2026 4th Gen News ans Update. A V6 Engine Looks Unlikely Due to Toyota’s Nature

Wanted to have a discussion on the kind of gas other Taco owners use for their trucks. I'm well aware that the electronic control module in most Toyotas is tuned for 87 octane, which is peak efficiency. Higher octane gas doesn't necessarily improve performance. Instead, octane ratings indicate how resistant the fuel is to pre-ignition. Also, I think modern engines have sensors that can help prevent pre-ignition, but there's still a small chance it can happen. Just an open discussion, let me know what kind of gas you use for your Taco.

Don't know if anyone else heard any rumors about Toyota’s plan for the 2026 4th Gen by having a v6 turbo available.

First heard this from a friend and i told him it was unlikely. Said so because Toyota takes a very long time to make big changes like this.

Just the nature of a Japanese company. They're simply not going to debut a new engine two years after a major redesign. Still, would like to see what they have planed for the future tho.
