Tacoma:What are the benefits of ECT-i?

[BIG WILLIE STYLE]

5-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission with intelligence (ECT-i)

[tbrown78]

The ECT-i improves fuel economy by using low-friction gear transfer technology, an efficient torque converter and an optimized gear ratio range. The transmission also utilizes artificial intelligence shift control, which allows it to change gear shift patterns depending on driver input or driving conditions. The transmission learns the drivers shift patterns and shifts accordingly, providing a more comfortable and personalized ride. It also incorporates uphill/downhill shift logic, which prevents the transmission from shifting into gear when the vehical is being driven up or down a hill. This feature helps to reduce gear hunting. Got it!
