Be Real, Tacoma underpowered?

could always use more of course.

 

Thats why I bought a manual haha I can't stand autos

 

I just shift my auto when needed , it's not rocket science

 

It definitely needs more power. You can feel it when you go to pass. I don't know if the TRD blower does a better job...but the truck as it is...needs a tad more umph.

 

Mine has adequate power. Cruises fine at highway speed. Dies well with a load.

It does not have great acceleration but my wife has a 300hp sedan which satisfies the need for speed.

Overall the power, economy, hauling abilities are well balanced on the Tacoma.

 

I have the 4.0 V6 and feel that power is adequate for the size truck.

 

It's just not the same though...

 

Pretty much

 

My 2.7 4x4 with a 5 speed is anything but fast. But I love the slow torquey feel. I would not change it at all. I just got 410 miles out of my last tank, wouldn't want to ruin the mileage either.

 

Nothing another 100hp and 5 more mpg wouldn't fix!

 

I came from driving a 2011 wrx.
The first impression when I test drove my 2013 Baja Tacoma
I thought to myself, the truck was super slow.
I stepped on the gas pedal hard! And it took like 3 second for the truck to start pulling.

But then after I BOUGHT it, I never stepped on it hard and is currently at 700 miles
Easy going mile but at times I do push the pedal harder to pass people and what not.
But most of the time I felt like I couldn't make it, and just slow down to wait and pass.....

Is this normal lol?

 

I don't get all upset about more HP and torque, but the supercharger is in my plan. With the manual trans you can keep the truck in the torque band pretty good.

 

I came from driving a 350 HP Volvo C30....I know what you mean. I have just adopted the country philosophy of driving like I am in no hurry. I like driving my truck slow, as weird as it sounds, it is kind of fun.

 

My buddy added a Banks Power exhaust and intake.he says his went up in power and has no problems. He claims 270Hp after upgrades. Seems a bit much. I wish it was 300hp with the same 21mpg hwy Stock

 

I'm gonna be fake. It has too much power!!!

 

Not at all underpowered.

GIVE ME A DIESEL TACOMA, TOYOTA

 

if there was more power I wouldn't think twice about the crappy gas mileage

 

It's adequate. The supercharger is in my plans, though.
