    Hello all. I’m obviously new. Bought my daughter a 2017 SR5 V6 recently. First impression is it’s a nice overall truck, but gutless power with a totally lost transmission. I think it converts fuel into noise. Certainly sounds like one of the tuning softwares in here will help a great deal. I do think the ride and handling is fantastic for a truck. I’m a prior owner of a 4runner 4x4 V8 with XREAS (Sport). Perhaps one of my greatest regrets in life is letting that go - put 175K on on it - was still as great as the day I took it from the showroom floor.

    I’d ask about OVtune, but it seems there’s more than enough posts in here to cover what I need.

    One question - the truck has 130K and the maintenance records look great as far as oil, but I can’t seem to nail down what else should be done and the owners manual will not download for me. I’m thinking radiator flush, diff fluid, transmission. Already replaced plugs. Anything else?
