Hybrid behavior in cold weather - electric motor spooling up less?

[TrdProGirl84]

I am just talking normal driving, not overly aggressive. I honestly have never had an issue with the hybrid engaging when a "get on it". But that isn't the issue here.



Colder temperatures definitely impacts the hybrid system engagement. Even going from high-20s to the 40s I can see the system engage more.

I’m not seeing wht you’re seeing in my Pro. I live in Georgia

I'm not seeing any difference but the turbo lag in snow when you stomp it is fun

also note start/stop will not engage when the temp get too low (as stated int he hv manual). in ND the last few weeks, being below zero, the start/stop has not engaged like normal. i think once or twice when the vehicle and interior were very toasty.

yeah my northern tier friends

we had some -25F (-31C) ambient temps last week. the tundra had to remote start daily and or drive it around some to keep the battery from dying from the over night temps (it sits outside 24/365)

the 4R sits in the garage but at work it struggled a little sitting outside for 11hrs without a start in those temps ( i work 4x10's)
