2020 Sport speedo off?

Anyone notice their stock 2020 Sport speedometer is a couple of mph slow?
At 75, gps indicates 73.

 

My 2011 SR5 read slow, and my 2017 Sport reads slow. It must be a Toyota thing.

 

They are all off.

 

Mine is off by 1 up to 55 mph, then above that its off by 2. Its just a gauge and I have never taken a speedometer to be dead on accurate. You are not going to get pulled over for 2 mph over, so if the speed limit is 75, I go 77 according to the speedometer and never had an issue.

 

My 2013 read 2-3mph slow with stock tires. After I put on 265/75/16’s, it’s dead on now.

 

In this day and age you'd think they could get it right.

 

I actually thought about doing this! LOL

 

They have, the discrepancy is by design.

 

They have to get it close but it'll never be perfect. Tire wear will throw the speedo off amongst other things.

 

To help with mpg numbers?

 

No

 

Please refer to my message above

 

Actually I have no idea

 

Every stock vehicle I’ve driven reads fast by a few percent at least.

It’s be design and I presume it’s to keep the speeding tickets down. No manufacturer wants to be sued.

 

I try not to sweat the small stuff

 

It should have gotten slower

 

Brought this up to my dealer when I bought my 2017 TRD Sport. They quickly whipped out the information from the warranty section stating that the speedo can be off by 5% without them having to fix it.

 

Me too!!

 

I could see a lawsuit if the speedometer read slower than the actual speed.

 

Here it is fellas:

US and Japan use SAE J1226, the EU uses something a little more strict. Regardless, if there is a discrepancy it can NEVER read under, but always must read over.
