When the A/C compressor cycles at idle the engine speed increases 200-300 RPM and makes it very difficult to drive in heavy traffic or parking. Especially in reverse since the transmission ration is lower in reverse. I can back my boat into the garage without using the accelerator pedal. The engine speed also speeds up (slightly) when turning in to park.The fast idle also makes the engine speed flare up when the transmission down shifts. With the A/C off it performs perfectly however I live in Florida and is uncomfortable to drive without A/C. The problem is very annoying and dangerous when driving at idle speed. I also do not like the computer controlled throttle system. It is very easy to spin the tires when trying to accelerate slowly.
I have have reported these problems to the dealer and their suggested fix is "A MODEL CHANGE"
Other then that it is a great truck but I would not purchase another one unless that was corrected.
truck idles at 1600-1800 in the morning when left for a period of time,takes 5 or minutes to come back to 1000rpm ,but suppose to idle at 750-800, toyota dealership i asked for them to show me a repair manual states what the idle speed is at factory specs of this truck ,they declined and did not show me they said its normal , i check with others on the internet like edmumnds and theres more complaints of this nature,,
