    I've followed various treads regarding getting the dealership to install the latest version but I'm still a bit confused. Mine is a 2018 I purchased in January (Built in San Antonio) Nothing has been messed with regarding the ECU. Around town it shifts pretty well no matter what mode I drive in, which is usually S5 and sometimes with ECT activated. A few times driving on the freeway I did get a little annoyed by the gear hunting while in D mode. I don't do a hell of a lot of highway driving so my sample size is small.

    So, I have an appointment on Thursday to get the tire rotation and other scheduled maintenance done and would like to have them install the latest-greatest. What specifically (TSB etc) do I request?

    My automatic was built in San Antonio in July. I had TSB 0058-18 downloaded and I'm thoroughly pleased with what it did to my truck!

    I had TSB 0058-18 done at Tustin Toyota yesterday. There is a difference in the shifting. It doesn't seem to go into 5th and 6th as quickly around 40 like it did previously. Going on a road trip on the weekend hoping an improvement will be more apparent.
