I think that Toyota should build you a truck spec'd exactly like want and put you in a free truck to drive while you wait on it. Of course that is just me and don't expect them to do that, but I think that is what they owe you.

@Sandeep1994 to me it is very strange that having the AC on makes shifting into 1st hard. The only difference that I can think of is that the engine is probably idling at a higher speed when the AC is running. At least it sounds like the dealer really is trying to figure this out. Maybe it is...

Too bad about the codes - this is the one time when you wish that there were some there. I have only about 200 miles on my truck but it seems to shift perfectly and you can barely tell that the shifts have happened. How can you dealer explain how your truck has some weird shifts when some...

Cool, and you are right that rev matching just makes shifting easier, not harder. That behavior you saw is similar to what the TSB covers, even if it only affects 2nd gear for now. I hope the dealer figures this out for you. Good luck!

Yeah - it is hard for me to understand how you can damage a vehicle beyond repair transporting it, unless it fell off of a truck on the highway. I agree - it seems like Toyota owes this man something beyond, this is all that we can do. Maybe once they are in transport Toyota can't do anything...

I think iMT mostly comes into play when downshifting and it just rev matches which makes it easier to shift into a gear. The only time I have had to double clutch any modern vehicle was when going into either first or reverse, and not often. Definitely get the dealer to check that, even if they...

What @John Boyd said. If you can duplicate that on 4th and 6th you are almost certainly covered by this TSB and you need to take it to your dealer.

Yeah - same here. Those flairs look amazing.

This!

Yeah, I have always done my own oil changes with Mobil 1. When I traded in my Tundra they didn't ask any service questions and gave me a killer price. The only time I have ever been asked about the lack of dealer service was by a Toyota service manager when I took it in for a new bed under a...

That actually might explain it to some degree. The Toyota distribution by region thing is stupid and causes other problems in getting the truck you want. In all the time that I have been buying Toyotas I have only had one dealer willing to look outside of their region for another vehicle. They...

Man - that truly sucks. @Baltimore seems to have turned up a few red Limiteds and I found at least one last night. If we can find them why the hell can't Toyota? I know you were tracking inventory for a long time now. Have you tried to follow up on any of these mystery trucks that we can see but...

That sounds pretty good. I have not seen the Limited black interior, but the black in my Pro looks nice, although I have avoided black interiors for years. Luckily it is more of a dark grey than black, which is a plus. All things considered I would go with the grey, but you take what you can...

The seat belt on my Tundra was designed to keep the metal part of the belt away from the trim. If I put it back the way it was designed it never caused a problem. But when it was turned 180 degrees it could scratch the trim.

The software that manages the hybrid battery will start the engine to keep the traction battery charged as needed, and it is not under our control.

Yes. I had not seen the whole TSB when I posted that. There is a list of codes for transmission solenoid failures and at least one of them has to have been stored for the TSB to apply to your truck. Take a look at @Miqie's post above. If I had shifting issues I would pull the codes and see if...

@WKTJR1 Yeah, I guess this is not a process that any of us are familiar with. All of the Limiteds can't be sold before dealer arrival, but many of the top trims do seem to be. You would think Toyota would have the ability to find all the Limited hybrids which are not pre-sold and then let you...

@Gfenza89 You might want to pull the codes before you talk to your dealer. Your Taco could have stored them and not set the check engine light like happened on @Plumbers 1st Taco truck. That way they can't jerk you around and say there were no codes.

Yeah - totally different top hat - so no on the Icon reinforcement kit. I guess for now I will just hope that the OEM ones are OK. At least they are not the same part that we know can fail on the other trims.

Particularly your truck, which has some shift weirdness as I recall. Do you know for sure that your truck doesn't have any of the codes in the TSB?
