#1 mod I reccomend all you guys. Girl in passenger seat
Couldn't agree more! Easy to install, easy to tune, just EXPENSIVE! ;-)
That's a good way to lose a truck. That's what I did and it turned my Tacoma into a Prius.
@@c0linh20house2 Oh no, that's a disaster!
@@Motoroso Yeah, shoulda just got a dog.
my only issue is do I start at the base model or pay a little extra for the premium model 🤔 lol j/k awesome comment , great video
Just bought a 21 Tacoma off road 4x4, love this thing!
Awesome, congrats Ivan! How can we help you with mods?
@@Motoroso definitely might look into the throttle mod. The ECT PWR button helps a bit, but I bet that throttle mod will set it free.
@@djquik182000 Indeed, opens her up nicely, unlocking whatever she's got to give :-) Contact us on live chat or at 1.833.MOTOROSO and we'd be happy to get you a great deal.
looking to get one myself also any tips
@@michaelsharma6832 you get the best deals on the last day of the month, so today would be a great day to cop one!
No need to buy a throttle module. Just press the ECT PWR button and the computer modifies the transmission shifts for quicker acceleration. Save your $$$.
I also find the ECT PWR is a perfect mix of throttle response and gearing. It’s really more about customization but I agree, I live off mountain roads and the ECT PWR does plenty even with my little 4 cyl !! .. granted I’m not towing anything besides a few tools and a fiberglass bed cap but still impressed how much power the truck has in reserve climbing hills with just 160ish horsepower
Is it bad to keep ECT on all the time?
@@dgrimey3744 no. it resets to normal mode after turning the engine off each time
Isn't the throttle response the reason for throttle module. I say this because the ect revs higher but the peddle response still lags
@@jamesp2395 the throttle map is curved, not linear. I’ve adjusted to it. Yes, if I ever go back to a vehicle with a linear throttle map, I’ll probably burn the tires off for the first 6 months 🤣. We just have to push the gas pedal more. When my TRD O/R gets to 4000 revs it’s like somebody mashed a nitrous button.
Just picked up the ‘22 Tacoma SR5 4x2 v6 really really enjoying it so much! 🔥🔥
Same but a 4 banger. Love it added American Racing Baja and 265 70 17 Venom XT, 2 inch leveling and slow but looks amazing.
Just got me a 2017 SR5 Taco and found you on CZcams for upgrades and mods. Great price on Husky floor mats so placed my order last night, thinking I got the rights ones for my auto-trans V6. This morning your customer service pro, Alex, texted me to ask and confirm I wanted the ones for the manual transmission, OOOPS! Alex sent me the links to the Husky's I really need. Alex cancelled my order and sent me the refund confirmation, new order placed and a headache for me was avoided. Can't say thank you enough, PdD in customer service, a pro's pro! Highly, HIGHLY recommend, looking forward to future business and videos from y'all. Mega-props and thanks from a newbie Taco truck owner, CHEERS!!!
Our pleasure Brian, thanks for the amazing feedback!
What a great video! Just decided on a Tacoma for an overlanding rig, I was getting lost a bit in what was important and what wasn't! Your website is a great place to find what I want too!
"19" TRD Offroad here. Just had the OV tune installed, felt a different IMMEDIATELY! shifts are great & gained 3MPG with 33" Geolandars & 4:88 gears.
How much did it cost you?
@@frankwest9304
Its been a while, around $200-250. Definitely worth it.
@@CD-hc5ds ive been hearing about the OV tune, how or where do you get it done at?
It was a couple hundred bucks.
You'll have to do a little research & find someone thats doing it in your area. Definitely worth the effort, they now have the KDMAX tune, not sure which would be better.
It would be cool if there was an array of mods that would optimize the Tacoma as a work truck. All the mods I find are more geared toward off road (I get that's a bigger market).
After 2 months I finally found it. ‘19 off-road 4x4 6 speed manual. First Tacoma and lovin it. Thanks for the info 🤘🏼
Congrats!! And you're welcome. We'd love to get you hooked up with any mods you have planned, so don't hesitate to reach us on live chat at www.motoroso.com, or toll free at 833.MOTOROSO.
