One of the easiest, most impressive mods on my last overland build was the Pedal Commander®. I installed one of these 4-5 years ago and was blown away at how much it changed my driving experience.
Three words… SO MUCH FUN!!
Plain and simple, a throttle response controller is a lot of fun! You can change the boring throttle response into a “HOLT S—T; this Bronco just came alive“!! If you want your eyes to light up when you hit the gas pedal, this mod is for you.
After buying this new Bronco, I knew the Pedal Commander® was at the top of the list, but I didn’t realize how badly the Bronco needed it.
There are many different throttle response controllers on the market. However, Pedal Commander® remains at the top. Pedal Commander® is made in Turkey and has been around since 2010. They continue to be the leader in the throttle response controller market.

The main benefit to me is being able to control the throttle response on the fly when off-road. When I’m in between no throttle and hammering down when coming out of a corner, it’s nice to have instant throttle available.
What is a Throttle Response Controller?
Throttle Response Controllers are designed to improve your driving experience by reducing the “lag” or “delay” in your gas pedal sensitivity.
From the factory, automotive manufacturers will integrate a throttle lag in the ECU so that your gas pedal is not so sensitive.
After installing a throttle response controller, you can effectively eliminate that throttle lag and feel the power faster. Furthermore, these controllers will allow you to control settings through many sensitivity increments. The Pedal Commander®, for example, has four modes and 36 presets.
Throttle controllers will not increase horsepower, and they won’t change shift points within your transmission. However, they will provide a much more enjoyable driving experience. After installing one of these units, you will be amazed at how quickly you can get to speed compared to stock.
Problem with the Bronco?
The Bronco has a really strange pedal lag. The throttle response from 1st to 2nd gear is incredibly slow, non-responsive, and somewhat awkward. It’s almost like Ford purposely made the connection well over 1-2 seconds long. However, once you get to 2nd gear, the Bronco picks it up, and then shift from 2nd to 3rd is relatively quick.
The main benefit of a throttle controller is that you can instantly feel the power in your Bronco. The minute you put your foot on the gas pedal, BOOM, you feel the response. There is zero lag.
That’s what you get from a Pedal Commander®, an incredible feeling and an improved driving experience overall. All of the slow, non-responsive, and somewhat awkward pedal lag is no longer present with the Pedal Commander®. If you want to feel like you’re in control of your Bronco, grab a Pedal Commander® and experience what your pedal is supposed to feel like.
