2.7 Low RPM power, and lack of it

so i've had my 2000 2.7l tacoma since the summer. Its always been pretty slower unless i really rev the engine high to get it goin. Its a 5 speed. My dads V6 taco crew cab cruises around town fast as can be and its RPMS have plenty of power through the whole range, even low. I feel like my truck has little to no power untill i get up to about 2500 rpms. The clutch is good. my brakes aren't sticking. i just feel like i have to rev this thing real high to get any kind of power out of it. what are some things i should look at? pcv valve? its got 5 month old bosch platinum plus plugs in it. i';ve run techron injector and fuel system cleaner. Just don't know what else to look at.

Anyone else with 2.7 feel like this?

ya man i know. Its just this truck is on recall and i don't know whats gonna happen with it. i don't want to invest much, plus i don't have much money for a gear change. I just want to have it runnin right. It has a rumbly idle kinda like you think its gonna run out of gas, but very slightly

Mine has a pretty rough idle at times and the rpms will jump around a bit close to 0 then back up to over 1000. it doesn't do it all the time but its happening more now than in the past.
