Does anybody know if a Pedal Commander or other throttle controller (Banks Pedal Monster, for example) will help with offroading in slippery surfaces? Maybe my truck is still new and I'm getting used to the throttle tip-in, but it's really easy to spin tires even when going at slow speed in 4LO. The traction control does take care of this, and the rear locker is great on the Tremor; however, I'm looking to reduce the initial "surge" of throttle when getting on the first 10% of the pedal.
Compared to other vehicles (Jeeps, Tacomas, etc.) this truck feels like 5-10% on the pedal gives the first 30% of power and then the rest is more linear. My friend's Tacoma (manual trans) you really need to get on the throttle and this truck is the opposite. I'm thinking of using a Pedal Commander in the (-) modes for off road driving, will that help or is it just a gimmick?
They claim up to 20% fuel economy increase too, but I am doubtful... all this thing can do is modify the pedal position the car "sees" correct?
