Gonna toss in a vote for bronze. Everyone and their grandma run solid black wheels these days. I personally don't see the point in even caring what the spoke pattern looks like when they're solid black because they all look the same from 15+ feet away.
Bronze would look good and stand out in a...
I've been considering these as well to replace my factory TRD tube steps that are slippery as hell as soon as they get wet. I think these look a bit better as well, but I feel like I've read somewhere that they sit a bit higher up than the tubes.
No... mine doesn't fall into the TSB, thankfully. No issues otherwise and this RPM bounce seems to rarely occur and always goes away with just the tiniest bit more throttle, which leads me to think that it's just weirdness from the computer/stock tuning. Mine has been on 91 octane non-ethanol...
2024 non-hybrid here. I've noticed this with mine a handful of times.... Only during some really low speed cruising down neighborhood streets and such.... I typically just give it a little more throttle if I'm able and it goes away. I'm just chalking it up to computer/OEM tune weirdness...
Agreed fully. I would still be mad if it happened to mine, but as long as I'm not out any cash myself, I'd just take the replacement and send it. Drive that thing like you mean it and enjoy it!
Got mine new in June of 24 and just crossed 15k miles this week. I'd say I've experienced the harsh up and downshifts like you described maybe 9-10 times since it was new. My VIN is not part of the transmission TSB and it hasn't done it in a long time... probably since the 7k mile mark or so...
Nice! I try to avoid the chain shops when possible, but sometimes they're the best option or have the best price on some tires. Discount has made some mistakes on my vehicles in the past but also taken responsibility and made it right each time, so that's alright in my book.
Most recently...
yeah the red is garish and I would be pulling those if it was my truck. I don't really mind the black fills, especially because it's part of a "blackout" badge package, so it fits with the rest of them, but I still feel like it calls too much attention to the already huge tailgate lettering. I...
I'm torn on these. My white truck came with factory (port) applied black letter fills that doesn't look bad but I also just think it would look better without them. I might end up taking them off... idk.
I went to school with a guy like that. Drove a 99 F150 XL and spent so much money on making it look like an SVT Lightning. Bumpers, wheels, badges, etc.... it looked the part and was of course pretty sharp looking but just a plain ol' gutless 4.2L V6 work truck under it all. I could honestly...
lol I almost commented the same thing. There's a guy in my neighborhood that has a 3rd gen with one of those and who knows how many more hundreds of pounds of oVeRLaNdiNg bullshit tacked all over it. I pass him on the highway every morning commuting to work. I just always laugh at how much I bet...
I really wish Toyota would take advantage of the digital clusters and offer more theme options similar to how Ford offers a few retro styles for the new Mustang to make their gauges into 60s style or 80s/90s Fox body style.
It would be fun to have the option for an appearance like the previous...
Same. I'm so frickin' sick of the endless waves of Black/White/Grey/Silver/Maroon vehicles that fill every parking lot.... and I say that with a white Tacoma parked in my driveway. I wish more manufacturers would start pushing out some fun and interesting colors while also not tethering them...
I spent the better part of this year debating on getting a set of Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs. I had already decided long ago that I would get those, but really hated the thought of getting new tires when I really didn't *need* any. We had a ton of rain in the last month that helped me make...
Maybe they just grabbed the wrong one off the shelf? I've been using N1s and I can't find any application guide that shows the D1 as being compatible with our engines. Would it thread on and seat? Yeah, likely. Would it filter oil? Sure. Are the internals the same or have the same bypass...
You're sitting at 0 rpm in that picture, so the engine isn't running to generate any oil pressure. I'd be more concerned if you still had no pressure showing with the engine actually revving.
