Help with Nannies

Sorry in advance for asking about Nannies. I know it has been covered extensively. I have a 2018 TRD Offroad. It is lifted with 35” tires. I followed the steps to turn off all nannies and engaged tow/haul for the drive to work. I didn’t notice a difference. I normally just engage tow/haul without turning off any nannies and love the throttle response. I followed the steps correctly and saw all the dash indications as I should. My first question is, do the nannies reset when I shut the truck off? Last question is what setting is best for daily driving to get all my power accelerating from red lights? I never off road and only want it for around the city/interstate driving. I am a first time Tundra owner and love it. I always had tunes on my Fords but that caused more problems than it helped and I am not planning on tuning my Tundra. Thank you in advance for any answers.

 

Everything resets each time you turn off the truck.

You may want to check out a tuner. Bullydog is popular. A tuner will allow you to change some of those settings and allow for better driving response.

 

Yes.

Nannies off, Tow/Haul on.

 

I really wanted this thread to be about a different kind of nannies...

Thanks for the help. I don’t need any help “turning off” the other kind of nanny. That comes natural. Haha. I enjoy driving with just the tow/haul engaged. Are the nannies robbing me of power under normal driving scenarios? No wet roads or gravel. Just dry, paved roads.

 

Turning off the the nannies is a mixed bag. It shuts off the LSD and such that use the brakes to limit wheel slip, so less brakes more go. However, turning them off also makes it so you can spin your tires freely, so less go. If you are on 35s and want a bit more oomph you can look at potentially re-gearing to recover what you lost adding those big wheels and tires (also keep in mind that you are going faster than your speedometer says unless you corrected it) or you can look at tuning it and such.