Wish I was more confident driving a manual... This is definitely the best spec of the tacoma.
Just got my 22 Off-road Manual..took 6months from order. I absolutely love it.
Looove my SR5! Just got mine too!! Was looking how to take care of it and upgrade it and found this channel! Thanks for the tips and tricks!
Our pleasure, glad you liked the video! Please let us know if we can help with any of your parts and accessories!
Holy shitballs, within the first minute, named my #1 main complaint of the Tacoma. I'm not alone in the world
You are not alone sir 🤗
My 2021 came with a power adjustable driver’s seat. Fixed every problem the seats had. Power Up, down, forward, backward, lumbar, and thigh support.
@@gerardthai6467 take it your under 5' 5
@@kidamere2408 i'm 5'5".
How sweet would the Tacoma be with a v8. It’s literally the perfect truck IMO, just needs that extra umph and we’d be in heaven 😁
Just bought a 2017 and this is gonna be my little hobby to mod my truck on the side :)
Finally a Toyota Tacoma 2021 TRD pro owner. Tryna make this baby crazy
Awesome, congrats, that’s a badass start! What’s first? Lets get you set up!
@@Motoroso already have my mbrp exhaust and installed it already so now a cool air intake would be sick
@@brandonpatino7385 Just installed a K&N cold air intake on my 2019 Trd Pro. Love the sound on it. Spent about $260 plus tax from K&N through Amazon. I'll have to look into that exhaust.
I have the pedal commander on City -2 each mode can be set from -4 to +4 in Eco, City, Sport, and sport plus. Best part you can add to the slug that the Tacoma is. I would tell everyone that it should be the first mod to buy for a Tacoma if you want to enjoying driving your truck
I’m running City +2, and I love it.
Dude thanks so much for breaking it down like this for us. Liked and subscribed as a result.
You’re welcome. Welcome to the fam!
Just got a 19 Tacoma TRDsport 4x4. Dreams do come true!!
Congratulations Joel!
This video is the ultimate in 3rd gen mods from the 10 or so videos that I have seen. thanks for getting to the nit and grit and what matters in terms of mods
Glad you found it helpful! Let us know when you're ready for mods!
Very nice to see the endless mods for the 3rd Gen Tacoma. I am looking to purchase a 2023 TRD Sport or the off road model in the next two weeks. Thanks for sharing.
Just bought a 2019 Tacoma Sport ohh I love it!!! Best truck yet!!
I wanna see. Whats your gram?
Just ordered my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport in the army green. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Whoooot! Congrats David! Here to help with mods when you're ready!
Just bought my first Tacoma last weekend! Pre-owned 2019 off road 4x4! I can’t wait to add a bunch of these mods!

Love Tacoma’s and I’ve had 5 total. 2010, 2012 (stolen), 2015, 2019, and now 2021. But my ‘19 4x4 v6 off road 4-door had a fuel delivery issue at highway speed. I found out last Thursday that there’s a safety recall with no remedy yet that was related to the issue I was having. I traded it in for a ‘21.
@@gerardthai6467 hey! Thanks so much! Luckily I knew of this and the issue was fixed before I purchased it. :)
I just bought a black 4x4 2017!!! I’m really excited I’m picking her up tomorrow. Get them now because these things are selling about 2-3k above sticker price right now. You have all been warned these things are going to be dreams years from now. A lot of people will regret not having one
by the time i do all these modifications, I just paid for another Tacoma....
That’s the taco lifestyle 🤙🏼
It's like Anakin becoming Darth Vader
i have two kids and selling my modified jeep wrangler for my second tacoma. story of my life.
I've had my 17 TRD Sport for a year now. Not sure if anyone else has a manual transmission but I don't have the problem with the power. I can get on it!!!
Just bought a 2022 TRD off-road MT. No issues with power.
I live in colorado and Armor is essential here for narrow rocky trails. Skids and sliders for sure and maybe bumpers if you feel like going crazy. Upgrade tires, 235/85/16 = 32inch no rubbing. 255\85/16=33 inch no rubbing. Ovtune is amazing. No need for cai. H11 to h9 halogen headlight mod ~$15 for almost twice the light.
