    Has someone told you that you should change the Pedal Commander settings while stopped? It may not work while driving, or check engine light. Sometimes it will work while driving but changing settings constantly while moving will throw it off. I have one in my 14' F150 Ecoboost, CAI/dual exhaust, no more turbo lag. Love it!!! Just bought a 15' Camaro 1LT/RS/one owner/43kmi), naturally the first thing I did was order one for it also. Note to the veterans, they have an AWESOME discount for service members, call them and they will help you out.

    I went to the stealership the other day to get my blower motor replaced, 3rd brake light replaced and the TSB 0062-18 for the transmission gear hunting problem. They said I would have to pay $140 for diagnostics and if they could replicate the problem then they would reflash the computer, if they couldn’t then I’d have to pay the fee. I told them usually only happens when driving high speeds in mountains, higher elevation, or on curvy roads. There’s none of that near the stealer as they just did a quick 2 mile drive on the fwy. So they found nothing and said there’s nothing they could do as it’s a new state BAR issue to Toyota. Really pisses me off, oh and it’s Crown Toyota owner by John Elway.

    Does anyone else think it’s bonkers that you buy these $35,000-$45,000 Tacoma’s and have to install items like the pedal commander in them? My cement 2018 TRD Off-road is like a hot chick..It’s just so good looking that I can’t get rid of it but it really has nothing great to offer the relationship. I have to turn the AC off just to pull my 2950lbs boat out of the water on a pretty gradual ramp. I understand the EPA’s influence and the industry focusing on fuel economy but I don’t have performance or good fuel economy so I should’ve really thought the purchase out more before I pulled the trigger. Anyone reading this make sure this is the truck you really want.

      +Jabamby Brew I just got my 2019 TRD Pro and I honestly don't think the truck is slow at all. The transmission definitely sucks and the motor has 0 bottom end but I think it just takes a little getting used to driving a certain way to keep the tranny in right gear. As soon as I installed the K&N intake it realllllly woke it up but made this obnoxiously loud sound in the ladder half of the RPM range. I am going to try this pedal commander thing and see if what it does. I assume it's going to just down shift sooner with less pedal input which is meh to me but we'll see. Going to install it now.

They give a thorough description of exactly what you are feeling with your truck and a solution to the problem. I own a 20 trd pro. Getting on the freeway I had to really get on it, the truck was constantly up shifting and down shifting. I almost never went into 6th gear either. The first mod I did to the truck was gears and saw a tremendous difference.

Not sure if Toyota is waiting to solve all of the Tacoma problems before they refresh the 4Runner or not. If they put the same 3.5 liter engine in the 4Runner you will get a lot of boos when it comes out. The current 4.0 liter is adequate with no mods, with mods it becomes inadequate.

      Alvah Thompson I love the looks of the truck I just wish they would straighten the issue out with the transmission, if your on a hilly road it will constantly be shifting 5,4,5,6,5,4,5,6. My wife has a 4 runner and her vehicle doesn’t shift like that. The truck has LOTS of power if you mash the excelerator down it has all the power you want but if your just cruising it feels under powered but its not under powered because as I was saying it has plenty of power when you get on it. Ive always said they don’t have something right with the transmission and motor combination. A lot of times I keep the truck in 5th. You will not find a sharper looking truck.

      Since it is only on the input circuit for the accelerator pedal, it should have no effect whatsoever on the acceleration rate in cruise control. On my 2019 Subaru CrossTrek the adaptive cruise control works just the way it did before plugging in the unit. The ECU is controlling the cruise control acceleration and deceleration ramps separate from the throttle input signal.

      The pedal commander gives the truck more pep and when you start to push the excelerator pedal it response quicker. I like driving the truck with the pedal commander better. Is it a cure no way but it helps. Something isn’t right about the truck and transmission set up. Sometimes I will set the gear shift so it will not go to 6th because I get tired of the shifting back and fourth.
      I would like to try the sprint booster but $800 verses $400 for pedal commander caused me to go with pedal commander. Hope this helps the truck responds better but it’s not a fix at highway speeds.

    13.7mpg????? On the highway?????? You could drive a full size truck for that, and still get way better fuel mileage. And with a $50,000 price tag you could have literally picked nearly any truck on the market and had more room, mileage, power, and comfort than the Toyota. To each his own I guess. We just got my son a 2020 TRD off road 6spd manual with a lift, tonou cover, and wheels and tires from the dealer for $38k out the door. He is averaging 19.5mpg with 32” tires on 20x9 wheels.
    If he had of wanted a TRD PRO, I would have gotten him a full sized for the same money.
    BUT for $38k you can’t buy a new full sized.
    He is wanting a Pedal Commander for it now, and after some research I have found out that the Pedal Commander is a knock-off version of the Sprint Booster.
    PC is made in Turkey, and SB is made in USA. SB had this technology 10 years ago. Heard several issues with the PC just like your having. Seems like they have to have a lot of updates with their software.
