maybe because they are alot easier to find, and they only have a few less horsepower.

there's alot more 2wd tacos than 4wd out there.

It's something to do with torque , I can't remember !
But they are both good engines !

Because hp to liter ratio is highest on them over any of the other normal swaps

They can be turboed easily

That and they may not know the difference. or just think that 8hp and 15ft lbs is nothing to worry about.

Because the number 2.4 is so deeply ingrained in their subconscious.
