Trac Control off + Tow Haul = BEAST MODE -> Confirmed

No, by default all the safety features reset themselves to on after a shutdown/restart.

 

Yes it resets every time you shut it down. I had one of these installed in my old truck.

Pulling the ABS fuse also disables the nannies.

 

I've felt the difference just turning tow/haul on but is there that much more response with the nannies off? I'll have to try.

 

the "nannies" derate your fueling and steering control changes and the tires don't spin and its just a big ole basket of suck. because when ya wanna spin the tires and the truck computer tells you no. well it just makes for a sad day.

 

I wanted to hit the like button more than once but obviously it won’t let me like this comment more.

 

I agree 100% ... it's like I'm 18 again and driving my '71 GTO.
My Tundra isn't the quickest or fastest truck on the road, but it is a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

 

When you do this

Do you guys let the truck shift itself, or do you manually shift using the S mode? If you were to pull up next to a Dodge, GM, or Ford =)

 

I feel that is more for downhill downshifting it’s just a sequential mode for range on gears S4 = using gear 1-4 only if I’m not miss taken not sure if that would increase power band in each gear but

 

So I finally got around to trying Beast mode today. Is it ok to drive like this all the time? I know tow/haul burns extra gas but with the other BS turned off I'm wondering if gas might be saved, esp when towing.

 

Holy shit I didn’t know this old girl could move like that. I’ve spent the last 8yrs in this truck and had no idea I’ve been living a lie..

 

Tried the beast mode today ..............We don't have enough road to unleash the beast in Trinidad......but fist time I ripped tires on the Tundra........what a rush.....

 

LOL

 

I run 285/75/18 tires with stock gears on a 2013 Tundra CrewMax. I’ve been driving around lately with TowHaul mode on ALL the time...... anyone see any issues with doing this?

 

Vid on what the traction control button does and how to turn it all the way off. Hope this helps. https://youtu.be/Yy990IvRlGY

 

I work right down the street from a hi performance gas, gas station. I put 93 no ethanol in my truck and combined with the DAP tune, it runs like a scalded dog...

I also have the option of putting 98 no ethanol in the tank, should I do it?

 

I see no pictures here of smoke emerging from Tundra wheel wells? This is just a joke right?

 

Tires are spendy man...

 

Possibly my favorite Tundra Video.
Turn the volume up. Love the laugh, that’s what I would’ve been doing.

Wish I had pictures when I took my son for a ride, in beast mode the truck burned rubber well into second gear, I strive not to do that too often, the 265 Coopers have a lot of tread on them that I'd just as soon not burn off, not to mention my wife would be rather PO'd if I came to her saying that I needed some new tires.

 

When would you use each option?

1) turn off by one press
2) turn off by holding 3 seconds
3) turn off by holding 3 seconds

And does each with tow haul on progressively make it go faster? Having tow haul on by doing step 3 is best for “beast mode”, “PMS” etc.?

 

I personally leave everything on while on pavement and turn everything off when I’m on dirt. But here’s everything you need to know.

Much appreciated, thank you.

 

wow just tried with mine. holy crap

 

24mpg, there is no way, the best I've ever got is 16,I have to try this if that is true

 

I tried it today for the first time and it was faster and felt lighter, but 0-60 was only a 1 second difference. Does that sound accurate?

 

I think a second is alot. what was your reading

 

I need to try this too. The best I have gotten is 17.9 on the highway using cruise control and keeping it between 65-70 MPH.

 

Nice writeup
