    Any luck on this? I was at my dealer this morning for an oil change and asked the same question. I would have been better off asking the brick wall outside the service department.

    Take a 2020 for a test drive while you're there and get it on the interstate. Note if there is any difference from you current truck.

    I'm quite impressed by the way that minivan took a 55 mph T-bone. Neither of you would be walking away from this just 20 years ago.

    Partial Update: My service mgr called me for further info. He had the regional Toyota rep in his office at the time. I'm waiting for more info from the Service Mgr, hopefully yet today. I will update with good news or bad news when I get it.

    A) Love your choice for the 2020, LEDs and cement!
    B) hate to be that guy but really liked your setup on the 18, was that stock stance and 265's?

    I absolutely hated driving my bone-stock 2018 at interstate hiway speeds. With any wind at all it just sucked. Very different than the several 2nd gens I owned.

    I don’t think there was anything wrong with it. It just wasn’t as nice of a driving experience. It felt underpowered to me unless driving in S4 or S5 and then mpg went to hell.

    watching this, as it looks like Cobra Boy found something in writing that the tranny is reprogrammed/recalibrated and wondering if your local Toyota dealer will do this for folks who complain...

    Ditto on my 2017.

    City + ECT = fun.
    Highway + cruise = torture.

    What model reader do you have? I don’t think I can see those details with my Bluetooth reader.

    I traded my 2017 for a 2019. The transmission shifting is greatly improved. It doesn't gear hunt like 2017 did.

    Sorry to hear about your truck man. Congrats on the new...I’ll just leave this here since she was named “Karen”...

    Hope this helps with the mending...

    I picked up a 2020 limited a few weeks ago, I have about 2k miles on it so far. My previous truck was a 2015 TRD OR M/T (currently for sale, if anyone is interested) The 2020 auto trans is hot garbage, if this is an improvement over the 16-19, I don't know how on earth you guys put up with it.

    On flat highway if I turn the cruise control up from 76 to 78 it downshifts, then stays at 5th for 10-15 seconds before it goes back into 6th - for a 2mph increase it needs to downshift, seriously? In the city it will quick shift and pretty much skip 2nd gear altogether when accelerating at a normal speed from a stop. If I have the radio up and can't hear the engine, sometimes I think the truck has stalled because if shifts into 3rd so soon it feels like it has no power.

    This is in addition to other quirky things the transmission does.

    Hopefully it gets better...


    There's airbags in the seat, so there's a ton of regulatory testing involved in the manufacturing process, plus obviously the cost of the airbag components. I would not be surprised at all if it costs that much.