I love my Tacoma even though it is the 4- cylinder 4x2 and yes the struggle is real 😆. You know because it struggles to get up hills, lol. I'm learning how to drive it though. I started using sport mode to limit the gears when I need it. I got tired of hitting the ECT Power button
sent this to the wife with comment, Xmas list :) lol great video thanks just got a 4x4 off road, this will help
Sneeky Raid awesome! Thank you. Let her know we’re here to help toll free at 1.833.MOTOROSO
Good video, appreciate all the ideas. Thanks!
Glad you liked it, let us know how we can help! We've got the Pedal Commanders in STOCK, they sold out several times in 2021, but we have a few on hand right now! www.motoroso.com/p/667953-pedal-commander-lexusmitsubishisuzukitoyota-throttle-controller?lid=1698031
Great video!! I just added the Rough Country 6 inch suspension Vertex coil over lift and 35's on my 2018 TRD Sport. What a difference the stance has, especially up here in Fairbanks Alaska where stock trucks are gobbled up in the snow and/or muskeg.
After the 6 inch lift, did u need to d any trimming to run 35’s? Or a cab mount chop?
A towing package definitely helps
Great video, super well done!
Thank you sir, deeply appreciated!
Just installed rock sliders by Tyger on my 2019 rock solid!
PSA:
3rd Gen Tacoma already has a cold air intake, save money, buy a K&N filter.
Wheel back spacing will be the same for TRD Off Road, Sport, and Pro (unsure about SR) on the truck; only the factory wheels are different.
The first mod anyone should buy for off roading should be rock sliders.
Buy a AFE! They’re incredible.
Thanks for making the vid. Lots of good information. Wish you could show some more examples of these mods on the truck, not just the equipment but an actual pic of what it looks like on the vehicle.
I bought a 2016 4x4 limited and love it
Awesome video man, just bought a 2021, SR5 4x4 and ordered wheels, tires and leveling kit. I get it tomorrow :)
Hey Chase, good stuff man, congrats.... would've been cooler if you ordered them from us 🤔 Maybe next time.
@@Motoroso as an new Tacoma owner, I will definitely check you guys out. CZcams did me good recommending your Channel on my timeline
@@chaseadams8018 We appreciate that! Glad you found it helpful!
1st mod, led interior light bulbs. 20 bucks on ebay.
Yeah, this list is the Insecure Toxic Masculinity Package for mall crawlers. They apparently don't sell Quality of Life stuff.
LED install was my first mod as well. Now I have interior lights like the standard LED interior light in my wife's base model Ford Escape.
@@chooseymomschoose So, basically if someone's truck looks better than your's they are exhibiting "toxic masculinity" -- whatever that means.
@@quinton01 exactly lol. If you don’t keep your truck stock you’re just insecure. Definitely get $20 lights before making your truck enjoyable to look at
@@chooseymomschoose what are you even talking about
After adding all that weight to your truck, and this is before you add all your gear, you will probably want to look at swapping differential gears as well. that will definitely improve performance from 0-60 and at highway speeds.
Gearing is a must after Lift and tires anyways! Great advice...!
One thing I wished you guys would of touched on when it comes to lifts is the gear ratio and lack of power it may cause from a lift as well as drive shaft spacers or leaf spring shims which are almost a must when lifting the Tacoma. I wish it was as simple as throwing a 6” lift on it and going. Also on the bumpers you guys suggested it would more than likely involve cutting the body to do so. I have lifted around 7 Tacoma’s and on almost all of the lifts have to be done just right.
Absolutely right my friend, wish we had included the re-gearing mod as well! Luckily, the community has come to the rescue, and hopefully people will read the comments :-) Thanks for your contribution!
@@Motoroso That is the great thing about Tacoma owners we all come together if you reach out in the right places and help out! Other than those recommendations you guys covered some great stuff!
hey, thx for posting this. my Taco is due for some parts love.
You're welcome Rick, glad it was helpful! We love giving parts love, so please let us know how we can help you get set up! We can be reached on live chat at motoroso.com, or toll free at 833.668.6767 (833.MOTOROSO).
