Toyota Hilux & Fortuner Throttle Controllers

The Hilux and Fortuner share Toyota's drive-by-wire calibration, which builds a deliberate pause between your foot and the throttle body. It smooths emissions and protects the drivetrain, and it is the reason a GD-6 can feel lazy pulling away from a stop.

We cover the Hilux and the Fortuner. Each controller is matched to that vehicle's factory accelerator connector — there is no universal fit, and no cutting or splicing. Installation takes about ten minutes in the driver's footwell and is fully reversible, so the vehicle can be returned to standard before a dealer service.

Ten selectable driving modes run from standard and economy through to sport and race, and the unit remembers your last setting on restart. Valet mode limits throttle response when someone else is driving. Every controller ships with a 2-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and is supported from South Africa.

Throttle controllers are also sold as pedal boosters, throttle enhancers or pedal boxes: the name differs, the job is the same. New to them? Read our guide to throttle controllers.
