    My taco is only a few months old. Based on the messages today I started messing with the ECT button. It's unbelievable how different it drives.

    Why is it there? Does it really help gas milage?

    Now I have to get these. The tiny 2020 nobs are just not right. I have to stop reading the posts or else I'll find some other things I "need".

    Ghost Taco would be a good name for a food.

    I hope they/he come out with the roof molle panels again. I've been holding out for it ever since I saw them.

    Do they work on the 2020 knobs as well? If so, that is tempting... do you have a link?

    edit: nm I saw the link by following the chain back... I'm SMRT!

    So they sell caps for trucks with the tech package where there are sensors in the back. I got the ones without sensors. If you have one you'll get one that has holes for the sensors.

    I know of them. But when I saw the video of installation, it didn't seem as well-put-together as Meso's.

    Particularly the part where you have to bend the side-folds to fit it to the truck. As far as I know, Meso's is fabbed to the shape needed straight out of the box.

    I ordered my knobs from @Tacovinyl back in April. He custom did them in the blazing blue pearl. Hell of a job on them!

    It really just increases your shift points. As a simple example, if you press on accelerator slightly pulling out of your driveway and it shifts to second at about 9mph, then shifts to 3rd at 18mph -- ect might say to shift at 11mph, then 24 mph.

    These trucks are pretty passive so the ect is just giving you access to SOME of the potential. Having tuned my truck now, you can get into even more of that!

    im always driving on the road, mainly freeway except my worksite. It has nothing but dirt and half ass gravel that’s completely broken down. Then I took a pic what it looks like without and I’m never putting it again.
