It's been 2 years already, and 44 tanks of gas. How close was the EPA estimate to my real-world mileage? (Pretty damn close)
6-speed manual transmission
kept it in "normal" mode (no eco/sport)
city-dweller
occasional road trips
off-roading about 10 times
92 octane / top tier gasoline only...
Shoot I had mine reflashed today, and now I can't change the gauge styles or settings unless I'm not moving :( They are greyed out. Then when I stop they become available. What a downgrade
I was in for service and got the brake line recall on my '24 Tacoma. I took a photo before, and after. I really can't see a difference. Maybe the soft line is an inch longer in the after photo. Can you see it?

@gpburdell It's my first new vehicle and I don't intend to sell as long as it suits my lifestyle. At my rate it will be 25 years before I hit 200k.
The 1st gen I treated like shit. It'd regularly be 18 months between $20 Jiffy Lubes. But that was a different, simple, resilient 2.7L engine...
The first sample came with the Tacoma new but the next two I changed were Mobil 1 0W-20 Advanced Fuel Economy.
Amsoil / Oil Analyzers
Interesting question. My 1st gen had 200k miles when I sold it for a small profit. I drive less than 10k a year though.
I changed the oil at 3k, 6k and 10k and took samples to send in for analysis.
Anyway, it seems like it has broken in nicely. After the break-in period wear metal levels have been coming way down.
I took it out on some trails this week finally (I hadn’t been out since December).. got dusty and was impressed by the capabilities. A little about my build- it’s a TRd off-road premium imitating a Trailhunter:
SDM, Rock rails, skid plates, trail exhaust, recovery hooks, grille, +20mm wheels...
Can confirm. 165 seems to be the sweet spot. I was driving around after my heritage grill swap for several months with misaligned camera. It made the the backup mode and side view askew… kinda bugged me and I finally took the 5 minutes in a square parking space. It never looked perfect in...
I carved out the bump in the bracket so I could flip my camera manually so I wouldn’t have to reflash to type 2 grille... only to find out it was upside down after doing that. (I had misunderstood, lol, his bracket already was flipped!) So I took it all apart again and installed it the way it...
I used the bracket but didn’t flip my camera (rave style) because I didn’t have a way to change the camera to upside down. I think the problem with that is the camera is not symmetrical so it ends up too skewed-exactly like gurvey said…. This can’t be a matter of adjustment, I gotta do what he...
I’ll be interested to see what the fix is. Could be a zip tie. Doubt it would be anything more than replacing the soft lines. Maybe an angled or offset port fitting?
