Pedal commander vs Sprint booster?

Got it, thanks for that great reply ! I forgot it can be turned off. I was thinking to just set it then coil up the wire and store it in the glove compartment. But if one wants to turn it off like that, yes it should be accessible, for sure !

Yes, some do that. Set it and forget it, and if you don’t want to see the little cool display, unplug, coil up and keep in glove compartment. It doesn’t need to stay plugged in.

thanks I will keep a eye out.
 
I talked with Jason today and ordered the Sprint Booster. Cant wait for it to get here. If you havent dealt with Jason I highly recommend you give him a call. He will steer you in the right direction and heck he even talked pricing for parts for our Tundra. Give him a call, you will not regret it !
 
Pedal Commander

I put the Pedal Commander on my 2016 SR5. It performed very well. I had it on for awhile and then I got a check engine light. I check it and got a p2121 code. I reset it and it went out but came back on. P2121 is a accelerator pedal position, or APP, sensor error code. So I took the Pedal Commander off and reset it. No more code. The Pedal Commander worked but I don't want the code.
 
I ordered a Pedal Commander per a few friends who said its the first thing you should get when you buy a 4R. So I did. I had it on the 4R for three weeks. It performed exactly as advertised. I have zero complaints. Then I went off road and I hated it. While the throttle is great on the street having more pep, I didn't care for the loss of control off road. To each his own of course.

I took the PC off and was worried I would hate the street feeling. For the first couple of days the 4R did feel sluggish. Then, it felt normal to me again and I returned the PC.

When I look back at the experience, I can see why these are popular gadgets but I cannot see myself doing something like this again for three reasons.

1. Poor off road performance in my opinion. Even on lowest settings.
2. This should be under $100. Nearly $300 is way overpriced IMO.
3. If you go to the wrong dealer for service they could give you a hassle. Sure you can remove the PC easily but I really don't want to do that.

As I said, I believe the product performed exactly as advertised and PC gave me no issues with returning it. It just wasn't for me. I don't find the 4R sluggish at all. It only seems like I did after listening to what other people told me. Something to think about. YMMV

Cheers

Why didn’t you just turn it off when you went off road?? It’s not something you need to use all the time. I wouldn’t use it in snowy conditions or off road, but on road, especially the highway, it’s great.

Maybe that’s an issue with the PC? I’ve had no codes with my sprint booster. Did you wait 10 minutes with the engine off, key out of the vehicle and door open before installing? Did you make sure that you didn’t have your foot on the accelerator while changing settings?

I couldn’t agree more with this. I tried one out and really liked it at first. But then I decided that it just isn’t worth the price tag. It was great on dry pavement, but it was too much for snowy/ icy roads. It is being sent back in the mail tomorrow.

I did once I learned I didn’t care for it off road. Then after having it off a while I realized I didn’t need it and $300 could go a long way on something else more important.
 
Just ordered a Sprint Booster from Jason but I had a couple of questions before I ordered. This is Sunday night and I he called me back right away and answered my questions! That's great customer service!
 
So am I understanding this right? With the pedal commander, you have to "activate it" every time you start the truck but with the sprint booster it remember where you left it and it's a one time deal? I definitely do not want something that I have to turn on every time I get in. If I order one or the other, I want to set it up, hide the control in the glove box, and forget it's there.
 
It seems counter-intuitive.......but I am getting a mile and a half better gas mileage with the PC set on Sport 4 than stock!? I would not drive a 4Runner without it now, and I am the most skeptical B@#$%!D I know!
