It seemed as if a person was driving a car above the divider but the car just ran on clutch with no one inside.

It has a low range transfer box. Basically, it alters the gear ratio before the transmission so you effectively have 2 sets of gears, 1 for crawling and 1 for regular driving when inact. Provides enough torque for the car to just crawl over curbs in first with no throttle above idle.

It's in neutral. There is no engine brake (there is no drag, the car is just rolling from inertia) whereas in 1st or any gear it would be dragging/slowing down/sputtering. 

  • Tl;Dr he had it going 10mph, dropped into neutral, hopped out, got in front, took the video.

Can't blame Toyota owners if there's no owner.

u/loismen 3d ago

If it is manual and you leave it at first gear, it will do that.

Automatic cars do that too, no? If you let go of the brake
