    hello everyone.

    Just had a couple of questions. I own a 04 taco -TRD package/V6. i was wondering what ways I could increase my torque? I tow 2-3 bikes+trailer at least once a month. And do I need better suspension?

    thanks

    Get a TurboDiesel! :D

    J/K - I know that an ECU upgrade will slightly increase torque, but not by a significant amount. You might want to look at intake/exhaust/ECU packages to upgrade too. Then again, there is always the compressed air route (turbo/supercharger).

    Maybe someone else can help you more than me... :rolleyes:

    I don't think you'd need shocks, you've already got nice Billsteins with the TRD package.:D
