    Recently took my 2018 SR5 Premium on a road trip to Utah from Washington state. Had a little trouble on the incline on the freeway. I believe from all the extra weight. Had a roof top tent on and lots of other miscellaneous camping stuff.

    Just looking for suggestions for a cold air intake plus exhaust upgrade. Hoping that will help with some extra horse power!

    Super charger, and/or re-gearing are about all we can do for these rigs as far as power goes.

    Seriously, the above two are true. A CAI & exhaust only allow for better breathing. You need to change gears or ECU (S/C) to get any major gains.
    Or fabricate a turbo system & blow us all away...
    Wish it was easier,

    I have the Dry S Filter and absolutely love it.

    Even check out the Pedal Commander. Doesn’t help with HPs, but helps the throttle response.
