    I am the Owner of the Lunar Rock Long Bed in The Video. I Have been into Cars for amost my whole Life. More than 55 years. I Grew up in a Shop my Dad was a Master Mechanic. I run with the Best Oil for an Oil Change. This Truck had an Oil Change at 1000 miles I take Care of My Vehicles. If The KDMAX TUNE Out Performed the OTT Tune I would be Running it. All this Dave didnt know? Are we Implying that if he knew I would have gotten a Different Tune? And the Results would have been Different? I had my Choice of Tune at NO COST. NO COST TO ME. and I Chose the OTT Tune. You can like it or Not Dave does not Own this Truck and Does not have to Drive it Every day. We Do. OTT Baby

    I have OTT on my 23 Tacoma SR5. Mild/medium. Its much smoother. It shifts way less so I actually think it will last longer. If you think about it having more down low is better. The engine isn't having to rev way up as much to get you up to speed. I am getting better MPG now. I can actually cruise up hill at 80-85mph in 6th gear.

  • @jasonyoung615

    I've been running the Toyowerx tune for the last 5k miles on my 3rd Gen. Better than stock for sure, but the initial throttle jerk just wears on you with constantly having to manage the throttle. Got the OTT mild/ light tune and it really is more refined. No throttle jerk. No lag. Smooth crisp shifts. Having paid for and used both I would recommend OTT to any 3rd Gen Tacoma driver.

    I had Paul from OTT tunes tune my 22 off road last year up in Redmond Oregon and it has been a huge upgrade. You still need to get on the throttle and get a downshift to increase speed instead of torquing on but overall the drivability is increased. The shift timings are way more user friendly and more real world, I live in a very mountainous area and after the truck got broke in and re learned I was very impressed overall, totally worth it.

    I went with the KDMax sport (33s/4:88s) i felt it was to touchy off the line. Was in Ontario Ca. in the rain & noticed i had to be EXTREMELY careful pulling away from the light or the tires would break loose on the painted part of the intersections. Had it knocked down to the "normal" its good, overall I've been happy BUT i do notice the slight jumpiness taking off & experience an odd shift now & then. I am considering switching over to the OTT & giving them a shot.

      Dyno tuning leaves such a limited window for comparing something like these two tunes.. The drivability and improved torque modeling is at all throttle positions, not just at WOT, so it needs to be felt in person to fully understand the level of refinement these guys are talking about.

    I have a 2022 tacoma trd sport 4x4 stock tires and lift. From the factory the performance was a major let down from a V8. I had the Kd max tune (sport throttle settings) on the truck within the first month. I has been on the truck over 18 months now. I personally i like that you dont have to stop the pedal for the truck to start moving. No more gear searching . It will hold a gear longer when it feels like it needs to. Specially when hauling a trailer. I normally get 22mpgs hwy 65-70, 19 mpgs 75-80, and 12 mpgs when hauling a loaded trailer. I have not tired the OTT tune.

  • @papidonaldotrumpo
    @papidonaldotrumpo Год назад +3

    The largest difference between OTT and KD is how VVT-iW is configured. Stock tune and KD run modified Atkinson cycle from 0-3800 rpm. OTT decides not to run modified Atkinson cycle until cruising at highway speed. This is the main reason why OTT feels so different. It is literally injecting more fuel than the others. The next largest difference is shifting. OTT retains stock-like shift patterns while KD raises shift point to predetermined levels. Next is the throttle. OTT's offerings seem smoother. KD's Lite is fine, Normal and Sport are quite touchy.

    • @scooter9023
      @scooter9023 Год назад +1

      Yeah the shift points with KDMax, while better than stock, got really annoying. My truck would NOT shift into 4th until 47mph, no matter what. And the normal throttle setting was sensitive and choppy down low.

    I have a question though on the video. It looks like the first guy you guys went to wasn't aware of what you guys were doing? The second guy looked like he did a ride along before and after with an extensive interview. Is there any footage of the kdmax guy doing his ride alongside that we can see? Just curious on the full story. Almost seems like a paid advertisement for the second company. I like to do a lot of research before I make a purchase for my truck and still not convinced. Sorry just my view on the video. Thanks.

