Looking for more torque on 2013 Tacoma!

Hey guys, new to this forum, I just bought a new Tacoma 4x4 6 cil. trd pre-runner not to pleased my friend has a 2005 his truck is way faster than mine at the pedal and we boot have the same engine he says is probably the computer any suggestions???

 

Some of the earlier Tacoma's made of 2nd Gen(2005+) were faster then the years after. They had lowered the HP and Tourqe.

2005 Tacoma specs. As it did originally, the Tacoma shares a platform and an engine with the Toyota 4Runner, in this case the gutsy all-aluminum 4.0-liter, 245-horsepower (282 pound-feet of torque at 3800 rpm), 24-valve V-6. Standard is an all-new cast-iron block/aluminum head 2.7-liter, 164-horsepower (183 pound-feet of torque at 3800 rpm) four-cylinder, which replaces the current 2.4- and 2.7-liter four-bangers. There will be four transmission choices: a four-speed automatic and a five-speed manual for the four-cylinder engine and a new five-speed automatic and six-speed manual for the V-6. The automatics and manual transmissions are designed to save weight and smoothly manage the extra power from the stronger engines. Preliminary EPA estimates for the four-cylinder engine are 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Numbers for the bigger V-6 are 18 mpg city, 22 mpg highway.

 

Boost it, duh.

TRD supercharger
Or URD supercharger.

 

Nothing actually changed, they just switched to SAE standards for measuring horsepower. OP, I'd give your truck a little time to loosen up and get broken in

 

Oh really. Thanks for clarifying.

 

That's covered!

 

Thank you all 4 your feed back I actually have only 4,600 miles on it so is not broken in yet! any of u recommend and exhaust or installing a K&N air intake?

 

Any chip on the market that could help?

 

Bully dog or whatever was just released.

 

Adding a chip won't help either.

 

Let him be faster...all the way to the gas pump.

 

You didn't buy a truck to be a speed demon. Just drive it and enjoy.

 

I guess I'll start saving for the supercharger then and yes I know that I didn't buy my truck to race but a little disappointed to spend 36k so far on my truck and being left behind with not a fast solution to remedy...

 

Anyone else notice "4x4 Prerunner" – That doesn't exist last I checked..

 

He could always gear it down if he wants more torque..

OP - you didn't by chance by some sort of modified truck from the dealer with larger than normal tires?? A larger or heavier tire will feel slower..

Our local Toyota dealer is selling a Prerunner with a 6 inch (Procomp?) lift and 35 inch tires.. if it's not regeared that would feel much slower.. Also, if you have say "Class E" BFG's or other tires, that will feel much slower because it's a heavier tire..

I personally have never felt like my truck was slow, it keeps up with traffic fine and if you plant the peddle it gives you plenty of power. I find that its a little too easy to speed in my family's BMW's. The truck goes the speed limit nicely and has plenty of power for merging onto the freeway.. I have a 2010

 

Lol now that you mention it, check out his wheels n tires on his profile. He's running 285/70/r18 BFG mud terrains

 

Well..there ya go. Yu put 33s on it and didn't think it would effect the performance? Haha guess again.

 

Since they're 18's he probably also has aftermarket rims which are probably steel, not alloy, so they would add a significant amount of weight (unsprung) which will kill his performance..

You would think he would mention this in his Original Post...
