My 2013 GXL 150 seems to have a gearbox brain fade whenever I go down a large hill towing the camper. Every time I go down a long steep downhill using S selecting 2nd or 3rd by the time I get to the bottom of the hill the Prado wont go into 5th gear.
I tried D and also S then selecting 5th gear but no go. I stopped and when attempting to restart it was in 2nd gear (second start not active).
I turned the motor off, waited a short time and restarted. No change.
I ended up stopping for lunch and after half an hour restarted, it was all good.
I have been down the same hill four times and it does this every time. So if you are heading north on Cunningham's Gap with a trailer let me know if you have the same problem.
Would appreciate knowing if anyone else has had the same problem or if you know a fix.
