Royal Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 My '85 Toyota Sunrader (22RE, A43D, G292) does not have cruise control. I have been considering the Rostra 250-1223 unit and would appreciate any comments or advice regarding this unit or any other that might be preferable.

Maineah Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Frankly with a 22RE it won't be much good it's just barely adequate with a V6 there is just is not enough power for the weight to hold a steady speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 I understand the problems with the vacuum systems, but thought that one of the electronic systems would work well in the relatively flat southeast US where I plan to do most of my RVing. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The problem is lack of power it will constantly try to downshift on any hill you maybe OK on dead flat land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It will work, BUT your right foot is way smarter. The medium size rolling grades are going to cause the CC to down shift at full throttle to maintain the set speed. Also no OD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Also depends on if you plan on doing freeway driving. At freeway speeds the wind is essentially a hill. The faster you go the steeper that hill is with a high vehicle like a motorhome. Over 2 hundred dollars to install cruise control on a 22re is a complete waste of money. Just drive Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny sunrader Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Instead of C C has anyone tried putting in a hand throttle? It may work better, this is old school cruise control! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 OK. I've got the message. Cruise control is off the list. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
