    Lol I forget most of these forums are for fanboys. Guess I should have worded my post differently, but I was hoping for feedback on fixing the problem, not sarcasm. OV tuning defintely gets the issues with the mapping on this engine, just concerned about throwing my warranty out the window with 3K on the clock. Thanks to the few that gave positive suggestions, much appreciated

    I believe he meant that he test drove a different one on the lot after already owning his. But still, if they were all bad the one he owns now should of acted up on the test drive.

    Replace the motor with a V8 or a diesel.

    I honestly believe that this is the common denominator here. We as a culture have been groomed to expect lots of HP and lots of low end torque from modern pickups. The Tacoma in ether v6 or i4 has neither. This does not mean that the truck is bad/junk/outdated. It's just DIFFERENT. It's also incompatible with some folks wants or needs but they don't realize that before they buy unfortunately.

    There is a tsb for the mapping out. One for the manuals and one for the auto.
    Look up surge and the other is for high altitude

    Gonna have to side with the OP, sometimes I hate my truck and wish it would run 10 second 1/4 mile runs and do drag car smokey block long burnouts. POS Tacoma I have today.
