    So glad to see the support growing.
    I'm happy to see Utah has some love as well. I need to meet up with Tony one of these days.

    Loving my pro XT sport file!

    Here's an email sent to me from a 2022 Tacoma OR customer I tuned this past weekend...

    "Hey, wanted to thank you again for coming out. Drove the truck to VA this week and WOW, what a difference. I will be promoting you on social media for the Toyota owners in the area."

    Sean @ZippyBasher came in this morning with his 2 week old 2022 OR. Same story here. Sean just wasn't happy with Shifting, Power, Torque and Throttle response.
    After the test drive he was really surprised how much better his truck was performing. It was good meeting you Sean let us know how your enjoying the Pro+XT. :thumbsup:

    Really liking this KDMax-Pro+XT Sport throttle; upgrade from prior KDMax for my '17 OR MT.
    Just turned over 100k and it's still driving sporty even with all the weight (ie. farkles) added.
    Fortunate to have semi-regular access to 91 non-eth.
    Mileage is ~16mpg, there's a few hills here in UT and with this tune being so zippy and responsive it's hard to be conservative with the throttle.

    I'm from Cincinnati and I went to Wyoming last month to do the BDR and was able to run some of that 91 non-ethanol. I could tell mine ran better on it too. I sure wish I could get it around here I'd run it all the time!

    Max came in this morning with his 2017 Pro. He had been wanting to get his truck tuned with KDMAX-Pro+XT for a while. He hated the way the truck shifted and accelerated. Flashed him to the Pro+XT with Normal throttle. After his test drive he was very happy with the throttle response and the shifting was buttery smooth. He was also surprised at how smooth the truck idles now. He had to look down at his gauges when he stopped at a red light the idle was so smooth he thought it had stalled. He called when he returned home to tell me he loves the power and torque and the shifting is incredible! He was getting about 18 MPG's prior to the tune his trip home with Pro+XT he was getting 22 MPG's. He was extremely happy to see that bonus bump in MPG's. It was good talking with you this morning Max. I am glad to hear your really enjoying the benefits of the Pro+XT tune. That's what it's all about! :thumbsup:
    :cheers:

    Eric was looking to improve the stock shifting and laggy throttle in his 2017 Blazing Blue TRD Sport. Though he had to endure 40k miles stock he is now tuned and could not be happier with the outcome.

    A nice looking truck deserves a proper running setup to match! Thanks for coming out Eric and getting our latest and greatest KDMAX Pro+XT tune!

    For anyone looking, consider your local KDMAX Pro or our Remote Tuning options to get you setup today!

    I am continually amazed by the growth of the KDMAX Pro tuned truck owners and the group resources that support them! Just this thread alone has almost 7,000 replies and over 625,00 views and that's only on TacomaWorld!

    If you ever wanted to know what trusted reliability looks like for a long-term tuning option here's your facts!
    KDMAX Pro, the best that keeps getting better!

    I don't know how many Toyotas are on KD Max tunes, but I see a lot of vehicles every day that I know are missing out on a big improvement on the driving experience of their trucks. I tell everybody that I can how much happier they would be with a KD Max tune. I feel really good knowing that my truck accelerates and shifts better than theirs.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Returned on Sat from a 1750 mi trip. Got an overall 15.7 MPG, pulling a trailer w/2 bikes (total weight approx 1200 lbs), 60-72 mph speeds, flat to mountain driving, 2 lane to interstates. Same bikes/trailer got about 14.5 MPG down to TX last year without the tune. Very, very happy with the results. My truck ran 5th and 6th gear most of the time, whereas before I was often in 4th and rarely in 6th. Many times, if it downshifted to 4th, it upshifted back to 5th before cresting the hill.

    I wish I had known about this tune earlier...

    Little update. Was on the original 87
    Tune and now currently running the new pro with some custom shift points. This has been the best tune to date as a daily driver for me. Currently getting 16-18 mpg which has been the Norm In everyday commuting back and forth to work. (30 miles round trip). This is lifted with 285s and I can not speak more highly of @PapaRee for All the replies and tweaking on the tune. Been running this tune for right at 7-8k miles now. Awesome tune and customer
    Service.
