Yep, my comments were for the folks out there who have been asking about speedometer re-cals since this is a speedometer thread. It's good info from Eric.

Apparently the settings that can be adjusted for the lift kit only affect the TSS features (to account for height difference with the sensors and cameras). Eric from Ed Martin confirmed that there's no internal way to recalibrate the speedometer. He did reference the Lutz calibrator though.

Hey Eric, thanks for all the awesome info on this forum! I see there's a few adjustments/modes that can be used to calibrate the TSS features to account for a change in height from a lift but another question that has come up quite a few times is regarding speedometer calibration. Is there a...

If an installer is able to adjust this, shouldn't a dealer or Toyota service dept? I've gone to three dealerships and two of their service departments and all of them have said there's no way to calibrate for different tire sizes. Is there documentation online for the TRD lift kit or those 3...

Great point. My GPS using Google Maps through Apple Carplay is consistently off by around 3% (shows slower mph than the dash gauge)... but if I disconnect it from Carplay it's only off by about 1%. In other words, there can be a lot of variance in GPS speed readings just based on the app being...

Great point about ECO mode. I've seen several other comments from other people saying it didn't make much difference. I'm guessing it'll have more of an impact on heavy stop and go traffic or maybe with drivers who really crank their AC.

Yep. Unfortunately there's not a lot of battery capacity so anytime you're idling in AZ Jun-Aug, the electric motor can only go for a few minutes on its own (if that). The gas engine has to run if you want to keep the AC cranking. Definitely more of an issue for me because I do a lot of work...

100 100% about the temp. I'm in AZ and MPG really takes a hit once it gets hot here and we need to crank the AC. That and if you're in the car a lot just parked and idling. The combination of the two keeps my avg down between 18-19 mpg even though my actual driving mpg is probably more like 22mpg.

Turns out that my speedometer discrepancy is more of a Google Maps/Apple Carplay issue. If I use the GPS speed on Google Maps using Carplay, the speedo reads appx 3% slower than the Toyota speedo. If I use Google Maps on my phone or iPad without routing through Carplay, the two speedos match...

I put bigger tires on my Platinum for the same reason and wanted to keep the road manners too (with the least affect possible on mpg)... went with Cooper Discoverers and the lighter TRD wheels and they've been awesome. After upsizing to 265/70/r18, my speedo, like yours, also seems to be reading...

That's a really good point. If that's the case, the factory calibration is a significant difference. I'm just using Google Maps, so it's not 100% accurate but the speedo has consistently displayed 3-3.5% faster than GPS since day 1. Maybe GPS through Google is also off a little.

I think I'd be happy with that with Es. Is that based on the dash gauge or are you doing the math manually? Also curious about the speedometer calibration on the Trailhunter... was it accurate with stock and how is it now with the 275s?

That's great info! I'd be curious to compare with other 6g owners running larger tires. I was definitely hoping for more than 18.5 mpg so thats why I'm trying to see how the numbers might be affected by the tire size. I had the bigger tires installed before I ever drove the vehicle so I never...

Slowly climbed to 18.5mpg after appx 5,000 miles. I went from 31.5" tires to 32.6" so I think (think) that throws off the calc and the actual mpg is closer to 21mpg. Tire/wheel setup is larger but appx 20lbs lighter overall. Skid plate added (24lbs), air dam removed. 50/50 mix of city/hwy but I...

Thanks! That's 3 people now that confirmed there are two sets of different sizes and one fits:) Maybe the person who responded to me from 4RunnerLifestyle just didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, the difficulty reaching someone, inaccurate/confusing info, and a couple other...
