The 3.4 is a darn good engine. Friend's Tacoma has that engine in it....it won't beat the Cherokee though. It'll about tie it.

Blazer with the 4.3 is REALLY a dog. Maybe the Cherokee is lighter, I don't know. But a Blazer with the 4.3 couldn't get out of it's own way.

The 4L I6 is the most balanced engine in terms of HP and torque that I have ever driven. It sinks you in the seat instantly off the line and holds you there! V6's have a tendency to be great HP producers up high, but gutless down low. My friend's 2001 Cherokee is even faster than my fiance's due to a newer engine design. I race people all the time in the ol' Jeep when I drive it.

I had an S10 with the 4.3L and it was fast as hell... relatively speaking.

the Cherokee vs the SS... come on... you are smoking crack!

And Marko is right on... saying the 180K cherokee will hang against a similar weight SUV with 400/400 power and all wheel drive launching... please try to not label your itenligance so poorly.

I'm not saying the SS is the best thing sense sliced bread... but COME ON! It pretty much beats most cars I come accross that isn't some special "type R" jap car or some big muscle car.

I've had 2 4.3L chevy's... one in an S10 and the other in a GMC Jimmy... the Jimmy's was the Vortec version... it had balls but the Jimmy was so fuck'n heavy that you didn't really notice... the S10 was fuck'n bad ass... it was a manual so I could smoke the tires up through third even with a 200lb sand bag over the rear axle.

if I couldn't swap the 3.4 Toyota motor into my pickup... the next is the 4.3 Vortec... it's got more hp and tq than the 3.4... but it's not toyota...

Yep! My S-10 had the 4.3. I put a cold air intake,an exhaust and Hyperteched it and I could hang with most normally aspirated cars. Oh and it was a manual! Whatever vehicle you get... manual FTW!

they are good for commuting too, especially when you are really tired

I would really only another manual if I got a sports car for some damn reason like if I lost a leg.
