2019 Tacoma limited disappointment

Welcome! Comparing a Tacoma to a Lexus? Really? Even comparing it to a Tundra is not right.
Sounds like you got the wrong vehicle man. Good luck.

 

To summarize your thread is I joined tacomaworld to post that I should have took it for a drive before purchasing. Lol give it time

 

18k miles on my 18 and it can’t keep 6th or 5th with any incline on the highway. Dealer wouldn’t apply TSB for transmission last time I was in so I’ll be trying a new dealer for them to apply it. It is my sole complaint with the truck. I’d be happy if it could hold 5th gear steady.

 

What is CAI? Sorry if this is a dumb question

 

The make these, too (the transmission, not the shifter)

 

You friggin manual guys, the only ones who should have Auto’s in these trucks are us dc long bed folk. Only reason I don’t shift mine myself.

 

Your problem is that you test drove a used, "learned" truck and bought a brand new "un-learned" truck.

If you will drive it like you just stole it for the first 10k mikes (fuel economy be damned) you and the truck will come to like each other. If you baby it over the same 10k you'll be miserable.

 

Just void your warranty and be done with it.

 

And here is an example of root cause.

Yes, you'd think they'd all be the same. But they aren't.

Hopefully it will get better for you.

 

I’d consider a LB DC manual if they made it. A MT isn’t a solution to every thing, but it’s always in the gear that you want.

 

The non manual is the only reason I don’t have LB

 

You can get a Sport Access cab LB manual

 

You’re right, it defiantly isn’t. There are a lot of guys on here these trucks would never please. I test drove both the manual and the AT quite a bit and in the end the double cab with the 6’ bed was more important to me. Personally I don’t have any issue with my AT, it drives like my 2nd Gen with an extra gear and an extra 4-6mpg, so I am happy ! I do love tossing gears though, so when if ever a DCLB manual comes around you’ll see me in it.

 

Sorry should have said DCLB, I traded in a ACLB manual because the dam kids keep growin.

 

ECT fixes the early shifting, but even with the TSB flashes, the cruise control is dogshit on the highway. You just have to either get used to it or try OVTune, which I have no experience with.

 

If you crank the radio and look away from the tach you barely notice the wild cruise.

 

Understood, keep in mind the access cab is 4 doors too

 

I wanted the access cab real bad, so I wonder would my animal have eaten my young ??? I got the double cab to fit a baby and a dog, maybe I should have got the access cab and let nature take its course

 

Warranty is overrated anyway
