Downshifting?

Anyone else feel like their tacos don't cruise well? For example when I am on the highway I take my foot off the pedal and the speed drops immediately...

I know people were having trouble with their trucks down shifting coming to stop and they would have to gas it instead of rolling to the stop sign.

Same concept but I feel like it's happening at high speeds.. is this normal and how the truck was made?

I did get my atf fluid checked as well with the tsb update

 

Your truck has the aerodynamics of a garage. It's the way it is.

I slow down even faster this the crap attached to my truck!

 

Its a truck. It has crappy aerodynamics. Its a truck

 

Gears. Aero. Normal.

 

Right there

 

I've noticed with mine, if I'm going around 45 mph, then I let off the gas and cruise down to the 30's or 20's, I often experience a harsh downshift where the truck jerks as if I had slammed the break for a half second... Is that similar to what you're experiencing?

 

My Jeep Wrangler with auto doesn't do this. The new Tacoma trans sucks! File a complaint Toyota, like me. I have an appointment on the 14th.
A regear will fix the problem.

 

Drive the jeep then.

 

My 2015 does this as well. I feel like I've got to keep my foot in it to cruise more so then other cars. Doesn't bother me, but it is normal

 

I do, Tacoma stays in the garage till a regear.

 

My truck gears down to 3rd whenever I apply the brakes just to slow a bit on downhills for curves....usually about 40-45 mph.....I have to either use select shift to up-shift or tap the accelerator.....extremely annoying....Post TSB.

 

This transmission does suck I agree

 

I actually like this feature of our trucks.... Keeps me from having to apply the brakes as much.

 

Mine quit doing the downshift thing after I put bigger tires on.

 

Auto problems ? ...

 

I bet you came off a car. Y'know to many guys who tow this is a feature? Engine braking is a thing, bud.

 

What is the gearing from the factory and what do you want to get it changed to?

 

Familiar with engine breaking but I prefer to do it manually. I didn't know a automatic truck downshifting on its own was really considered engine braking.

Thanks for the input though "bud"

 

Here's a good read....factory gearing on an automatic is 3.90 I believe.

No, I suspect he came off a bus; a short one.
