Acceleration Is Delayed in 3rd Gens

Unless you have a 4 banger.

 

I drove a 2017 TRD OR DCSB after it was involved in a front end collision, no airbag deployment. I think the frame was bent, considering how the bed didn't quite line up with the cab on the DS.

I only drove it about 10-15 feet but it felt great.

My opinion on these trucks, based on what I hear, is they are awful.

I forget, do these 3rd gens have a CVT automatic?

I've never driven a CVT that I was impressed with.

 

I don’t think one non-commercial truck model in the entire world has a CVT.
please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Right. Instead stock tune. Maybe I should say the first OEM tune?

 

Interesting observation. I experienced the same thing in my 2019. I drive 55 mile each way to work and home, I put it on cruise control at 70ish and the truck is constantly hunting for a gear. Down shifting and sometimes reving up to 3500 or just sitting at 3000 RPM’s as I drive. I have to step on the gas pedal briefly and it’ll drop down to 2100 rpms. Im not even driving fast. I drive on a flat hwy, only one small hilly section of 505 before I get onto I5 north.

 

Someone had posted a dyno result in one of the Threads, the Torque Curve was definitely weird, was full of peaks and valleys, sure the tunes try to smooth that out a little.

 

There's definitely deep valleys in two mid-range RPM ranges, before peak torque. OV tune fixed that up pretty good it looks like, still a dip but not as severe.

From what I saw when this 3.5l Taco debuted the torque curve was OK at low RPM - say about 80% of peak torque at 2k RPM - that's a good thing. The trouble always was the throttle response off the line, and that's all about the throttle-by-wire, it was engineered to be deliberately slow to react to right foot input. I guess that bumped the EPA mpg up some during testing.

As I said, 5th Gen 4Runner owners noticed the same exact thing. Complaints about the same 4.0l and same transmission from the 4th Gen, but felt slow and unresponsive off the line. Throttle-by-wire had a retarded response to the same input from the right foot.

 

Not gonna read this word diarrhea I stopped when you said "your a fucking idiot"... listen old man if YOU'RE gonna call someone stupid you should at least spell it right

 

You got internet raped

 

Yeah, god forbid anyone types fast on their phone and uses the wrong form or a word. That’s never happened before.


Atleast I got my their/there/they’re right in this message.

 

Hi Smitty! Good to see you're still around as miserable as ever

I somehow don't take offense when someone tries to insult me with the grammatical structure of a 5th grader, or people from Alabama... I just pity both

 

I didn't think they had a CVT couldn't recall.

 

Never 2 late too improove!

 

Easy, he’s offended and triggered.

 

Oh I get it, I'm a keyboard warrior! Wrong meme, I guess your MEME game is as good as your spelling

 

New member, low posts. First thing to post about is the 3rd gens. Trololol.

 

Ya wasn't hard to smell the right away. Surprised thread isn't locked.

 

the new TSB update made a huge difference for me with shifting and throttle response.

 

I just find it ironic that a guy shit posting about a third gen and it's lack of reliability is posting that while his truck gets a new frame...
