    I bought a New 2019 Tacoma SR5 Auto 3.5 V6 about 4 months ago, It has about 3k miles now.. my concern is while just cruising down the highway it acts like it is towing something.. RPM's around 3000. Straightaways and or hills.. I have to put the brakes on for it to idle back down around 1500.. Is this normal... Should I take to the dealer.

    Every thing is higher then the 4.0. Both the horsepower and the torque come on significantly higher. You can try, but they’ll likely tell you the same thing.

    The 3.5 in my wife’s Venza is from the same family. It’s gutless at 1500. The 4.0 had 80% of its max torque at 2000. You could drive around all day and never go above 3000. It’s the nature of the beast.