Love my 2019 Tacoma 4×4 V6 off road
You should include getting rid of the stock skid plate up front. There’s multiple options that include a door for the oil filter to be removed without dropping the whole skid plate. More durable and more access…can’t beat that for under $300
The factory skid plate is paper-thin. It might protect from flying pebles and small obstacles, but nothing significant.
So I just bought a 21 Tacoma off road 4x4 access cab. My previous Tacoma was a ‘10, then a ‘15, then a ‘19, now this one. I’ve always had to have a seat pad to address the seating position and in my ‘19, i jacked the rear of the seat with a 2” steel square tube and seat jackers for the front. The power seat in the ‘21 fixed the seating position issue 100%. I also want to put a lift on it and after going to the motoroso site, I was unable to find the mentioned Skyjacker kit.
Congrats on the new Tacoma Gerard! We can order the Skyjacker Lift kit, it's a special order item and we don't have a listing on our website currently. If interested in a price quote and shipping time estimate, please reach out to us at support@motoroso.com, or call toll free at 1.833.MOTOROSO!

The 2023 Tacoma is going to be sick!
My 1st mod on my '20 trd offroad was k&n chrome tube cold air intake. I don't know about any performance gains but when you get the throttle to between 3000 and 5000rpms it sounds wicked almost like a trophy truck. It's badass 😎
Hell yeah, pair that with an exhaust and the V6's on these Tacomas sound pretty damn good!
You got a parts number for that intake brother?
@@XBadluckchuckX which one? We mentioned a few. Also, what year is your Tacoma? The ‘21 had some minor changes to the AC lines that prevent the box style intakes from fitting.
@@Motoroso Nooo the chrome K&N intake Mike is referring to. I’m thinking it’s a 77-9039KP but I’m not 100%. And mines a 2018 TRD Off-Road, so I’m all good.
Too noisy.
With a manual transmission you can eliminate the first two mods with just an intake/exhaust. They have better gears from the factory and the intake helps wake up throttle response a little bit
I'm gutted I didn't get a 6MT. The auto box is truly dreadful but I'll live with it until it's time to change. Apart from that the truck is great.
@@nigelpepper881 Just bought my 16 Tacoma MT today. I made the mistake with the last truck of not waiting for an MT. Won't make that mistake again!
yeah, my 2022 is automatic and everytime I drive it the transmission is fighting me. A manual would have fixed everything.
1-st and only mod necessary after getting the correct transmission (Manual 6-speed) MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGER!!!!! Absolutely wicked Performance!!!! Life is short, dont be that guy on his death bed wishing he would have SuperCharged his Toyota back in the day!!!!! I did both my 2016- 4RUNNER/Tacoma Off Road !!! Both are just NASTY FAST!!!!!! Live Life my fellow Toyota Owners!!!! Magnuson deserves a huge Thank You 🙏
AMEN BROTHER! We sell Magnuson blowers! Anyone looking for this, hit us up at www.motoroso.com or call us toll free at 1.833.MOTOROSO (833.668.6767) and we'll get you a great deal... they retail for over $6500, but we can beat that all day long :-)
How is the supercharger holding up?
Right before doing a long term review video of my 2018 TRD OffRoad in silver, the dealer offered me a 2021 in Red and with more options. I wasn’t sure about it, but then they offered to give ME a check to do the deal...couldn’t pass it up.
I have a 2019 Trd 4x4 sport. I love my Tacoma. Best investment I have made.
Investments usually gain value over time.
You definitely got my subscription with this video!
Awesome, great to have you! Glad you found it helpful. Let us know if we can help with any mods.
