Do the TRD and Sports appearance package have different top speeds set at the factory? Some people say they cannot go above 107 some can.

 

[Stripped Honda]

my limited went 116

 

[Sandcruiser]

Did you limited come with the 18 inch rims with michelins?

 

[Stripped Honda]

[remotemonkey]

107, no trd or sport.

 

[Sandcruiser]

and what package do you have, trd, limited sports appearance?

 

[remotemonkey]

i have a double cab reg bed, 5.7 on alloy 18's it only went up to 107. i know cause i looked down, and my engine cut out right after, it was at 107, which is actually 105 cause the spedo is 2mph faster then actual speed.

Toyota Sports Series package 118+ did not hit limiter.

***note "H" 135 mph rated tires

Please do not call out!

 

[remotemonkey]

im pretty sure its 2mph off at all speeds, my fathers avalanch did the same. i can see why if it is. just to make sure your not speeding that much. it might be two percent off though.

There was a news story about this several months ago because this affects the odometer as well. The main impacts of an intentionally miscalibrated speedo/odometer (to the high side):

- Your warranty expires quicker. This saves Toyota $$$$
- MPG calculations (artificially high)
- Easier to get to 200,000 or 300,000 miles when accumulating at the faster rate.

This is something Toyota needs to fix. It's criminal.

But, I'm still going to buy a 2007 Tundra this summer (I hope).

Actually it was Honda with the big problem. The Toyotas tested had the opposite. Meaning they gave you extra miles. So that is a crime I'm personally willing to forgive .

"while Toyotas actually racked up fewer miles on the clock than they did in reality."

Taken from:

Odo Uh-Oh: Honda extending warranties on 6 million cars - Autoblog

But you can find that story in other places as well.

Time for Hypertech or Diablo or superchips to make a programmer

I think what someone needs to do is take a GPS and take a reading of the real speed in their 07 Tundra. That will tell you if you need to get that speedo recalibrated.

Sanosuke!

I've got a regular cab with sport pacakage and I've hit 110mph so far. Didn't notice it cut off there, one day I'll find my limit.....one day

 

[Sandcruiser]

why is there such a big difference in top speeds? Are ecus set different from the factory depending on what tires the truck has? Can the top speed be reset at the dealer?

YES

Can the top speed be reset at the dealer?

NO

 

[Tchapin]

YES


NO

I am wary of taking advice from someone that discribes there '07 as a "black TuRD". NO:ts:

My speedo is acurate and has seen needle close to burying it.

This is my 3rd Toyota TuRD.
The nickname comes from the guys in the shop.
But thanks for your confiDENSE.
