My truck is quiet enough for me to listen to my favorite classical music

probably closer to 7, fast enough for a pickup truck.

The tests of your truck report 0-60 times of *over* 8 seconds, with professional drivers.


I beat 8 seconds several times once the truck had 5000 miles on it, and
I'm not the word's best shifter on the manual tranny.

I'm sure you got the one truck that is capable of beating the times that professional drivers were able to obtain with instrumented timing gear.
Uh-huh.


I believe most of those tests were done with auto transmissions and
since then, Toyota has reprogrammed them to operate more efficiently and
to change gears at different shift points. In any event, the opinions of
someone like you are of no consequence to me.


And modern autos are faster than manual transmissions, especially when the manual is shifted by someone like you. You are, as usual, full of ****.

Have a nice day.



I've never driven a Tacoma 4x4 with the V6 so I don't have first hand
knowledge of how it performs. However, Harry claimed 0-60 times of
"under 8 seconds, closer to 7". Professional testers recorded times of
"over 8" which frankly makes a lot more sense. Harry's claim raised my
eyebrows slightly, especially when he has previously claimed his truck
weighs close to 4,400 lbs.

In a 0-60 acceleration test the difference of 1 second is *HUGE* in
terms of performance. It's usually broken down to tenths of seconds.
