Yes you explain the garbage stock programming perfectly. Gutless engine with a transmission that constantly upshifts to the highest gear possible putting the engine in the worst part of its torque curve Then when you need to acclerate, you push the accelerator which is non-linear causing it to drop 2 gears, then it immediately upshifts to start the cycle all over again. The perfect setup for a horrible driving experience. I should be getting my OTT tune within a few weeks. Thanks for the video.
You will LOVE the OTT. We live in a very mountainous area and it’s so nice to have the transmission downshift into 5th instead of 4th, then into 5then, then into 4th again and again. I’m so glad I had the OTT installed. And when you need the power to pass, it’s there. My mpg went Up by 1-3 mpg depending on where I’m driving. I’m so thankful for the OTT. It’s worth Every Penny you spend
I've been daily driving a Tacoma for 2 years now and have never felt the need to get an OTT tune. I think it's only people who drive very aggressively who complain about the stock programming. Because I follow the speed limit, drive normally, and have never felt the need to ever change anything.
I LOVE the OTT on my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed. I’ve installed a cold air intake and the OTT. My Tacoma did come with the TRD Performance exhaust. It now has 318 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque at 2,300 RPM, while getting 22mpg at 82mph on the freeway with the cruise set. I enjoy your content, so I subscribed to your channel.
How was your experience with OTT and COLD Air Intake performance-wise? I just had my 2019 Tacoma OR tuned with OTT. Will the addition of an after-market CAI enhance and improve the performance of the truck? I would really appreciate any input. Thanks!
@@dellann6861 Yes I noticed an improvement in horsepower and torque. I also have the TRD Performance exhaust from factory. I’m thinking about upgrading to an AWE dual exhaust. The AWE dual exhaust system is a true Dual exhaust from the manifold back, whereas most dual exhaust systems have a split exhaust tube from the single exhaust system. If you add the CAI, you’ll notice a big difference in the sound of your truck when accelerating. My TRD OR sounds like a V8 when my foot is on the floor or when in passing someone. The CAI allows your truck to breathe easier on the intake. The TRD Performance exhaust system allows less back pressure in your engine, thus the entire intake, engine and exhaust work better as One. Currently my TRD has 318 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque and I’m still getting better fuel mileage when my cruise is set on the freeway, or highway. I’m getting better mileage around town as well. Spectra CAI is just as good as a K&N for a lot cheaper. I hope this answered your questions. Cheers !
I think the "mpg increase" people claim is from the fact that instead of having to floor the truck because it wont do what they want every time now that the throttle is linear they arent having to mash it
I was getting 24+ doing 80-85mph with the tune. Being able to hold 6th gear on the interstate helps a ton. Since I switched to 255/85r16 Falken wildpeak AT4 tires its gone down quite a bit. But they are C rated 6 ply tires so it was expected.
@@270eman I’m getting 23.9mpg with the cruise set on 82mph on I-90. My 23 TRD Off Road still has the factory tires. When they wear out I’ll stay with the same size as factory on 16” wheels. I’m thinking about buying the Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s. We use my TRD for light duty work around our property and off roading on forest and service roads, as well as the Washington state BDR. We live in the mountains of north central Washington state, 5 miles from town (25 miles from the city) on a private road that we have to plow and maintain ourselves. We get 5-7 feet of snow every winter. I put 300# of sand bags over the rear axle during the winter for better traction. On our last pickup I had Cooper Discoverer A/T tires and they performed well, but that truck was solely used for work around our property. They were more aggressive tires than the AT3W’s.
@@Doc1855 Yeah the Wildpeak AT4Ws are really aggressive for an all terrain. I wanted 255/85r16 size so I could fit 33" tires with no mods. It seems for that size C rated is the only option. These tires are around 58lbs each so they cut into the mpg some. The tune feels great with them though. It was a little jerky with the smaller 245/75r16 highway tires. At3 is probably fine. I think its a little lighter.
I got the OTT tune last week, really enjoying it so far. The topic of mpg; I live in an area with a lot of hills and inclines and mostly do city driving. After the tune, with the way I drive I’m seeing around a 3-4 mpg increase. I have a feeling it’s because I’m not needing to constantly floor it to get back to the speed limit after every red light. Maybe that’s just me and because of the way I drive, but I’m really impressed with it. I got the mild throttle response and medium/spicy for ect power.
