I can't find anything except for a chip reprogram. I'm not interested in that. A supercharger would be nice. I mean holy crap these trucks are SLOW. Good thing this is the wife's car, I couldn't drive it everyday.

I don't think it is slow for what it weighs and what it is made for.Slow compared to what other competent well rounded SUV?
That being said I hear you, I am a speedster and I run this truck hard and I feel it has more power than my 2003 MDX 240HP V6
I have asked the same question and sent an email to my local specialist shop and have researched online for a Supercharger and have had no luck.
See my thread.

yeah if youre driving a GTR then by all means, its slow.
its got good pickup for a truck, no pun intended.
i suspect the next generation gx will have a smaller engine and be turbo based like the Nx due out this year

Note that it's really just North America that tends to get the V8 option on these.
I actually think the V8 in the 2014 is great and would love to drop that into the T4R (can only dream).
..and try taking a GTR through MOAB offroad and see how FAST that goes... each auto has its purpose.

Don't get me wrong, I love the thing but it's slow. If no one else was on the highway it would be awesome but that's not the case. For road trips it's going to be a great ride but Toyota is WAAAY behind the game when it comes to engines. They are all underpowered and oversized but this = longevity/reliability so that's a decent trade I guess. Anyway, no sense beating a dead horse. I'm new to the GX scene but this topic doesn't seem to be from my many searches. I just wish TRD would offer a supercharger.
I was looking at the T4R too but the TRD supercharger has been 'coming out next Spring' since 2010 so I spent the extra $$$ to get the V8 and buttery smooth ride. It was a good choice as I need this to tow a boat.
It really needs the LS460's 385 hp tho..

S/C will come out, lol, eventually...especially with the launch of the TRD T4R Pro model and the huge fan base from the end of the line FJ. They have to offer out of the box upgrades besides shifter ***** and re-branded toytec suspension if they really want to retain customers in this segment..
