Coming from a guy with a couple Turbo cars. Hopefully this Taco with have bigger intercooler products, downpipes, Cold Air Intakes, Blow Off Valves, and Oil catch cans. Very important especially if people are going to run 35-37s and slap on tons a weight. That Turbo needs to breathe better & cool down better.

Definitely a nice build! What if you upgraded the radiator to a CSF and added a secondary cooler for the transmission? Also, with the added weight and larger tires, a regear might help a lot. You've added so much stress to the drivetrain with the nearly 400 lbs. of unsprung weight, greater diameter tires and a turbo. A regear would really help to manage those stresses much better. You'd probably realize better MPG as well.

Everyone on the Facebooks got all offended when I said this motor was going to be overstressed with big ass tires and all the racks and bumpers and stuff tacked on. In order to make the power/torque that it makes, it needs to be in boost. This truck is as heavy as a current F150/Silverado and with 35's and all the other crap, the 2.4L is having to move a lot of mass and tons of aerodrag, so its going to be deep in boost all the time. We already saw this with people setting up their 2.3L Rangers for overlanding. They were getting F250 V8 gas mileage. And I am not hating on turbo gas motors, I owned a 2014 F150 3.5L Ecoboost for 9 years and loved it. But my 6400 lb empty F150 Ecoboost on 35's got better MPG than this. It had 45% more displacement and so even moving that mass and large tires it was far less stressed.

And as I look at this guy's rig this thing is probably 1000 pounds lighter than my 2018 3rd gen on 37s with an off-road camper on the back and all the bells and whistles that go along with off-roading an overlanding. When it came to buying a 24. I wanted to wait to see how this engine holds up against the worst we overlanders can through at these trucks. These over weighted rigs are about to face there first real test. and that is a summer wheeling in Utha, Arizona, New Mexico, California, And Texas. If this thing is overheating in the snow. what the hell is it going to do in 100 pulse temps of the West and South of America. I give it 2 years before we start really hearing about these truck's engine giving up where 1, 2, and 3 gens breezed through. We are asking for more from engine built to do less. You can through all the turbos you want on these things. All that does is shortens their lives. Remember It's not about year 1, or year 2. Its about year 5 and beyond.

Sounds like it has enough torque to not gear hunt, but at the cost of being in boost more than you'd want. So re-gear makes sense. Don't think you'd need to go as high as previous gens. From there someone needs to head to PURETURBO for them to make some more efficient hybrid turbos paired with more cooling.

Was looking at one of these and now I'm a little scared. That overheating seems like it would be an issue with the amount of load, but even then, tires, roof rack, bed rack, bumper gear...that's still gotta be under payload right? someone smarter than I am, let me know if maybe this is just a 'modded issue' as I'd likely be going stock for a while.

I have 285/70's on my 4G and I average 22mpg on the highway (most of my daily 30mi commute). About to pass 1k miles on the odo, and stock 265/70's I saw up to 25mpg. Mind you these are averages, so longer travel times will increase average.

Ford has been manufacturing Turbo 4 cylinders for quite some time now, and Toyota is actually one of the last to implement the Turbo 4 Cyl in their Mid-Size truck offering. So they are definitely not inovating. Played it "safe" for a while i'd say. The NISSAN Frontier, on the other hand, is one of the last pickups to sport a naturally aspirated engine. The VQ38 is solid, and mated to a buttery and bulletproof 9 spd Auto. Drivetrain-wise, I'd go with the Nissan Frontier. But hey, it's not all about that. Tough choice here between the Taco and the Frontier. Maybe throw a more efficient radiator, oil cooler for the AT, and bigger HEAT EXCHANGER for the Turbo and we have a winner.

@@abjeepify no. no it doesn't. energy is taken from the engine and stored for later use in a battery. that energy (minus losses) is then used when you need it. PERHAPS you will enjoy some boost at some time, but not for long continuous use. the battery is drained and energy has to be diverted to charge it (or is left discharged). at that point, you have an ICE engine with heavy hybrid components along for the ride. or worse, charging steals energy when you need it. every conversion, and even storage of energy causes losses. i can't believe people think you get extra power by adding a hybrid system.

It’s tough to bet against Toyota considering their reliability history but he is worried about the turbo. I am sure there will be aftermarket support but if the turbo will be an issue with this type of conversion / upgrades I do not want to spend $50-60k on all ready over priced Tacoma and know I will end up pouring even more $$ to upgrade coolers or turbo. If in fact this will be the case. Let hope not.

Toyota's reliability was built off using old tech, detuned slow engines, and testing everything so thoroughly before release. Now that they are trying to compete with modern vehicles, they are having the same issues. This was seen through the tech updates and electrical issues in the last gen and now again with all of their new trucks. Tuning will probably help the overheating by keeping it in a lower gear. Might be a good idea to install an external cooler if there isn't already one for the trans fluid. Thank you for being a pioneer on a new platform!
