Lower gearing?

rpoint16 · 11-01-2007, 06:50 PM

I've noticed around speeds of 25-30, & around 40 or so,when I let off the gas, the auto trans drops a gear. It's noticable, not earth shattering though. The Dealership said the new trucks are geared lower like cars & it is normal??

Both of my 95's would coast for awhile till the truck slowed down...

Just weird.

i think its engine braking more than anything else, and its very normal in the 05+ tacomas.

my truck doesnt downshift at all when i let off the throttle, i'm at somewhere around 14k miles since i bought it new in May 07, yea i know i drive too much haha, anyway mine coasts fine and dandy, altho it does seem to drag down faster than a couple other cars i've owned, probably due to the fact that it's a truck not a talon
