Fair enough, had to ask. I'd just thought of it since while it was a totally different vehicle my old '08 Acura MDX had a 2->1 shock when I would drive it in S mode instead of D. In that case I think the transmission was trying to hold gears longer to simulate manual transmission performance, rather than letting the torque converter disengage when you would come to a stop.Does it in both modes.
Are you guys all on stock tires or is anyone running 33s or taller? I suspect this issue has to do with how the transmission ECU chooses the gear based on engine load, wheel speed, etc. It's something Toyota could adjust with a software update, with the downside that performance might end up feeling sluggish. Curious if larger tire sizes might mask - or exacerbate - the issue.
If it's bothering anyone tremendously let me know and I'll be glad to swap your 2018-2021 with my 2013 which doesn't have this problem