    • @westcoasttaco
      @westcoasttaco  Год назад +3

      Appreciate your feedback! Dave, as I mentioned in the video was very polite and professional. However he doesn’t have any experience with tuning both OTT and KD.. so a drive along wouldn’t have made a difference because the video was about the tune, not the tuner/tuners.. When I let Dave know that the point of the video was to compare the KDMax and the OTT his answer was “oh okay, yeah sounds good”. The reason we took Q for a test drive was because he was a former KDMax tuner and brought a lot of knowledge by being able to explain issues that Ray was having and a lot of his other former KDMax clients experienced before switching to OTT. Since I have never ran the KDMax tune before on my personal truck, I am trying to get information from others that have.. I will be working on another video soon where I will be interviewing several Tacoma owners that previously ran the KDMax and switched to the OTT.. I can’t find anyone who switched from the OTT to the KDMax… I want to know why and see if they indeed had similar experiences and do they miss the KDMax tune in their trucks. I think one very important thing some people are looking past, is that this video wasn’t about Dave or Q.. it’s about Ray and his review of the tunes.. this video cost me $600.00 to make.. so definitively no paid advertising here… as well as close to 20-30hrs of my time in creating/editing the video.. this channel is here and dedicated to helping Tacoma owners make wise and informed decisions on how to get the most out of their Tacomas.. I won’t give a good review on a product I don’t believe in.. but I won’t trash it either.. I will highlight the good points, but give an honest assessment on which product is better and why I believe so.. for this video, it was Rays turn to do that. That’s why my channel is different.. it’s not just my feedback and thoughts.. it’s a platform for other Tacoma owners as well. 🤙🏼

    Appreciate the in depth and informative comparison video! I currently drive a 22’ Lunar Rock OR (similar to Ray’s) and treated my Taco with the KDMax Sport tune rt before Christmas 😂.
    Since the KDMax comes in 4 flavors… Lite, Normal-Lite, Normal, and Sport, maybe their “Sport” is comparable to the OTT “Race” where the pedal response and shifting is aggressive and does not feel as smooth as the OTT Mild/Medium? I’m wondering if Ray had one of the milder KDMax tune instead of their Sport, it would ride similar to the OTT Mild/Medium?
    For the record, OTT tune was the consensus by majority of owners on Tacoma forums and Reddit. After seeing this video, I’m wondering if I should tune down to one of the less aggressive tunes so it rides similar to the OTT Mild/Medium.

    Thanks for making the comparison vid even tho I already knew OTT is better Definitely improves the performance of the truck. But really felt the difference going to 5.29 gears. Now the truck holds power. When it had stock gears and the OTT tune, It will still down shift going up a hill or trying to pass a car on the highway and it will hold the gear in high rpm’s. But now with the 5.29 gears and the tune I could be going up a hill and it will keep me in the same gear just with more acceleration and power with out having to down shift. Currently on 285/70/17 planing on going true 35s later down the road.

      I need to chime in here.. I have a 2020 MTPro, and have been working with our local tuner in Canada with giving my feedback on basically every tune thats been available.. I will say, that his video is extremely accurate with every detail they spoke about. you really want the OTT, and in a manual you want the light throttle setting. The direct drive element in a MT requires you to be more dilligent on keeping your foot steady to not have a jerky pedal and a lungy feel.. The latest manual update is by far the best I have had with any tune to date. I just currently installed a Magnuson and the OTT tune.... all I can say is it is, the Holy grail..!

    I’ve had the KDMax for about 6 months.
    Everything was great, but I do agree that that acceleration from a stop position was way jumpy. I had middle tuned with it.
    I just got the latest update (Sept. 2023) and it doesn’t jump off the line now. The tuner said the update fixed that and supposedly improved the MPG.
    I can vouch for the acceleration fix but I see no difference with my mpg. I’ve had the updated LDMax for around 2 months now.
    I would love to test out the OTT. Wish there was trial/test run or even a deal for changing tunes.
    After the money spent, it’s hard to spend that amount again for a different tune which may or may be better.

    What about gas mileage? What is the difference for city and hwy mpg? Are either tunes better than stock?
    How does altitude impact the tune and mpg?

    • @westcoasttaco
      @westcoasttaco  Год назад

      City mpg won’t change much, highway MPGs can potentially increase due to the vehicles tendency to gear hunt less, thus staying in a higher more efficient gear on freeway/highway cruising. They increased for me.. also the fuel blend during the winter contains less energy than summer blends thus can reduce power and thusly affect MPGs as well.
      Proper maintenance should never be looked over, clean air filters, good quality gas, good tire pressures, clean air flow sensors, reducing and carrying unnecessary weight, not “racing around” etc.
      One thing Ray did say in this video is that both tunes were hands down better than stock. But that he felt the OTT was more refined and performed better.
      Lastly for altitude, I can’t speak from experience, but I would assume depending on how high you were traveling there would be some differences compared to being lower in elevation. Hope this helps you out.🤙🏼

      I’m averaging anywhere from 18 to 21 miles to the gallon with the OTT on my truck on the highway. Since he only did a week with each tune, it was hard to get the differences with the mpg’s… my guess is that both tuned probably provide the same increase in fuel efficiency.

