Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

I like using eco mode off road. Makes the truck easier to control in certain situations.

 

I've heard that, or maybe read where you posted that before. Eco mode, -4, is pretty much mash the pedal, while racing a dude who is using a walker next to you...

 

I've got a pair of Subaru/Kicker Tweeters that are brand new in the box and never used. I'm going a different direction and have no use for them... Anyone need them? They are typically $100... I'll sell these for $85. Holler at me!

 

Prob where I posted that before

 

I had @DownhillDragon tune my 2020 TRD OR today. As soon as we rolled out of his neighborhood I noticed the difference. Driving from Phlugerville to Georgetown on 35-N it was so nice to have the adaptive cruise set to 72mph and hold 6th gear almost the entire distance, even going up-grade. Wow what a difference, worth every penny. I'm really looking forward to how it pulls the travel trailer. FWIW I'm running 33" tires and 4.88 gears.

 

Fukkin Awesome!

 

Glad you're stoked! Yeah let me know how it does on the towing side. We'll definitely be able to tweak it for even better towing soon, but that tune should be a huge improvement from stock. I'm honestly blown away you got 17mpgs with those gears... way better than I expected.

 

What can we do to get an ATX TW event going and talk @Texoma and @DownhillDragon into showing up and flexing their skillz? I'll be the first to contribute a cooler of beer.

 

beer? you don't have to tell ME twice

 

Throw in tacos and I'm sold

 

I’ve still got some tacos from Monday.

 

I'm down like a mo

 

OK @Texoma and @jmdaniel , your PC Commander talk has me wondering. Given your feet, do you actually see any MPG gains when you aren't abusing the feel? I read where it is "disabled" under cruise, which I use a lot. So, do you see any gains at all with the non-cruise driving? Inquiring minds want to know?

 

Been there done that.. traded the 16 TRD OR for a 17 Raptor then traded that in for a 19 F250.. maybe soon to be replaced with a 21 F450 if they update the interior to the new F150 style

 

Fuggit, bring em

 

No gain or loss in mpg. All it is, is a resistor that changes the frequency of the pedal position. So instead of normal 0% to 100% pedal, sport+ is more like 25% to 100% and eco is like 0% to 30%

 

Let's define "beer"...

 

I drive a Tundra with a 6" lift and 33" tires, going to 35" on my next set. In other words, I don't care about mpg. Frankly, the difference between 15mpg and 20mpg, given the miles I drive, and the < $2/gallon that gas costs these days, adds up to peanuts, at least to me. I also rarely use cruise; that's just me, rarely use it on my Goldwing, either. I love my Power Commander because it reduces/eliminates the ridiculous lag that Toyota builds into the drive by wire setup.

 

Mornin yall. Posting this in here for anybody interested.

 

Good Morning and thanks guys. That's what I wanted to know. I appreciate you!
