    I read it it’s a 2015.. I’m not crazy I’ve read many people say the same thing. Throttle by wire just isn’t the same as a cable

    Aimed the retrofits....25ft away at 39" off the ground to compensate for my 3" lift

    Is what I'm looking at correct? Should I bring them in closer horizontally?

    I used to have a PC on my truck, I removed it when I changed the rear axle gear ratio. When the truck was unloaded/empty the gear swap (from 3.73 to 5.29 with 37's) was slightly better than the PC with the stock 3.73 gears. The driveability was a lot better with the PC than without it. After the gear swap the PC was unusable as the truck was just too "jumpy" for lack of better words. When towing the gear swap was much better than the PC/3.73 combo.

    PC $300
    Gear swap $920

    I agree that throttle by wire isn't the same as a cable throttle, and a cable throttle isn't the same as a push pull rod like my 67 Camaro had either. I was just trying to help out. In 30,000 miles on my 2010 Tacoma TRD O/R AC and 185,000 miles on my 2013 TRD O/R DC I have never noticed any appreciable 'dead spot' in the beginning of the throttle. Our 2008 RAV4 & 2010 Corolla had a very noticeable 'dead spot' at the beginning of the throttle and both were diagnosed with bad throttle position sensors. They were replaced and all was good.

    My wife and mines Compasses have so much lag that you can put the pedal to the floor and wait.

    She looks ridiculous without the roof racko_O

    But soon I’ll be able to mount my RTT on a lighter and lower profile setup.

    The front runner roof racks are for sale and will be listed on the 2nd Gen Marketplace the next few days if anyone is interested.
