I just had my 2023 trd pro done today. I went with the mild/medium, which I think is perfect for me at least. It definitely improved the gear hunting, but my biggest surprise was the power increase. 100% worth it
I’m running mild/medium with a 3” lift and 33’s. The power difference and transmission tuning is the real deal. My truck feels faster than it did stock with heavy 33’s. The fact that my truck doesn’t gear hunt anymore and is actually in the correct gear makes drivability so amazing. Only reason I would increase to medium/spicy would be if I went up to 35” tires. Best upgrade I’ve done to my truck.
I just had it installed and already love it with the standard tune! In the beginning, the pedal felt like a normal car vs a stock Taco! Later on, a few times I forgot and had a heavy foot. It lurched forward like it was sensitive! Then I took it up a hill and that’s when I see a huge difference!
Unless your running a different compression ratio on the tacoma you get nothing out of premium gas. The octane rating is based on the compression in which the engine ignites fuel and dispels gases. To each their own, but gas is gas unless its trash fuel.
I'm researching now on what to go with. I have a 23 with 5.2 k on the clock. Truck is stock, I don't tow, I don't offroad. it's my daily driver. I average 20 to 21 mpg. About 330 per tank. I do want more power and better drivability. Extra MPG would be good.
Yah! I’ve been waiting for this video! Great job I love it! I am very happy with my tune and honestly checking on what tune I received lol! I just went with what was the best for my truck, trusted my tuner Q who in my opinion is the best and went with what he tuned my truck too! Thank you for your video it answered a lot of questions and I’m happy for you!! My only gripe, that doesn’t have to do with the tune is I’m only getting 256 miles on a full tank! Is that not normal and is there any suggestion you have to help with that? Love your videos always! Thank you!
Hi Pam! I responded to the other comment you left earlier about your fuel range. What type of fuel are you running? You’re not the first person I’ve seen comment about how their truck only seems to get in the mid 200s when it comes to mileage range on a full tank of gas… I’ve read some articles about it and some people think it’s the way certain Tacoma’s were essentially manufactured. However, it’s really hard to tell and know how accurate those claims are.. to be honest I’m not doing anything special outside of running premium fuel and driving pretty conservatively all things considered on a daily basis when I do drive my truck. Always appreciate you commenting and providing your feedback! One of these days we will definitely have to meet up👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco I’m sorry, I forgot I asked you this earlier. I was running 91 and was told buy other Tacoma owners I work with I don’t need to run 91 it’s belt for 87 🙄 ok so I went to 89 and the truck seamed to fill more smooth, if that makes any sense, maybe in my head and then went to 87 recently and the truck handles very nice. Lighter and mire smooth to me. Either way my miles per full tank were always 256 no matter what octane I was running 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏽♀️.

