You just recently bought this thing, right?
You have no other experience with it to base this concern on?

If it's your first toyota, maybe you just expect too much power from it.
Is it a V6 or the 4? Regearing will help you, headers will help you, but I doubt you have a tranny issue unless there are any symptoms at all pointing to the tranny having issues.

On the plus side, I doubt it is the transmission! Auto? Manual? Converted? Little flashing dash light? Any other weird issues? Engine? Engine condition? What is it "slow" compared to? How steep is a "hill"?

Toyota's last forever because they don't make enough power to break themselves...
