He did say that the Tacomas recently had a software update for the transmissions to address some issues, but the Tacos evident;y have a newer/completley different tranny than the 4R. At least that was my understanding.

Just wanted to say I have the exact same issues as described here JAXJeremy. Just took the last half hour to read this entire thread.
I have a 2010 Trail edition. Have the same exact rumble as you, the same conditions bring it on.
Had it for 3 months, 75k miles on it, I've put on 3k. Brought it in to a different dealer for oil change, told them about the shudder.
They ran the VIN and said they'd actually seen this car earlier this year, previous owner brought it in with these symptoms. (In my head: "Oh ****.")
I will quote the National Service Record they printed for me:
"CLUTCH / TRANSMISSION C/S THERE IS A SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING 30-40MPH -- LOW REV AND PRESS ON GAS SLIGHTLY -- SHUDDERS -- WHEN PRESSING ON GAS HARD THERE IS NO SHUDDER ~~ CONFIRMED FAULT -- FOUND INTERNAL FAILURE STARTING IN TORQUE CONVERTER ~~ REQUIRES TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT -- DECLINED"
So he brought it in, didn't fix it, and sold it to a different dealer (the one I bought it from) without disclosing this.
I have an appointment with the dealer I bought the vehicle from later this week. Will keep you posted.
Any updates with yours?