It's worth it. Source: I started with KDMax because it was the first tune I knew about then found OTT later. The difference is an amateur tune vs a much more developed one.
Change your oil every 5K miles with full synthetic oil and change your front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid every 30K miles and your Tacoma will last at least 300K miles. I put 488K miles on my last Toyota.
I've watched a lot of videos about the OTT tune. Yours was incredibly insightful and helpful! I want to get the tune, but I wonder if it would fix the issue I'm having. Maybe everyone has this same experience, but I haven't found a video about it yet. When I'm driving at really any speed, say 50-60 mph, and I let go of the accelerator with anticipation of coasting to a red light, for example, it will downshift kind of hard, almost as if you're driving a stick shift and you dropped into a lower gear too early and the rpm's will go up. You'll feel it down shift each time too, pushing you forward a little bit. Pretty annoying! Example: Traveling 55mph in 5th gear --> let off gas, truck starts to slow down --> truck shifts into 4th gear --> rpms go up --> repeats through each gear as you slow down, rpms going up each time it downshifts Is this what most people feel on a stock Tacoma? I've got a 2021 V6 double cab. I used to have a 2004 V6 double cab and never had this issue. Sadly, that truck got rear ended and totaled. RIP lol
I don't know if I've ever re-created that experience at those speeds but sometimes I do let off the gas doing the same thing at lower speeds in a neighborhood and the transmission sometimes gets confused on whether to drop to the lower gear or stay in the gear it was in when I get back on the accelerator. The best way I can describe this transmission is lazy but if that's the tradeoff for longevity I guess so be it. I'm not a mechanic so please take my advice appropriately based off a comment your making so we're starting from a big stretch here but I would look at the OTT tune as an improvement for the transmission shifting not a fix. I'd say you have a pretty good understanding what the transmission should feel like from your 2024 so if somethings off with your 2021 it would be worth getting it checked out at a reputable transmission shop.
I am getting better MPG with the tune. I am getting 24+ consistently doing 80-85mph down the interstate. It never did that good before. I think its because I have more power in 5th and 6th now so its not dropping down to 4th all the time and burning lots of fuel.
As a ex mechanic, i noticed that dang trans all the time. I was so sick of it after almost being hit in traffic because of it. I went to the dealership and traded it for a manual. I didn't know at the time there was a tune. I found out later on. I noticed a 3 to 5 mpg difference when i got rid of that auto. The manual was the mpg predicted by toyota. While the auto lagged so bad, and reved up so much, i was not getting good mpg at all.
i also switched from auto to manual. i hated the auto so much, i constantly used the manual shift mode. at that point i figured i might as well drive a manual so i got one lol. But i want to get a tune for my manual taco for the terrible rev hang. i can make a cup of coffee before going 1 to 2.
I got the OTT tune on my 2021 trd off road premium it’s worth every penny better performance and better mpg nothing but good things to say about it and not one draw back.
So right now, if I go to get a smog inspection, and they do, here in California, hook up to the vehicle OBD computer, it won’t detect/fail inspection due to tune? Also…I’ve heard that the dealers, cannot tell that the OTT has been installed. What is the story on these 2 concerns?
The OTT guys gave me a press release recently. "“We have been working on this Executive Order for the 3rd Generation Tacoma 3.5L for well over a year now and are excited to bring the first naturally aspirated CARB certified calibration to the marketplace. The new calibration retains all the driving characteristics, power, and torque that OTT is known for, but in a CARB certified calibration. OTT is heavily invested in providing our clients with the best and safest calibrations available.” said John Gobbels, CEO of OTT." Their website hasn't been updated with the latest release yet but see below... overlandtailor.com/press-releases The dealership may/can give you grief if you're still under warranty and they make a claim that the aftermarket ECU caused the issue. But there's past precedent that you can't automatically invalidate a vehicle warranty claim due to the magnuson/moss act. You have to determine what your comfort level is with going to the aftermarket. I've personally had a tune on at least 6 of my last vehicles I've had going back over 30 years now. The thing to find is a good tuner with dyno proven results and multitudes of happy customers.
