I knew it!! I have had a long on going debate with several of my friends that Toyota did sell vehicles with 4.88 gears stock. They all think I'm nuts. I assumed they came with automatics, but I wasn't sure if it was just the 4runners or if the trucks had them too.
Alright, so the criteria are:3.0Automatic4runner31 inch tires from the factoryWere the 4.88s OPTIONAL or if it matches those criteria its got 4.88s??
i don't believe it was an option... just standard with that criteria.I think the 1st gen 4runners with turbos and autos had the 4.37s or 4.56s.but yes the 2nd gens with the 3.0 and auto W/ 31s equipped were 4.88s
thats the info I have gathered from SEVERAL sources.the factory tire size factors the gear ratio really....
I dont think thats right I think they were 4.30s with autos
The criteria are TOW PACKAGE and factory 31" tires with auto trans. Anyway, my runner is w56 with 4.30 and i think i am gonna run them 4.88s, unless someone will buy them soon. Thanks for the input guys. -stephan
Cool just what I needed to know. Maybe i should put some money on this before I break the news to my friends
As mentioned it was the oem tire size and transmission that determined the gear ratio. In '90 when I was looking at for a new X-cab, you could get an auto w/oem 31's and 4.87 gear ratio. Even w/the taller gears it was gutless compared to the the 5-spd and 31's.
