Custom Dyno Tuning for Toyota Prado 3.0L

Your Toyota Prado can become significantly slower when towing, especially when your air conditioning and other accessory systems require power to run, and the engine provides that power.

Many drivers feel frustrated while driving, which can make simple overtaking a big problem, and applying full-throttle is a natural reaction when they think their Toyota Prado is not capable of performing as they expect.

This is because a diesel engine is meant to deliver a strong "torque" delivery and towing force at middle ranges of engine speed (2000-4000rpm). As a result, the car cannot complete an overtake even at full throttle if driving on a gently sloping road with a medium load onboard.

This results in potentially unsafe driving conditions and higher fuel consumption.
