Does tuning your 2nd Gen Toyota Sequoia make a difference?

- Naturally aspirated #Toyota’s are notorious for being underpowered and aneamic after you build them out with bigger tires and more #Overland gear. Recently, a lot of people have been turning to getting their rigged tuned to make up for some short comings like acceleration and mpgs and we wanted to see if getting a tune would make any difference at all in our #ToyotaSequoia on 37 inch tires with stock gearing.
We test out 0-60 times, mpgs, and overall drivability to see if there are any noticeable gains in any of those areas after getting our rig tuned.

just a heads up.... if your or anyones gen 2 is getting poor gas mileage... change the air filter and you'll notice better gas mileage... i live paycheck to paycheck and i support 5 of us in my family... so im broke often lol last year and this year i noticed poor gas mileage... and simply changing the air filter immensely and immediately, improved gas mileage.. i stand by the wix brand filter and it helps better than the cheap ones... just an fyi 😉 God bless everyone here 😊 😃 also one of my cat converters is starting to get clogged so i noticed a loss of speed and horsepower, especially when i go uphill... so if anyone else has this problem... then know its the converter that is clogged... ... happy memorial day weekend to everybody reading this... 😉
Hang in there brother. You have the most important job in the world.
Thank you for the suggestion and looking out for others
I would suggest two treatments of Cataclean for the rig. Follow instructions and it will make a difference.
I did this to our 14' 4Rnr and the short term fuel trims improved.
My experience with the tune by MBP it helped reduce gear hunting GX470. Noticeably on incline. Less double down shifts…
That’s rad. I’m so glad it worked for you. It didn’t really do much for us.
Yes but I am ending up regearing especially after bigger tires. Transmission temp getting too high on highway inclines. Recently popped rear ring and pinion. Lol
Im not lifted to 2.5 but im around 2 on stock tires. But i got 17mpg during a 750 mile roadtrip last weekend and then 14mpg this weekend doing 75 miles offroad driving up mountains and the rest on the highway with a massive headwind. So it seems the best tune you can do is tire size 😂
Hey that’s very good mileage. Tire size indeed is the answer.
Ever since I put 35s on my 2008 sequoia, my speedometer is off. I can find anyone that can adjust my vehicle to display an accurate MPH. What did you do to fix this?
Easy fix for me. Scangauge ii and iii allows you to offset your Speedo on the display and it will display the correct speed.
Isn’t the MPG off because the ECU thinks it’s on stock tires? Wouldn’t you have to factor in the circumference gain with the larger wheel/tire setup? Regardless, sweet rig.
The tune accommodates for tire size.
@@CoolGuyClub was it a big difference? i guess what im asking is if your odometer said 70mph when you were actually doing 65 or 60? if so how much do you estimate was the difference? seems like it could be a problem if one is driving through a school zone lol or if a cop said you were speeding on the highway or something.... sorry for the dumb question.... i really would like to know the answer though. thanks in advance buddy 🙏 😀
Hey, I've been enjoying your more frequent posts lately! Could you comment in one of your future videos or maybe here in the comment about a steering issue I've noticed in all my Sequoias? There's a dead feeling at the center of the steering wheel when shimmying it left and right; the car doesn't start steering for the first few degrees, making it feel loose and delayed. I experienced this with my 2011 and other similar-year Sequoias I test drove. Have you encountered this, and do you have any possible fixes or opinions on it? Thanks!
Hmm assuming all your fluid levels are good I’d say it was the rack. The tundra racks in these cars do go bad from time to time and create a dead spot. I switched the rack in ours first year of ownership just to make sure it was good.
@@CoolGuyClub appreciate the reply! Look forward to more Sequioa content.
would love to see some content on the new landcruiser or any new Toyota off road vehicle. Will really boost your channels views as well
If I could afford one I’d oblige
Can you do this to a Rav4 with a V6 🤔
you totally can. its the same v6 and ecu as the V6 Tacoma
@CoolGuyClub which tuner is beat?
We should race!!! Armada vs Sequoia. 😜🤺🤺
Hell yes battle of the big boy v8’s
do you pump regular, mid, or supreme gas? and does it make a heck of a difference?
Always supreme. I need it for the timing to prevent knock
@@CoolGuyClub Have you noticed any knocking with stock tune using regular gas? On our 2011 I don't hear any BUT the magnaflow is so damn loud it probably drowns it out
What app are you using for the speed time?
The app is called fastR.. I grabbed it because it was free lol
Hi,
Have you considered a larger fuel tank for your sequoia?
I have but we get about 280 miles per tank and that isn’t bad enough for me to justify that cost
Hi,
I have a 08 sequoia on stock tires, new engine air filter and I’m lucky to get 12 mpg. What would te gearing look like?
Thank you for your content.
If you’re on stock tire sizing then a regear will not help sadly.
A tune will only boost your tq and hp by a few. What really improves is the throttle response and shifting points. Not worth it if you're not doing any FBO or forced induction. Your best bang for the buck is to regear imo.
Indeed!
The big V8 in yours. And the V8 in my GX hurt more than ever at the pump.
Any tune has to be better, right?!
Ahaha true. If you spread out 1mpg improvement over enough time it will eventually pay for itself
All the 4th of July sale have stared. Will
I have any issues running 17 in wheels with 35 tires?
Nope.
@@CoolGuyClub without a lift?
What about trying a pedal commander?
Hard no on that. All a pedal commander does is slow or increase the open rate of your throttle body. There is no real benefit to running one of those.
@@CoolGuyClub Had no clue, I thought they were basically pre loaded tunes that were activated through the switch... Interesting.
Tuning anything makes a difference.
Yes but is it measurable and worth it?!