I installed a k & n drop in filter and it improved throttle response. This engine air starved especially at lower RPM. The Atkinson cycle engine shortens the intake cycle at lower speeds. Any intake improvement will help. A TRD intake accelerator And k & n intake tube may help as well. These mods are considerably cheaper than a cold air intake. The stock air box is a cold air intake. These mods will open the intake and eliminate the air resonance box. I like the Borla cat back system
100% Getting more air into the system, always better! CAI systems are nice, but just the filter helps for sure, the K&N Filter for the V6 can be bought here: www.motoroso.com/p/45270-kn-replacement-panel-air-filter-for-toyota-2014-tundra-46l57l-2014-sequoia-57l-v8?lid=1731392
And we agree, Borla systems are top notch... here's a link for the S-type cat-back system with the black tip: www.motoroso.com/p/474384-borla-16-18-toyota-tacoma-35l-at-4dr-cc-short-bed-s-type-ss-catback-exhaust-black-chrome-tip?lid=1692186
Subbed. Put my deposit yesterday on a '21, army green with anti-theft device. Looking for mods in the future
Awesome James, congrats on the new truck, you're gonna love it! Great color choice too. We'd love to get you set up with your mods, please keep us in mind, and don't hesitate to email us at support@motoroso.com, or call us toll free 1.833.MOTOROSO whenever we can help!
I pick up my 2021 cement color today. This video came just in time in my recommendations. Seat covers would be a good thing to add. Kryptek looks good. Keeps those seats perfect underneath haha.
Congrats on the new truck "grunt"! Great color choice. Let us know if we can help with any of your mods, including those seat covers.
Clazzio seat covers are also very nice. I’d recommend.
Funny, a Mod company telling you what mods you “need”. Oh yah they can sell you that! Perfect!!
I own a 2017 toyota tacoma trd sport dbl cab long bed.
So far ive modded it with the following:
K&N 63 series high-flow intake
Tri fold tonneau cover
Avs bug deflectors
Genesis offroad dual battery kit with 2 oddyssey batteries
A 1000k watt inverter
And inside and outside led light bulbs that i got off amazon.
Wanted to know what was your take on superchargers? I herd they stopped for 3rd gen but on another forum i think i herd that another company builds superchargers for 3rd gen. Any thoughts?
Also the exhausts are single, would you recommend single or dual? Was thinking as this upgrade as my next project for my truck
Hi Luis, sounds like a great build so far! Yes, Magnuson makes an awesome supercharger kit for the 3.5L Tacomas. It runs about $6500, and it takes your power to 380 at the crank, which is over 300 at the wheels! We sell these kits, as well as the exhaust systems, and we'd love to get you set up. If you're going to supercharge, I think the dual exhaust makes a lot of sense! We can help find the right system for this. Please don't hesitate to call us toll free at 1.833.MOTOROSO (833.668.6767) or email us at support@motoroso.com
Hi Great video. I do have a question. What's the biggest tire and wheel combo I can Install on 2016 Tacoma TRD I can install with out any doing any modifications?
At stock ride height you’re not going to get much bigger than stock if you plan to off-road it and want bigger tires you gotta go with a full lift kit to fit those 31 and over sizes
Hey Cruz, in our experience you can bump up to a 265/70/17 (which is a 31.6" tire) without rubbing on a stock Tacoma. But, with a simple 2.5 - 3.0" leveling kit or a 3" lift kit, you can bump up to a 285/70/17, which is 32.7". Feel free to hit us up at 833.MOTOROSO or live chat on motoroso.com for help getting wheels and tires :-)
I just got my 2016. with the 2.7L. with five speed. I need some rumble in the jungle. definitely glad for the 5 speed. :-)
Hey Brian, congrats on the truck! Let us know if we can help with any of those mods!
@motoroso great video, lots of useful info. Question regarding the air intakes, does the ARB/Safari snorkel plays the same role?
Great Video.
Totally agree!
You Tube is a POS platform anymore.
They put so many interruptions it ruins everything.
I would also include a onboard air setup
What LED lights for a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road? Thanks!
I have a mercedes sprinter I converted myself.... but something is pulling me towards changing for a tacoma trd pro and getting the overland set up! Any advice? Upsides down sides... I have a wife and a two year old... which should mean the vans easier? I don't know the pull is strong
Well that pull is understandable, these trucks are GREAT! It's a different thing from the van, with some pros/cons. First, in your van you can probably stand up, and have a bit more interior space. But on a Tacoma you will get a LOT more offroad performance and the ability to confidently and quickly get to more remote areas. The best way to set up for overlanding is to go with an overlanding bed rack system with modular sliders to store all your gear and tools, can even install a 12v refrigerator. On top you can get a roof mounted tent and awning to sleep the whole family! There's a lot to talk about here, so one of the best ways to advance the conversation would be to give us a call at 1.833.MOTOROSO, or email us at support@motoroso.com!
