The Tacoma still has the highest resale in class. I imagine it will only get better too as time goes on and the initial news cycle of unreliability fades

Fair enough. Maybe a whiskey throttle solves the issue. 🤣

Did the tune reduce the transmission “hang” during certain throttle inputs? Or is that just unavoidable with this high stall torque converter transmission?

If you’re doing 3-4 mph up a substantial grade in 4HI you’re asking for a transmission overheat with these high stall torque converters. Regardless, Toyota needs to address the issue. This guy is rationale and the dismissive nature of Toyota is not reassuring.

It really is a good sounding engine for an I4, I have the TRD axle back and I’m happy. My only complaint is when the high stall torque converter keeps the RPMs high on certain throttle inputs and it drones on. I wish it’d shift a bit quicker in those scenarios

I’m glad for the delay. It allowed myself more research and I’ll end up getting the Bilstein 6112s and the TRD UCAs and it’ll still be cheaper.

Sucks but I’m glad they’re quick to diagnose and issue these. Growing pains of a new generation vehicle

Shock Surplus has a video stating that the 5100s ride better than the stock OR suspension although they have less technology (ESCV, reservoir). They’re pretty reasonable but certainly not next to nothing. The OR suspension is good in some scenarios and kind of harsh in others.

I had a base SR5 as a loaner and let me just say I’m happy to have the Off Road.

The 360 cams come with the premium package. Which also includes leather and the moonroof plus dual zone AC. Seems you have a unicorn. Do you have the JBL?

I am waiting for the Bilstein 6112s to come out later this year. Best bang for your buck shock on the market and they’re built to last 100k.

Yes the base OR comes with the 8 inch. Odd that OPs upgrade package didn’t come with the bigger screen. It seems they added the moonroof instead

Can’t imagine this will be more than a software update. They’re definitely not ripping my dash apart to fix something I see as a non-issue.

Dealers may vary! Thankfully mine is rock solid. Shout out Bobby Rahal Toyota

I’ve driven my friends 3G Tacoma and this transmission is leaps and bounds better. If the transmission in your truck is worse than a 2G i have to imagine you have an issue.

I get at most 3 hard shifts when the transmission is cold and then it’s very smooth. Not uncommon for modern 8ATs. The ZF in my BMW did the same thing. Definitely not a reason to forgo buying the truck IMO.

Toyota will eventually address this, it’s only a matter of time. I’m sure they’re gathering data and working on this as we speak. These vehicles are too important to their reputation. Maybe that’s me trying to see the glass as half full but I believe they’ll make it right.

Interested to see those reports because while it was true in the prior gen trucks, the 4G TRD OR no longer uses 4600s. The 5100 is the same diameter as the stock shock but lacks a reservoir and the ESCV feature.

I I reached out to them regarding the Bilstein 5100 and that was just their response to me. The TRD lift kit is a rebadged 5100. TRD OR trucks will need to go to the Bilstein 6112/5160 to properly lift the truck without losing shock performance. Or obviously go Fox, Kings, etc etc.

According to Shocks Surplus the factory lift is a downgrade in shock for the TRD OR. You’re not missing out on anything
