I mostly just see the Trd get crapped on for its seats and most complaints in general are about the price of any of the models really.
Charm or not these trucks are expensive and Iāll happily admit 50-60k wasnāt it for meā¦donāt need more anyways.
Is it nice ofc but gotta learn to be happy for...
Wonāt act like Iām the most active user but I canāt say Iāve ever had anyone bash my sr5 on here
Usually the opposite actually
That being said ofc they exist but.
Do you guys use 3 ton or 6 ton jack stands?
I only ask as I have a pair of newish 3 tons already and and hoping I can just get another pair of 3 ton for a full set.
Or if I need to suck it up and get 6 tons.
Iām curious to see how mine acts now itās been replaced.
It shifts better no more cold start hard shifts ect
Also itās common for these transmissions to be under filled from factory which isnāt helping
I lean towards this as well since in my personal experience, putting it into sequential and telling it what to do it runs perfectly fine
However, if you let it make the decisions it struggles
Tells me itās more software related then hardware related so I cope and hope itās still mechanically...
No codes no warnings other then a hard first shift after a cold start
Long story short it was slamming into gears hard while driving 7k miles
I did have the overheating on climbs and off-road ect but thatās extremely common
The official paperwork said high pressure in transmission they...
One more thing to add sorry for the triple post.
I havnt gone off-roading since I had my transmission REPLACED and I will say that this one responds to pretty much everything very differently then the last one did.
Coincidence maybe
In other words the transmission is constantly trying to shift to make the rpmās as low as possible to conserve gas in my experience going up hill it couldnāt make its mind up to quite literally save its own life.
Iām by no means smart enough to talk about this in anything but a broad sense but it is my understanding that the torque converter stays open when it should be locking up creating a ton of unnecessary heat.
When going into sequential mode and locking it at 2 or 3 the converter locks and...
UPDATE
Got the truck back yesterday few things I want to note.
I donāt have the paper work in my hand but it stated that the psi going thru the transmission was incorrect however it didnāt state what caused the failure.
Cost out of pocket would have been 12,500$
The truck shifts the...
The real test wonāt come till I get the new one.
Iām assuming itāll be a newer production unit since my truck was made. Will update when I get the truck back.
My main point is I couldāve just gotten unlucky or all these things being chalked up as ānormalā are issues that may not have shown...
Sorry thatās happened I know as far as these issues go Iāve gotten very luckyā¦.
Theyāve given me a loaner another Tacoma 2026 sr5 higher package tho.
Something I noticed transmission feels very different then mine as far as the way it behaves
Shifts way smoother just in general ānot that...
All things considered so far other then it going out things have been handled well.
Hopefully that doesnāt change.
And yea if I have another trans issue under warranty I may consider seeing the cost of switching to M/T
I like the benefits of the trans but I plan on keeping this truck a very...
