    You're still running halogens, aren't you...:(

    The difference is phenomenal.
    It has nothing to do with keeping up with anyone..

    Rear sway bar + Pedal commander really improve the driveability of the Tundra!!!

    The lazy throttle was way too lazy. It made the truck harder to drive. I barely touch the throttle now and I'm up to 40 mph. I used to have to constantly keep asking for more and more throttle, just to move at a normal pace. Let's say up to 40% throttle , just to get to 40 mph. With the pedal commander and the setting I chose, I use like 5-10% throttle and it gets up to 40 mph like nothing. I had a 2007 Double cab limited 5.7 from new, and that had a stock throttle that is like.the pedal commander sport+3 setting. When I got the 2019 tundra I was horrified how bad the throttle felt.

    The sharper throttle makes you feel great about having a 5.7 liter, it makes you know you got torque and you can use it to drive around normal with super ease. It's kind of luxurious.

    But with the stock throttle, it felt like I was always chasing the throttle for more acceleration, and it was barely accelerating. Just a bad factory throttle setting. The stock throttle feels like a Prius, and that's not a compliment.


    And the rear sway bar made the truck feel 50% smaller in a turn. And the truck tracks way more straight. Love the rear sway bar.
    I have a feeling Toyota didn't put one, because they figured if someone wanted one, they'd buy the TRD one.

    Those 2 mods are necessary to make the.tundra feel how it should, at the minimum.

    With the stock throttle setting I'd say the Tundra required me to use 20-25% of my concentration to keep modulating the throttle to just drive it normally down the road. After the pedal commander, I got to free up that 20% of my concentration. It was actually harder to drive normal with the stock throttle. For a mod to make the truck easier to drive, I think is substantial.

    My mpg went up 1 mpg. I think it's because I get up to cruising speed way quicker. And it then settles into the high gears faster. Goes in to closed loop faster.

    Some say pedal commander crashes on them, has never happened to me. I never change the settings. I just left in sport +3. And tucked it by the pedal.

    Been flawless

    What setting do you use on the pedal commander as your goto setting?
