Well, I was hoping to post a happier "yay I got my Taco" post and all is well, but alas..
Picked up a brand new Sport Premium from the dealer, drove it about 7km before the truck essentially lost drive and the errors in the title started flashing on the dash at me. Was able to limp it back to the dealer and am awaiting a cause. Wondering if it's related to this issue as the truck had only 5km on the odometer before I drove it off the lot.
I am frustrated that I don't have the truck, but not going to point fingers or get angry until the issue has been figured out, just needed a place to put my words down and hopefully give others some important info once it is resolved.
First edit:
Just got off the phone with the dealership. Looks like the transmission got stuck in 6th gear and overheated everything. Makes sense why I felt there was no drive as it was trying to start from park in 6th gear. Looking like they'll have to replace the transmission.
Second edit:
Dealer/Toyota will be replacing the transmission. ETA 3 weeks (ish)
Third edit:
Received the truck back on Aug 23 after a full transmission replacement. Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here.
