then consider fitting a 'DP chip' remembering that to get the full benifit of the 'chip' you should upgrade the exhaust.so doing the exhaust first then testing the result.

If you still want more performance from the vehicle. Toyota build a wonderful vehicle & engine, but somehow fall short when it comes to designing an exhaust system. Once you have done this, hook the TE upto the 'tug' look for a few hills & feel the improvement in the torque. For both the petrol & diesel normally asperated engines I would suggest fitting a quality set of headers/extractors connected to a 2.5 inch free flowing pipe system with a 'sports'/freeflowing muffler, if you have a diesel turbo fit a 2.5 inch pipe system upto the engine pipe with 'sports'/freeflowing muffler. You dont say if your cruiser is petrol, diesel, normally asperated or turbo. around $1400 fitted, you will get slightly better economy & more power (torque) but to get the maximum gain you will have to upgrade the exhaust. ( FWIW, the newer 200's including mine go into 6th at 90 and lock up at 95 even towing my tvan on slight hills.DP chips do work. He was trying to sell me a $1200 fix to a problem I didn't have.

He must have read that on forums because he certainly had no idea how it really worked.

I remember talking to an ECU guy who swore black and blue that the auto would never go into 6th till 110 kmph, and need coxing with a stock tune. Some Chips and Flash may be good, but a lot are just $1000 of trouble installed by monkies who have zero idea what is happening in your engine. Response: Remove it and see if keeps happening. Response: Have you got a chip or ECU flash? OP: I have 200 diesel that keeps coming up with the engine check lights and keeps dropping codes. I don't know about the 70, but as a guess 90% of people on LCOOL who have check light and engine issues also have a chip or flash. Generally a minor slip up, but pretty fundamental if you are lecturing about engine maths and calculations specific to power delivery and efficiency. That video is a classic example of Bullshit Baffles Brains! He can't even get Kw vs NM right on his chart.
