its odd for sure. I know this, the Tacoma has never had a locking fuel door despite the rest of Toyotas lineup having a locking fuel door. The hybrid units are the first in Tacoma's history to get locking fuel doors from what I know.
While a totally failed transmission sucks at such a low mileage, I canāt help myself commenting that a $50K truck should not break. It does suck without a doubt. BUT
Itās a mass produced machine, and thereās a ratio of units to failures and itās called an average. Nobody on this forum will know...
internet is great for some things, attempt to figure out how many transmissions have failed, internet is not a good place. Tim Esterdahl of pickup truck and suv talk is as guilty as the rest of the internet. Ever seen his rant about Ford F150 and its differential rusting? And then his next video...
Thanks, this is a great review, I ordered the unit for between the seats and for beside the grand bar/shifter. I thought the same of the photo that the insert would give less depth to that area - but what you are saying is itās just a liner. Thatās disappointing. Iāve yet to receive the...
š¤¦š»āāļø a parking pawl is not part of the brakes. Itās in the transmission and all automatics have it. To that point, do I worry about a parking pawl failing or wearing out - never! Should the automatic parking brake be used at all times - Yesā¼ļø logic of using a parking brake to save a pawl in the...
Best to leave it on and use it. A parking brake that is in use all the time wonāt fail when you do want to use it in an emergency. Parking or emergency brakes should always be applied, that way it also gives you an idea as to when you may need brake work. Electronic emergency brakes are amazing...
Owners manual says it. Donāt drive in 4WD on dry pavement. Says only for tracks that allow for wheel slippage. Do as you want, but it is not good for a part time system. Want to drive in 4WD on pavement? Then you need an AWD (with a central differential) Actuators if you must āexerciseā them can...
:shock: agree with both of you. The fact that the aftermarket needs to come out with something like that so quickly to solve a problem on a brand new model is concerning. To that end, you'd think Toyota will fix the problem soon enough with a recall.
Iād also love a good quality plastic cost effective skid plate. For my driving I donāt need a $500 aluminum skid plate, but would like a better one than the OE skid plate.
Park assist - itās in the owners manual - page 85. always a good idea to look over your owners manual on the second biggest purchase youāll make in life.
I switched mine as well, they were in on sale for prime day. I bought the switchbacks, impressive at night you can see the amber signal reflecting in the road, they are really bright, would never see that with an incandescent bulb.
Thought most were from the Guanajuato factory - didn't think many or any were from Baja... good to know. Anyway, I didn't take photos, but looks perfect when I took a look at it. I don't want to jinx it but at 6000km (3700miles) no issues with it. My bed caps stay down, body lines seem fine...
I couldnāt resist based on this post - went and pulled the cover off under the knee airbag on the driver side to inspect the HVAC box for cracks, None found, looked perfect. From descriptions, seems to be an issue directly from factory, but wonder how many happen over time.
If you want to engage 4WD once in a while, fine - do it on a dirt road not on dry pavement, even in a straight line Small steering inputs still creates differences in speeds between wheels.
that said, engaging 4WD once in a while is old school thinking and not necessary. The reason it āwasā...
You donāt do it on drive pavement itās in your owners manual too (Page 404) You also should have never driven your 4Runner in 4WD on drive pavement either Unless it had āfull timeā 4WD. Itās well known you simply donāt do that in a part time 4WD system of any kind. You were wrong to do it on...
