What would make you happy?



Same question. You want Toyota to buy back your truck?

No. I love the truck. And I’m not super torqued up about this honestly, save for when I’m thinking about possibly getting stranded in the middle of nowhere. What would make me happy is a clear statement from Toyota explaining what the issue is and a means for me to resolve it in Houston at a dealership near my home, before I’m out in the bush with my truck that’s made to go anywhere. I am under warranty for 125k miles / 8 years but what I’d like the same confidence in the drivetrain I had with my third gen — I think Toyota could restore it with some transparency. But anyway. Moving on.

Perfectly said buddy!

Is Toyota replacing your transmission?

Is Toyota replacing your transmission?

No. It’s working fine (aside from the weird stuff others have mentioned).

And to be clear - it’s my daily driver and I’m not holding back. I just hate that I spent this much and am never certain about whether the transmission will explode.

Just a quick update since my last post. I’ve driven about 300 miles in the past couple days. A little deep snow and lots of freeway driving, including mountain passes in suboptimal weather. Not even a hint of an issue.

So I’m gonna assume my transmission is fine. Maybe I got some bad gas or it was a software glitch or a combination of things. Hopefully it doesn’t come back.