I just got my OTT done 2 days ago…he added a sticker under the hood for C.A.R.B. Compliance…he sending me some additional paperwork supporting Compliance…The actual reason for the tune was increased charging voltage cause I installed X2 Power AGM battery…I’m running a 1200 watt system and was having headlights dimming issues…even after the battery installed I was still having issues…after installing the cables upgrade(4ga. Alt to battery/battery to alternator ground) basically eliminating dimming of headlights…still have to run battery to body and engine to frame…I didn’t want to constantly charge the battery at home(AGM batteries required higher charging voltage)…the installer made me sign a disclaimer form and tried to talk me out of it…saying if you reinstall a stock battery…higher voltage will kill it)…I did the mild/medium and initially the pedal pressure took time get used too….acceleration from the stoplights was whole lot smoother and rpm’s didn’t drop as previously…medium on the hi-way gives you a whole lot of get up and go…before you had to plan lane changes due to the delay of the truck to go…now you just point and go…just a quick downshift and you’re doing 80+ mph…mileage wise…with the more aggressive driving…I was within 1/2 mpg(21.0 vs 20.5)…best part is the installer will reflash your truck for free…so if you installed bigger tires…change gears…added additional weight or if want the more aggressive tuning…it’s free…so he can probably take it out too…but don’t expect a refund…I wish I would have done this sooner…2016 Tacoma TRD Sports 4x4 dc with 78,xxx miles..
I used to refure to the transmission as a lazy teenager. Big hurry to get to the highest gear possible and just stay there. And when you asked it to do something it would pull a fit and downshift 2 gears then right back up to the highest gear possible and stay there. Then the fight would just continue over and over
How much did the Tune run you I really need to get that done I had a 1998 four runner this is when they were brand new everybody what did their factory rims chrome dip with Mickey Thompson tires but not off-road tires this is one people would get the ski rack and snowboard rack on their SUVs and grill guards the Big round PIAA fog lights I had the silver 1998 I got my grill guards painted the same color as the truck with the chrome the factory rims Mickey Thompson tires and everybody back then add aftermarket stereo systems but I remember that V6 in that forerunner it Felt like I mean from when I remember it was a lot quicker I don’t remember I have to look it up in years but that forerunner felt like it was a lot quicker and more horsepower than my Trd Tacoma sport I have right now 2018
Honestly I don't remember if retail price is $400-600. It might depend on your local tuner and what they charge. The tune definitely wakes the truck up when you keep your foot in it after 4k rpms. For me though the throttle response was the most important thing.
@@thomasnolan6693 There's no shift logic to correct on your vehicle but the throttle response may be better (it's best to ask OTT) and the engine tuning certainly still applies.
I'd have to verify but I'd be surprised if it got to 3rd gear with what I call normal throttle input. Of course the more the accelerator is pushed the higher the mph will be in 2nd gear.
@aaronlabeau yea let me know with normal throttle input driving 35mph speed zones. Try not to get to 40mph. I'm curious what what gear it holds driving city 35mph zones
@@dajahvue So for the most part it's 3rd gear but if I'm super light on the throttle it will shift into 4th. It's probably worth mentioning that no matter what your speed is I do notice the truck is much more likely to unlock the torque converter to better assist with passing. I like this feature of the OTT tune.
I test drove a 21 OR and the lag on the acceleration was very noticeable. The truck just felt like it had very little power and top end speed. Does the OTT fix all that? As in it gives it more noticeable power and top end speed?
@@benito6543 The throttle response difference with the OTT tune is night and day. Using the ETC button in the truck sort of fixes the throttle response but you have to hit that button every time. The ECT button doesn't fix the dumb shift logic and the OTT tune addresses that. The extra power the OTT tune is nice but for me it addressed my two complaints about the truck, the lack of throttle response and the dumb transmission shift logic.
How do you go back to your stock tune if you want too? Would you have to pay another $500, and find the same tuner that has the copy of your original tune?
Your local tuner that installed the tune would have to remove it. I would think this would be done free of charge. The OTT tune isn't like some other more expensive tunes where you also have a device or cable where you can install and uninstall the tune by yourself.
@@aaronlabeau got the Tune yesterday in Raleigh, NC. Starting with Mild/Medium. I now see what you mean by linear throttle response. Nice drive back to Winston Salem. Didn’t feel the need to try out Medium at all. Appreciate your insight in the video.
