Not kicking you, but I have the same question, why buy a Pro since it and the Trailhunter are both lifted?
I don't agree about the handling, because I have driven a lot of top performing off road trucks, and my Pro handles very well by comparison to most of them. It sounds like you should have...
My truck doesn't keep the 12v fully charged either, but so far it always starts. If the dealer doesn't replace the battery I will get an Optima. I have used them in the past and they are great. A yellow top will handle getting discharged better than a lot of other batteries on the market, and...
I am measuring the voltage of the 12 volt when the truck is off, and using the chart I saw on a different thread which equated the voltage to the batteries state of charge.
Here’s a table showing the State of Charge (SOC) for AGM batteries based on their voltage levels:
Voltage (V)
State of...
I have been thinking about trading my truck on a MT if I can find one spec'd like I want. The rev hang is my biggest concern and I have heard that the OTT tune might fix that.
Staying signed into the Lexus app ran down the 12 volt battery in my wife's Lexus electric SUV. Lexus said they were aware of the problem but had no fix and suggested that she shouldn't remain logged into the app. It has not died since she quit using the app.
Those Toyota/Lexus apps provide...
You move the shift lever to the left and it lets you control the highest gear the transmission can shift to. Toyota has used that in their off road trucks for a long time.
My truck does not behave that way, but maybe I just have a bad battery. The lowest I have seen it is 11.9 vdc or about 35% charged.
A couple of days ago it was down to 12.18 after driving for 90 minutes. I put my maintainer on it and it charged up to 13 vdc while charging or 100%. Without the...
Great choice, that was what I considered instead of my Taco, but I really need a truck and I am trying to avoid going back to two vehicles, since one would have to park outside now.
I was going to write a reply, but @JimScotty0 already did it for me, so +1 to what he said!
Definitely interested in both sides. The missing one on the driver's side is a pain and the passenger side is tough for my wife to navigate.
I understand that there is a lot more going on in today's vehicles when they are off than there was in the past. But Toyota's mission was to design an electrical system that can handle that, which they seem to have failed at.
From my POV it can't be normal for a parked truck to die as quickly...
OK, that is interesting and thanks for the info. So I guess the battery is now fully charged, and it will be interesting to see what happens when I drive it. That chart will be a big help in understanding what the voltage readings mean.
Here are the results of my little experiment.
After charging for several hours my battery reached a peak voltage of 13.32 vdc. The maintainer was still charging but it never went any higher than that and I removed the maintainer. After sitting overnight it now reads 12.9 vdc and I will see what...
Definitely!
Yeah, it could be a bad voltage converter and I guess it could be the battery itself. I am letting it sit overnight to see what the battery does without any obvious load to draw it down. My schedule has been really busy but is opening up some now, so I hope to let the dealer check...
Strange. Our trucks keep their batteries at a level that pretty much everyone says is too low but there is no problem? I don't understand.
My maintainer charged the battery to 13.32 and it just continues to charge without the battery going any higher. The maintainer is getting hot and I took...
I can't really help because it does not make sense to me either. Everything you say points to the alternator being added just to support that 4th AUX switch.
So the problem might be the battery and not the truck's charging system, which would be my preferred outcome. They could give me a new...
