Hilux auto 6th gear issue

Recommended Posts

To all out there with hilux/fortuner/prado 2.8 diesel auto..I have noticed an issue with my hilux that Toyota Australia won’t admit..vehicle will not shift into 6th gear under normal operating conditions (flat road /unladen/not towing/factory tyres/and no accessories as yet..the only way for it to shift into 6th gear is by taking foot off accelerator for approximately 2-3 sec or setting the cruise control..does anyone have this same issue? 
If you sit at 110kph and doing roughly 2000rpm your in 5th 

6th gear at 110kph is around the 1700rpm mark.

I would suspect most owners do not realise this 

Are forums dead or does no one care that there using excess fuel and wear and tear on engine components for no reason?

if you are in the same boat as me with a 150kw /500nm engine that can’t manage to engage 6th gear under normal conditions then I would be making noise !!! We need to fight all the corporate bs!!
