Thanks for the great video! We're excited that the Yota Expedition team is enjoying the PedalMonster. There are many throttle controllers on the market, but none of them are OBD-connected. None of them have any idea what vehicle they're connected to. And, none of them return the truck to stock response in reverse gear. They can't because we patented the feature. And, we can't wait for you to test the iDash! The iDash is the single most powerful engine evaluation tool on the market. It displays data that your dashboard doesn't, while also controlling the PedalMonster on-the-fly. It'll be your new favorite instrument.
Thanks! The PedalMonster has a lot of nice features that others don't! It definitely makes a difference on these sluggish V6 Toyotas. Maybe we'll do a video on the iDash in the future.
@bankspower Can I run the PedalMonster with a Magnuson Supercharger on my 4Runner?
@@BoostedLunaryou totally can! Did my '17 magnussen on 34's tonight and settled on Sport #1 setting. Install was 20 min, setup another 20(it made me do a firmware update over wifi) test drive 30 min HAVING A BLAST. 30-40 min to figure out/stuff the monster in the kick panel to the RIGHT of the pedal behind center console and coil up the remaining OBDII power cable and ziptie it to white/air ventilation plastic just below the heater pipes(they were HOT) the magnussen supercharger should come with this! Your gonna love it!
Love mine! '17 Ford Fusion, works flawlessly. I run City Mode set at #9.
Excellent tutorial. Just installed mine on a '22 4runner. Unbelievable difference. I find sport mode mid level to be perfect.
Only thing I would mention is when removing the first factory throttle clip, pinch the clip toward the top of it and it pops right off.
Also if you're installing right after driving, there are some pipes near the clip that are hot.
Awesome video!
Huge difference right?! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback.
I have a 23 Tacoma, Couldnt I just effectively drive with a heavier foot and get the same results or is it really worth?
@@mattheww2647 my wife was actually the one who complained about the lack of power. I said the same thing, just push harder on the gas pedal. The 4runner has traditionally been sluggish.
The answer is no. It is a major difference. When you hit the gas it goes! And the pedal monster has a lot of adjustability.
Best $300 I've spent on our 4runner (so far)
@@4runnin637 thanks for your reply. I was worried you would say that looks like I might be shelling out some cash. How much dip did you see in mpg? I would imagine not bad I took the taco down some trails and spun the tires every chance I had, and still got 16mpg for 80 miles, but If I drive to work wrong I get 16mpg
@@mattheww2647 I haven't noticed any change really. Ours is a 2022 TRD off road 4runner. We're averaging around 18-19mpg. As I mentioned, I started in city mode mid range, and it was a nice noticeable improvement. I thought what the heck and tried Sport mid range. And I love it. Maybe a little touchy but easily got used to the pedal. Also I called Banks and asked if you can pair to multiple phones and the answer is no. Good luck
Given the safety features the Pedal Monster has is superior over the Pedal Commander if you're looking for a throttle sensitivity controller and afraid to do a tune. Especially if your taco is under warranty.. Some ( techs that do the tunes) state that it's been 90% undetected.. But if you have an issue and go to the dealership and they pickup on said tune.. your warranty is now voided.. So this is your best option if you plan on playing it safe and not being part of that 10%.
Just wanted to drop a like and a comment. This tutorial helped me install my new pedal monster on my Tacoma seamlessly. Thank you again great video
Thanks! Glad we could help
I have a bully dog pedal monster on my 2009 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner and got it right when they had released the pedal monster for the Tacoma. It works awesome and is still kicking ass
I had a pedal commander on my 2017 power wagon and a different type throttle booster on a Subaru outback and a jeep gladiator. I currently have an APR throttle boost controller on my Volkswagen alltrack. And for whatever reason some people just can’t get their minds around the product. Everybody just tells me push the gas harder You don’t need that. But it’s night and day difference. Especially in the outback that was slow as can be to begin with, it makes it feel peppier.
Agreed, it's not the same as just pushing the pedal harder
It’s the best out there I have it on my Tacoma
I am looking into pne of these for my 2023 V6 Tacoma 4x4.
