I recently purchased a 2018 Tacoma TRD and notice a bit of a constant hesitation at highway speed under slight load.
When in sport mode, it lessens but does not disappear. I have taken it to two different dealers who both said that they have heard this similar complaint a couple times already and think it is the transmission shifting back and forth on economy mode.
They did not say there was not an issue but did say it drives like it is designed to drive. They did not admit there was a defect though as they said they all react that way.
Has anyone else noticed this issue in the newer models? A technician told me they changed engines and transmissions after 2016 and in his opinion it has gone downhill.
Any comments?
