The tune was amazing in throttle response and it sure really improved the gear hunting. 1 week after the tune my truck went I to the dealership for the factory oil change, etc and they never mentioned anything about it. I absolutely recommend if your thinking about the tune, don't hesitate

Now I can program it for the tire size change, for premium fuel, and if I change my gears, I have a tune for that from OrangeVirus and can do it myself. And yes, I agree with all of Chloe's results, and the biggest improvement (for me) was the gear hunting. I LOVE it.

    I’ve tried multiple tunes (manual transmission) and ultimately decided I prefer stock. I do firmly believe a regear is a great choice even on stock tires. I would personally like to see this channel regear to 5.29s and share the results. It would drive great on 265/70R17s with the auto. I did 5.29s on the manual with both stock size and 255/75R17s and it’s been great. Revs high, performs well.

    Thanks chloe for your time and your down to earth authentic experience , your video and others i found sold me on it so i Just got my 23 tacoma trd 7 k miles done today with OTT hear in alabama . Everything you mention is exactly what my results where withcthe medium spicy with spicy being ECT engaged . I feel ya on the being a little paranoid about costly changes to our gems but thats life for ya , i cant trust my toyota dealer service since i know they lied to me the other day to get my 10k service done at 7k while i had rear axle recall looked at and adking to look into whinning sound coming from possibly rear or trans when letting off acceleration at road speeds . And general driving . After 2 days i eas told its aggressive tires and normal sounds when i know the difference and its obvious its not the tires , so i consider that being bummed off push me out the door , since they rold me that today before went to get tune if i cant trust that response i checked my oil dip stick and my heart sank when i seen easy visually sized metal shavings on the stick from tip to oil level , wiped on paper towel and put back in pull out and even more . I dipped it in on a cold engine atleastc10 times and everytime had shavings of different sizes . I was so over whelmed i started to shed a tear . I checked oil before dropped it off it was just oil now they change it and im getting this on my stick makes me have to believe it was done on purpose , how else can it happen no acceptable excuse . Not sure how to approach but wish me luck i ts destroying my engine everytime i crank i know that much so a 48k financed with service techs lying and putting metal in my engine hear we go , its like a twilight zone of a black hole i just feel threw its so unbelievable but true . Im gonna watch more your videis just to cheer me up czuse thats what its doing for me atm . . Peace and taco love .

    I love my OTT upgrade. 4 months now, and still loving it. Got the middle lower power programming setting/option, which makes the truck feel like it should have direct from Toyota. The transmission shifting is WAY better. The only super minor dislike is the jumpiness in parking lots and slow driving - the petal is much more sensitive and more difficult to not look like a jerk pumping the petal to get attention. :)

Its so much more fun to drive. The off the line throttle response, passing capability and hill climbing power are all seriously improved.

    Just got this done at Westcott Design here in Phoenix AZ. I want to punch myself for not doing it earlier. I should have had it done when I put the 5.29 gears in, but the other shop I went to didn't suggest it. The gear change caused the transmission to not shift in time before the fuel cut off happened. This tune fixed this. Cannot tell you how awesome this is. Also, it's like I have a completely different truck. It has great low-end torque now. I have to get used to it, keep spinning my tires. I can totally light them up now, even with larger tires. Ive noticed much better gas mileage too. I have a 3 inch lift with 33's, but not much more. Just some steps, light bars and ditch lights. But I'm getting easy 20 mpgs all around, both highway and city. Simply the best $450 I've ever spent. If you're in Phoenix, go to Westcott. Fantastic experience with those guys. They also fab many items that, to be honest, is going to get me in trouble with my wife 😮😂. My new candy store

    In terms of gear ratios one possible reason to want to change is not just the sort of performance that a tune would help with but also to lower them for more control off road. The Tacoma comes with fairly high gears from the factory and this makes it nice for the road but off road lower gears might help. All the usual caveats about your specific situation still apply.

    Run a tank of premium & see what it does for you. I definitely see a difference from regular to premium. If you run 285 (33s) & up you definitely need to regear. Even a tune will not compensate needing gears. The setup your running is pretty spot on for a everyday driver thats not going to do hard offroading, best all round setup.

    Nice review. I'd be more curious about the more long term effects of any tune. Of course, not enough time has passed for anyone to report. But I will say, when weighing the more likelihood of issues impacting the reliability of a vehicle, electronic alterations I'd suspect more over mechanical alterations, tune versus re gearing. There are historical results searchable with Jeeps and negative long term results. Then again, we're talking Toyota here. Overall, the answers I'm hearing are the same: Does it accelerate better? A: Yes. Does it tow better? A: Yes. Does it still gear hunt? A: YES. And being a 5.29 re gearee, I can confirm these answers.

    You are the bomb, Chloe! Thank you very much for doing a video on this. I bought my ‘23 SR5 2WD back in February after years of wanting one. And honestly, I’ve been full of buyers remorse since, mostly because of the gear hunting. It has annoyed me to the point of nearly being a dealbreaker. I drive in mountainous terrain frequently, and the constant shifting has driven me nuts at times. But this video and a few others like it have given me some renewed hope. I may be making an appointment soon, assuming the installer in Albuquerque is still here. Thanks again, and keep up the great work. Peace and blessings.