I like most of what the Pedal Monster does except one thing.
Once you calibrate and do all the setup via the app, I would rather not have to use my damn cell phone. There seems to be no manual buttons to change the settings on the unit itself without going back to the phone app.
It looks like to get the visual and hands on manual adjustability without the phone app you need yet another $295.00 externally mounted gauge. Thats alot more than I am willing to pay plus having to remove both before going to the dealer for service. (I'm too old to have to go through all that crap)
I do, however, like the safety features and smoother throttle response.
Typically, once you have it set where you like it, you won't have to touch it again. So you don't need to be using your phone all the time.
I have been thinking about trading my 17 TRD Pro due to the lack of power. It's downright dangerous getting on the highway.
I think if you installed one of these you would be surprised by the difference.
@@yotaxpedition I'm definitely interested in one now. I had an F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost before my 4Runner. Definitely a power difference.
You have to get the magnussen supercharger. It will drop your quarter mile from 15s in to the 13's love mine no regrets. Also do the banks. Also dont be afraid to manually shift your trans it wont hurt it. Just installed the Monster tonight and WOW...Sport #1 setting w supercharger its insane now. I can load up and brake boost the engine and leave balling both 34s squeeling. NO MORE manual shifting the 5AT it drop a gear and dissapears all on its own quickly w minimal throttle tip-in
You guys install one on a 5.7 tundra yet? Does it render the tow/haul button useless?
Does this affect the MPG?
I already have my OBD port using my dash cam. So this won’t work unless I use an OBD splitter , but not sure I want to do that with my 2019 Tacoma.
i never seen a dash cam that connects to OBD port lol, why?
That’ll be annoying to take down before every dealer trip.. already ordered and on the way with no plans to return but that’s less than desirable.
Still, should be simple enough to pop the OBD off and leave it hanging there then swap the pedal plugs as long as the flooring and panels come off easy.. which by the way was left out of this video and was the most needed part of the “install” 😂
Guess I get to go figure it out and hope I don’t break some clips in my brand new 2024 Limited 😭
The harness that plugs into the pedal is very easy to install as we show in the video. There are no panels or flooring that needs to come off to get access to the pedal harness.
@@yotaxpedition ah yeah thanks for the reply after watching this I ended up going in there and taking a look.
Might need to pop the center kick panel off to tuck the device up in there but the rest is pretty open. There’s a few spots with some Velcro which peel back pretty easily.
I think I’m going to get some of those phone charger cable clips and strategically mount them. I don’t care if the dealer sees the thing hanging there as long as the OBD is unplugged for them.
Will the controller still work as a bypass if no power is supplied via OBD? Because that would make it even easier, literally just unplug OBD instead of having to both OBD and pedal
My question is do you have to set it up each time you shut off the vehicle? After my install and driving around and stopping shutting off the motor and restarting, the app shows it not paired.
No you do not need to set it up everytime you drive. You should be able to set it once and be good. Only reason I could see it resetting is if your battery was disconnected.
I personally don't like that you have to use the OBD connection for power. I imagine you could hard wire the power source yourself if you wanted to leave the OBD port available for other things.
You can buy a OBII splitter if you need the port.
Ita pretty wild how far the price if these things go up and down comaidering they all do the same thing. All brands aside, is there a good reason why soneone ahould get this one vs. Others that are 100$-200$ cheaper?
Once I program it do I always have to have my phone connected to reuse it
No, set it and forget it
Great video which 1 so I run for a 2003 gx 470?
Do you always need to have your phone or the app on to still use the Pedal monster, or will it remember your last settings you put in?
Just set it once and you're good
Is this confirmed to work with 2024? On there website they dont have an option for this for 2024 just 2023 and earlier
Nothing has changed between the 23 and 24 so I'm assuming it will work.
Installed on my 23 Tacoma. Works great but noticed this morning my distance to empty on my full tank is showing a full tank at 3/4 of a tank. The number doesn’t change or go down while driving. Anyone experience this?
did you unplug the negative on your battery or you just installed this straight up no disconnections?