@@Motoroso thank you! I will be in contact soon! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
i have 2021 tacoma 4x4 off road does these parts fit on my tacoma that you mentioned in this video ?
Hey Emilis, yes, in 99% of scenarios these parts are exactly the same on the '21. We are here to help and always ensure before you purchase just to make sure, but yes is the short answer!
What about re-gearing the Tacoma for better performance? Isn't it a better option than the throttle modules?
Hey Ozzie, well "better" is definitely debatable, but here's a couple things to consider: The throttle module is a
Ozzie, you’re correct. I switched to 4.88’s, wish I would have gone 5.29’s though. It holds top gear on the hwy much better. Gears would be first on my list even w/o bigger tires. I don’t have a single complaint about swapping. Warranty is out at 36k anyway. That’s 1.5-2 years for most people. It’s a mute point.
@@nj_tacoma6723 how much was a re-gear? I got 110k on the clock so f&@k a warranty
My pedal commander will sometimes cause malfunction reads on the dash, why is that? I'll have to unplug it from the pedal ports and let it reset and plug it in again?
I haven’t heard of that happening before. Could possibly be a bent pin in the plug? Or maybe not being seated fully and locked? I recommend calling pedal commanders support line to ask this question.
Mods are half the fun
The truck comes from the factory with a cold air intake.. it pulls from the passenger wheel well.. just get the K&N if you're looking for that lol it'll be a lot cheaper. Snorkel I recommend dobinson 4x4 mine was 300 bucks.
Did the k&n make a difference
Negative. The cold air intake replaces all the piping from filter to throttle body. Stock plastic has massive resonators, and the intake eliminates all of that and also eliminates turbulent airflow.
I have a 2021 Tacoma so I wonder if you know if adding this product would void or affect the warranty In any way?
Hey Ed, depends which product you’re talking about specifically?? Happy to answer your questions specifically, please drop us an email at support@motoroso.com, or reply here and we can clarify.
@@Motoroso just bought a 21 Tacoma 2 days ago! Wondering the same thing with the intake and exhaust as well as an ecu flash
possibly the throttle mod as well
@@anthonyb6521 the ECU flash definitely has warranty implications, toyota can/will know and then it comes down to whether your dealer service center is "cool" about it or not. The pedal commander is popular because it has no warranty implications. Intake and exhaust are so common, most service centers would not care about it in relation to warranty work, so you should be good there. Let us know if we can help with any specific parts!
Dynamic tests have shown "cold air intakes" often provide no boost in power and often result in less power. Everything is computerized and tuned for factory equipment. Some systems on some vehicles provide a few more horse power.
AFE has a RAM air intake extension for their Momentum cold air intake system.
the ect button makes the beast come out in my taco
Are y'all getting the 4cylinder or v6?
I just dont know which one to get.
I hear the 4cylinder is build pretty good to last almost no problems but the v6 of course has the a lil more power but comes with problems.
What's your take on it???
We advise getting the 6cyl. The 4cyl is underpowered. The 6cyl is too, just not as bad. The throttle module helps open either of them up, without any effect on warranty, and re-gearing will help the truck feel better as well.
Should I look at getting an auto or manual trans TRD OffRoad Tacoma?
Thats a lot of personal prefernce. IMHO, Manual is a must in muscle cars and sports cars..... but for a truck, I opt for auto.... depends how much you love shifting those gears, and if you prefer manual for wheelin'! If you get the auto, I think you can get their terrain and crawl control features.
About to grab a 2022 TRD Off-Road. Is this throttle mod compatible with the 2022?
Hey Aaron, yes both of them are compatible. They are currently backordered due to their popularity! The Pedal Commander is a bit more popular, and coming back in stock sooner. If you order it now they're going to ship 12/1/21... here's a link: www.motoroso.com/p/667953-pedal-commander-lexusmitsubishisuzukitoyota-throttle-controller?lid=1698031
I'm so confused, I went to the Motoroso website and filtered a search for parts on my 2021 TRD Pro and got a heating element and temp control thermostat for appliances you'd find in your home? Also an engine lifter set which I know the 3.5L Tacoma engine doesn't have and a Ford 7 quart oil pan...