@@pamlucchino4878 no worries!😂 just wanted to make sure that you knew I had gotten your other message and responded back to you. That is interesting. How many miles do you currently have on your Tacoma? And what year is your Tacoma?
@westcoasttaco hi how are you? I am hoping to see Q tonight to upgrade to Mild/medium I think, he told me he had an update I might really enjoy. How are you liking your new tune? Still loving it? Would you recommend me going up a notch? I won’t do Medium/Spicy I think that is just way too much for me lol! I hope you are still loving it!
The engine has less power with 91 because the gas is rated for higher compression engine. Your taco engine isn’t high compression. the gas isn’t any better then the regular one. The numbness just indicate how much compression the gas can withstand before it explodes. You don’t need 91 in your taco. It’s not going to have any benefit and actually will worsen the performance because 91 needs higher compression. Even in the manual it states that the engine should be run with regular.
@@chrisking6695 you can run what the manual says. There is no need to run premium. However this tune has two octane maps. One is for lower octane and one for higher octane. The high octane map can adapt the timing to take advantage of up to 95 octane. Justin the co-owner of Overland Tuning leaves many interesting comments on TacomaWorld. From piecing together information from his comments and some other users, it appears that the 3.5 likes higher octane fuel. From my personal experience my Tacoma likes premium fuel. It makes a noticeable positive difference in smoothness and power. In his words it's up to you if it's worth the cost of admission.
@chrisking6695 My truck is stock with no tune. I tried premium, mid grade and 87. The truck seemed to run best with 87. With premium it knocked a little bit. So yes 87 is the best for this platform it seems.
I just bought a 2023 Tacoma SR5 and I'm thinking about getting the Ott tune I will probably get the mild. Just wondering if there's any information out there on how it affects the warranty, and I bought the $100,000 mile extended warranty as well
The warranty is a concern many people have. Essentially anything Toyota can typically use to not uphold a warranty they will try to use as an escape route. However I have yet to find one Tacoma owner that had their truck tuned and had warranty issues. Here’s a short video of me talking with an Overland Tailor Tuner about warranty concerns.ruclips.net/user/shortsxrU_VtNrWEg?si=BVIxJfl6GC17-25t
Ok so now that you have tried the medium/spicy, and like it much better, I’m thinking that’s for me too, because I’m very light on the throttle also, so the extra sensitivity would be good! I am getting a beefy front bumper, and side steps, and a snug top bed cap, and I do tow occasionally, would the med/spicy be good for me too?
@@rstumbaugh43 yep, I think you would like the med/spicy as well. You tuner will let you try different flavors before you leave so don’t worry about that too much.👍🏼
I only use 91 on my stock '21. The owner's manual says to use 87 octane or higher. So I use higher. I notice a difference going from 87 to 91 with power and 1L/100 km less fuel use. I tried 93 for half a year but noticed no improvement over 91.
what motivated your decision to move from light/mild to the medium/spicy? Anything in particular you didn’t like about the first set up? Any pointers to help us decide on the best setting possible for everyday driving? Just like you I’m easy on the truck and after watching your video I was almost convinced that the light/mild would be the right set up for me. However after reading that you stepped it up a notch or two I started second guessing. Thanks in advance
I was planning to keep the light/mild.. however, when I did a video at one of the tuning events, the tuner wanted me to try going up a couple of flavors and wanted to see if I liked it.. so I agreed and I got used to it and now I really like the sensitivity. Especially since I have a very light foot on the pedal.. I would probably say for someone who has a stock setup and is looking for an every day driver setting the mild/medium will probably be perfect for you.. when you get the tune the tuner can let you try out different settings to make sure you’re happy before you leave.. so don’t sorry about having to choose a flavor blindly👍🏼
Awesome. Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I’ll definitely try a couple of settings then. I’ll start with the mild/medium. If I like it, I’ll stop there and if I find it too much for my driving style I’ll have the tuner downgrade me to light/mild. I like the exhaust quietness at low speeds with the stock tune. I don’t really enjoy a loud exhaust from the engine reving high constantly. From the videos I’ve watched the spicier flavors seem to cause that louder effect. Another quick question I would like to clarify if you don’t mind, the flavor level only affects throttle sensitivity and everything else stays the same across all flavor levels correct? In other words, are the transmission shift points impacted by the flavor you choose? Sorry to bother you with all these questions, but we don’t have a local tuner that’s does OTT in my area and I have to wait for the next meet event in May. I want to make sure I educate myself as much as possible to get the best setting possible for my driving style and avoid having to wait for another meet event to make any a changes. Cheers.
@@fernandoballard7591 no worries at all! And yes, I believe what you’re stating is correct about the throttle sensitivity yet the shift points remain the same regardless of the flavors. At the end of the day I have no doubt this will probably be the best upgrade you do to your truck because I can say now after having it for one year that it is for me. You will notice the exhaust isn’t that much louder, it just sounds less muted, and dampened.. it honestly just sounds like the way you would envision the truck driving from the factory.. how much of a difference a tune makes when it comes to overall drivability, performance, and new satisfaction of the Tacoma is pretty outstanding. Looking forward to hearing how your experience goes and what you think of the tune.

Anyone running 285/70R17’s with the medium/spicy. I do have a bed rack and occasionally have the tent mounted. I was thinking medium/spicy because of the weight I already have on the vehicle. Any thoughts?
@LTADI: Spicy or Super Spicy on your TRD Pro 6MT? My tuner set my 2023 TRD OR 6MT on Super Spicy first yesterday. But too sensitive, drop it to Spicy, I luv my Tacoma. Y’all know, settings on manual and automatics are different.😉
I get between 11.5-16 depending on octane . I have a lot of stuff on my truck though: 3” lift, fast bags on rear, 33’s, Cbi steel front bumper, Uptop rack, molle panels in bed, and extra batteries, and switching system. But I’ve never gotten better than 17 ever…
@@Aglassact77 hmm..🤔 interesting.. there have been several other owners that have had similar experiences as you.. I don’t have any special steps I take with the truck to get my mpgs.. I use premium fuel and the truck is tuned.. that’s about it.
Ive got lite/mild and its such a touchy throttle at low speed. Pretty damn twitchy trying to drive around parking lots/garages or parking. Gonna try dropping to lite and see how it goes. Its like lightly press pedal, nothing, nothing, then it knocks your head back suddenly.
@@jossuemorales8920 I got 9.01 lite mild today and it was a little smoother, but I took another step down to lite- throttle and it seems better so far. Gotta let it break in a bit to know for sure.
@@TN1000W Heh i got so used to being so light on the pedal that in my other car when I haven't driven it for a while I'm like why am I not moving... have to move the throttle easily 3-4x more travel in my old honda. What I had with lite/mild was so touchy that it was nerve wracking to park or navigate tight parking garages in the city. Backing into a parallel parking space gently feathering in throttle and it moves slightly slightly more nothing and then suddenly it's like you floored it. It's touchy enough that the jerk of the truck moving suddenly then moves your foot and gives you either less or more throttle so it's really sensitive. The couple times I've taken it for service I can see the tech looking confused when they hop in my truck to drive it away and get their head knocked into the seat just touching the throttle to move it into a bay... I don't know if my experience is unusual but I can't see how anyone could daily drive mild unless they are heavily loaded. Using the ECT mode with lite/mild it was so touchy that it just spun the wheels trying to turn out of a stop sign at low speeds. Highway was fine and an improvement but in town in 1st or 2nd gear was fairly unpleasant. I gave it a couple thousand miles and had it reflashed to something less touchy.
@@westcoasttaco lite-mild is perfect for my set up (33s and 3inch suspension lift) its my daily… not adding more weight on it…. I load -unloaded my camping gears when i go overlanding.
Lite Minus. I spend a fair amount time sitting in traffic and it's almost exactly like stock, but still it has a more aggressive throttle curve than stock. Lite can be quite jumpy at low speeds.
After spending time witch each flavor, Lite Minus is like a normal driving truck. Good if you have no extra weight. It has a flat acceleration curve. Lite is beefed with a more aggressive take-off and a pronounced acceleration curve. Mild and up are sport mode. The spicier tunes' throttle feed nicely into the shift logic. Basically the truck shifts better and drives better with more throttle.

