This [2010 4runner SR5 2wd]
with this
Toyota 2TR-FE 2.7 liter I4. 157 rachus ponies and 178 lbs-ft. You got 1 better mpg on the highway but had to give up 113 hp and 100 lbs-ft of torque.
I can’t even imagine driving something this heavy with the same basic trans as as my land cruiser but with 55 less hp and 97 less lbs-ft. it would be downright undrivable at elevation with a load.

They dropped it after 1 year and never looked back. good luck trying to even find one for sale.
