    @KalebG98 and KDMax-Pro+XT for the win! What a difference this makes! Throttle is much more responsive and the transition through the gears is smooth at highway speeds. The KDMax-Pro+XT tune made driving the Tacoma fun. Thank you, Kaleb, for an incredible service!

    I'm in Houston area as well and definitely interested in this. It looks like I just missed out on a tune here. I will contact @KalebG98 but let me know if there's anything else I should do.

    Ditto and shout out to Kaleb!

    I got the 2.7L tune; the throttle response improvement is night and day.

    I barely have to touch the pedal to maintain highway speeds, especially on the incline side of the overpasses and very linear with the acceleration.

    It feels almost car like.

    Highly recommended and worth every penny!

    I finally got around to tuning my 2019. I reached out to @PapaRee to purchase the KDMAX-PRO+XT tune pack. Extremely quick with communications and even answered a couple questions as I performed the flash with my sole license of VFTuner. I started with the Normal throttle, for a day or two, but actually felt it was too touchy,... and I'm easy on the skinny pedal. Maybe muscle memory due to horrible stock tune? I may revisit in the future. I tuned it to Lite throttle this past weekend and the tunes are as stated - linear and smooth. There are certain instances on my drive cycle it could go into 6th sooner, but I'll get a couple tanks of fuel through to fully assess. Lite is how Toyota should tune it from the factory. The tune makes the vehicle feel lighter. So far, and its hard to gauge MPGs as ambient temps are beginning to decrease and transition to winter blend fuel, but so far same or slightly better. Mine is stock tires and suspension. Well done.

    Your going to get improved throttle response, improved power delivery and improved shifting.

    There’s a review a few posts back from a 2.7l. We did as much as we could with the tools that we have.
    -aggressive/linear throttle
    -smooth/predictable shifting
    -improved performance and DRIVABILITY

    Everyone has extolled the virtues more eloquently than I could so my review is short:

    I've run VF and KDMax tunes in my truck. KDMax is better in the two most important ways; performance and customer communication

    So far, there are no 3rd Gen 2.7L Manual Transmission ECU's supported by Vftuner.
    Sorry!
    As soon as they are supported, we will make the tune.

    This thread shows the supported vehicles on the first post.
