One quirk that Toyota has always done, and Ford hasn't: when the HVAC is set for front defrost, or defrost/floor combination, the AC is automatically turned on (even if the AC light is off). This is to help dry the air and defrost the windshield faster. The full on "front windshield only"...

AHHHH.... You were the seller of that high dollar Mk2 16v GTI. Crazy. Granted, that was likely the best all-original Mk2 to hit the market this decade. I loved my 16v GTI.

Towing with a manual 4G Tacoma isn't optimal, but at least with this trailer you're putting yourself in the best position for success. Also - any cool pics of the cars you buy? Are these for enthusiast builds? Drift maybe? 😎 For sure. I had to Google it a bit and found weight at a couple...

That's a badass trailer, and easily one of the lightest car haulers on the market. With that trailer behind your Taco, towing cars around 4k lb will be fine.

You don't even need to remove the wheels. Reach over the wheels and you have plenty of access. Look in your front fender today, and you'll see the four top studs/nuts and how easy they are to access.

Great news, and I'm glad you found a good dealer. They could teach some things to my local dealer.

This. The topic has been discussed before. The only thing one can do is to ensure that the truck is powered off during fueling (which is what resets the fuel tank level), and live with the fact that the truck is showing you miles to "E" which doesn't actually mean "out of fuel".

I'm not arguing, because I fully agree. BUT... Toyota doesn't see it that way 99% of the time. That's the unfortunate reality of the situation.

I fully acknowledge that the OEM shock mount sucks, and is too weak for the TRD ESCV shocks' compression spike. But it's also working good enough for 99% of Tacomas that have it. I don't see a way to get this instance warrantied without omitting the pothole from the discussion.

I'm 95% sure they will offer something to fix this. It might be refinishing, which is questionable depending on the vendor. This is the tool they used. The tech levered it against the edge of the wheel to pull the valve into place. Whenever I use this tool, I put a piece of plastic against the...

Technically, the city/county/state agency responsible for the road is liable to reimburse you for the damage to your vehicle. You could also submit a comprehensive insurance claim, since it is damage that occurred while driving. They would subrogate it to the aforementioned public agency. I'm...

It's 100% this. Call or visit them ASAP to report the damage @PNWkip .

Nope. Not according to the owner's manual.

OOOOF That's a tough one. If you have another dealership nearby, they might suck less. But if you have no other option, escalate with Corporate and ask them to present a resolution.

No. Toyota fobs shut I was about to post this same thing, and had an owner's manual screenshot ready. 😆 Current keys have motion detection and shut off at night. There's no need for any other preventative measures.

PSA: If your truck is having an issue, and the dealership isn't addressing it (or giving you the "normal characteristic" BS response) you absolutely need to call Toyota and open a case with the Brand Engagement Center. That's the only way you'll get anything done, and it will help other Tacoma...

The PIN can be reset in the phone app, under your account "Security Settings".

The owners manual has a section about this. It's the EVAP system self-check.

That looks really well built. How much does it weigh? The ONLY thing that I would change, which you can DIY, is to cut down the excess length on the latch screws. I know you can't see them when the panel is closed but it still bothers me. 😂 Unrelated question: Do your rear MOLLE panels fold...

The switch itself, depending on the truck model, is $250-300 and easy to DIY replace.
