Breakin period and driving on the interstate

I figured. I knew responding to you that I would need to do the work. Lol when the sun comes up. But please do try. I have seen other post that left knowledge bare.

 

Mmmhmmmm

 

It's rainy so here is a pic from another tw thread(hense research please.)

Let me add, the numbers indicate gears. I know you always need extra info spoon fed.

 

What's an older Gen have to do with a 3rd Gen?

 

That's the same as my 3rd Gen. Keep swinging

 

No it's not....

 

Same format, yes

 

No.... It's not. What exactly do you think S mode does?

 

Again, instead of asking to be spoon fed, please try to help yourself.

 

Uh huh

 

I have owned both.just an fyi

 

OK.

 

At my own risk of wondering through the middle of a duel...

Is S-mode not the same thing as being able to put a 1st gen in L, 2, 3(OD off), D & 2nd gen in 2, 3, 4/D?

 

That just how he or she txt. They thirst for spoon fed knowledge (based on previous threads.) All good

 

I would take the trip but vary my engine speed. I would take a few unnecessary off-ramps, change my speed by 5mph off and on, use S-5 mode occasionally, and drive though a few small towns with a couple of stops. All of that might make your trip a couple of hours longer. It would be worth a couple hours to have peace of mind.

 

From the 2021 owners manual. Put it in S mode and push the shifter forward to upshift and pull back to downshift. According to page 211, S mode is only limiting the upper range of gears, so if you set it for S3 the truck will still use 1 and 2 as needed. At highway speed it feels like a pure manual mode because the truck isn’t downshifting past 4th gear very often. I would likely only use S mode towing or offroad.

 

OH My.......I don't have "S" mode. I don't have a manual, so I can't use a lower gear.

I only have L, 2, 3, 4, D and R.

Must be a Toyota defect. I'm going to the dealer today and DEMAND a new Tacoma, best on their lot. If they refuse, then I'm getting my lawyer involved to pursue a Lemon Law claim. While my lawyer is working the case, I'm gonna sit in the dealer lobby doing a "Ken" until I get satisfaction.

 

So it's not a manual mode. Weird.

 

I had less than a mile when i picked up my new 2020 tacoma...drove it 150 miles back to my home, most of it at 65-70 mph. No issues except the usual with these automatics not being educated yet. Truck runs great at nearly 7k miles now a year later.

 

Someone reading page 212 could read it as being a manual mode, even though it isn’t. Honest mistake, not worth getting into a pissing match over.
