Manual shift mode? Just discovered it. What fun!

Do all second gen Tundras come with it? 8" Bam system sounds great it manual setting and fooling others at stop lights. Never knew? Love this truck! Peace. D

 

Never tried mine.

 

All my previous vehicles have had manual transmissions. In snow, downshifting did help to slow down in a controlled manner, but with all the bells and whistles on our trucks I haven't tried downshifting in snow with the manual shift feature thing-a-ma-bob.

 

My wife's new Rav4 has paddle shifters for manual use. Haven't tried those either, need to though

 

Me either, I just use Beast Mode.

 

I use it when cruising in traffic. Shift it into 6th doing 55mph (traffic) and I get better mileage. And it'll go back into auto if the truck thinks it should.

 

Yep. Sounds good with the TRD exhaust too. Wind it up each gear, let off the throttle and push the stick up to the next gear at the same time and pause. Sounds like a wannabe stick shift.

 

The wife and I like to cruise back roads here in the Ozarks, put it in 3rd and just kind of roll along. If I go down a hill and it's gaining speed I'll shift to 2nd and not have to use my brakes as much to keep a slow speed sometimes I'll go as low as 1st to crawl up some longer hills.

 

Push TOW HAUL if you have it and see what you get. BEAST MODE

 

That's what you mean when you say bast mode I just assumed like most other vehicles I've driven it just kept it out of od now I must try but I do like playing with manual shift too

Works freaking awsom

 

I got 4:88 gears and a real Auburn Positrac Limited Slip rear end too

 

They might check that Arrest box next time. Be careful.

 

Ya, here 20 over is automatic jail time.

 

i used it a ton when i wheeled through the floodwaters on calamity earlier this year. stupid awesome. great for railroad grade switchbacks too.

 

I love toggling the 6 speed
