ECT Power button, love it

who else loves this feature, love that boost of power for merging, falling more and more in love with my 2019 tacoma

Hope all of yours new year is going well

 

I am probably going to get the parts for the ECT always on mod soon. I am a believer in ECT on.

 

I swear I got better hwy milage on a recent trip with ect on. Definitely not worse. Anyone else find this?

 

I will have to test this on a trip. Very interesting

 

I tried this for the first time today myself. absolutely night and day difference. these trucks should be like this without having to use ECT. but still, I will always turn mine on now. the truck is just so much more responsive now.

 

In town where the max speed is 45, I use ECT on and put it in S4. Amazing drive experience. As good as my dakota with V8 was, but much better on gas mileage, I am happy with this truck.

 

I ran mine in S4 on the way to work, I drive backroads where the speed limit isn't above 50mph. a huge difference! much more fun to drive! on the way home I just left it in normal drive but still ECT button on, it never shifted out of 4th gear anyway. so very happy now. I will drive with the ECT on from now on. should be much better when we head to the mountains in a couple months.

 

Yes. I tested it pretty extensively over 14 months.

 

Drove mine to Estes Park last weekend and used it up and back. Really good gas mileage and super responsive. Used cruise control when I could, but I do that anyway. Super happy with my ‘19. Much better than my ‘11 Frontier in all aspects. I have already spent too much on mods and will spend a lot more shortly. It’s funny.... the truck is fantastic for me as it is but I just want to do more now. Damn Tacomaworld info, pics, and ideas.

 

So you guys like to use it on all of the time?

 

hahah ECT is a placebo

 

You’re a placebo

 

yes i am

 

lol. boost of power?

 

@OVTune With all the testing you have done how does ECT power button work? What does the test data say?

Thank you

 

The difference is in S mode the learning is disabled that is built into D. S mode and any gear will drive differently than just D.

 

Ment speed my bad

 

For me it wasn’t about speed. It was about not stalling pulling out into traffic or doing a U turn. ECT absolutely helped the truck feel more responsive and less lag or stalls.

 

After awhile Ya realize, it don't do sh....something.