Hey, yeah, we have tons of parts for your 2021 Tacoma, however, not all of our sellers have their fitment data up to date in a timely manner, and it takes time to get it all up to date. In this case, looks like none of them have, sorry! If you filter by '20, or '19 Tacoma, you'll get all the parts you could want, and 99.9% of them transfer over tot he '21. And as usual, we're here to help on live chat at www.motoroso.com or at 1.833.MOTOROSO if you have any questions, or want help finding/confirming parts that fit your Tacoma!
I'm pretty sure dealer mechanics doing warranty work can still track aftermarket ecu/flashes even if you flash back to stock tune. Just fyi.
Yeah they dont know how it was changed, but it does tell them how many times it was remapped.
Hello can you tell me if its safe and ok to have throttle module and a ovtune done or it's one or the other?
Thanks
Yes, 100% they will work together! The OV tune will have some throttle tuning built in, but the pedal commander will allow you to tune that more precisely. The throttle modules are very simple, and don’t mess with engine tuning at all.

I loved this car, is that a good idea to get this as a first car? I live in a city of Seattle?
Yeah man, can’t go wrong!
Do u need to re gear after going from 16 to 17s. I don't off road at all I got the sr5 4banger
Hey Mark, no, not necessarily. Wheel size is not as important as tire size. You can go from a 16" to a 17" wheel, but keep the exact same tire diameter and have literally no change in the leverage on the drivetrain. If you go from a 31" to a 33" tires, you don't even necessarily NEED to re-gear, although re-gearing is a great way to get more torque through the drivetrain to deal with those larger tires.
Did you dyno the cat-back systems?
Girlfriend is buying a 2017 4cylinder with a 5speed manual tranny. She is excited... I drive a dodge challenger so when I got behind the wheel it felt like a power wheels with a dead battery to me. Would an ecm tune really do much for a 4 banger? Or just ruin the fuel economy?
Not sure, haven't done much with the 4cyl. We know the pedal commanders are an easy install and make the truck way more responsive... www.motoroso.com/p/667953-pedal-commander-pc38-throttle-controller-for-toyota-tacoma-fj-cruiser?lid=1698031
Will the pedal commander work on manuals?
Hey Jason, yes sir it will! The PC gives you 4 driving modes from "eco" where you can gain 20% fuel economy, on up to Sport+ which wakes the motor up and gives nearly no throttle lag. We can hook you up with a deal on one of those, shoot us an email at info@motoroso.com and tell us exactly which Year and Model you have. Super easy install, and doesn't affect your warranty at all!
Pedal commander will void your warranty. Mine worked great for about 6 months and once it got cold it fucked up the computer in the truck
I 100% need to get the custom tune mapping. I live in a mountainous area and the shifting points do the opposite of what you want. downshifts two gears and redlines just for a tiny bit of accelration. Then will shift to a lower gear way before it ever gets into powerband, so you apply for gas and it downshifts again TWO gears to redline. What in the HELL were they thinking? My 2000 F-150 V6 manual is a dream to drive in comparision, which is extremely depressing.
What are the long-term effects of messing with the throttle? I don’t know much about motors/transmissions. I drive a 2017 Tacoma SR5 V6. Thanks!
None. The modules simply remove the digital lag programmed into the ECU, and act like a direct link between your pedal and the throttle body making the vehicle way more responsive. Nothing is changed about the engine mapping , fueling, or actual performance, it simply wakes the throttle up and feel more peppy.
@@Motoroso thanks for the quick response! Looks like I’ll be looking into this as a real option.
If I got a trd off road would 17” rim 33” tire what would the width need to be if I want the tire to come out bout 1” from wheel flare?
Hey, there isn't a super simple answer to this question. The best way to get that 1" of "tire poke" is to have a wheel with the correct offset, and a tire large enough to bulge past the fender but NOT rub too much (or at all). A -12 wheel offset brings the wheel out pretty flush with the fender, and then a larger offroad tire will stick out 0.5"-1". If you're trying to get that look with stock wheels, you will not be able to fit a tire large enough to stick out that much with just a different tire (it will rub inside). You can force it by installing wheel spacers with OE wheels, but we generally advise against this. Best solution = Wheels + tires optimized for exactly the look/stance you're trying to achieve. We're here to help with that and get you a good deal too, so hit us up on live chat at www.motoroso.com or call us toll free at 833.MOTOROSO.