    • @westcoasttaco
      @westcoasttaco  Год назад +8

      In all honesty, Dave, as I mentioned in the video was very polite and professional. However when I asked him questions about the tune, it’s development and testings behind it.. his answers, unfortunately were not very insightful.. they were brief, and he seemed slightly uncomfortable about talking too much in-depth about these popular topics. I did my best to make his part of the video flow naturally.. When I let him know that the point of the video was to compare the KDMax and the OTT his answer was “oh okay, yeah sounds good”. Q, being a former KDMax tuner brought a lot of knowledge and details as to why a lot of people had stopped running the KDMax and switched over. I have yet to find one Tacoma owner that ran a OTT that switched over to the KDMax.. Q also brings more to the table because he understands how both work.. he’s tuned for both companies, ran both tunes on his personal truck, and sees the results that Tacoma owners want. It wouldn’t make sense for him to stand behind OTT, if KDmax was the best tune on the market. When searching across Tacoma forums the vast majority of Tacoma owners that have the OTT highly recommend it over the KDMax and many of them were previously running the KD. In fact on every forum or page I’ve seen, OTT is favored by a landslide. However, since I had never driven a KDMax tuned truck I wanted to do a video that allowed a 3rd party Tacoma owner to do a review on his truck with no tune experience in order to give a raw scenario that provided accurate and honest feedback for its viewers. This video cost me around $600.00 to make.. and I received nothing for that from either KD or OTT.. the purpose of the video wasn’t to tear down KDMax.. the purpose of the video was to help Tacoma owners make the best decision possible when it comes to which tune will most likely be the one that they will be satisfied with the first go around... no more.. no less.. I do appreciate your feedback and insight as it will help me make better content in the future 👍🏼🤙🏼.

Your videos have been enough to ease my concerns about the warranty and convince me to get the tune. My reason for wanting the tune is for no lag with throttle response and just have the smooth and seamless shift responses as what should be normal. My driving is normal daily commuting and no off roading or towing, just the tune to make what is all ways an enjoyable experience with the Tacoma even more pleasurable.

I don't know why the 3rd gen tacomas were so bad from factory. They constantly gear hunt and when accelerating, as soon as you hit 3rd gear it was liked somebody suddenly put a 4cyl engine in your truck. On a side note everyone should be aware of the danger with the keyless entry. They are cloning keyfobs and stealing cars (happened to my daughter).

Dave didn’t even know this was a comparison video, and was given no chance to respond to any of the allegations made by the competition or to the customer’s concerns. This whole video is completely consistent with OTT’s underhanded marketing strategy, which focuses completely on smearing the competition rather than promoting their own product.

      At the end of the day it all comes down to what Ray liked more and how he compared the two tunes.. I could have made this a 5 min a video.. having Ray drive the KDMax and then the OTT on his truck and have had neither tuner in the video… yet, I truly believe the results would not have changed at all. Also I let Dave know we were doing a video comparing the two tunes. I asked both tuners the same questions.. Q was more thorough on his responses and has more tuning experience.. he’s been thorough every time I’ve interviewed him. As mentioned in the video, he used to tune KDMax before OTT.. so his knowledge on both tunes and how they compare are heightened compared to someone who has only tuned KDMax. If KDMax was better why would he have gone to the OTT? The results speak for themselves.. Every time I asked Dave a question, the answer was brief and didn’t provide a lot of depth or detail..I also mentioned that Dave was professional and complimented his company well. I wish Dave and the KDMax team the very best, but the results weren’t based off of my thoughts or experiences.. that’s why I brought in Ray who had zero experience with tunes.. in-fact I didn’t even drive Rays truck until the day he got the OTT because I wanted his experience with the KDMax tune to be completely his opinion and his alone. Like any competition there could only be one winner.. the numbers across the board on where the majority of Tacoma owners stand when it comes to Tunes speaks for itself. My goal is to help Tacoma owners make wise and informed decisions before they spend a significant amount of money on their trucks.. making the Tacoma the best that it can be..

