    My truck always seems to shift better after I unplug the battery for a while.

    I thought you had an 06? Or is this another Tundra you had prior?

    I haven't looked at the 2022 but the Cupra R is like a Golf R without the all wheel drive.

    I used rear bushings off an older Cupra R in my 05 GTI, now it handles corners with a Spanish accent.

    Don't get me started about the transmission. I've grown accustomed to it's funky habits and the dealership (allegedly) checked it out and gave it "all good" so I just expect it to sort out it's own issues like a grown ass person should.

    CC works fine with o/d locked out, just uses fuel at an accelerated rate. I can hold 4th with torque converter locked and manage the same pace getting 1.2-2 mpg better by using my foot as long as I’m not fighting a head wind. YMMV.

    Now that I've been through a few tundras I think 03-04 has the better tranny

    When I test drove that 05 I didn't find any extra joy with the 5 speed but I did notice the VVTI.
