The engine is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a pick-up truck. Buyers typically want something powerful enough to handle hauling tasks and provide performance as needed. The 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland and 2021 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 6A are both capable trucks with similar specs on paper - but which performs better in the real world?
2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Horsepower: 285
Torque: 260 lb-ft.
2021 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 6A
Engine: 3.5L V6 DOHC
Horsepower: 278
Torque: 265 lb-ft.
Despite being slightly larger and offering more strength, the Gladiator shines in terms of efficiency. Its two-step Variable Valve Lift System is specifically designed to remain in low-power mode until you need the full complement of muscle. As a result, the Jeep has a fuel economy rating of 10.4 L/100 km on the highway (compared to the 10.5 L/100 km offered by the Toyota Tacoma).Â
Additionally, the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland utilizes Command Trac 4x4, which divides torque equally between the front and rear axles. This system is also capable of performing a smooth shift from two to four-wheel drive at speeds up to 72 km/h.Â
