Eliminating Toyota’s Dead Pedal: PedalMonster on the 2022 Tundra Hybrid

The team at Yota Xpedition aims to demystify modifying Toyota trucks with easy-to-follow tutorials. In this episode, Cory installs a PedalMonster, iDash, and Stealth Gauge Pod in Andrew’s 2022 Tundra Hybrid. “A Banks PedalMonster is going to make a huge difference on your throttle response and the abilities of the iDash is endless.”

Jared explains that what sets the PedalMonster apart from its competitors on the market is that it’s both safe and smart. “It has certain circuitry that are fail-safes, so that if anything goes wrong with the voltage, it will not kill the PedalMonster, but you will still have an active throttle. Competitors draw their power directly from the throttle pedal circuit, which can cause over-amperage and actually kill the entire circuit, leaving you with a dead pedal. This is different because it draws 12-volt power directly from the OBD. It’s also reverse-smart. When you put the truck in reverse PedalMonster will know and won’t make the throttle more sensitive. Banks also sells the iDash which controls PedalMonster and displays so much data that it warrants its own video.

“She’s got some get up and go with 35’s on it,” says Andrew. There are times when I’m leaving my house and I turn on the main road and press the pedal in, and it’s literally dead, and it has to catch up. With this, it’s already there! There’s no dead pedal. It’s sketchy stock, where it can have a delayed reaction. This removes that feeling.” Cory admits that they had put a PedalMonster on their shop’s 4Runner, which was a slug prior to putting it on, and that difference was night and day.

The Toyota dead pedal fix is one of the most impactful upgrades for Tundra and 4Runner owners. As Andrew and the Yota Xpedition team discovered, the stock throttle system in the 2022 Tundra Hybrid often responds with a delay — creating that frustrating “dead pedal” feel off the line or while merging.

By installing the Banks PedalMonster, paired with the iDash controller and Stealth Pod mount, throttle delay is instantly eliminated. The Toyota dead pedal fix transforms the driving experience, delivering immediate response even with larger tires or added load.

What makes the PedalMonster special is its safety and intelligence. Unlike competitor units that risk circuit failure, the Banks system uses OBD power, includes failsafes, and adapts to reverse gear input. Combined with the data-rich iDash display, the system gives Toyota drivers full control over performance and monitoring.

If you’re tired of sluggish throttle response, this Toyota dead pedal fix is a must. The PedalMonster makes your truck drive like it should have from the factory — responsive, predictable, and fun.
