To revive an old thread, on the SR with stock 245 70 r17, I was reading about 8% higher than every comparative measure (radar speed checks, speed matching friends) and I never thought to compare odometer readings
I just put on 33s as well (255 80r17) and my speedometer is reading exact. In...
Do you reset your avg? If not, its not reset by tank (as other Toyotas have in the past) or trip, the fuel average in the dash does not reset automatically and will show you your fuel mileage since you bought the truck
Your truck is absolutely still in the break in period. I was getting ~3-4mpg less for the first 2000 miles.
Since I have a manual, I took off the air dam to help more with coasting, and that’s helped even more, getting me up into the 23-24mpg range. Also driving in eco mode decreases boost...
Can confirm on the 6MT. Averaged 26.7 mpg over an entire tank for almost 400 miles. Lots of mountain driving, but also just hypermiling on city streets with little traffic and coasting even while in traffic
Oh man that’s awful, seems like the imt was a dud too. It sounds to be the same situation with the rav4 I mentioned earlier: Toyota sacrificing quality control just to get some on the road quicker and fixing the issues on later builds while just telling the earliest purchasers to suck it up and...
Ah man, I’m so sorry to hear that. A family member got a 2019 rav really early after release, and there were a few issues with it, mechanically and software. They had to have the automatic transmission software updated because it would hard shift into first if you were rolling at 5mph, and the...
Interesting, Toyota has really struggled with new releases of generations recently (thinking of the RAV4 redesign issues), but I hope this is just an isolated issue, and not deeper quality control concern.
Separately, I’ve also got a 6MT with about 3500 miles on it, how’s yours handled the...
Do either of you have pictures of your covers installed so I could get a sense of how they look? It may also help other people if they're deciding on what to buy
Could you attach a new link to these? The Amazon link isn't working on my end at least
I know it’s been about 2 weeks since you posted last, how have you been liking it so far? How’s it worked for day to day life? Any recommendations or warnings? Do you have any more pics of it?
Thanks in advance, and great review, appreciate you putting this out here
Yep, the uppers look right (airbag flap to door), but those bottoms are switched. I did the same thing when I put on the drivers side, and the pinch at the seatbelt annoyed me enough that I went through and swapped it just so I wouldn’t think about it forever haha
If I’m looking at your fronts right, you may have the two seat cushion covers switched. If it’s worth the effort, the orientation helps fit around the seat pivot and buckles much more comfortably
If I’m understanding the question right, I noticed they looked a bit silly when I put them on first as well. When I lifted up the bottom of the seat after install, I pulled the material through from the bottom side, and that helped a lot instead of trying to push from the top. Let me know if you...
Here are some pictures from immediately after install (I put two of the head covers on the wrong ones). The creases were just from shipping, and worked their way out after a day or two:
I got the these EKR Covers about a month ago. Really satisfied so far. They went on pretty snug, but they do not sit flat against the seat unless there’s weight on them. That’s the only downside so far. And maybe that they show water or any spills, but then they’re super super easy to wipe down
