Is there a low end mod for 3.5?

No.

No.

There are other suggestions made early in the thread that will improve driveability in the conditions you complain about. But they don't address the engine's output, as you seem adamant about.

Either use 4L or regear, which all force you to higher RPM anyway, adapt, or buy a different vehicle.

 

Ya I noticed that on my test drive. Really Like to sit on 6th. But gave it a bit of gas and it dropped gear and moved pretty good

 

What got those changes in the dyno numbers? Is that actually a tune on a Tacoma?

 

I vote V8.

 

Great point ! I would bet the math could be worked out to find out what size smaller tires would correspond to 4:88 gears or what ever you are wanting. Borrow 2(?) tires and try them out to see if it feels right . (yes it will look bad ) . then buy those gears. It would be better than choosing the wrong gear and having to regear 2 times .

 

true, u are gonna lose some ground clearance too and also take in to consideration that smaller tires are lighter tires and thus would give an even greater felt effect but it would be a rough idea of how it would be

 

Wow that's so weird, it's like you can tune a Tacoma. Good thing all the salty members were right saying this would never happen...

 

How did you get your truck tuned...???

 

yep thats a guys printout in my town that has a 2016 trd off road.
some guy that's a traveling tuner has hacked the new ecu's on the gen 3 tacoma.

cost about 600 for the tune.
that's everything, tranny shift points, lag, air to fuel an all the other goodies.

shawn_free on this forum did it along with 1 other guy in my town.
ill be next


call them if u need more details:
optimus performance
fort myers, florida
+1 (239) 267-5001

 

that's a pretty quick hack since they haven't hacked 09+ ecu's

 

i heard a rumor they they payed him initially 10k to hack it plus whatever for every tune after.

not sure if that's true

 

Too good to be true ?

 

A "traveling tuner" who tunes encrypted ECUs? Sounds totally legit.

 

I think today is actually filet-o-fish friday

 

I think you are right... just note... the "fish" is actually "marine meat"...!! Like their beef burger is "lips/tongues/ears/assholes"...

 

when u say it like that then yeah it sounds like bs lol

seriously tho i'm not trolling,
a lot of tuners do travel.
a ton actually.
he's in florida just not our town.

there is to much proof for this to be fake.
multiple trucks tuned and i'm giving u the shop information.

 

when youre driving around on trails or sand and arent using 4 low its hard to stay at 3k rpms manuevering around logs and stuff. i hit the trails for the first time few days ago... god if i didnt use 4 low, id burn the hell out of my clutch to get uphill in the sand in 4 high even. forget 2wd. granted i love the power of the truck in the band, but the low end is really weak, i think a simple remap and doing away with the atkinson cycle would do wonders for the low end, but that mpg would take a hit...

 

"IF" this is true they will have people lined up for days to get this done.....I am doubtful but have been wrong before..

 

@shawn_free got tuned by the same shop on his 3rd gen and he loves it

 

That would be your best move...Trade it.. it's just a truck...
