S Mode

I have a 2016 TRD Off Road, and every time I switch into “S” mode the truck automatically goes into 4th gear. Is anyone else having that problem, and is there a remedy to fix it?

 

Normal with all toyotas, its basically like the old days of turning off overdrive.

 

Okay. Bummer it doesn’t automatically adjust to the gear it is in based off the speed. Thanks

 

By kicking it out of overdrive you get a power boost. Nice trick when you want to accelerate on a freeway.

 

That doesn’t mean the truck is necessary in 4th. It will be limited to 4th gear until you change it.
You could be going 10mph and jump to S mode and it will show S4 but you may be in 2nd gear. As you go faster it’ll shift gears but then stay at 4 unless you change it if that makes sense.
