I-Force?

Got a thought when I was thumbing thought Tundra photos. Does the gen 3 Tundra deserve to have the i-Force name as it's name came with the first V8. Or am I just overthinking Toyota's ideas

Pretty sure it's the same type of tech.

 

I’d say so. 3rd gen engine has more power and is more suited for truck purposes as this engine makes more power lower in the rpm band than the V8

 

Has this been asked before......on the hybrids. If you remove the Hybrid part. Does it make the same power as a non hybrid?

 

It should. It's the same engine in both, but I'm not sure to what extent things are changed to make the hybrid work with it.

If you were to literally take the hybrid components off it wouldn't run at all, is my guess.

 

i-FORCE has been around since 2000. It was introduced on the 4.7L V8, the 2UZ-FE. The "i" stands for Intelligence referring to VVTi (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence).

So yes, Toyota has pretty much always used it on their truck and SUV engines.

 

Tacoma has an I-Force 4 banger.

 

And the Tacoma is a truck.

 

Yes I know the Tacoma is a truck. Thank you. I was talking to the OP.

 

It's said it was iforce beginning with the first Tundra.
