Thorton Chip Tuning/Upgrade vs OTT Tune…..thoughts

Thoughts please……
Including, value for money……..$200 for the Chip, vs $600 for the OTT Tune…
Thanx in advance

 

Thorton?

Any more info?

 

Thornton’s website somehow claims they add more mpg with each extra power stage

seems like bullshit and just faking it by being a pedal commander

edit: it’s even worse than a pc: https://www.performancechipguide.co...i-cat-performance-chip-tuner-review-teardown/

 

$600 bucks for a tune?

 

Dang, someone should tell Toyota about this! For $200 the truck gets better MPG. This could make them billions. How has no one ever heard of the Thompson chip?! Money back guarantee. I’m listening!

 

It was $450 for my OTT Tune on my 2021 (3rd gen)……..but it’s been advertised on TW that a OTT Tune for a 4th gen $600/$650.

 

Well, maybe the OTT Tune guy who frequents TW can explain pricing……

 

Maybe...

I have a 3rd Gen...no plans for a 4th Gen.

 

I didn’t have a plan for a 4th gen either……..really happy with my 2021 TRD Sport with my OTT Tune……..”life” had a different plan…….hurricane Beryl totaled it July 2024 (along with my home and wife’s Lexus).

 

I'm sorry to hear that.

Reason I say what I say...the 4th Gen is fine the way it is.

I drove a 2024 Limited as a Loaner and simply enjoyed it As-is.

 

I agree…….4 cyl turbo is a plus, same with 8 Spd tranny, and the rear suspension upgrade fantastic BUT I miss things I had in my 3rd gen……..electric seat………
SHOULD have been Standard equipment……not $4500 upgrade to get Premium package

 

Hmmmm, profile says you have a 2nd gen...

 

Wouldn’t even occur to me to read a posters profile……..I guess that’s your thing………I just read postings…….

just haven’t updated profile……..like the pic of my 2010………..got it to 255K……sold it to first guy that saw it…….he had it stolen 3 months later…..

 

Don't care what you use for a pic, the other helps people responding to you. Maybe you want people to give you advise on a 2nd gen...nothing wrong with that I guess. Whatever works for you.


edit: It's not just me, it's a forum thing. How are people supposed to get info? Read your mind? Sorry I tried to help.

 

I saw your profile but disregarded current info...since you had a testimonial...and we were talking back-n-forth.

Sometimes people interject without knowing.

@OldSchlPunk I sympathize with ya, a lot of people on this forum really struggle to understand how forums work.

 

Silly me,
I thought the TOPIC OF THE POST, or THE QUESTION POSTED is what the focus is, NOT who or what a posters profile says…….(most info is “optional”)
Been on the forum since 2020.
pS…….to avoid any confusion…..deleted “2010 Silver Tacoma TRD Sport”

 

It's usually what is expected...to stay on target...do not derail...that sort of thing.

The focus should be the Topic in the thread.

Been on Forums since 2011...started with a motorcycle one at that...AND it has taken lots of experience to see the ebbs and flow of a Forum Platform.

 

He referenced specific gens. Pretty easy to comprehend.
