I'm just surprised you're ready to bail. Living in an alternate universe must get lonely.

You should - you have nothing else.

Yes, the default transmission up shifts too quickly, and that annoys some people. The people trading their trucks in are in the minority, but that is irrelevant to this discussion. I rarely use ECT because I know how to actually step on the gas pedal. I came from a 5.3 V8 Silverado, and I find...

Yeah yeah, more nonsense. Again, nobody said you have to drive the pistons out of these trucks to find their power. Higher RPM doesn't HAVE to mean 5,000 and up. They proved that the late models are better at hauling, THE END. Stop making excuses. Have fun in your Ford. When everything breaks...

First you say high RPM isn't usable, now you say anything under redline isn't usable. I'm not sure where you're coming from. The Ridgeline looks like a car with a bed, and couldn't be any more vanilla. I yawn just looking at it.

It is you who isn't understanding. Usable power (necessary power is some cases) falls far below redlining the RPM. It is well established that the newer Tacomas have more power in the higher RPM range. TFL Truck simply demonstrated this in an extreme manner. Beyond that, because both Tacoma...

Right, because no Tacoma owner will ever tow or haul anything going through mountains, but they will be flooring the gas between stoplights every chance they get. Whether at max load, half capacity, or empty, it was clearly demonstrated that the 3rd gen has more power in the higher RPM range...

But can in real world, useful situations. LOL! Apparently my truck tows just fine.

Check out the TFL Guantlet Challenge. 3rd gen beats 2nd gen by 44 seconds.

Maybe some backwards fender openings would add power.

I'm not sure where you came up with this. I never hear 3rd gen owners bashing previous model Tacomas. Maybe you're just sensitive, or you have a relevance complex. The only negativity I've seen is from you.

What's there to know? You posted a video of your supercharged truck beating a stock "Turd gen". That actually says A LOT about you.

And you sound like an idiot whose impressed by his super charged truck beating a stock engine - that's real ricer syndrome "bro". Sorry to put you in your place. The better power curve has been proved in real world testing. Watch the TFL Truck Guantlet challenge if you need to see it yourself.

You'll be glad you got a 3rd gen. I get compliments on mine all the time.

Rewatch the video and you'll see that the driver of the 3rd gen was at an angle on the starting line in the race with the 2nd gen. He had to turn the wheel to straighten up as he hit the gas, which means that the result of the race was more dramatic than it should have been. The 2nd gen is no...

I'm calling BS on this. No way a stock 2nd gen is that much faster than a 3rd gen. If the 3rd gen wasn't using ECT this video is pointless.

What did they discover?

Does it happen with ECT engaged?

Is the flashing fixing the frequent upshifting?
