    You get the option to try both and decide what you like. You might find reg is too “touchy” and you like LT better. I tried them all and settled on SLT. I’m sure your tuner will recommend trying before buying.

    I am pretty much stock with a 2WD Sport. Other than a TRD intake installed and Exhaust to come that will pretty much be it. I may get a little more aggressive tires but will not increase the size.

    Try both, but it sounds like you would lean more towards LT or even SLT.

    I have a 2WD DCSB and chose the LT option. It's still more sensitive than the stock pedal response but smooth and not jumpy. If you want a close to stock feeling without having to worry about throttle pressure, I'd go with LT. The biggest difference is the shifting points - no more hunting for gears - it's amazing!!!

    Depending on your driving habits LT would be a good starting point.Take it for a test drive see if it feels right for you.You can go up or down with or stay on LT if it feels right for your driving habits.

    Long press the cruise button turns off the radar cruise, the tune does not affect radar cruise, the enhancements are only present w/o radar cruise.

    Have the regular loaded first and run it around the block to see if you like it. If it's too touchy you can always bump it down to LT.

    I started out with SLT and thought it was great until I tried the LT. I would never go back to SLT now and may even bump it up to regular if this LT settles too much over the next few hundred miles.

    <I am basically stock>

    More Power!! lol

    My tuner said the ECT button puts the LT to regular or most aggressive throttle? I tried it and it certainly feels more aggressive than the LT I have when ECT is off……….

    That would be fantastic and solve my problem. LT most of the time and when I want to horse around I hit the ECT button.

    Can @PapaRee and @TWTaco confirm that this is the case?

    Yes. When you push ECT it will be a more aggressive throttle and hold gears a little longer.

    My opinion Regular was perfect for me.. I can control my pedal responsiveness just fine on & off-road.. plus I get my zippy take offs at the red lights.. feels normal to me.. other than the 33” shoes I’m wearing, I’m pretty much stock.. plus this as an added bonus.. my commute into work this morning

    If you have the regular aggressive throttle, what happens when the ECT button is pressed? Does it then have an even more more aggressive throttle and hold gears a little longer?

    Yes. Only a little more throttle at mid throttle and above. The tip in from a stop is not higher.
    The other difference with ECT is that the truck will hold gears longer for towing.

    What setting do you guys recommend for driving mountain roads also towing. I have a popup trailer. I will also be putting 33s on. I just don't want it to be to jumpy at low speeds.
