2025+

Turbocharged Platform

$650

Standard OTT tune

Pricing shown is for a standard OTT base tune. Vehicle modifications,
ECU compatibility, and custom calibration requirements are reviewed before
any additional work is performed.

4th Generation · 2005–2009

Wake up the V6 or V8 without changing its character.

Fourth-generation 4Runners are still valued for their durability,
capability, and straightforward driving experience. OTT calibration
improves the connection between the accelerator, engine, and transmission
while keeping the vehicle smooth and predictable.

4.0L V6

Sharper response from the familiar V6

Naturally aspirated 4.0L V6 4Runner models.

What changes behind the wheel

  • More direct and predictable throttle response
  • Smoother coordination between the engine and transmission
  • Better response on hills and during passing
  • More usable power without changing the vehicle’s character

What changes behind the wheel

  • Improved response to partial-throttle input
  • More confident acceleration and passing
  • Smoother engine and transmission interaction
  • Better drivability with added weight or larger tires
Fourth-generation Toyota 4Runner with Overland Tailor Tune

Why 4th Gen Owners Choose OTT

Modernized response for a proven platform

The tune does not try to reinvent the 4Runner. It improves the
response and drivability owners interact with every time they press
the accelerator.

Real-World Improvement

Drivability remains the priority

Measured gains are included because they matter, but the larger benefit
is how much more naturally the vehicle responds in traffic, on grades,
and while carrying the equipment that many 4Runner owners add.

  • Daily commuting and highway driving
  • Trail, camping, and overland builds
  • Towing and loaded vehicle use
  • Stock or modified tire sizes
  • Calibration selected around the vehicle’s actual use

5th Generation · 2010–2024

Better response from the 4.0L V6.

The fifth-generation 4Runner is proven, capable, and exceptionally
durable. Its factory calibration, however, can make the drivetrain feel
less responsive than it should. OTT tuning focuses on making the power
already available easier and more enjoyable to use.

What changes behind the wheel

  • More immediate and predictable throttle response
  • Improved transmission behavior and reduced gear hunting
  • Smoother, more usable power delivery
  • Better response with larger tires and added vehicle weight

What Owners Notice

Less hesitation. Less frustration.

The biggest difference is often not a single peak number. It is how
quickly the 4Runner responds, how confidently it holds or selects a
gear, and how much easier it is to control in daily driving.

  • Easier merging and passing
  • More natural response in stop-and-go traffic
  • Improved drivability on hills and rolling roads
  • More controlled response while towing or carrying gear
  • A more connected accelerator feel

Why 5th Gen Owners Choose OTT

It still feels like a 4Runner—just better.

OTT preserves the character and reliability-minded nature owners
appreciate while improving the parts of the factory driving
experience that often feel slow, indecisive, or disconnected.

Built Around Your Use

Daily driver, trail rig, or travel vehicle

A 4Runner used for commuting may need something different from one
carrying armor, larger tires, camping equipment, or a trailer.
Available calibration options let the driving experience match the
way the vehicle is actually used.

  • Stock and lightly modified vehicles
  • Larger tires and additional vehicle weight
  • Daily commuting and highway travel
  • Overlanding, towing, and recreational use
  • Custom tuning when additional refinement is required

6th Generation · 2025+

Refine the newest 4Runner platform.

The sixth-generation 4Runner brings turbocharged power, a modern
transmission, and an entirely new calibration strategy. OTT tuning
focuses on making that newer drivetrain feel smoother, more responsive,
and easier to control.

Support Verification

We confirm compatibility before tuning

Support is specific to model year, engine, powertrain configuration,
and ECU. Send the vehicle details before booking if there is any
question about compatibility.

  • Model year and trim
  • Engine and powertrain configuration
  • Current modifications
  • Any existing warning lights or drivability concerns
  • How the 4Runner is primarily used

What the Tune Improves

The changes you feel every day.

Most owners do not spend every drive at wide-open throttle. The value of
a good calibration is how much better the vehicle behaves in the
situations encountered every day.

01

Throttle Response

Pedal input produces a quicker, more predictable response without
making the vehicle difficult to control.

02

Transmission Behavior

Improved shift strategy helps reduce indecision and makes power
delivery feel more coordinated.

03

Usable Power

Available torque and horsepower are delivered in a smoother, more
accessible way across the normal driving range.

04

Driver Confidence

The 4Runner responds more consistently in traffic, on hills, while
towing, and when accelerating onto the highway.

4Runner Tuning FAQ

Common questions before booking.

What 4Runner model years are supported?

Kentucky Truck Tuning supports select 4Runner models from 2005 forward,
including late fifth-generation and supported turbocharged
sixth-generation applications. Compatibility depends on the exact
engine, ECU, and powertrain configuration.

Will an OTT tune stop the transmission from hunting for gears?

Improved transmission behavior is one of the main reasons 4Runner
owners choose OTT. The tune is designed to make gear selection and
power delivery more predictable, although results vary by generation
and driving conditions.

Can you tune a 4Runner with larger tires or added weight?

Yes. Many tuned 4Runners have larger tires, armor, camping equipment,
or other added weight. Share the vehicle’s modifications before the
appointment so the correct tune and any custom calibration needs can
be discussed.

Does tuning disable emissions equipment or warning lights?

No. The vehicle must retain a complete and fully functioning emissions
system. Kentucky Truck Tuning does not disable emissions equipment or
turn off Check Engine or MIL warning lights.

Where can I have my 4Runner tuned?

Appointments are available in Lexington and at select regional tuning
events. Current dates, locations, and available appointment times are
listed on the schedule page.