We didn't disconnect the battery but it doesn't hurt if you want to.
Does it change ur mpg?
No change to mpg
I saw another comment,
But say you have pedal monster and someone else drives your vehicle without the connected phone. Does the pedal monster still work? Or does it have to have the phone connected to it by it whenever it’s driven?
PedalMonster remembers the last setting you left it. There is no need to use the mobile app unless you want to change sensitivity levels.
It still works even if the phone isn't connected. I recommend it 100%. It's a night and day difference although your mpg will suffer a bit depending on how you drive as well
Curious if it is via Bluetooth, does the app or have to be running constantly or does it have on board? I have my 4Runner running Bluetooth for a wireless car play adapter. So if it needs constant Bluetooth that’s gonna be a pass
No, a constant Bluetooth connection is not needed. It will work every time the truck is turned on. You only need to connect to make changes to the settings. Most people pick a setting once and leave it there anyway.
This is the nugget of info not kn any other videos i needed to not have to worry about calling Banks to ask. Ive got a blower on my '17 its gonna be wicked great with this. Already 13sec truck on 34's walking 6.2 Silverados and Ecoboost F150s but this will make it a pleasure to drive instead of manually shifting it to hunt rpm. Even w Magnuson supercharger its gotna turd pedal/shift points. Although with the blower it holds gears better on the highway NO need to downshift up grades or passing.
Amazing video does the app have to be open to work?
Nope. Just set it and forget it
Does it have the intermittent accelerations the pedal commander is known to have
I was a little apprehensive to get the pedal commander, and then came across the Ultimate 9 for the 4Runner.
We have not experienced any issues
Will this work on a 2017 trd sport Tacoma manual transmission?
Yes it will.
Will this work with 4Runner with pedal commander already installed or is it gonna be redundant?
They are both pedal throttle modifiers.
Sell your pedal commander it’s junk
It would be physically possible but unsure how it would react and would be completely unnecessary. Only one unit is needed.
@@yotaxpeditionwhich one would you keep, and why? 🤔
Hi, I just installed a pedal monster on my Tacoma. I noticed on your video that on your phone app screen that the reverse safety shows as “unavailable”. I am seeing the same thing on my phone app. Is this something you were able to resolve?
Update - I just got off the phone with Banks regarding this issue. They said that their current firmware does not communicate with newer Tacomas (mine is a 22). So both the reverse safety and the low speed trim do not work for me with the module supplied. They say they are working on a new firmware update to address this - which would download over the app when available. However they have no firm timeline on release of this update. Right now I’m on the fence as to whether I should keep the unit and wait for the update or return it for a refund.
I want the lag taken away from when I first press on the gas to when it actually registers my input. Idk if the truck doesn’t registers the first half inch of the throttle being pressed or if there’s just a lag after I press the peddle. Does this fix that issue?
Yes this will take care of that issue
My truck has a 2 second delay at times I hope it fixes it.
Will it cost my 5th gen 4runner to throw up an error code if continue use.
PedalMonster will not cause codes like Pedal Commander, Sprint Booster, etc. We spend over a year developing and patenting our safety features.
@@bankspower Is pedal monster compatible with toyota sienna se 2013? Love to have one.
How much worse has mpg gotten on the taco? I know it’s a truck and such but just curious. It stinks already so was just wondering
Really depends on what setting you put it on and how you drive. To be honest we really haven't looked to see a mpg difference. It sucks regardless lol
If you’re driving out of town and lost service on your phone, would the pedal commander stay the same or drop to default?
The Pedal Monster connects to your phone via Bluetooth so if you lost service nothing would be affected.
@@yotaxpedition so if I was driving in city +4 it would stay like that even without service correct? Just want to make sure
Correct.
Does this void any type of warranty?
If you have to take it to the dealer just simply unplug it.
very easy to install and set up but hardly 10 seconds
Works on FJ Cruiser?
The one for the Tacoma is the same. Link is in description
They didn’t include the fucking adapter.
Go pee dude!
