I did the KDMax tune on my 17 Tacoma TRD Pro. Night and Day difference. I opted for the "most sensitive response" style tune. Fixed all the throttle issues and the shifting issues! Zero problems at the dealership for warranty and or work! Will do the newest version when I trade up for my 22 TRD Pro Electric Lime in 4-6 wks when it arrives!

@Wild Warg I go to the dealership for oil changes and tire rotations, etc. and it has never been an issue when they're resetting services. Should the dealership ever need to do a reset or anything major, KD Max will provide a retune! IMO it's practically unnoticeable when at the dealership unless you're dealing with a major electronic issue of some kind! As I mentioned, I'm happily getting my new 22 TRD Pro done immediately without worry. I like the benefits in throttle response, shifting and 1-2 MPG's. I have a full bed shell and tow a 24ft boat regularly. I always set the cruise at 80 mph when traveling and I always get 20 MPG's during my normal driving. I recommend it, but just MO!

I was just curious, how is the cabin noise? I noticed on the tundras underneath the hood there is insulation to keep the noise to a minimum. But the Tacoma does not have that insulation, when you accelerate how loud is it or is it still quiet?

Love the dog feature!!! I have a pedal commander and it doesn’t boost the horsepower but it does fix the throttle response issue. Super easy to install and you can just remove it for service etc.

Nice video man, cool looking truck, and cool looking dogs! I have a 2022 also, not the TRD Pro of course, and I think the transmission is horrible as well.

I have the exact same truck and got the OVTune 4 days into ownership. Couldn't stand the gear hunting. It's much better now but not perfect.

If you have a 5spd go 4.56 If you have a 6spd go 4.88

The one good thing about the 3.5L over the 4.0L is the improved fuel economy which is noticeable. Most Taco owners should be seeing a 4 or even up to 6 mpg difference with the 3.5L taking the win. I drive like a grandpa, all highway with little in the way of hills or turns and no stops 65 miles into town and I maintain 25.5 mpg in my 2023 Taco crew, 4x4. With that said, I agree with you on the reliability but then again this new one right out of the gate is nowhere near a good of quality in nearly every way, as my 3 previous Tacoma's (1995, 2003 and 2012). Quality has really gone down in recent years. So sad. I have inside info as to why the transmission hunts and it has to do with fuel economy. The Toyota engineers set it up that way on purpose and honestly, to mess with it could be asking for problems for a lot of reasons. Lastly, what you were saying about Taco vs 4Runner.... I could have gone 4runner but I felt I got super close to the same thing in my Taco as I would have in a 4Runner but for a good $8-$12k less money. So between the fuel economy savings and the purchase price I went Taco.

Why even modify when you resell your vehicles every 3 months?

I bought a 22 trd off road and it was the first thing I noticed.

Just picked up a 2023 and can confirm, not fixed. 1st tacoma, 1st Toyota, and I noticed the trans issues immediately -on the test drive actually. Just told myself it was my imagination, but now day 3, I know it’s not me. That’s how I found this video. Gotta say, not very happy.

KDmax Pro tune definitely helps but gears are the solution. Just put 4.88 in my 21 OR A/T and no more hunting. I can even use the adaptive cruise without getting annoyed. Power improved on the low end and the truck stays in 6th gear on the highway even on inclines and passing. They are pricey at $2,700 vs $300 for the tune, but if you plan to keep the truck a long time it is a worthy investment. Since you change vehicles often gears may not be a good idea, but it is the ultimate "fix".

I'm with you on the 4.0 and yes the second gen did have it

I only paid 100 when I had my ov tune done. It made my Tacoma drive and feel like it should have felt straight off the lot. There's other tunes that I'm sure are great also.

I CVC tuned my Tacoma and fixed this gear hunting issue. Also gained 1 mpg

Awsome truck, what did it cost you.

just wait until you are back on I70 in Colorado :) . I bought a manual specifically to make that climb in Colorado.

This is why I moved on from my 2021 Taco, that transmission is by far the worst ever. That and the lack of power combine to make it a very love/hate on the highway. I did do the KDmax tune and although it helped with the acceleration it cannot fix the transmission issue I dont care what anyone says!

Just took my 2023 on a long road trip. After spending 5 days with it, I'm ready to give this thing the boot. That transmission is absolutely HORRIBLE.

Truck does look better with the ‘22 lift. As you know I had a Cavalry blue ‘18 and the trans was deal breaker as a daily. I have one M/T car and for daily driving wasn’t feasible. My wife can’t drive stick either. I thought they fixed it in ‘20-‘21 but I guess not I heard that it is for fuel economy.

@@PureBlood777 I guess it’s a your mileage may vary type situation. I also did not know the term until I looked up transmission problems on third Gen tacomas and tacomaworld forums popped up. I live in Texas, way more flat areas than anything else.

uh oh. this thing will be gone in a week.

I HAVE MY 2021 TACOMA AND NO GEAR HUNTING ITS A BEAST

I'm running the KD Max Pro tune and it made a big difference. Did it completely fix the hunting? No, but it is MUCH better than before. Being Canadian it wasn't cheap ($800). Money well spent IMHO, I'm no longer avidly trying to sell my truck. I still wonder if choosing the manual transmission would have been the wiser choice.

You’ll be buying electric cars by the end of this year.

Pointless vid. Just want to show off your truck.
