My thoughts? I few chuckles and not for me. I don't buy that most or many who do all sorts of mods to expensive late model vehicles or buy the halo models actually have regular use scenarios or at all. Most I know serious about their off roading trailer specialty and can afford to get damaged...

Can you please elaborate how they do not interfere with the seats having the SRS stamp? Earlier I bought some air bag compatible seat covers I'd still consider over leather, but have some curiosity. I'm also curious if your artificial leather vs genuine leather is breathable or vented. Thank you.

I don't want to touch the tire formula. I'm not an off-road hobbyist nor play in mud on purpose, but I'm off road a lot doing trail work and ski area operations stuff. My personal interests have me powder chasing and at the unimproved river launches for whitewater. The stock OR is extremely...

If you're in Houston, you could well be like my observation when our summer weeks stayed hot and warm in the evenings. The dashboard display showed temperature way before other times of the year. Overall this is not something I worry about. My pickup has been task and work oriented. I just did...

When I get the 22-25+ MPG highway mileage results it's typically two lane highway with adaptive cruise set at 62, longer gap, and 50-150 miles mostly moving 55-60 MPH. Sometimes faster freeway driving can be 21-22 MPG but headwinds, speed and what I carry can drop that average fast. High speed...

A stock TRD OR with the BFG Trail TA. Any and all mods are barely relevant. My Fas-Top Traveller (all in one tonneau/topper) is not too heavy. It, tools often with me and adjustable ball mount might be 120-200 pounds. Except for extremes or weather I understand, it's mostly within EPA mileage...

I'm not really a hyper miler like l just know to be smooth, deliberate and strategic from heavy equipment, driving semis and running rivers. Where the all of this made me smile is just noticing how others using my vehicles drop the average MPG, and how I often arrive faster or on time without...

There is also the matter of knowing to be smooth and strategic.

With 12,000+ miles behind me, off and on road work, sports, back country and for my business travel my '24 TRD OR usually gets within or just over the EPA ratings. It cannot get good highway mileage above 65 MPH, in headwinds, or most towing. To achieve that I use ECO a lot, but am a smooth...

I think I'm getting the right smile there. I'm in a circle of pickup owners who are trail builders, ski area crew, current or former guides, business owners including construction & engineering etc.... We do a lot of back country travel and sports too. We confess to stuff like lockers, some...

I went with air bag compatible seat covers for seeing the SRS icon/logo on the actual seats. Beyond not compromising anyone's safety, I totally love the easily removable thus washable aspect. Getting the floor mats that cover more than the Toyota mats was a good choice. TripleAliner in my case...

It is as other vehicles with ADAS systems applied to the rear where they know the rack is there no mater what. My wife's German car has an instant bypass switch I thought superior at first, but it also disables the camera. When the rack is on I leave PKSB off and that's how any trailer towing...

Following up to the @ mention way back and the electronics..... I consider the 1Up key my security for knowing a thief is going to get their way if they try. The PKSB disable isn't any worse meaning annoying than when you are towing a trailer and the vehicle does it automatically. Unlike a...

I'm not catching your functional reasons for this? My point in asking is the stock tires on a TRD OR are near 32 o.d. and as one who is off road a lot much of that doing work, I find the stock TRD OR to be incredibly capable compared to past times when a rig did need some modifications. The...

I'm sure it means they are seeking help from Toyota which is better than a bunch of guessing. Of course it is frustrating, but do your best to be friendly about it all. From a long time supervising and at scale (near 1000 people) but starting at the bottom I can absolutely say that's important...

I go and look at wind speed plus wind direction if what changes is not obvious to me.

I was surprised by 50% claim, but this is also simple math to calculate. These 4th gen pickups are quick to take a hit in highway economy and just my bike hitch rack with Fas-Top in tonneau mode often drops the trip to our cabin by 20%. Putting my hitch rack or bikes inside (Fas-Top topper mode)...

That highlights part but strong reasoning for why I'm waiting for the Yakima landing pads, or will get towers with clips if the new ones for Tacoma are not out in the next month. It is not an exact comparison but I have these observations from associates that are weighing on me. When our won't...

FWIW, Yakima sent me a message that landing pad mounts are finally in development for the 4th gen Tacoma, and for traditional or conventional towers, the 180 model clips are available now.

Mine improved past 5000 miles but short trips, wind and high payload or speed drop it fast. My always careful urban/metro driving in eco mode and highway driving if not above 60 MPH return 18-25 MPG. Keeping up with fast freeway traffic or rush hour driving drop it fast. My bike rack hitch type...
