Here is our comprehensive guide on the best upgrades for a Toyota Tacoma.

#1 Performance Upgrades

When it comes to your motor, ECU Tuning and a programmer will optimize the engine's performance, fuel efficiency and power delivery. An ECU tune can optimize the engine's performance parameters, resulting in a noticeable increase in power and torque. This means more power for acceleration, towing and off-road driving. 

An aftermarket exhaust system is another popular and highly recommended upgrade for a Toyota Tacoma. The aftermarket exhaust system is designed to reduce back pressure which allows the engine to breath easier.

A bumper can also provide you with additional mounting spots for lights and maybe a built in winch mount. Usually aftermarket bumpers are constructed from steel or aluminum, which will provide superior protection. That protection may be needed especially when you are off roading.
