4runners are not supose to be fast. Its a truck engine and meant for torque and towing. The little 3.0's are not as fast as many people think. If its auto you maynot be getting its full power out either. Mine is the same why. Its a truck engine remember. Yotas are for strength and long life not speed. And uh you may just need a tune-up.

I dunno, my 3.0 has some good get up and go when I need it.

Make sure the ECT button is on. I accidentally clicked mine off for one day, and was crying at the difference in power/acceleration.

Other than that, you may want to do the ISR mod, and might make a difference in your eyes. Did a little for me...
