2020 TACOMA WONT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD

okay thank you

 

Where abouts? Someone might be close to you. Looks like around Yuma maybe?

 

I am in lake havasu - bullhead city area (arizona)

 

You dont need a lawyer to have the truck bought back. You can do it completely on your own. I did it with a Dodge Dart a few years ago. It is a lot of back and forth with documents and follow up, but it wasnt complicated at all.

Just contact Toyota corporate to get it started.

 

Also. Man am I glad I bought a manual.

 

I have a very similar problem on CC but I’m running 5.29 and 33/35 depending on the day with or without the tune and a ton of weight. So I stopped using CC.

 

I have put in for a buy back, i have received the letter of acknowledgment from toyota corp so ill see what they have to offer,

 

wish i had hahaha

 

if i ran 33/35 i wouldnt even complian haha its the 5100-5300 rpm that drives me nuts lol

 

33/35 in tires.

 

oh okay haha my mistake

 

All good!

 

Lemme know if u ever call me down to the valley. Might be able to help you out.

 

do you do the tuning?

 

I’d add in CC to the title.

 

it does it with it off also, just not as bad, will only hold for like 2 miles off rather then 5 with it on lol

 

Aye! Fair!

 

I noticed a similar issue with my wife's 2021 4Runner, with cruise on at 80mph it pins down and runs 4800rpms and doesn't like to up shift. I had a 12 hour commute so I had time to mess with it, for whatever reason when the trans wouldn't shift up I would just tap the gas with the CC on and it would shift up and be fine until the next hill where it needed to shift down. Now in my opinion this is absolutely stupid to have to "help" the CC. But I would be curious if the taco was the same. I don't ever run my CC on the taco since I am in town with a short commute so I couldn't say for sure. I realize they are two very different platforms but... designed by the same fellas no doubt. The 4runner loved 4th at 3000rpms and wouldn't up shift until I tapped the skinny pedal. if it was pulling a hill it would drop to 3rd and try to spin 4800 rpms at 80.

 

i havent looked into the 4runners but i wouldnt doubt it if it has the same drivetrain, let alone same engineers programming them lol

 

It's a different drive train for sure, 4.0L with a 5 speed trans but my point was I get the frustration and feel for you. I would be curious to know if giving the skinny pedal a tap does the same thing on your truck as it does on the T4R. Just seems odd to me that Toyota has regressed so far from building the R154 Supra trans that could reliably take 800hp on stock internals to a 6 speed shitbox that won't shift out of 3rd at cruising speed.
