The 4Runner gets around fine with ballpark what the 2.3 puts out.I suspect the 4D will be near 4.5K LB so the 2.7 will be necessary to move it's bulk.

I'd prefer an LS.Each to his own. I would prefer a normally aspirated V6 anyway.

"The 2.3 EcoBoost is a high-performance turbocharged engine with direct injection, built and tuned for meet sports ambitions and needs for a high speed of drivers. As a result, the reliability of many engine components is placed really close to the limits.
The most well-known problem for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine is a failed head gasket. Dozens of Ford Focus RS engines had an issue with a leaking head gasket."
