Slowest truck tested and ECT does nothing for speed it just holds the gears longer.

I hardly ever turn mine on. I didn’t notice a difference in daily driving with or without it. It helps some when you have a load or towing but it’s not a boost button.

Daily driving, I feel it helps accelerating without pushing more on the throttle. Shifts pretty close to where i would shift if it were manual.

More rpm means more noise, more noise means more powa tho.

I use it while towing, and it is a welcome feature for that use, just like the tow/haul button on the Tundra.

I’m telling you...everything is a placebo effect. Probably the same goes to sprint booster

I don't know, I notice a difference on the highway when I'm doing over 120kmh

not really.

 

[Bojangles]

not really.

Ect on, all it does is allow the transmission to hold gears longer.

Same as if u held gears and shifted manually isnt it?

 

[whippersnapper02]

not really.

What else does it do?

Yep... that!

 

[AZ Pete]

What else does it do?

the transmission continues to shift automatically, but stays in each gear longer.

That is what nancy was saying

Its funny how baffling this old button is.
Toyota has had it for decades, and even my 89 maxima had a version.

The derpest part, i bet if you are at wot, with ect off, the shift points are the same as if u had ect on.

Thats how those buttons worked for a LOOOONNNG time... same as the ac turning off when in either high load open loop, or wot.
