    Just shy of $200 with a coupon I had. Since I’m plugging something into the gas pedal of the truck I didn’t wanna take a chance on a knockoff product to save money. I met the owner of ultimate9 years back at an offroad show and really liked what he had to say. They are the premium option and do loads of product testing which gives me peace of mind

    There’s no magic with just slamming your foot down.

    I actually had one in my Tacoma and it worked well. Got rid of it after I tuned it. The 4runner drives so well to me in comparison to the Tacoma that the 4runner in my opinion doesn’t need one.

    Banks Pedal Monster has the most features and seems to be the safest of all. Had the Pedal Commander on for a couple years but started looking at different options. Recently switched to the Banks product as I like the added safety as explained in the video.

    (No I'm not affiliated with the company just a satisfied customer)

    Here's the vid where I took the screenshot showing which throttle controllers have/don't have certain features;

    Well said. Or restated.
    The pro throttle device camp shouldn’t be using the term “decreases throttle lag”, but instead maybe something like “artificially increases throttle speed”
