Who is this commander and what exactly is he trying to peddle to us?

I tried one of these years ago. It basically is just mimicking someone stepping on the gas pedal harder w/o stepping on it, so gives the illusion of more power.

That's would I thought alot of tuners do that to give you the elusion, that you're getting more power. It would be torque management.

I have a similar product, Roar Pedal. You can adjust the throttle sensitivity using their app. Roar Pedal has 5 modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+ and Race), then 9 levels of adjustment within each mode. I run in Sport mode, setting 3. It removes the initial throttle lag found in the factory throttle calibration and pretty much stops the 2nd gear skip shift. For $170, it is a reasonable mod.

HAD ONE ON MY 2019 LOVED IT 2024 LARIET WITH TECH PACK HAS THE SAM TING BUILT IN

Had one on my F150, made the throttle more responsive and driving more fun, but at the expense of MPG.

A complete waste of money in a possibility of turning your truck into a brick by putting it into limp mode. Add one on my twenty eighteen toyota tacoma, and it put it in limp mode three times before I finally got rid of it. I would not waste my money on a truck that already has plenty of power.

They absolutely do work and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about or doesn't know how to use one properly.

exactly what i used on my 2017 titan. it definitely made the truck feel different and you can pick settings to make it feel exactly how you want, like how @VehicleNanny has his set. you can set it to smoke the tires all the time or drive like a grandma.


also, i got mine on marketplace. i jsut searched all the big cities and asked if the guy would ship it to me when i found one. 50 bucks and shipping and i had one instead of paying full price.

there are ZERO safeties built into the pedal commander. the control board fucks up. you lose control. I do not know how that company is still in busniess! an obd2 one is better, and one that has tons of safeties built in, and does not require you to cut and splice. the banks pedal monster is a better one. the testing Gale did and real data he shows on both.... I wouldn't trust a pedal commander on a powerwheels yet alone a 70k truck!

The peddler commander was originally a copy cat product with a lot of marketing money to build hype. It does nothing but make you perceive your truck as being peppier when realistically what it is doing is modifying the linear stock peddle input so (for example) you press the gas in 25% and it tells the truck you have the peddle pressed 70% of the way to the floor. So you get an overly touchy throttle but at the end of the day 100% throttle is 100% throttle so it doesn’t actually have any effect on acceleration.


Additionally there are a number of teardown videos on YouTube I’ve seen over the years that open the products up and the peddle commander specifically uses some of the cheapest lowest quality components they could find and I would have to search for it but there was one teardown looking at the main chip it uses and there was some sort of safety capacitor (wording?) that it didn’t have that could make it dangerous in the right situation.

When I had a 3rd gen Tacoma people would talk about it but realistically people only liked it because the trucks were so slow that it made you feel like it wasn’t so bad when you could barely touch the throttle and it would open up all the way.
