    Is any company offering a tune to make shifting quicker/more aggressive on this 3rd gen truck?

    Similar to putting a BMW in M-Mode? Something similar would be APR's Transmission TCU upgrades for VW/Audi.

    I have on my 2012, people say it's peppier but I didn't really notice a difference. I'm still breaking in my 2025 but will try that once it's broken in.

    Hope if your region is in an air quality achievement area your Tune passes the Check Sum test when you have to pass emissions. Be sure whom ever you get your Tune (shifting and all other) through they have a CARB Cert your State accepts.

    No need IMO if you use Tow/Haul mode or Sport mode in your standard oem options for all Gen3's.

    Ironically (so much government emphasis on the environment and using electric) in Washington state there are no emissions checks anymore.

    Thank you sir

    OTT hasn’t came out with 22+ Tundra tuning as of yet.

    I can however tune your truck remotely. If you’d like to know the details on that, shoot me a PM.

    just remember if something happens you're on your own with no warranty if you tweak the truck aftermarket, they can tell.

    good luck , but I think towhaul+ and or sport mode will do what you want good enough, its not a race car anyways.

    Just an FYI, in VF Tuner there are 19 different shift sets with 18 shifts in each set. This of course covers each mode, if you use sequential shift in that mode, if you’re in tow haul in that mode, ect. Then there’s shift pressures, Tq lock up, ect. So many different options and parameters. I’ve seen that sport mode really operates the best out of all of them, at least in my opinion. If anyone has any questions about transmission tuning these trucks, don’t hesitate to shoot me a PM.
