    I really love my 2018 Tacoma but the lack of low end power really sucks! Toyota knows of this problem but want fix it, they have the program to take care of everything. If the people at Orange Virus can solve the program then Toyota can as well. I know people on here will say didn't you drive it first yea but didn't take my boat to try it out, you would thank it would pull better. Not trying to cut OV out of any money or anything but it should be a fix from Toyota, they created it.

    Toyota has to meet EPA standards, OV tune does not.
    Do you have it in S4 with ECT on while towing? If not you should.

    Toyota is working within legislated confines to meet environmental standards. They can of course tune it much better but not legally.

    Mine runs great all the time. Really great if I floor it. I'd imagine they weighed heavily gas milage and power. If they made it faster and advertised 14-16 mpg they wouldn't sell as many. So this amount of power and 18-20 is what they settled on to make most happy.

    Your truck is working exactly as designed. If you don't like the design, you're in the wrong truck.
    Toyota isn't going to do shit for you.

    Choose the right tool for the job.

    Goddamn, this is the most accurate statement I’ve ever seen on here.

    Seriously, quit whining about the damn thing and “choose the right tool for the job”


    My Tacoma is more than giving me my Toyota fix
