Why Toyota so boring now?

i did some soul searching today, and drove the truck on the highway for 40 minutes. What strikes me is that the engine feels totally different at 3.5+ RPM. When I get to 4K RPM, it pulls like crazy. Such a weird power band.

 

This engine and auto transmission is a poor match. Bottom Line!

 

i have a manual transmission.

 

Reminds me of a Honda powerband.

 

Maybe keep it above 2k RPM?

 

That may have been a valid excuse for people that bought the very first units, but that's really no longer valid now that trade ins are generally available.

 

just floor it all the time !

 

1.5 rpm might be causing engine lag. Just a thought.

 

When I need to pull into traffic quickly my truck never lets me down and stalls/stutters unexpectedly....it makes me happy I chose to be a "Donor" on my license.

 

actually tonight, I drove around and kept it at 3k the whole way. I got better mileage.

 

My dealer told me I could take it for the weekend. Want the address? Actually, the Chevy dealer offered as well (on the Colorado).

 

Yes

Are you saying you could get a brand new truck past break in period with a test drive over the weekend?

 

I test drove truck I bought on a Saturday. Salesman told me that I could keep it till Monday. Drive it to work Monday an he would come an pick it up. I told him to give me a few hours with it. I was gone about two hours.

No phone numbers or address handed out for joy rides. Lol.

 

Agreed. It's called 'operator error' !

 

Toyota the pleated khakis of the automotive industry

 

You ought to search your soul for which story is actually true because you got called out at the beginning of this thread for having said in a previous post that you get great gas mileage. So which is it? Is it good or does it suck? Because you have said both. You also conveniently ignored the post that called you out for being a liar.

 

they feel funny and dont tend to last as long as a normal planetary automatic gearbox