That’s how mine felt then I bought a 5.0 coyote problem fixed 😂 jk love my taco btw mine is a 2wd had my cousin ride with me says it feels way faster than his it’s a 4x4 actually two people said that
Hey I love the setup and kinda want the same. Do you have a lift on it and is the tires the same size as the other videos 265/70/17? Please see this so I can stop being so indecisive on my research to build my truck 😂
Yep I'm still on the same wheels and tires setup. My truck is the Off Road and I'm still on the stock suspension. I get a little rubbing on the fender flare on big bumps that compress the suspension but it's very minor with the trimming tweaks I've done in my other video. I have no rubbing when turning the wheels lock to lock either on the cab mount or the fender flare. I need to lift it.
It's changing the tuning on your factory computer so you have to be willing to accept any risks with doing that. That said OTT going though the efforts of CARB testing their tune which is a rigorous and expensive process. I've had many cars tuned by qualified professionals over the years and haven't thought twice about it. OTT is where I put my money for my Tacoma.

I test drove a 21 OR and the lag on the acceleration was very noticeable. The truck just felt like it had very little power and top end speed. Does the OTT fix all that? As in it gives it more noticeable power and top end speed?
@@benito6543 if you floor it you get full power. You can also press the ECT button and that brings back the linear throttle.
@@aaronlabeau compared to before you had the OTT is there a big difference? Thanks for your reply brotha
@@benito6543 The throttle response difference with the OTT tune is night and day. Using the ETC button in the truck sort of fixes the throttle response but you have to hit that button every time. The ECT button doesn't fix the dumb shift logic and the OTT tune addresses that. The extra power the OTT tune is nice but for me it addressed my two complaints about the truck, the lack of throttle response and the dumb transmission shift logic.
How do you go back to your stock tune if you want too? Would you have to pay another $500, and find the same tuner that has the copy of your original tune?
Your local tuner that installed the tune would have to remove it. I would think this would be done free of charge. The OTT tune isn't like some other more expensive tunes where you also have a device or cable where you can install and uninstall the tune by yourself.
My tuner said unlimited free reflashes and he'll put it back to stock if need be
@@ericd1632you mean your tuner said they’d remove it and reapply it free of charge?
@@vrobro783 Correct
Who does this service? The dealer? What is cost?
The link to overland taylor tune is in the video description.
I may have missed this, but what is your non ect flavor, lite, mild or medium?
Mild and spicy
@@aaronlabeau got the Tune yesterday in Raleigh, NC. Starting with Mild/Medium. I now see what you mean by linear throttle response. Nice drive back to Winston Salem. Didn’t feel the need to try out Medium at all. Appreciate your insight in the video.
@@rpopempire4053 agreed, I've rarely used the spicy response because I was so happy with the mild.
@@rpopempire4053That's where I'm going to get mine done tomorrow after work. I'm in the Fayetteville area
So how much hp did it gain?
Never mind just saw it 😂
For anyone wanting not to jump to 11:26 in the video it's 7.7 HP and 9.3 ft-lb on 87 octane.
That’s how mine felt then I bought a 5.0 coyote problem fixed 😂 jk love my taco btw mine is a 2wd had my cousin ride with me says it feels way faster than his it’s a 4x4 actually two people said that
Gave your vid a thumbs up and it didn’t show up FYI
Hey I love the setup and kinda want the same. Do you have a lift on it and is the tires the same size as the other videos 265/70/17? Please see this so I can stop being so indecisive on my research to build my truck 😂
Yep I'm still on the same wheels and tires setup. My truck is the Off Road and I'm still on the stock suspension. I get a little rubbing on the fender flare on big bumps that compress the suspension but it's very minor with the trimming tweaks I've done in my other video. I have no rubbing when turning the wheels lock to lock either on the cab mount or the fender flare. I need to lift it.
Just get a manual with the OTT , best thing ever
Is the tune wort for a manual transmission?
The OTT gives you 25 more horsepower and 25 more lb ft of torque.
This product won't damage anything in my tacoma?
It's changing the tuning on your factory computer so you have to be willing to accept any risks with doing that. That said OTT going though the efforts of CARB testing their tune which is a rigorous and expensive process. I've had many cars tuned by qualified professionals over the years and haven't thought twice about it. OTT is where I put my money for my Tacoma.
@@papidonaldotrumpo I had extensive back and forth messages with the owners over all of these points.
