2020 Tacoma, an unexpected improvement

No, I noticed the same. The truck runs much more quietly and smoothly from inside the cab.

 

I think they added thicker glass to the 20s

 

does the remote start still turn off when you open the doors?

 

Yup

 

https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/tacoma so I'm confused u said the truck shifts better in the 2020 . but car and driver gives this truck a 3/5 and states it has a clumsy transmission .

 

how do you like the remote start, does the engine turn off when you put try and put it in drive?

 

Remote start? Not factory right?

 

Car and driver, lol. That is a prerelease article.
Go test drive one for yourself.

It’s great, no complaints at all. Yes, the truck shuts off when the door is opened.

The factory setup.

 

figured as much just wondering …. but a lot of people had no complaints about the 18 yet I wanted to drive it off a cliff with that garbage transmission lol .

 

The 2020 tune is the same as 2019/2018 as OVtune confirmed.

If it feels different is because your own care already settled the transmission learning into a certain pattern you don't like, while the dealer car hasn't.

 

Oh same here, my 2018 with the factory calibration was garbage.

 

Made my decision a lot easier.

 

I always wonder if it was/is the tune, or the actual hardware. It seems the trucks being made aren't consistently equal. Some work great, others don't. So I always wonder if the transmission supplier out of Thailand has manufacturing quality control issues. Sure seems that way considering the rear diff weeping that has been well documented.

 

I feel like that in many cases it is not the tune, or the hardware. Instead, it is the biggest variable of all. The driver.
