    2014 Tacoma TRD Off Road
    I’m from Houston. I’m a Navy submarine Veteran living the beautiful civilian life now. Finally pulled the trigger and bought me a 2014 TRD Off Road. Switched from a Honda Accord so I’m still getting used to visiting the pump twice as often. I didn’t buy this truck for the fuel mileage anyways lol. I think my only dislike so far on the truck is the lack of throttle response and feeling like it struggles to get up to highway speeds without me having to mash the gas pedal and guzzle fuel. Is this a normal thing? I’ve been browsing through the different posts trying to see if this is a normal thing or not. Overall I bought this truck for daily driving with the ability to take it off-road comfortably. I’ve already accepted the low fuel mileage and Accepted it doesn’t have V8 power. I just don’t know what I should be expecting and what I should be looking into to make sure my truck is performing optimally. 584ECBEE-FFE5-4008-A00F-F297351AEEEB.jpg

    I’m from Deer Park. All my family is down in that area. I actually live 2 1/2 hours north up 45 but I spend all of my off time down there.
