We have a new to us 2017 Toyota Tacoma with towing package. Anxious to get it out and give it a try with our 16 ft Deluxe
Scamp.
The Toyota manul recommends activating the ECT when towing. It appears this mode has the transmission shift at a slightly higher point to make it easier on the truck when towing or climbing hills. What little I can find about it on line it appears it may lower gas milage.
Any recommendations on using or not using this feature when towing?
Also the truck has the S shift capability. As i understand it, this feature will limit the gear to go no higher than it is set at thus increasing engine braking. Sounds like a great feature for coming into Cherokee, N.C. from Maggie Valley. I could smell the
brakes last year with our Ford
Escape. any experience with this feature would also be appreciated.
