Yesterday I did a steep climb (1300 ft in 0.6 mile) and noticed the trans temperature going up quite a lot.
Didn't get any messages or actually touched the red part but it got close.
Done the same trail (forest road) a few times on my 4Runner TRD Pro without problems, however there's no temperature information there so...
Did the same a couple times with a RAM 1500 and noticed temperature rising a bit but nothing concerning.
I kept 4HI, next time I'll try 4LO just in case. ON the 4Runner I did 4 LO or HI and worked great either way.
Going down I kept 4 LO and M3 as engine brake and worked great holding the LC down with minimal brake intervention.
The 4LO on the 4Runner let me drive quite faster than I noticed on the Land Cruiser. Feels like the 4 LO is very limited on the gears. I can't go past M3 on 4LO.
Anyone else noticing high temperatures on transmission after big climbs? And what is your experience with 4 LO ?
