I'm using the new BT version on my 16' Charger AWD Raylle. Really feels more responsive, and feels like a different car. Just keep in mind you will NOT get any hp gains, or better 0-60 times. This gives your accelerator a whole new feel, and makes your throttle more responsive. So now I feel like it takes off when I hit the gas, instead of sitting there thinking about it. It got rid of all the delays I had when giving it gas, no more sponge pedal.

I have been going back and forth getting one for my R/T, because I also want a tuner. I will probably end up with both LOL!

I've had one of these in my Amazon cart for a couple months. Can't really decide wether to pull the trigger or not. Seems like just pushing the pedal more aggressively would get the same results but I feel there must be more to it than that. All the positive reviews make it seem like there must be more to it.

 

It will make the pedal react as soon as you start pushing it down. It feels more like when vehicles had the drive by wire systems. It's better than the the computer saying "ok, you get this much this time", or for it to sit there and think for a second or two like in the case of my Charger. It just gives you more pedal response, instantly.

I got mine about 2 weeks ago on Ebay, for about $30 off. Not sure if they are still doing that, it was a preorder sale through one of the vendors there.

Edit: Looks like the Durango version is not on sale and is the same price everyone else has it for, whatever to that LOL!

I hate that sit there and think about it that the D does when you hit the gas. What setting do you run it on?

 

It doesn't really sit there and think when you use Sport Mode, so I really can't see the need at this time if there are no horsepower gains.

 

No sport mode on my 14 so it might be helpful in my D. I have a definite lag.

 

I have mine set on Sport 0, the Sport+ is too touchy but usable IMO. Keep in mind this is on a Charger with a V6. The guys running with Charger V8's have said it just about snaps their neck in Sport+. I would assume the Durango's would be very similar in those respects.

I agree that sport mode helps, but not for throttle lag. Sport mode maintains lower gears at a higher RPM, for quicker acceleration, but it doesn't do anything for the spongy feeling in the pedal. I have sport mode in my Charger also, and the PC made a difference.

Is this something that can be done with a diablo tuner? Or is this completely different?

 

Diablo has something similar. Diablo also released their own version of the pedal commander as well, not sure if they have it for the Durango yet

 

Someone here said they had a tuner and it helped a lot, but felt the PC was a bigger notice right off the bat. I'll try and link here with the other thread.

Ok, I can't find the other thread, and I might of read it over on the Charger forums.

I have been going back and forth between tuner and pedal commander myself. I'm thinking tuner first, and I'll see what happens after that. At least with a tuner, I can get the Hemi Fever, or Jay Greens tune, and get the Durango really moving.

The Diablo tuners have the throttle boost feature which I believe is the same thing that you are getting from the pedal Commander or similar products.

 

There is also this. https://www.sprintboosterusa.com/

 

I re-calibrate my throttle every few months. Seems to get rid of the lag, and its free.

 

I've done the recalibration a few times, can't say I've felt any difference from before to after.

 

I have one on my Cummins Ram because pedal delay is horrendous. I don't think my RT needs one. In fact, in sport mode, it's ready to go all the dang time.

 

Checking In!

 

I just ordered one on Amazon, all this talk made me want to see first hand what it can do. Should be arriving at some point today or tonight.

 

Let us know what you think! I know it made a big difference for our Charger. I'm not so sure about the Durango, will be interesting to hear your take.

Make sure you unplug the battery. I didn't on my Ram and it was all messed up until I did

 

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember to do that before install.

 

Good news, it is here. Bad news, not enough light to install it tonight. I'll get it installed tomorrow night after work. After that I'll give it a good drive and see what it actually does.

 

Subscribed. 2011 V6 Durango drives me nuts with throttle delay!!

After all your responses here, you have a review on tapatalk?? My iPad doesn't support it. Can't you just write it here?? Geez Louise!

 

been using the pedal commander for about 6 months now and i love it. i keep it set in city mode +1. throttle response is perfect, although i could go to city mode standard at 0 and that would be fine too. easier to modulate the power delivery and eliminates throttle tip in sluggishness at all speeds. just have to train yourself to use a softer pedal foot.

using sport mode or anything higher than city mode +1 was just too aggressive for me and too difficult to modulate power delivery.

it could be cheaper, but 6 months in i'm happy and would purchase again. really like how it makes the vehicle more responsive and easier to access the powah!

I don’t doubt the pedal commander. I have an ‘18 RT and I keep it in “off eco mode”
The response is great. I could leave it in “sport mode” and it’s even better! Amazing response. That eats up more gas obviously.
But those 2 options driving give me great pedal response. So I don’t know I would gain with the PC? I am open minded if the difference is apparent without chewing up my gas.

 

Good advice. For now I love the “off eco” response. It’s perfect for me. And if I want more accelerating power- I could go higher into Sport. So for me, Dodge hit the nail on the head with these ‘18 options.

 

I have a 2014 rt and I have been running the pc for about 3 months now. I had considered it for a while before taking the plunge. Afterwards, I kicked myself for waiting so long. It's like night and day. I'm a lil crazy and run mine in sport+ mode the majority of the time. It takes getting use to. I wouldn't advise starting there. Lol. Sport mode is amazing in itself and city mode even makes a big difference. I haven't met or spoken with anyone who has purchased the pc and regretted it. ?

 

Why waste your money on this when it could go towards a tune? With the tune you pickup some power, some fuel economy,adjustable pedal aggression and even a trans tune if your trans is supported.

Not many of us have $300 lying around. I installed the maxx boost throttle controller on my 2014 Durango. It was half the cost of pedal commander, does not add HP but drastically improves throttle response as well as being MUCH simpler to use than pedal commander. https://www.sawyertuning.com/?s=accelerator

 

Does the Maxx have only one setting? If so how sensitive is it?

 

It has three levels I believe. The first is for normal driving. I notice an immediate boost around town but it is not too aggressive. The second mode is the max setting and is like a race mode. This eliminates all delay whatsoever for me and is the highest I would want to go. The third mode is the lowest / stock if I recall correctly. I keep it in the first mode and it is perfect for my needs so far.
