    So I have a 2013 that I bought a few months back and I would love to buy a aftermarket part for some added torque, snap, throttle response. I know they make a supercharger type but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on that... Any mods you taco heads might know of?

    Just kidding. behind the air filter is a charcoal filter that doesn't do much if anything after a few years. Remove it! Be sure to put the real (clean) air filter back in:burnrubber::D

    This is about your only option, since forced induction is not option.

    Unfortunately, no.

    Gears will make it better, but they aren't cheap either.

    If you are 4wd you have to do both ends.

    And you'll lose MPG in your daily driving.

    Gears or supercharger are really the only options. You could try a pedal commander as well

    Go drive a 3rd gen with an auto. It's free and will make your 2nd gen feel like it has more torque.

    you want more power but don't want to spend more money... try one of those $20 ebay tuner chips that guarantee a 50% power increase :popcorn:
