is Tacoma's V6 weak?

Add a 2stage Nitrous Oxide system and it won't feel weak.

 

The 3.5 puts double the fun at 3500/4500 it’s like the double double!

 

Be careful you don't blow the welds on the intake

 

Lol!

 

Here in CA, I am very reluctant to fiddle with a tune that could blow my ability to smog my truck.

 

It’s cheap plastic, you’ll be ok.

 

There's a big thread on that. Currently working on CARB approval I think.

If I were you I'd consider moving to a different state.

 

It don't matter if you win with a 4runner or a Tacoma, winning's winning.

 

I’d move.

And farming is easy work when one plows with a keyboard.

Picking up and leaving California is not as easy as it sounds:

• Sell your paid-off home
• Abandon Prop-13 protected low property taxes
• Clean out and pack the garage warehouse for relocation
• Buy a high priced home somewhere else
• Buy into 2x~3x higher property tax rate and HOA
• Move away from family and grand children
• Move away from social functions
• Move away from familiar haunts and businesses
• Change medical and dental providers
• Change banks, accounts, credit cards
• Change drivers license, insurance, utilities, CCW
• Find a new job

In light of the above, I will simply not opt for a Tune.
Too much hassle that I don't need.

 

Hopefully you have a replacement t case on order or plan on selling your truck extremely soon

 

Right!?

Honestly these truck’s don’t need a tune, people just need to to practice patience. Unfortunately most everyone is in a big hurry all the time, and not sure why…


…patience, you’ll get there!

 

I used to live there. Couldn't fart in that state without getting taxed for it. Doesn't appear you have the time to schedule a tune anyway.

 

Sales tax in Palmdale/Lancaster is now 10.25%

Had to do a double take on that

 

Are you that guy that guns it from stop sign to stop sign? Is there a need to be in "the power" all the time when driving a mid sized truck? I drove a 1990 S-10 with a 2.5 four banger mated to a five speed for many years. I mean if you want to talk about a weak truck. Although it did get better mpg that the new 4th gen

 

How much power do you need? What is the Tacoma not able to do for you because it is 'underpowered.' I have a 2023 and it does all I need it to do.

 

I like the soft bottom end for the commute and easing into it since it is stop and go, no reason to race. Usually just going to work, why be in a hurry to get there, ya know? Lol!

Toyota used to brag about their fuel economy.
