Is sluggish acceleration normal for a stock 5.7L Tundra?

Not sure. I got mine from a former member maybe 6-7 years ago. But he only made a few of them. There was another guy that started selling them but haven’t seen anything about it in years. I think they were both a little worried about liability issues. I pulled mine out before I got rid of the old truck. I’ll eventually try installing it back into my new truck.

 

I found the same thing when I traded my 2007 for a 2021. As others have mentioned, switching to tow/haul mode makes the throttle response WAY more lively. Not as much as my 07 was, but I purchased used, and there might have been some tuning done on that one before me...

 

just bought a '21 SR 2wd. Coming from an '18 tacoma, the tundra feels like it would get nasty real quick. It feels WAY more nimble and quick than the taco, and im at 19mpg for a tank average. Cant ask for more than that

 

i've located a '20 Tundra CM Limited TRD Offroad with 40k miles, and a certified '21 Tundra CM SR5 TRD Sport with 50k miles. Both priced at $39.9k. Might make a move here, folks! Appreciate everyone's input. I'm leaning towards the already certified one as the limited one the dealer wants me to pay for the certification.

 

Have to thank you guys that posted about turning on the tow mode. Tried it last night....WOW! Then turned it right back off because I actually like a smooth take off and to save my wallet from always being empty because I do like to take off fast which would have me buying a lot more gas.

Still nice to know from a stop I can hit that button and take off faster than this heavy beast has any right to.

 

Yep!

Only person that lies more than a car sales person will run for election on fixing the same problems for decades but never does anything besides leave things the same so they can run on the same problems next year. Then they get the average citizens to fight each other and argue about everything. So we don't realize we should be firing all of them.

But honestly it's weird because that means there is 5 seatbelts but 5 of me in the truck is over loaded. I guess this is the only situation I can flex my double cab sr5 2WD muscles!!!!

 

Same! My 2008 sequoia platinum really gunned it to a jerk. My 2015 sequoia platinum takes a bit to respond.
