My 94 2WD 4Runner has the weakest V6 engine I have ever had in any SUV I have ever owned. Gets terrible gas mileage, about 17 HWY, 13 or 14 around town. It has a factory replacement engine with 45000 miles. The engine was a free replacement because of the recall on these engines from 90 to 97 models. It started with a head gasket recall but that was not working so Toyota went to full long block replacement. I got lucky. Mine blew up in the middle of nowhere with 215k on the original engine. They came and got it, put a new engine in it and charged me 600 bucks for incidentals. That was 4 years ago. I don't think any of the "BIG THREE" would stand behind a vehicle like that. That being said, what can be done to get alittle more power out of this thing??
You best bet would be a gear ratio change, other than that I would not add any additional stress to a known Lemon Engine. Best of Luck.
