    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a new 2021 Tacoma with the TRD package and an automatic transmission. From the first test drive I noticed a strange noise during transmission shifts. It is a soft "humming" noise just before the this shifts up and lasts for only about a second. It sounds a little like a big truck or a allison transmission on a school bus. I am just wondering if anyone out there has heard something similar

    Actually no, I know what a semi is, thanks.

    Just shocked your truck sounds like a semi. Definitely something wrong with it.
