Do you own this car? I’m thinking about getting one myself but I live in northern NY with lots of snow. Just wondering how it dose in real snow, given I would have to put snow tiers
Had is350 fsports rwd and it was nightmare during winter. Now driving awd dynamic handling 350. Would love to get one of these 500 LE but how it does in heavy snow if you tested? And will oem tires will be fine during winter or i will need winter tires
I want it so bad but can’t have RWD in the snow. I’m in NY and go on long trips snowboarding. Had a RWD is300 back in the day, it was a nightmare. Can this really hand serious storms? Def not
If your babying it like that it shifts slow. The speed of the shifts is directly proportional to how much gas your giving it, at full throttle they are instant and brutal. I would say it's a downside to this transmission, but when your on it, it shifts as fast as anything. Side note, something I found out yesterday, to actually get full power in 1st, 2nd and 3rd you need to completely turn off traction control, if you don't the TCS just keeps cutting power to the engine every time it senses any slip which will happen pretty easily in the first 3 gears.
I just got mine in Greacian water a week ago, haven't tried this yet as I'm still I'm break in period. But I was messing around and just wanted to point out that you didn't turn the traction control right off, if you hold the button down for a while a light will come on on the dash showing that it's right off.
@@tausbari1508 lol well considering the 5.0 has been in a good amount of cars im sure more than 5 people would buy one just because you dont care doesnt mean no one else does also a mustang isnt 4 door and Japanese Cancel Reply
Toyota doesn't have a manual trans fit for the application (only RWD manual is the GT/GR86 with way wrong ratios and strength for the V8) and I know they wouldn't want to develop a new one, nor do I see them phoning up Nissan or Tremec for one of their great manuals
It's all about how much gas you're giving it. Near redline it bangs off shifts really fast, especially with high throttle input. If you're big-toeing the throttle, it is going to sleep.
@@cwx8 That's not an excuse, that's how a load sensitive transmission works. Stupid folks will sit here and claim every down shift at 4k requires a blisteringly quick response, when the vehicle actually shifts to give the smoothest response. At high RPM, the car shifts in 0.1 seconds. If you're not braking hard or getting close to redline, why are you fucking with the shifter? Maybe learn to setup for a corner before talking.
