davidtan Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I was able to buy an original unused Cruise Control for the ToyoHome 6 cyl on ebay. The whole kit comes with very detailed instructions and seems pretty simple. Not sure if I will try to install myself or have an accessory shop do it. Anybody ever try doing this???

Derek up North Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Is this a kit of Toyota OEM parts or an aftermarket kit to be added? To be perfectly honest, I thought the V6s came with Toyota OEM cruise control already installed. I'm afraid I never thought about the 22RE.

markwilliam1 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've read cruise control on the 22RE does not perform very well. Difficulty maintaining desired speeds of 55 or more for some reason (vacuum?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanAatTheCape Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have found that the 6 cylinder cruise is only useful on flat or downhill roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkaman Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 i have found the same. great on flats, no so with inclines even small degrees of incline. joe from dover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrel Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I use my cruise all the time, all the way down to 30 MPH. Yes if using cruise and start to climb a hill or incline the transmission will shift out of OD. You take it out of cruise get to a speed you can maintain then put cruise back on, it will hold. 50,55, 45, you decide. If you have to shift into 2nd gear, which we do out west, I usually do not go over 45MPH and use the cruise. Mine holds very well. By the way my engine is a v6.

markwilliam1 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I'm speaking of the 4 banger. No experience with the 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 There are aftermarket CC's that use an electric stepper motor instead of a vacuum chamber to set throttle position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtan Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Its an original kit for the RV....seems to be built for Winnebago. Not sure if vacuum, but it does have some sort of air canister / chamber. i think just trying to go a steady 60 on flats is ok . Its like the gas pedal is at a wierd angle or position where my leg gets tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Runner Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We use cruise control almost always on the freeway (22RE with 4-speed manual transmission). Our travels over the last 3 years have been predominately going up and down the west coast. It has performed great from our prospective. Easy to set and adjust.
