Cruise control issue?

What's up all? Have a 2005 tacoma double cab, SR5 4X4 and I'm not real sure if this is a problem or just poor programming by Toyota but my cruise control acts real stupid when going up hill, even a very slight hill. It will constantly shift up and down a couple gears to try and maintain speed which causes the motor to Rev high and low repeadedly.

Anyone have similar experiences or fixes? Or is this just normal?

 

Is it just hunting? .....or does the trans slip when u get on it hard as well?

 

Mine does the same thing. It regularly goes 5+ mph above the speed it's set to up hills as well. Every Toyota and Lexus I've ever driven has whacky cruise control.

 

Mine is the same.

 

Normal. That is why on cruise and starting up a hill I just press the gas a little to keep it going to maintain speed.

 

joo can do this?! Never tried it, but on long trips it does get annoying...

 

Annoying, but it is what it is... Every Toyota I have ever driven with cruise control was like this.

 

Hmm, no matter what I do my cruise control doesn't take me out of 5th...

I'm sorry I had to.

 

This is exactly what I do. It's just really annoying. I typically feel it going between 4th fifth and sixth gear when going up even a slight hill. I was figuring it wasn't a problem and it was probably just for ramp up programming for the CC but wanted to put the feelers out.
