Car Forum / Lexus Cars / August 2004Difference between a 2003 4Runner V8 and a 2003 LX470 engine?
Displacement, power and torque rating are exactly the same. Do you know what is the real difference beside the logo? The Honda Pilot and Acura MDX has similar engine except the MDX is fine-tuned for 20 more horses. > Displacement, power and torque rating are exactly the same.

Except here's a good one I own a 2001 Sequoia with the 4.7L engine, the owners manual recommends regular unleaded yet the same engine in the Lexus' require Premium?? Wonder why? Income level? >> Displacement, power and torque rating are exactly the same. Do you >> know what is the real difference beside the logo?

In the Toyota case, it's odd because the power and torque are exactly the same. Why one needs Premium, the other is OK with regular. Like you said, probably due to income level. In the 4Runner, they said Premium is recommended in severe condition such as towing. Anyway, thanks to those who is willing to pay big bucks for the name. Without the LX470, a nice vehicle like the 2003 4Runner may not exist. > Except here's a good one I own a 2001 Sequoia with the 4.7L engine, the > owners manual recommends regular unleaded yet the same engine in the Lexus' [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > No differences at all in the engine. > Except here's a good one I own a 2001 Sequoia with the 4.7L engine, the > owners manual recommends regular unleaded yet the same engine in the Lexus' > require Premium?? Wonder why? Income level? Isn't the Sequoia application turned for more torque and less power? Tuning can certainly affect octane requirements. - Mark 4Runner is the same as a GX 470....The LandCruiser is the same as a LX470.... |
