Sprint Booster SALE for 4th gen 4Runner, Limited time. Reduces delay of drive by wire

ive got the old model, it has 1 red setting, 1 green, 1 regular, does this newer model have more for each mode?

I’ve been thinking of trying this out in my 5th Gen because it’s a slug, but never once considered it for my 4th. To be honest I’m surprised it’s even being offered… really feel the 4th is dialed in pretty well.

I think it's a solution in search of a problem.

In my case, I didn't realize how lazy the pedal was on my '07 until the Sprint Booster was installed. Just figured it was normal SUV behavior for a vehicle this large, whereas my wife's smaller Mercury Mariner 3.0L V6 with cable-driven throttle was much more responsive.

Last week while at Assateague on the over-sand area, I disabled the Sprint Booster and left it that way after we came off and reinflated the tires. Had to pull over after a few miles and set it back to Green 5, the lazy throttle was just awful.

Remember, you don't have to mount anything if you don't want to! You can pre set it where you want, then remove the cord, like an aux cable and keep in your glovebox in case you ever want to change it down the road. Many do this, that don't want to mount the switch. It remembers the setting for life.

Thank jeebus I didn't know about this when I drove a Camry. Throttle response lag was unsafe in my opinion so I ditched it and ultimately got a 4runner. There's nowhere near the lag on my V8 as what I had in the Camry. I wonder...

I'm sure it would decreased mpg. There seems to be an inverse relationship between "fun to mash" rating and fuel economy. As one goes up the other goes down.

Doubt that it does, but does anyone know if this affect gas mileage either good or bad?

Good, good. Just got one for my uncle, 2007 4Runner now he loves me a little more he said, lol.

It just blows my mind how Toyota can send these trucks out like this, and same with 2010 - 2018 4Runner, those guys have same issue.

From another customer in another thread:

Install on my 18 4Runner was a piece of cake
As you can see from picture I used a blank plate and drilled a hole for Cable to fit, very clean
Not sure why 10 min Waite on 4Runner with door open, but I followed instructions
System works great and noticeable throttle response improvement
Stated with green 5 tried 9 then switched to red 9
That’s pretty much where it will stay
One install tip, I used a skinny dowl to feed controller wire
I’ll give the system a 5stars
Does what it says it will do

I'm using Green 5...started on 4 as suggested by other members, but 5 is where I like it best...Red anything almost feels like the engine wants to go before the transmission can respond...that's just my opinion, but that's what it feels like...it might be different on updated/newer 4runners...