    I’m a little curious as to how the tunes were paid for and how much was charged for each tune.
    When I asked earlier about cost this was your response “I would check with your local tuner for pricing as they may vary.. but for here in San Diego, it was $450 for the KDMax and $500.00 for the OTT.”
    And when reading through the various comments you mentioned at least twice you paid $600 to make this video. I assume that was for mainly tune cost KDMAX and OTT.
    You quote….
    “I think one very important thing some people are looking past, is that this video wasn’t about Dave or Q.. it’s about Ray and his review of the tunes.. this video cost me $600.00 to make.. so definitively no paid advertising here…”
    If the cost was $450 KDMAX and $500 OTT then tunes alone would have been $950 minimum?
    Did KDMAX or OTT cut you a discount for the tunes? That wouldn’t seem fair or “Apple to Apple”.
    I don’t know but some things in the video along with what you’ve stated (more than once so seems not accidental) seems slanted towards OTT and as a paid or at least slanted towards them as a favorite before the video was made.
    Why wasn’t Dave of KDMAX given the same heads up and a comparison ride along to critique OTT performance? Ask the customer questions “you feel that hesitation or lag”.
    It seems to be another Competitor testing it main competitor tune to sway public opinions.
    Just saying……

    • @westcoasttaco

      John, I appreciate you reaching out.. My guess is that you are apart of the KDMax Tuning team? Looks like you are located in Vancleave, MS according to your Facebook page?? Your not looking for answers.. which is what the majority of my viewers want from my videos.. your looking for an excuse as to why Ray chose the OTT over the KDMax tune.
      We can go round and round all day.. but that won't solve anything for you. The reason Ray chose the OTT and countless others have chosen the OTT over the KDMax seems to have a common reason behind it.. and it's because of the difference in performance and drivability that the OTT offers compared to KDMax. I personally have no quarrel with the KDMax team.. However, the fact that a few commenters (that seem to be tied to KDMax), can't accept that the owner of his own truck can't make an honest statement and decision about which tune he prefers seems very bothersome.. Ray has driven his truck with both the KDMax and OTT.. Have you???
      The truck belongs to Ray, he is the one driving it everyday.. not Dave, not Q, and not myself.. Having a tuner talk about their tune won't change the way the tune functions or affects the vehicles performance/drivability.. There's a reason the Tacoma is the number 1 selling mid-sized truck in America.. and it's not because of it's SALES REPS.. it's because of it's REPUTATION for being reliable, dependable, tested and proven right out of the box... The OTT has proven to be of similar caliber for Tacoma owners that have chosen this tune.. The reviewers/consumers will speak on behalf of products that work or don't work for them.. or which one out performs the other and explain why.. it's that simple.
      I have read countless articles and forums online about Tacoma owners that have had both tunes.. and all of the feedback I could find were in favor of the OTT. The results across the board speak for themselves... However, I personally had zero experience with the KDMax tune before doing this video, but I wanted to give KDMax a chance to see if the majority of Tacoma owners who had given their feedback were biased or misleading with these statements that favored OTT.
      I haven't seen one video that did what I did here with Ray.. and that was take both tunes.. put them on the same truck and have a third party individual (with no aftermarket tune expiernce) compare the two of them with no cost out of his pocket to make sure he wasn't swayed by costs or expenses.. Ray did everyone a favor.. he helped provide constructive criticism where the KDMax tune needs some refinement and helped Tacoma owners understand what he was feeling with both tunes and why he chose one over the other.
      If you feel that the KDMax tune is in fact better, I would be happy to host both tuners at a Dyno facility, as well as find a few other ways to allow third party reviewers to test both tunes, that haven't experienced either tune before.. I can make this as in-depth as you would like, Autos, Manuals... On Road.. Off Road.. you name it! Just let me know and I will be happy to coordinate. The ball is in KDMax's court.

If the take off was hurky jerky as you say than why not go back to KD max and see if it could be adjusted? Nor did you sit with the KD max technician in your truck like you did with OTT to understand your driving habits. If you are going to do a test at least set the same conditions and be fair. You know your buddy having OTT biased your decision to go with OTT. Also I am not biased to KDmax or OTT I am just making an observation when you do a comparison that you should set the testing standards exactly the same and not be biased one way or another.

