Power-to-Weight Ratio

Besides, for trucks these are pretty safe. Most cars have gotten a lot heavier over the years due to safety improvement. My '88 Toy pickup was just a tuna can compared to my '17 Tacoma. Or should I have said "fatty tuna" when I was driving it.

 

I've recommended the following before on here...remove all doors and bumpers and hood.

Then buy a cai.....lol

 

I know my Tacoma is not a sports car and isn't quick [stated due to the expected knee-jerk responses].

I'd like to better understand the approximate acceleration hit at passing speeds if several hundred pounds of armor and gear are added.

Is anyone familiar with how to approximately calculate the acceleration 'cost' of additional weight? Is there a mathematical way to determine the approximate additional horsepower required to offset adding XXX lbs of gear.

Thanks in advance.
