‘23 Tacoma 3.5L V6 is a dog….

S4+ECT in town and S5 or S6 on the highway. Shifts much better.

 

Yep, sounds like the 2024 hybrid with ~330hp is more your alley.

I also question if the truck was test driven before purchase.

 

Seems I am getting some REAL information and other unreal info from comedians. I appreciate real info. Do not care for BS. I have asked clear questions. Not trying to fuel a fire. MTG

 

Took a while to get used to I guess either one you get used to it or it gets used to you! Not really sure which!

 

Did you add bigger tires and some heavy accessories? That would explain the reduced performance and gas mileage.

 

Winter gas is probably contributing to your issues. A tune and or a pedal commander will help. These trucks are tuned for gas mileage so they shift early.

 

Is it any better in manual mode or shoot some high test gas through it for a couple tanks.

 

Do not care for BS.
This is a forum get over yourself
Not trying to fuel a fire.
Like you said... BS

 

TyRoosevelt and others, thank you for clear and constructive help. That is what I am seeking. MTG

 

Buddy, you're posting emotions and nebulous complaints. Of course you're going to get BS. It's what we do best.

I really don't know how to help you. The engine was designed to rev high, not lug low like your Nissan. So rev it high.

 

Not helpful when wanna be comedians chime in with nonsense. That is so childish and unnecessary. Hell, at my extended age I don’t need nonsense.
I will look for a tune. Drive different and seek real time performance upgrades.

 

oh look its another guy who bought a truck without test driving it...get the hell outta here

 

Sir , its plain in simple this truck has terrible mpg . Mine hasnt seen over 19mpg in months. I dont even baby the accelerator anymore i just step on sum bitch

 

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it childish.

My truck is tuned. I like it because it makes the shift and throttle responses more predictable. It does not add torque in the low rpms however.

The real answer is the one that the comedians are screaming and is the one you don't like. Jump on the pedal. The power is in the high rpm range.

Tunes are great, and I enjoy my tune. But also, know where the engine is laying it's best power.

 

I paid for the whole tachometer, I'm damn sure using the whole tachometer

 

did you investigate before you bought it? did you test drive it? do you need some kind of affirmation? please let us know what you need?

 

If it’s as bad as you say, and noticeably worse than when you bought it, then the simple solution is that it’s on warranty, so have your dealer run diagnostics.
Good luck.

 

Test drove my Tacoma. Was pleased with performance that particular day. Since, performance and mileage have dismissed. NO, do not require affirmation! My requirements reside within clear and concise input. Not comedic BS.

 

An alternative to a tune is Pedal Commander and Shift Sense Pro. I've had both of these installed in numerous Tacomas. I highly recommend both. The driving experience is truly unbelievable. Easy plug and play (literally) and no permanent mods. Just installed both in my new 2023 TRD Sport.
