Colorado B.S. Thread

anyone actually see a difference in MPGs or performance using a pedal commander?

 

A softer foot does the same thing. Also, if you don’t have an UltraGauge or other OBDII device that shows torque converter lock, I recommend getting one of those instead and learn the optimal speed, RPMs, and manually selected gear to keep the torque converter locked for optimal MPGs.

 

good info, ive got a pretty mellow foot i just keep getting ads for it haha

 

The pedal commander just changes the accelerator input so that in "SPORT" or whatever mode it just makes it seem like you stomped on the gas quicker.
When it's in "economy" it behaves the same as you only going to like 70% and slowing down the input. Basically the same as my dad drives.

 

Saw one of these on I-70 Fri morning.. Must of been the proto type, this was the truck it was on. Seemed pretty simple, looked them and holy moly I was not expecting 58k...

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed this would have been that expensive.

Similar experience as the following. I knew it'd be expensive when I saw one on 120th @ 25, but I didn't think it would be as expensive as it is when I looked it up that evening

 

Yeah, they are REAL pricey. I toured one this summer at a show and was flabbergasted at the cost. I do believe they are doing almost the entire thing though right here in CO, so I am sure that comes with some much higher production costs, but definitely not in the budgie for most that want a truck camper.

 

Earth Romer is Local, I met the owners (and got a tour) through someone when their shop was between Superior and Broomfield. But that was like early 2000's.

 

waste of $ imo - but I have read on the Forum that others use them - same thread has also reported they have electrical issues after install. No evidence of it here and as said I am not a fan of them or other equal piggy-back devices. If your truck is an AT I'd recommend getting a Tune. If you want better mpg an easy way is to firm up the tires and run psi on the high side - but that will obviously result in a rougher ride.

 

I saw 2 EarthRoamers too, one in Glenwood and one in Delta, both spotless haha. They're massive. Not many areas to take them in Colorado or anywhere really in my opinion

They're out of Golden I saw.. Looking at the design and simplicity it seemed like cost wouldn't be insanely expensive like that.

 

Doesn't Dylan work for EarthRoamer? Can't remember what is TW name is here lol. Dude with a turbo'd 3rd gen runner.

 

Something like Dylan Broke it? I tried unsuccessfully to find him

Insain Fab guy also went over there but thing he has moved on since that.

It's cold as fawk

 

Accurate, my heater has a finicky switch and wasn't running so it was 55 deg in my house when I got home

New tires on the Tundra.
1st impressions, will never buy another Cooper tire again. Truck completely stopped pulling to the right, actually drives straight, with little or no driver input.
Totally silent, compared to the drone it had before.
Actually bought adult tires, less aggressive but just fine for where that truck goes.
