Just came on too. I know 😫

Great job on the video Jon! Thanks for making it. I had a Pedal Commander for a couple weeks, and I returned it simply because I needed the cash at that time for another project. I still say that modifying the throttle response is the single best performance mod you can do for the money. People confuse "performance" with "horsepower" all the time. Sure, this thing doesn't give you more horsepower, and some make the argument that throttle response modifiers don't do anything that mashing the pedal down harder can't do, but by making it more responsive, they reduce the amount of work it is to interact with your car. It removes an obstacle between the driver and the experience. That's performance.

Perfectly said!!

I just installed mine today & man this thing is legit. I installed this in an Acura TLX Type S which I might be the first to have done this on this particular car & man it's been a blast especially in race mode paired with sport plus, & it's made my high flow cats & sport exhaust sound even louder. So if you're on the fence about this don't hesitate go get it, oh and by the way the installation is easy

Bought one of these for my 16 T4R after I saw your video; what a difference! I love it; wish I had it since I bought the truck new. Just so much more fun to drive. Seems like 35% Sport is my sweet spot, and seems like that setting keeps it from downshifting too much. Thanks so much for the video.

These do great for 4Runner at fixing the throttle response, BUT you can do SO much better! I started with a Sprint Booster, then got a Yotawerx tune. The tune actually gives you increased power and torque PLUS the pedal response. To boot, fixes the constant hunting of the transmission highway driving. Way better solution.

Agreed!

might be redundant but two questions, have you had any issues with this throwing codes, or going into limp mode? if so how often and what is the fix. 2nd questions, does the model linked in your video work for the 2022 4runner as well? doesn't explicitly say it on the website.

I want this for my 21 Acura TLX Type S. I returned my Pedal Commander before I even installed it because of problems so many people have had with car being thrown into limp mode

Any tips on removing that plug from the throttle pedal? It seems impossible to get haha

I had a pedal commander but after a month it made the 4runner pedal really twitchy and sensitive. Even with diff settings they always seemed to have an issue. I didn’t like it after that. At first I loved it enough to leave a good review as everyone else did. Then removed it as every one else did lol.

The ShiftPower

So considering each of the 4 settings on the Pedal Commander has 9 ‘levels’ (- 1-4, standard setting, and + 1-4), it’s basically the PC, with a lockout. Which IS a cool feature.

This one also has the option of three different throttle response curves. I previously tried a Sprint Booster and liked the ability to disconnect the remote while it stored the last setting, but it didn’t have a phone app to adjust without the remote. For the Shift Power I haven’t seen any any instructions suggest it can be installed without the wired remote, but I installed mine without connecting the remote, and it works great by just adjusting through the app. I believe that’s another thing the PC doesn’t give the option of. Who likes a bulky remote one display?

So. How does this compare to a tune? Is this compatible with the Atrac system?

With reported issues with pedal commander and 4Runners, It will be interesting to see if the same issues occur with this.
