Lock Off-Road Baja Series on TRD Pro Tacoma

Dyno-Proven Gains from Our SXTH Intercooler

Hey everyone, We just finished dyno testing our new front mount intercooler for the 2024+ Tacoma, and wanted to share some real numbers and context with you all. This test was done on a stock truck with only our intercooler installed — no intake, no tune. The goal was to isolate what the intercooler alone can do. We used 4th gear on the 10-speed auto, which meant we had to feather the throttle below 4K RPM to avoid kickdown, so the low-end numbers are a bit skewed. But above 4K, the results were extremely consistent and repeatable. Here’s what we saw comparing OE vs SXTH intercooler: Peak power jumped from 248.6 hp to 264.1 hp (+15.5 hp) Peak torque increased from 288.6 lb-ft to 303 lb-ft (+14.4 lb-ft) Midrange output was noticeably stronger across every run Even in worst-case comparisons, our core outperformed factory We’re seeing lower intake temps across the board thanks to: A bar and plate core with 45% more volume Lower pressure drop (1.5 psi vs 2.4 psi stock) Up to 50°F lower temps at the turbo outlet and 12°F lower post-intercooler It’s a direct bolt-on, retains all OEM sensors and components (including grille shutters), and doesn’t require a tune. It’s also compatible with the 2025+ 4Runner and 2024+ Land Cruiser LC250.

I test-fit Lock Off Roads Baja Series wheels onto my TRD Pro Tacoma the other day. The machine polish really does POP with the all black paint! Holy smokes! I didn't fully install them though because I had to order some hub adapters from Amazon to go from the hub bore that these wheels are (they are made for 3rd Gen Tacoma) to the new 95.1 hub bore of the 4th Gen. Also, when I fully install them, I am going to have to pop the axel dust cap off the front as well. Can't wait to show you all the finished product!
