Fast idle on 2007 Toyota Tundra?

[Buckeye 1984]

I bought a new 2007 Tundra last summer (4.7 V-8, 4WD, automatic trans.) The truck seems as if you have to brake constantly to simply hold it back. it is very annoying at traffic lights etc. On a level surface, I can simply remove my foot from the brake and gradually proceed to nearly 30 mph without touching the gas. The dealer says this is typical of this vehicle (fast idle). I have driven for 40 years and have never encountered this type of problem. Has anyone else experienced the same concern? At what RPM should this truck typically idle?

the dealer i full of shit. Go back there and raise hell.

There is no way in hell you can adjust the idle. Its all electronic.
That last poster knows nothing.

Most any vehicle I have had with automatic transmission has idled at about 600 rpm, once it comes off of fast idle when cold. However, some vehicles (including yours) bump up the idle when the AC compressor is running (which likely includes defrost). Maybe they boosted the base idle to avoid complaints of erratic idle.

Does the emissions sticker under the hood, or your owner's manual, list normal idle speed?
