    hey guys, i was wondering if any of you guys have the first gen trd tacoma and have a 2nd gen tacoma, does it feel like the first gen has a better throttle response than the 2nd gen? i drove my cousins first gen today and he has 285/75/16 wheels and it seem it had a quicker and better response than my 2nd 4.0L? any thoughts or suggestions post them up! thanks:D

    98% sure

    edit 100% sure, post 5, along with others. Its not a true fly by wire since it still has a cable up to the intake manifold, but the cable works the fly by wire thing.
