Hi folks,
Picked up our 2011 GXL diesel automatic last Thursday and have a question about the gearing and RPM.
Our Prado seems to be reaching top gear (5th) extremely early, such that around 75-80km/h, it's in 5th gear at 1500-1600RPM and the green ECO light is on. When it's at this high gear at such low speed and RPM, to me it sounds like it's labouring, though as this is my first diesel, I thought I would ask if it is normal.
So my question is .... is it normal for our 150 to be changing into 5th gear at around 75-80km/h, sitting at 1500-1600RPM, with the engine sound resonating through the cabin?
Thanks in advance
Sass.
