Fitment

Confirm your engine

Toyota calls both engines 2TR-FE. Toyota built it in two versions: single VVT-i (2005-2015) and dual VVT-i (2016-2023). They are NOT interchangeable. Your new engine must match your truck.

• Go by model year: 2005-2015 Tacoma and 2010 4Runner = single VVT-i. 2016-2023 Tacoma (the redesigned 3rd-generation Tacoma) = dual VVT-i.
• Check the 10th digit of your VIN (the model-year code): F = 2015 (single VVT-i). G = 2016, H = 2017, J = 2018, K = 2019, L = 2020, M = 2021, N = 2022, P = 2023 (all dual VVT-i).
• The 5th digit of the VIN won't tell you. It is X (2.7L 2TR-FE) on both versions, so use the model year (10th digit) instead.
• Look at the engine: the dual VVT-i engine has a second cam phaser on the exhaust camshaft, with a second VVT-i oil control solenoid on top of the valve cover. The single VVT-i engine has a cam phaser on the intake cam only.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and we'll confirm the right engine before yours is built.

Oil pan and oil pickup

• This engine ships without an oil pan or oil pickup. Transfer the oil pan and oil pickup from your current engine.

Casting numbers

The "2TR" mark is cast on the rear face of the cylinder head (see photo).

The "2TR" casting mark confirms you have a 2TR-FE engine, but the "2TR" mark appears on the block and head of both the single and dual VVT-i versions, so it can't tell them apart. Use your model year / VIN 10th digit or the exhaust cam phaser check above.

Not covered

• 2005-2015 Tacoma and 2010 4Runner single VVT-i 2TR-FE: see our Toyota 2.7L 2TR-FE (Single VVT-i) listing

Break-in

The first 1,000 miles are the break-in period. Use conventional oil only, change the oil and filter at 500 miles, vary your RPM, and avoid towing, heavy loads and long idling. Check your oil level regularly, since some oil burn-off is normal until the rings seat. Following the break-in procedure is required to keep your warranty.

Warranty and core

Warranty: 1-year unlimited-mile warranty on the engine only; labor is not covered. Optional 3-year extended warranty available for $1,500 (includes labor coverage at $50/hr). See our Warranty & Refund Policy. Add the 3-year extended warranty to your order.

Core charge: none. All engines are built to order.
