2019 3rd Gen Transmission Nightmare

Keep fighting the good fight my dude.

 

Bingo. Lol.


I fricken love my truck.

 

I'm just in to voice my love for genuine emasculation

Not sure what all this is about but skimming through here you all seem like a bunch a Mary's

Somebody lose a purse?

 

Everyone says this... but there are plenty of Tacoma’s getting 13-15 mpg. My tundra averages 14.5 and has a 38 gallon tank as opposed to the Tacoma’s 21 gallon tank.

 

I’m real confused why the guy with the second gen is in the third gen forum..

The third gen auto is garbage. It’s a known fact. It’s like every 5 threads in this forum.. its kinda what we do here.

 

The Tundra's 5.7 and six speed are super smooth. Using control, it will do what most vehicles do when you hit resume after slowing down. You may only need to get from 60 to 70mph, but it has no intention of using anything less than all 381 hp to do it. The bright side is, it only takes a second to do that.

It would downshift at most of the same places as my Tacoma and my wife's 4Runner, though it may only go from 6th to 5th. It's a good truck, but it's bigger than I needed and wasn't a great daily driver. I averaged about 14 mpg while I had it.

 

My definitely drives better when I don't baby it.

 

shoulda got the SR with a 4 banger and 5 spd.

 

use the SEARCH function and maybe you can become un confused Grasshopper

went without resetting the avg for about 1200 and averaged about 17, so I'll agree. Driving was a mix between calm and "I'll get there soon enough" to "google says 30min drive, we'll be there in 10"

Very much agree. once it's warmed up, it no problem going and the shifting is butter

 

Guac & Chris are adorable together... I take back every "mean" thing I said...

 

3rd Gen automatic transmission is fine. Solid. The 3rd Gen ECM software changed from sequential shifting to non sequential shifting.

 

Yeah i know.. i posted the link earlier lol

The trans can be made to work but its still geared too high from Toyota IMO. The difference between the MT and the AT is staggering. It’s hard to believe its the same motor.

 

manual transmission gate keeping. A tale as old as micropenises

 

Well, my tundra got 12, my taco gets 21...

 

That's why I drive around town with S-Mode in 3rd and leave it there. Older brother has a 2018 Tacoma 4-cylinder and once I showed him to just drive around town with S-Mode in 3rd or 4th... He's happy. Lots of torque.

 

Try using your right foot to push on the accelerator I know it can be scary but it’s your friend...

 

I had a loaner tundra for when my 2nd gen got frame replaced drove it the same as the taco got 12-15 taco (17-20 3rd gen) idk but I don’t pay attention to mpg too much just know I gotta fill my tank after work every other day.
