Hear me out.. Does a Pedal Commander really work??

[Graygoose]

BT version is still wired BTW and you don't have to connect to the PC with your phone via BT.

gocha, most problems I wonder is when someone makes changes via BT when driving?

In my case I have the BT app and tried it once to check it out but haven't used it otherwise. I never change modes while moving so my issues weren't from that.

I always use the app via BT to make changes but I'm stopped and in park.

odd, my non-BT never had one issue...lucky I guess.

Just wanted to post my thoughts on this topic, but I've been using the Pedal Commander now for a few months and recently took it out for some service on my truck by the dealership (I didn't want to chance any warranty issues). I've been driving around without it now for about a week and... it's not worth the price tag. I appreciate this forum, but this was something I bought purely off of the love that everyone here gave it. I have to say that it doesn't make a difference for me. I have a 5th Gen 2020 Limited and that might have something to do with it, but I have zero complaints about the stock acceleration.

The Pedal Commander price tag has way more value spent elsewhere, in my opinion. I'll recommend anyone with a similar truck to mine to pass on purchasing the PC.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have the bluetooth model and I've had zero issues with setup and use. it's always worked as expected.

Depends on what settings you use.
PC on Sport+ on 2 will smoke your tires off a red light.
Doubt the stock setup can do that.

I never cared too much about getting a fast acceleration out of PC, but I did try all of the settings and can promise anyone that's interested in PC that it's not going to make your tires smoke off a red light. You might be able to lose traction for a very short period of time due to a faster response on acceleration, but unless you have additional mods you're not going to be smoking tires with just PC alone in a normal situation with your stock truck.

I tell you one thing though, you definitely don't want to drive that thing in the rain in sport ++2.
You will get sideways in a heartbeat!
I always drop it to City when it rains.
Just an FYI. If you're feeling froggy, test it out in an empty parking lot.

Same here re dropping down a setting or three although sometimes I forget. Good times...

9 Drive is still better in my opinion then PC! Same exact thing except $60 CDN instead of $400 CDN!

I agree. Not an issue for over a month. Except the occasional tire spin leaving a light in the rain but that is easily dealt with.

I have the HIKEit x9. As mentioned same concept, works the same. Much cheaper, more money for mods!

Sounds like snake oil to me due to the cost...................

PC is not snake oil, but it's certainly not the most inexpensive device around. It does what it's meant to do, but no more. It's not a tune, and it doesn't give you more power. All it does is shorten the digital lag between the time you get on the skinny pedal and movement, with many incremental user-defined settings.

Was thinking this as better SNAKE OIL:

Hadn't sen that one before. Looks like they do the same thing more or less as the PC but you need to use the OBDII connector whereas the PC plugs in/out of your accelerator pedal wiring harness.

Like the ICE or snow setting, the PC does not have this.............

True. My guess is that the PC equivalent is the Eco setting that (probably) nobody has ever used... It's a super mushy takeoff.

Adjustable Low-Speed Trim
This feature allows you to adjust the rate at which PedalMonster adds sensitivity at speeds under 10 mph. This helps to avoid spinning the tires in low speed turns or on slippery surfaces. While level 0 turns off low-speed trim, levels 2-5 increasingly minimize throttle boosting from 0-5 mph. By 10 mph PedalMonster will boost the throttle normally. This adjustment helps with low-speed drivability during parking lot maneuvering, icy roads, etc, while allowing you to use more an aggressive mode and level at the same time. For example, if you like Track mode but don’t want to slip while driving slowly on icy roads, simply set the low-speed trim to Level 5.

So, mushy takeoff. I just dig the name, PedalMonster...
