    Hi all! I’m pretty new to this site so rather than try to sort through a multitude of forums on here I’ll just ask the question to get some much needed feedback: Which would be the better choice with regards to getting either a tune or the pedal commander….or maybe even have both of them together?? Please share your thoughts! I’ve vaguely heard of OTT tune and OVTune for 3rd gen Tacomas but know nothing about them. Some people say banks pedal monster is better than pedal commander… My stock Tacoma definitely has throttle lag and eventually I’d like to start towing more with it so I’d like to know what my best options would be aside from changing out gears. TIA!

    Pedal Commander is garbage. Banks pedal monster is a much better option. A tune, actual tune will be best

    @TRD_Sporter17 - welcome to the forum!
    While a plug-in device can help alter the throttle signal, that's all they do. Go right to the source of the problems with an much improved flash tune calibration to get the OEM quirks resolved with a responsive and linear throttle, and custom adjustments for your unique setup/build over time (gearing/tires/force induction - zoom zoom). Consider proven solutions build on OVTune's VFTuner platform consider YotaWerx for your 3rd gen Tacoma.....makes all the difference. No matter what flash tune option you chose, they are all based off VFTuner. See my reviews for recent customer feedback after they've had the tune for a while. It's a great resource for insight on what you are getting into!

    For help with a local resource see the resources nearest you and contact them: https://bit.ly/yotawerxresources
    Not finding a resource or want some personal help? Give me a call/msg/email and I'll be happy to talk about what a proper calibration provides, what it entails, and how you can even have in applied right in your own driveway on a flexible schedule if needed.