    I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE TUNE YET: (2018 Tacoma 4x4 Off-road) I am/was one of those people. Huge skeptic! I was afraid of my warranty being voided. I was also paranoid of the dealership updating my factory tune when taking it in for service and “undoing” what I paid to have done. I recently hit 50k, took it in for its 50k service…the trucks shifting & response is more horrible than ever. I drive it with the ECT activated all the time which I don’t feel like I should have to do. When trying to accelerate I feel like I’m always having to dog my truck out to get it to go! I’m over it….I WILL be getting the OTT soon. I’ve been following this topic for quite some time. Thank you for making this vid, just solidifies my decision to get it done.

    When you get your truck tuned with OTT they will update first to the latest Toyota software. This prevents the Dealership from overwriting the tune by accident. In regards to warranty: the ECU will still report as stock when the Dealership connects their computers.

    I used to be an engine calibrator for an OEM manufacturer. The OEM vs Tuned calibration file might look similar in name (via PN)…but if a dealer really wanted to dig, they would just do a cal compare to the L&G released software for your model year and what’s on your vehicle. If they see variable differences they might ask questions…I’ve never experienced this myself but I’m assuming this would be the process.

    only reason for them to look into it would be if something failed, in which case I would reflash to stock. could probably see the flash in the computer history but I doubt they’d check software if the truck doesn’t look too modified. Now if you blow up a second engine/trans they’re definitely going to look into that lol but these engines are extremely well built. It would take a God awful tune and a moron driver to blow up a tacoma powertrain

    While I can't speak for crawl control (I honestly just don't use it when I'm off-roading), but with this tune specifically, the ECT button actually increases the throttle response even more! So you kind of get an additional setting. I haven't played around with it too much though, so I'd reach out to your local tuner for more specific information, hope this helps!

    Hi Chloe, love watching your informative videos. I'm wondering why you chose the OTT versus getting a throttle enhancer like the ones out there---Banks Pedal Monster Throttle Enhancer, or Bully Dog thruster throttle and others etc? Instrument over cluster? Or it was less OEM for you?

  • @ChloeKuo

    Thanks! I leaned more towards a tune originally due to the face that it addressed the gear hunting issues I experienced, and I wasn't sure if a throttle enhancer would do the same. However, I recently picked up a Pedal Commander and tried that out, and will be putting out a video soon comparing it with the tune

    @@ChloeKuo Chloe… I am definitely looking forward to your video with the Pedal Commander but in order to make it a fair comparison, did you have Quoc temporarily remove the OTT Tune? I have the Sprint Booster myself and I really love it but I’m planning on getting the OTT with the intent to address the gear hunting specifically. The Sprint Booster has been a night and day difference for me but if you’re doing the same for yourself, I would think that having the OTT already programmed on your truck isn’t going to make it a fair comparison of what the Pedal Commander is meant to do vs. getting a Tune outright. In theory, the Pedal Commander should allow you to adjust your throttle response and in that aspect only. I guess if someone who got a Tune isn’t happy with how it feels when they step on the gas, the Pedal Commander should allow some variable/flexibility in fine-tuning the “experience.” To me, adding the Pedal Commander onto an already tuned truck would be like doing a wrap on a $20,000 paint job and if that makes sense. Needless to say, I have not seen a video out there where an individual has both a Tune and an added Pedal Commander/Sprint Booster at the same time so in that regard, you will be a first I believe. As customary, the BEST is always saved for last. :) As usual, a most excellent video and commentary. Mark

    Nice video. If this had existed two years ago, I wouldn't have wasted two years trying to decide if I wanted the tune or not. My tuner is qualified to do Orange virus, kdmax, and ott. I went with ott because when we discussed it, he really wasn't interested in doing any but ott calling it the newest technology. I have a 2018 TRD OR 3.5 liter 4x4 and after owning 6 Toyota trucks and 4 bys previously I was literally hating my 3rd gen. After the tune I'm thrilled! I also agree with pretty much everything you said though my gas mileage went up just over 20% from 14 to 18 if not too much stop and go traffic. Freeway about the same. I think the difference in my case is due to vehicle weight - skids, sliders, winch and bumper, recovery gear, etc. I also have a 2500 plus or minus travel trailer. I did not notice any change in gas mileage when towing, flat or mountainous. Taco mileage just sucks when towing! However the gear hunting is completely gone without the trailer and minimal with it going uphill. So just adding my experience. I also love watching you mechanicing! Now, go hit some trails!

    I have offered KDmax and OTT in the past. If you want to have a safe, reliable and proper verified tune on your truck then there is no better option than OTT. Some tune developers don’t even test a tune on the vehicle it is offered for. Thats a big no go for me. With OTT you can rest assured that the people behind it have a deep knowledge about the trucks engine and transmission. They invest in data loggers and analyzing software in order to verify key parameters for a reliable function. Then they take the vehicle onto the dyno for further fine tuning. No short cuts taken.
