TRD readys 504 hp Supercharger for 5.7L V8 engines

A GX-F would be fine, IMO. The 4Runner sport isn't too bad =P KDSS is leaps and bounds more advanced than X-REAS. But having a high-powered sport-tuned SUV doesn't seem right. I guess it's just me.

Toyota has developed Superchargers through TRD for a number of their engines over the years. The last gen 4.7L V8 also had one (although it disappeared after a while. And the 3.0 V6 also had one available.

My 03 V8 4Runner would have had a TRD SC but I got such a run around from Toyota and TRD that I gave up, now a 4.0 SC is coming out for the Tacoma and the 4.7 4Runner and GX still have nothing

Actually that S/C for the 2UZ-FE 4.7L was a kit available for the Tundra only. Because the 4Runner, LC, GX and LX had the same 2UZ-FE, those who were daring enough bolted on the S/C onto their rides.

In Toyota reign to maximize profit they lightened up the 4.7 which made it internally weaker does not effect it in anyway except adding power, TRD did sell the SC directly for the 4Runner but quickly pulled it, to many odd and random problems

I wonder what a dealer installed, brand new Tundra would go for, I remember seeing 3rd Gen 4Runners with SC that stickered for almost 40k and those where just nicely equipped SR5 with an original sticker of 32k, Im guessing with SC and install 5-7k more

Now he knows that selling that thing and buying a new 5.7L Sequoia is the better idea
