Do you like cruise control?

Can't live without it as I drive to Illinois from South Carolina several times a year. Installed OEM in my 2.7...can't believe it is not standard on all vehicles now.

 

finally a good reason to have manual.

actually, on my 04 on hills i don't have much of an issue.

 

according to your scanguage???? i wouldn't trust that at all - how about just simply dividing your miles driven by that amount of gas you refill with (including a potential adjustment for tire size)?? that number must've been lower?

 

His mileage isn't that suprising , I average 19.5 US MPG with almost no highway driving in my DCLB Sport with a lift and a cap

 

How in the hell?...that is great!

 

Tap the cruise control up for a +1 mph bump in speed. Tap twice to go up +2 mph and so on. It's easy to dial it in to get the exact speed you want.

 

I found it interesting that there is a low threshold for the use of CC. While goofing around in the desert I probed the system at slow speeds (5-10mph) but was not able to activate the system. Perhaps you found the lower limit.

 

OZ drives like a dead grandmother

 

Not true

Live grandmother at least

 

On my trips back to Nebraska i like it in the flats...any hill though and you get the annoying dropping a gear for half a second then off then on etc etc

Other than that though i love cruise. My old car didn't have it and road trips sucked!

 

Seriously...how can this not be a standard feature from a car company that touts its strides in fuel efficiency? Granted, it was easy enough to add to the truck, but still!

Oh well, rant over. I still love you Toyota.

 

With my 6-speed it's awesome, it doesn't go crazy and shift for me haha if I don't get caught behind traffic on hills, I can go from Flagstaff to Tucson (College in Flag and girlfriend in T-town) without ever touching the pedal, shifting or anything. For a 4 hour drive, that's pretty damn good.

If anyone has ever done that drive, they know the mountains between Flag and Phoenix can be a bitch. I'm still surprised I can do the entire Verde pass in 6th gear.

 

I love to cruise.

Last year I had a chance to drive an Audi A8. It had adaptive cruise. It has radar that detects the speed and proximity of a car in front of you and it'll automatically throttle down based on the amount of preset tailgate distance you choose.

No barreling behind a slow vehicle and having to suddenly braking or reducing/turning off cruise.

I also wish Toyota would put the cruise controls on the steering wheel across from the volume buttons.

 

Did this work well enough that you completely trusted it?

 

Really surprised at how well it works in mine very seldom hunts for gears stays at consistent speed much better than my last truck.and I hope to keep from any more tickets now that I use it

 

Mainly used on low speed roads to keep me from a ticket

 

I just drove from Paris to Nuremberg today, it took quite a few hours but cruise control at 100mph was awesome on the autobahn and just in case you were wondering, yes you can go 120mph+ in the 4.0v6 6spd. I had to check it out for myself. It was climbing the hills of Bavaria like a champ, no shifting gears. I can't for Oktoberfest. Jealous, right?

 

Very jealous ! My God the beer !!!

 

X2. There's no way I can drive 40 mph on a straightaway that should be 50 or 55 - it's just a revenue producer for the town.

 

without a doubt.. love it... just wish i could use it towing my boat...
