    I've been buying Toyotas since 1976 with confidence and never been sorry. Until I bought the 2016 Tacoma V6 automatic. Zero low end torque. Had a 2010 with the 4 liter engine and it was fine. Anybody found a solution short of a supercharger?

    There is no supercharger option. There really is no other option at this time, the OV Tune is our best hope at this time

    When someone complains about low end power and you link to a thread that doesn't show much gain until 3000+ RPM.

    Dyno results sub 2500-3k rpms are not reliable. Just saying. The other thread is pretty clogged with noise but there should be some useful info about the tune this evening..

    @Dfree , if you've been driving Toyota trucks since 1976 you should be used to almost no low end torque. The 2nd gen bumped it up a bit but if you really need more low end buy the correct Toyota truck next time, the Tundra.