It might, a lot of it depends on your driving style.. I drive with a lighter foot and enjoy the enhanced throttle sensitivity/responsiveness of the medium/spicy. Some might consider it too jumpy.

Unless your running a different compression ratio on the tacoma you get nothing out of premium gas. The octane rating is based on the compression in which the engine ignites fuel and dispels gases. To each their own, but gas is gas unless its trash fuel.

Premium runs smoother, there is less effort keeping speed. The engine doesn't labor as hard. I can feel some spark knock with 87 octane gas.

@@jossuemorales8920 I got 9.01 lite mild today and it was a little smoother, but I took another step down to lite- throttle and it seems better so far. Gotta let it break in a bit to know for sure.
@@TN1000W Heh i got so used to being so light on the pedal that in my other car when I haven't driven it for a while I'm like why am I not moving... have to move the throttle easily 3-4x more travel in my old honda.
What I had with lite/mild was so touchy that it was nerve wracking to park or navigate tight parking garages in the city. Backing into a parallel parking space gently feathering in throttle and it moves slightly slightly more nothing and then suddenly it's like you floored it. It's touchy enough that the jerk of the truck moving suddenly then moves your foot and gives you either less or more throttle so it's really sensitive. The couple times I've taken it for service I can see the tech looking confused when they hop in my truck to drive it away and get their head knocked into the seat just touching the throttle to move it into a bay...
I don't know if my experience is unusual but I can't see how anyone could daily drive mild unless they are heavily loaded. Using the ECT mode with lite/mild it was so touchy that it just spun the wheels trying to turn out of a stop sign at low speeds.
Highway was fine and an improvement but in town in 1st or 2nd gear was fairly unpleasant. I gave it a couple thousand miles and had it reflashed to something less touchy.
@@jossuemorales8920how can I find out what the current version is? I had OTT done in March of '23. Is there a new version since then?
I got my ott. Does toyota service reset my ecu when i take it to routine maintenance service
Nice! How are you liking it? They shouldn’t flash the ECU.. especially if your truck is newer.
@@westcoasttaco lite-mild is perfect for my set up (33s and 3inch suspension lift) its my daily… not adding more weight on it….
I load -unloaded my camping gears when i go overlanding.
Lite Minus. I spend a fair amount time sitting in traffic and it's almost exactly like stock, but still it has a more aggressive throttle curve than stock. Lite can be quite jumpy at low speeds.
After spending time witch each flavor, Lite Minus is like a normal driving truck. Good if you have no extra weight. It has a flat acceleration curve. Lite is beefed with a more aggressive take-off and a pronounced acceleration curve. Mild and up are sport mode. The spicier tunes' throttle feed nicely into the shift logic. Basically the truck shifts better and drives better with more throttle.

Anybody have the medium/spicy tune? Thinking about going down to mild/medium because mine is too jumpy
Why does the thumb nail say race? You make people think you have 0-60 times for each tune.. this is click bait
@@user-du4id1tv1p “Race” is a tune setting you can get. Lite, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Super Spicy, and Race are all throttle control settings.
I have a long bed Tacoma with 33 tires and suspension lift. Would medium/spicy work better for me?
It might, a lot of it depends on your driving style.. I drive with a lighter foot and enjoy the enhanced throttle sensitivity/responsiveness of the medium/spicy. Some might consider it too jumpy.
Did you run 93 before tune?
I did, I have ran 91 since I pretty much got the truck👍🏼
Does the OTT tune affect Radar and Manual Cruise Control?
It does affect it, but in a good way.
My truck is 100% on 93 runs so much better
OTT is Like Ky jelly and pedal commander is like peanut butter
So what about pb&j?
@@rosskinnecom1274 KDMAX
OTT is better@@JuanManuel-fm9jt
Is there a place in Minnesota doing OTT?
Yes, there are a few locations. Here’s a link to a map: overlandtailor.com/retailer-locations
