ROCKN\'FJ is off the scale
Default

It comes stock with a very heavy but torquey 6 cylinder. Smog controls after 1978 killed any power that they ever had and even fuel injection couldn't overcome the gaggle of hoses and other garbage that the feds spec'd. Just ask any Land Cruiser luxury wagon owner. It also costs more to rebuild the 6 than to purchase a rebuilt Chevy V8 engine or other GM take-out. The 6 actually has tons of low-end torque which works great offroad and the extra weight up front is killer on steep hillclimbs. But given the choice, I would never even entertain the thought of reverting back to a 6 cylinder. No way!
