Sport Mode

[n2wind2000]

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.

I do..I'm going to look into OVTune and possible 4.88 gearing..most people are very happy with either one or both

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 use sport and ECT all the time. Gives me the best gas mileage.

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.