The throttle responses/transmission hunting/and differental issues were recalled and can be fixed for free. ..btw
You have a link ?
@@ethancritchfield a link to? Get your vin and call the dealership. There is also an online page for toyota recalls. Just punch in the vin.
@@yourejustintim yes indeed. They do have a tsb already in place. No charge!
I have a 4 - Cylinder 2017 5 - Speed Manual Taco and I trying to go up a hill on 5th gear is so sad 😔 is it worth upgrading or should I rather do a trade in?
Personally I would look into a differential re-gear. When I re-geared my Jeep it solved my sluggish 5th gear issue. Not too sure if it would help in a Tacoma.
@@soundbomb101 how much money did that run you??
@@eliseocardenas1473 I'm sure huge and ridiculous amounts of money, So buy a V-6 and be done with it!
Just bought a 2021 TRD Off-road, I need some mods ASAP!!
Congrats! We got you covered! What’s first?
@@Motoroso I’m thinking the pedal commander might be first. Thoughts?
@@99OllllllOWJ it’s one of the most popular first mods for ‘20 and ‘21 owners cause it doesn’t affect your warranty and wakes up the motor in an immediately noticeable way! Only a 5 minute install, no brainer. Grab it here: www.motoroso.com/p/667953-pedal-commander-lexusmitsubishisuzukitoyota-throttle-controller
@@Motoroso Awesome! I ordered it! Cant wait! Thanks again!!!!!!!
Does the lift kit void the warranty?
I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma is throttle module compatible?
If you want "10 ply" tires that won't leave you changing a tire on logging roads, the leveling kit is requisite. It's not vanity and it hardly changes the profile anyway. If you're an adult who wants to look like a 17 year old and doesn't care about road handling, get a lift. You're BA.
What is the max lift that I can do without worrying about my cv axle or any other stuff for quicker wear and tear?
As long as you’re buying well designed and manufactured products, these manufacturers design lifts in a way that corrects geometries and you shouldn’t run into too many issues. If you just want a leveling kit, 2.5-3” max. If you get a proper suspensions lift, 6” is the most common big lift for Tacoma’s.
@@Motoroso thank you for quick response. I’ve been told before that leveling kit is not good for the truck. Any thoughts?
Do you have a before and after video of the Gibson muffler?
Soirry, we don't, we just shot the exhaust after. It was a noticeable increase in the volume and has a throaty tone to it, but not "loud" and not annoying when driving.
I have 31.65-inch tires (265/75R16) on my Tacoma without leveling kit and NO issues... Not even close to rubbing anywhere.
Do you recommend any dual exhaust systems that sound good?
Hey Marcus, there really aren't many options for dual systems. This Flowmaster system is on eof the only options, comes in at a good price and sounds nice. www.motoroso.com/p/9817-flowmaster-817719-american-thunder-cat-back-exhaust-system-fits-16-18-tacoma?lid=1231817
Is there the link to the 3in lift that comes with the control arms?
Hey, it's a new item and not up on the website just yet! BUT, it is available for order, and we can get you a great price on it with free shipping! Please call us at 1.833.MOTOROSO or reach us on live chat at www.motoroso.com
I have a 2020 Tacoma. I went to your site and most things are either sold out or don’t fit a 2020. What’s up with that?
Hey Gabriel, that’s probably because the fitment data associated with the products haven’t been brought up to date for the 2020 applications yet. All of our data comes from our sellers and there’s over 1M products, so it’s tough to keep up with. There’s 1,000s of products for the 3rd gen Tacoma, and we have most of them, so feel free to hit us on live chat or at 1.833.MOTOROSO, and you can put in a 2017 Tacoma and get most of the same products. We’re always happy to help confirm it will work for your 2020.
New subscriber here, just order my 2022 SR5, chip shortage so out of stock 🤨 wow what we have come to !
