I am tossing the idea around of replacing my 20 year old Dodge Ram pickup. The rust is becoming more than I can repair.
I am looking at either a new Toyota Tundra or Chevy Silverado. I am very familiar with the Chevy engines. If I choose the Chevy I may opt for the 4.3L V6 and 2 wheel drive if the engine is smooth enough.
I do not need all the bells and whistles and am considering a base model truck. I also do not tow or need lots of horsepower. Base engines for both trucks provide the power I need.
My question is... Is the 4.6 Toyota engine as reliable and as good as the 5.7 I-force? I do all maintenance and repairs myself and like the truck, but have no knowledge of the 4.6 being as respected for longevity and reliability as the 5.7.
Is the architecture for the 4.6 the same as the 5.7 with different bore and stroke? or are they totally different engines? Also is the 4.6 the same engine that they use in the Lexus GX 460?
