Right on - that's not bad at all. The ones I've seen with no functionality when powered off were aftermarket add-ons and the crappy reflectivity one was in a late model F-150. I just wasn't impressed with any of them but I'll change my stance after seeing these. That's how they should all be.

Well that's fair, then. The few I've encountered in the past have been completely useless when powered off or have had a reflective surface that was next-to-useless in "normal mirror" mode.

Nah, I wouldn't have one as long as I could avoid it. They absolutely have their perks and nice features, so I'm not shaking a stick at the sky because of technology... I just think they add unnecessary complexity and additional points of failure when a plain mirror has done the job for decades...

If only there were some sort of a simpler, non-powered solution that could perform the same job while also costing far less to service and replace... 🤔 (sorry, I had to be a dill-hole for a sec. I think digital mirrors are one of the dumbest damn things to ever exist on modern vehicles.) Hope...

Does anyone here ever take the Toyota Owners' Intersection surveys? I always take a few minutes and fill them out. The one today was asking for opinions on future OEM accessories including some carbon fiber pieces, a 5-link rear suspension, and a rear Torsen limited slip differential. I...

My unsolicited opinion- Tinted taillights suck. I know it's not A E S T H E T I C, but sometimes it can be nearly impossible for folks behind you to tell when you're braking or indicating a turn during the daytime if the sun is at the right angle. Don't be the tinted taillight guy. But if you...

2016 Mazda CX-5. It was fun to drive, cheap to maintain, and never had a single issue in 7+ years of ownership. Absolutely fantastic car.

Ah, yeah that sucks. We've had a lot of hail in the area with all of those storms so I've been on edge trying to keep both vehicles safe any time it starts moving in. I love a good springtime storm, but tornados and hail really suck.

Tornado chasing in a brand new truck? Oooof. Whatever blows your skirt up, I suppose 🤣

$0/mo here. I put 50% down at purchase and financed the rest at 6.11% for 60mos, which ended up making it right around $400/mo. (this was June of 2024) - I just ended up paying it off after 10mos. I'd rather give those payments to myself for a high-yield savings instead. Gotta start saving now...

These should fit all models, as far as I know. Mine is a non-hybrid and they fit just fine.

Yep-yep! P/N: PT974-35250 If you get some, they will reuse your stock transit hook bolts, which are 17mm. 75ft-lb torque spec for install.

My driver front window does this occasionally... of course, it gets opened and closed the most. We had a particularly dusty springtime here, so I know the tracks have gotten quite a bit inside of them. It goes away for a while after a wash or rain, and even longer if I clean out the tracks with...

My packing slip shows 5.0lbs even, so roughly 2.5lbs each feels about right after holding them. They're surprisingly chunky.

Agreed. I would not have gotten the skid plate if not for the mods on my previous vehicle. I had a set of BBS wheels and an aftermarket exhaust - selling those after I traded it on the Tacoma paid for my skid plate and tonneau cover haha

I snagged some OEM tow hooks for about $100 shipped over the holiday weekend. They arrived today, so I had to toss them on real quick. I was a little unsure of having some red accent on the otherwise white/black truck, but I'm digging it. :sunglasses:

Holy crap that sounds awful. I think I've opened doors of wrecked cars that sounded less bad 🤣 Yeah, I would bring that to the dealer's attention immediately. If I had to guess without seeing it, I'd assume something is really messed up with the door check strap (the plastic arm in the middle...

Back in my teenage days, I had a handful of back window stickers on my first truck for things like my exhaust, suspension, stereo, etc... but I'm not really into doing that anymore. I think it kinda clutters up an already small back window on these trucks and I feel like it just gives asshole...

Nice truck! I grew up in a "Ford family" - all of us had them. Multiple generations of F150s and such. I truly believe Ford made great trucks in the 80s/90s, but I couldn't be paid to own one now. I finally talked my dad into a Tundra about a year before I got my Tacoma and now we both love our...

I'm generally not into solid black wheels on any vehicle, but these look good! That pinstriping looks pretty sharp as well. Nice ride!
