It is a manual, so if you leave it in gear the engine revs according to the speed you move.
If your Scion had an auto without lock-up or with disengage then of course the revs will go down if the load does too. If it has a CVT then sure the revs go down. Unless, like me, you give it so little that it cruises in its most extended position.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
