This guy used the Tacoma key card on his Tundra, so it should be possible. I guess with the right software & knowing what you’re doing.

How true! I can’t believe some places have things such as glass insurance. Here a windshield isn’t quite an oil change, but certainly more often than tires.

The other part of all this is the hype, which I kinda forgot about until rereading the thread title. I waited 8 months for my build, a timeframe most Toyota intenders are familiar with waiting for the perfect allocation. In that time I’d built up the car so much in my mind, just giddy with...

It’s entirely possible to test drive a vehicle & go as far as a purchase only to wind up in disappointment. First impressions are everything & perhaps unfortunately for OP impressions may not change. My advice though is to stick it for a bit (thankfully Toyota’s have about as linear...

I saw that checking on a Tundra. Sadly it’ll probably be a rarely produced color which will lead them to conclude people don’t want brown. I hope not because if it looks like I think it will based on renders it’ll be an awesome color!

She’s always up for going in the car! I remember this trip a couple of years ago now too. She couldn’t believe she was being given a front row seat!

I don’t know what they make these things out of, but it has to be about the most indestructible horse blanket fabric. Our fleet trucks get these & can’t wear it out. They usually don’t fit too bad either even if we’re long beyond the days with park bench seats in regular cab trucks.

Appreciate your well thought out comparison & decision process. Nobody can say youd din’t put effort into making your choice! Congrats on the Canyon. I do really like the Denali after checking it out at the auto show this year. Such a nice old school luxury interior.

I wish you all the best with the Land Cruiser! Curious to read your thoughts, here or there, as I compare the various midsize Toyota BOF offerings.

Thanks for a great explanation! It makes sense to me. I was trying to figure out how I’m not as satisfied with my cars as I used to be & wondered if something better might be found in a Toyota. Yet my current car is certainly reliable at least as I know it (the 2nd type). But it’s entirely...

Oh of course thanks Rui! Don’t ask me why I didn’t think of it. The hook side of Velcro would just stick right to the carpet easily enough.

Thanks for a great write up! Can I ask, how did you attach the patches to the carpet? This is an idea I’ve had for my car, why not document your travels? But I wasn’t sure how to actually do this.

Nothing like working old SUVs like trucks.

My plan is to keep my next car a decade or more. I used to be able to keep them that long & truly get my value out of them, but the last couple I’ve had have been quick turns. You wind up using, and paying for, only the most expensive part of a new vehicle then without getting a good lifespan...

Wow 22 years, that’s quite the impressive run! Congrats & enjoy your new one.

Wow. I am so happy you walked away from this. God was definitely looking out for you! Prayers for the people in the other car for sure. It’s odd how slow motion the dash cam makes everything look. But with the speeds involved you’d have zero fault with zero time to react. I hope you’re...

I can certainly get liking a different truck. There isn’t a bad choice. But in this market it seems Toyota remains the default choice & holding value that well means a lot even if you do plan to keep it forever.

Keep us up to date on what you think of it! An F-150 was my all time favorite should not have sold vehicle. But they are awfully large for parking around the city. SO I bought a good sized city car which is too small, so now thinking a midsize may be the way to go.

As epic as all the comments are, does anybody actually know what would happen in a situation like this? Instant write offs? I know the dealer couldn’t sell as new now, would they be repaired & put on the used side?

Thanks Dave. I too think my F150 did what it needed to when I had it. Now my challenge is to find what will serve my purpose & life now. I need to get over to the dealer I think & finally check out a Taco in person.
