Sport Mode

Does anybody drive around town (45 MPH or less) and use SPORT mode? I get tired of having to push the gas to get out of 4th when im accelerating out of a corner, only going about 15 MPH. SPORT "seems" to be a little more practical. If I find myself going over 2000 rpms I upshift to 5th.
 
What year is your truck? You might need to take it into the dealership for them to perform an ECU update. There's a thread here about Toyota releasing a TSB. There are two separate ones that may address your "gear hunting" with what you described, so you'll need to determine which one better applies to you.

I did this. It was better like you said, and fun, because I wanted a manual. But I have since installed OVTune and it helped tremendously.