    To be fair to KDMAX a true comparison would have been equally the same on all elements, test drive (each competitor ride along comparing the others tune and asking and answering questions), and cost (still not given an answer wether OTT was given at a discount price. I know KDMAX cost $450 leaving you $150 for the OTT tune. This is based on your stated $600 cost to make video).
    The only original complaint and Ray even mentioned that it wasn’t a gripe was the throttle response was a little peppy in traffic. If Dave would have have been given the chance to ride along he could and would have re-flashed to a more suitable setting. Even made a custom tune if necessary.
    Dave wasn’t afforded these same options that Quac was.
    So all I’m saying it wasn’t a complete and equal test or comparison.
    And then again if I’m getting a free tune from a guy already on OTT and friends either tuner and videoing those test I’d feel pressure to lean one way. Just being honest.

      John, I think all Tacoma owners that have had their tacos tuned can agree on one thing.. a tuned Tacoma is always better and happier than a stock tuned Tacoma.. However, how much better and how much happier depends on the tune that was installed on the truck.. and it seems to be the remaining question many Tacoma owners had.
      Here’s why I believe the tune was apples to apples.. and I want you to consider this for a moment.. Ray had zero experience with either tune/tuner. Both tunes were of no charge to him. He received pretty much the same exact throttle settings from both tuners based off of each tuners options (Dave didn’t install a custom tune and Q didn’t install a custom tune), and Ray had a week with each tune before making his decision.
      At the end of the day, “who paid what” is completely irrelevant.. as long as Ray didn’t pay for any of it. And the reason I stated that I contributed $600.00 to making this video was so that people could understand that I didn’t do this as “paid advertisement” for OTT. My goal was to provide answers to Tacoma owners who wanted a comparison of how the tunes really compared out of the box.. a raw review on what they would receive when getting the tune themselves. In fact I was curious myself having no experience with KDMax until now.
      Dave didn’t ask to come along for the test drive, if he would have asked, we would had loved to have him with us.. but if you watch the video you will notice that Ray was initially very impressed with the KDMax tune and was satisfied. However, after driving it for a week he started having issues with certain aspects of the tune.. you can actually see his head get kicked back a few times on the initial test drive, but like most drivers.. noticing these things can take a few days to set in as the “newness” wears off.. just like when we get our trucks off the lot.. after a few weeks we start to notice some significant shortcomings with the stock tune and look for aftermarket tune options/solutions..
      The reason Q came along for the test drive for both the KDMax and the OTT was because he wanted to be able to explain what was going on.. Q has something that Dave didn’t have.. and that was experience as a former KDMax tuner and experience as an OTT tuner.. Do you or Dave have experience in tuning OTT tunes? That’s why Q had more screen time.. viewers want to know why something is or isn’t doing something...
      When Dave was asked how the KDMax tune was developed and what was the background of the tune.. he said “OV Tune, yeah we did some dyno and our 50+ tuners get to try it out”.. for a viewer that doesn’t provide a ton of confidence.. when asking Q about the background of OTT his answer was in depth and very detailed on why they believe they are having such great success. They are also very transparent about dyno results and expanding on a foundation of tuners that come from a background in automotive performance before the VF Tuner software was really a thing.
      I think you kind of answered your own question about asking us if the OTT is really better and if Ray did get a fair experience… you feel like Dave didn’t get a fair chance to adjust the stock settings of a tune combination that is recommended for trucks that are more in a “stock” form.. Q didn’t get that opportunity either.. He installed the Mild/Medium and didn’t get to customize anything about that for Ray.. Ray and I met up a week later without Q and guess what??? Q didn’t get to adjust settings.. he didn’t need to.. the OTT tune that was installed and probably the most comparable in throttle settings to the “normal” setting Dave installed with KDMax Pro 10.0 was perfect right out of the box..
      Tacoma owners don’t want to have to go back and forth to tuners to have things adjusted over and over again.. they want a tune that is “plug and play”.. a tune that lets them enjoy their Tacomas to its full extent and capabilities the first go around.. and that’s what Ray found with the OTT. That’s it…
      I do appreciate your feedback as this platform is for all Tacoma owners to share their experiences with their Tacomas.. but I think I’ve been very thorough in this string of comments for both you and other fellow Tacoma owners that may have had questions on the making of this video.
      Once again, more than happy to do another video with dyno testings and even a manual tranny Taco. Have a few people wanting more in-depth reviews with a truck on a dyno and a manual tune comparison. Could be a great combo. Let me know and I’ll set it up!🤙🏼

    Definitely is a biased video… the whole video was managed by OTT.

      The whole video was managed by WCT. We thank Ray for giving his honest opinions after driving with both tunes on his truck.. Ray was able to keep either tune he wanted at no expense or additional benefits to him regardless of which tune he felt performed better on his truck. It's that simple...
