NEWBIE- 2013 Double cab Offroad 4x4 Tacoma...sorta disapointed.

Hi there...My first tacoma....Overall I like the truck but the Engine braking has become so unbearable that I resent driving it...I just WANT TO COAST IN PEACE!!!!...Anyways, Hi everyone...I have developed a wealth of info on this site in the past 2 weeks Ive had it.

 

Welcome to TW

Man, didn't think it was that bad... Maybe shift into neutral when slowing?

 

Disregard then...

 

I'll take the truck off your hands.

Put it in neutral.

 

I tried the Neutral thing...but ive become obsessed over it...This thing is great on the highway and offroad...City driving SUCKS!!!

 

Engine breaking in city stop and go traffic ?

I only notice it on hills

Well hills obviously also....Like for example I live in a suburban/city area in NJ...most roads are 40mph...So ill getto 45-48 and eventually I have to slow down...I let foot off gas and its like the transmission shifts down to first gear...why cant it just slow down like normal cars..Can this issue be fixed?

 

Mine doesn't act like that ^

 

I doubt it shifts to first at 45 mph

 

Ok well now im def having it checked out next day off...The truck I test drove did not do this on flat pavement...im tired of babying this truck and wondering when itll do it next.

 

Code:

Im sure it doesnt but the whole truck jerks. I had a buddy follow me behind and he said its extremely noticeble when it happens

 

Hmm , mine doesn't do this

Your truck is fucked dude

 

Dude can you post a video? It sure would help us figure out what's going on

 

OP , it's a 2013 , take it to the dealer and get a tech to ride along

45-48 mph may be torque converter lock up range? Not sure what it is on these trucks. Since it's brand new you may want to give it some time to let everything break in?

 

Yes
