@TacoElgin I agree about looking up the VIN. If the truck you are looking at is not in one of the ranges you should be fine. Aisin transmissions in Toyota vehicles are some of the most durable transmissions made. It was bad luck for some buyers that Aisin screwed up, but Toyota is handling the...

Toyota could create a lot of good will among buyers if they did something like that. It really is their fault that you are without a truck, just as if it had gone out of service. I'm sure this is not a well defined situation for them, but they should do the right thing. I have shared my very...

Yeah I wondered about the halos. My truck is not in any of the ranges but I don't know if the ones that failed are or aren't. It would be helpful to know that too.

That is true. I get the feeling that a solenoid does not throw a code until it won't work at all, which is why the transmission stop shifting into some gears. But you have to wonder if your weird shifts aren't just a sign that they are damaged. Then you have to wonder if that is all that will...

I think that Toyota should build you a truck spec'd exactly like want and put you in a free truck to drive while you wait on it. Of course that is just me and don't expect them to do that, but I think that is what they owe you.

@Sandeep1994 to me it is very strange that having the AC on makes shifting into 1st hard. The only difference that I can think of is that the engine is probably idling at a higher speed when the AC is running. At least it sounds like the dealer really is trying to figure this out. Maybe it is...

Too bad about the codes - this is the one time when you wish that there were some there. I have only about 200 miles on my truck but it seems to shift perfectly and you can barely tell that the shifts have happened. How can you dealer explain how your truck has some weird shifts when some...

Cool, and you are right that rev matching just makes shifting easier, not harder. That behavior you saw is similar to what the TSB covers, even if it only affects 2nd gear for now. I hope the dealer figures this out for you. Good luck!

Yeah - it is hard for me to understand how you can damage a vehicle beyond repair transporting it, unless it fell off of a truck on the highway. I agree - it seems like Toyota owes this man something beyond, this is all that we can do. Maybe once they are in transport Toyota can't do anything...

I think iMT mostly comes into play when downshifting and it just rev matches which makes it easier to shift into a gear. The only time I have had to double clutch any modern vehicle was when going into either first or reverse, and not often. Definitely get the dealer to check that, even if they...

What @John Boyd said. If you can duplicate that on 4th and 6th you are almost certainly covered by this TSB and you need to take it to your dealer.

Yeah - same here. Those flairs look amazing.

This!

Yeah, I have always done my own oil changes with Mobil 1. When I traded in my Tundra they didn't ask any service questions and gave me a killer price. The only time I have ever been asked about the lack of dealer service was by a Toyota service manager when I took it in for a new bed under a...

That actually might explain it to some degree. The Toyota distribution by region thing is stupid and causes other problems in getting the truck you want. In all the time that I have been buying Toyotas I have only had one dealer willing to look outside of their region for another vehicle. They...

Man - that truly sucks. @Baltimore seems to have turned up a few red Limiteds and I found at least one last night. If we can find them why the hell can't Toyota? I know you were tracking inventory for a long time now. Have you tried to follow up on any of these mystery trucks that we can see but...

That sounds pretty good. I have not seen the Limited black interior, but the black in my Pro looks nice, although I have avoided black interiors for years. Luckily it is more of a dark grey than black, which is a plus. All things considered I would go with the grey, but you take what you can...

The seat belt on my Tundra was designed to keep the metal part of the belt away from the trim. If I put it back the way it was designed it never caused a problem. But when it was turned 180 degrees it could scratch the trim.

The software that manages the hybrid battery will start the engine to keep the traction battery charged as needed, and it is not under our control.

Yes. I had not seen the whole TSB when I posted that. There is a list of codes for transmission solenoid failures and at least one of them has to have been stored for the TSB to apply to your truck. Take a look at @Miqie's post above. If I had shifting issues I would pull the codes and see if...
