On the Toyota 4Runner, the "ECT PWR" button stands for "Electronically Controlled Transmission Power". It's an innovative feature designed to adjust the shift points for a more sport-like drive. It allows You to reach higher RPM levels before upshifting to the next gear, giving You more speed and power for the ability to drive more aggressively. ECT PWR is touted as a benefit that gives You a greater degree of control over Your speed and handling. You'll be able to accelerate or pass more quickly while in the enhanced transmission mode, which is good news for active drivers. In essence, it gives You a short burst of power that You can use to get where You're going more quickly and efficiently.

@Antonio C’mon bro…it’s a Yota we’re talking about here! Long distance and extremely high mileage with reliability is what TOYOTA translates to in todays American dictionary for the wise and practical!
