    The shift points are probably integrated in the ECU. So you would have to reflash it somehow. It's not like the old TH350 which you could only turn a lil screw and thats it.

    My last truck was a GMC and we could adj tire size and shift point with a lap top. I assume toyota would be the same

    Maybe there's a difference between a 07 and 13s ecu. I have to let my foot completely of the gas for a few seconds for it to finally shift. I will call the dealer tomorrow but they're probably gonna tell me its because the tires and there is nothing i can do.

    The dealer cannot change your shift points. Shifting is controlled by the ECM, and they will only have access to the same program already loaded to the ECM.
