While I can say there are no major updates planned for the 3G 3.5L N/A calibrations we do have something VERY big on the horizon for this platform

Good question. Simple and honest questions, sometimes don't have a simple answer.. I'll speak to OTT's development as I have zero knowledge or background in how others derived their offerings in hopes to clear up any misconceptions.

OTT's beginnings were the work of John Gobbles (@Boltripper) who owns Overland Tailor Tuning, and initially came to be as a means to get a 3G Tacoma calibration built to improve the 2GR-FKS's low-end torque output as well as improve other areas of the calibration John felt were missing from the calibrations on the market at the time.

The initial versions were, in essence, private releases only available to select individuals. The initial takes at a tune took some trial and error to achieve what we were after, taking user feedback, analyzing the data, and using this information in quantitative and qualitative form to drive the development of early versions. The strategy was always to address one issue/area of improvement at a time, not try to reinvent the calibration with each release. So for OTT, it stood to reason there were going to be a few revisions to get this thing to do what we wanted it to do.

Keeping things (intentionally) short, the tunes available to the public in mass from OTT have been limited to essentially 4 versions. Versions 1-5 as mentioned above were functionally private releases not available to the masses. Version 6 is when we started to make some headway with a product that was market ready. Version 7/8 had major updates to the TCU tuning among other tweaks. Version 9 was a fairly large revision to the engine calibration based on our extensive dyno testing.

So...sounds like I should wait until some vendor figures out what is "best" for this 3.5L 3rd Gen that has been out since 2016. When is the "VERY big" platform improvement expected to be available?

We're at the mercy of other agencies on this one.

Obvious answer is obvious, but will we get the news before the holiday's this year? Just hoping it's something I can look forward to lmao!

It only takes around 15-20min to get a tune. No reason to wait. Any updates are either free, or very reasonable. It's win-win.

I recommend you move your question to the Performance and Tune section in case this thread gets deleted. Tune discussion on the open forum is frown upon. Although no issue with me.
