    2014 4.6 Tundra
    Rear TRD Sway bar
    Hello from the greater Houston Texas area. This my first Toyota and first Tundra. I've been a GM guy all my life and wanted to try something different. My Tundra is a 2014 SR5 4.6 Crewmax, 20" black wheels TSS package. I wish I would have gotten the 5.7, was trying to avoid such low gas mileage. The 4.6 downshifts to much in hilly territory. It has descent power, but the 5.7 doesn't have to downshift. The Tundra are a lot lighter pickup than I'm used to and wasn't as stable, but it pulls well. I heard via YouTube about the install of a TRD rear Sway bar. I purchased one and had it installed, WHAT A DIFFERENCE in feel and stability, well worth it. QUESTION, is there a performance chip available for the 4.6?

    Welcome from Colorado. Nice looking truck. Hope you like the Tundra more than the GMC even though it's the 4.6 and might be underpowered vs your old truck.
