I'm not trying to make a statement towards any engine. I'm sharing as a resource to anyone interested in modern Toyota engine design.

2TR-FE is probably the best Toyota engine made after 2000 aside from the 2UZ-FE and 2ZZ-GE.

I wish our trucks were 2TR-FE. I drive it like it has 180hp anyways.

V6s are a compromise layout. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one unless it was the only choice.

2GR-FKS doesn't really belong in a truck anyways. How can a Lotus and pickup truck share the same engine? It shouldn't be possible. Everything that makes a truck engine a good truck engine would make it a pretty terrible sports car engine.

At least the 1GR was mostly in body on frame SUV or trucks.
