I suspected it was an idiot tech or they simply chose not to identify it. I went for a drive with a guy from the service department and even though the noise was very minimal on the short drive he claimed that he couldn't hear it.
I have a bit over 35,000km on my Tacoma and since about 29,000 I have heard an intermittent chirping sound. I've taken it to the dealer twice and they said they couldn't find anything wrong nor could they hear anything. There are times when this sound is very quiet and occasionally it is...
My understanding is that even if you don't pay for the app they still collect your telematics. I asked about this at the dealership where I got my Tacoma.
I agree with you about the seat belt alarm being annoying. For me it is not an issue since I always use my seat belt. It is nice though if a passenger is slow to put on a seatbelt, and the alarm prompts them.
Most of the driver aids are unnecessary. Give me a back up camera and that is plenty...
I've noticed a clunk as well, but only if the car is moving. I've resolved to only go in and out of 4H with the car stationary. I'm not surprised if there is a clunk since switching from 2H to 4H means changing the drive train configuration.
At the moment I own both a Honda and my Taco. I was loyal to Honda for years, but I now suspect that loyalty has reached it’s limit for the following reasons…
Each year Honda has fewer models with manual transmissions and each generation of cars regardless of transmission looks more bland. I...
The thing I've noticed about my Tacoma is that it doesn't have features which 5 years ago other cars did. The most annoying thing for me is the fact that I can't use keyless entry to open the tailgate. My little old Honda lets me unlock the trunk just like the doors... keyless.
11.8L/100km at the moment. It was a bit less earlier this year but my driving habits have changed a bit. I also put it in sport mode every single time.
I'm planning on performing oil changes every 6200miles. I think Toyota is a bit crazy recommending oil changes every 16,000km/10,000 miles. I have a Honda with 170,000 miles for which I've only been changing oil every 8,000 miles (when the oil left is less than 10% according to the car) or so...
Watching all these YouTube videos and seeing reddit comments hating on the 4th gen I too suspected that a lot of this must have been people purposely trying to undermine the 4th gen reputation for the gain of other manufacturers. I agree with your thoughts on 3gen owners wanting to justify their...
