What is HP of '90 22R-E

I have a '90 4runner with a 22R-E engine. Manuals list the HP at 116 hp and
it would not surprise me.

I am seriously thinking of getting a Honda Element but the main concern was
the 154HP engine and whether it would be under-powered. But after living
with a 116HP 4runner for 16 years it may feel like a speed demon.

Yup its 116. I had a '90 22RE $Rnr with 5 Spd. Ok with one or two people
and flat land. My daughter has now in hills of WV - I bet a VW T2 van would
pass her.

116 hp may be marginal for a 4wd truck but I find it to be plenty for a
2wd, hills or not. I live in the Oregon mountains.

If it has the proper axle ratios for the tire sizes in use, 116 HP is
more than up to task. It is proper gearing that makes it happen moreso
than engine most of the time in off road running. I have a big old
full sive J20 truck that is rated at about 160 HP and it has no lack
of power off road because it is well geared for it power curve and is
quite the tank at times.

Same here. Mine is fine on flat roads. It takes about 4 miles to get up
to speed but it will hold it once there. However, when driving through the
western Sahara mountains there are times where I could get out and pass it
on foot.

I towed a 2000 LB Trailer Loaded with a couple of Wheelers 300 miles through
the Green Mountains of VT... and YES the 1994 Yota, 22re that I was towing
it with struggled at best.... To get up the final mountain to the camp I
was going to I even had to drop it down into 4WD LOW as it just wouldn't
crawl up in 1st High... but I must say.. it certainly made it....
