Description

The 2017 Toyota Tacoma 2TR-FE 2.7L Remanufactured Engine is based on Toyota’s 2TR-FE engine architecture, a naturally aspirated inline-four engine developed for durability and long service life in pickup trucks and SUVs. The 2TR-FE belongs to Toyota’s TR engine family and has been widely used in Tacoma models for many years.

This engine features a 2.7-liter displacement (2693 cc) and a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) design with four valves per cylinder. In factory configuration, the engine produces approximately 159 horsepower at 5200 rpm and around 180 lb-ft of torque at 3800 rpm, delivering balanced performance for daily driving and light-duty truck use.

Remanufactured engines undergo a detailed rebuilding process in which the engine is disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt using new or refurbished internal components. This process restores engine tolerances and ensures dependable performance.

Engine fitment can be verified with the notes and ‘Vehicle Fitment’ tab above, or with the casting numbers under ‘Additional Information’ (if applicable).

Every engine we sell is fully remanufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications:

• Deep Clean – To start the remanufacturing process, every engine is fully disassembled and hot tanked (cast iron) or thermally cleaned (aluminum)
• Inspection – Magnaflux testing uses magnetic particles to inspect metal, checking for microscopic cracks and fissures that will cause long-term failure. All parts are visually inspected as well.
• Machining and New Parts – Deck surfaces are CNC machined and new parts are added. New parts inlcude bearings, pistons, rings, lifters, oil pump, gaskets, Viton™ valve seals, freeze plugs, galley plugs and either a new timing chain (with new tensioners) or a new timing belt (with new tensioner). If an engine has a timing-driven water pump, a new pump is installed.
• SIM Testing – Each engine is SIM tested after reassembly, with the cooling and oil systems being fully pressurized and the crank being spun at high RPM to verify compression and build quality.

Because of our rigorous remanufacturing process, we can offer the industry’s best warranties. Each engine comes with up to 7 years and 1 million miles of warranty, which can be upgraded to include Pure Care™ no-fault protection. No other engine manufacturer comes close.
