So I wouldn’t recommend running it in ECT PWR mode all the time. How much is unknown, but I suspect a couple of miles per gallon wouldn’t be too far off. One thing we can be sure of is that this ECT PWR mode will reduce your gas mileage. The difference was actually slower by 1/2 second. However, I timed my 2016 Tacoma (TRD Off-Road 4×4) using my iPhone stop-watch from 0 to 60, with and without ECT PWR turned on. The customer service person at Toyota did say that some people use the ECT PWR button when they need to accelerate quickly, such as when entering the highway from the frontage road ramps, or when legally racing the vehicle. I called my dealership and Toyota looking to get the actual RPM values, but alas they could not give them to me at the time of this writing. This ensures that when under stress the truck will not lug as the next gear engages. What that actually means is that it raises slightly the shift points of the transmission so that the engine will rev to a slightly higher RPM before shifting to the next gear. It’s nothing more than a tow-haul mode button that can be used when pulling a trailer, carrying a heavy load, or when traveling over hilly areas of land like in the mountains. In fact, it doesn’t actually increase the power of your vehicle at all. The ECT PWR button is not a turbo boost button. NOTE: If you are having problems with your Toyota Tacoma transmission not shifting smoothly, check out my article on the Delayed-Engagement transmission problem. But after driving it for almost a week I kept staring at this ECT PWR button on the dash with not a clue in the world what it does.
This truck has the Premium Technology Package and not only looks cool on the outside, but its like a space shuttle on the inside. I just recently traded in my 2010 Toyota Tundra Crew Max 4×4 for a new 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4×4. But when it comes to designing the buttons and controls, they are sorely in need of a user experience person (or a new one) to help them come up with better names for some of the features and controls they put on their vehicles. True Toyota off-road enthusiasts inspired this new lineup, with each part engineered, tested and tuned by Toyota and TRD specialists. In fact, I think it might make the best trucks on the road. Toyota designs and builds a fantastic truck.
