Definitely bs on the tires causing the vibrations, because I have none in my 2024 Pro with the same tires.

I just leave mine in the dash, but I have a garage and don't park it much where it might get stolen.

Before my 4th gen Tacoma I was driving a 2011 Tundra and before that I had a 2005 Taco Sport.

I never read the specs on the EPA test conditions before. It is not a surprise that no one is getting the sticker mpg because no sane person would drive that slowly on a freeway. I would think that you might even get a ticket for obstructing traffic at an average speed of less than 50 mph, and I...

It doesn't bother me because it is primed and in a very out of the way place you can hardly see. I would say it is normal, except that it is not like that on the driver's side. It is just a minor oversight in the paint process IMO.

I don't think that QC is as important to Toyota as it was in the past. It is just another way that they are reducing costs to stay competitive in a market with radically increasing prices across the board.

It is the same on my truck too. That area must be in the paint "shadow" of the bracket that attaches the fender, and it isn't on my driver's side either. It looks like mistake in training the paint robot and I bet it is on every 4th gen.

If not exactly normal it definitely is fairly common with these transmissions. My truck now works perfectly most of the time after some terrible shifts early on. It still can throw out an abrupt or jerky shift in lower gears while warming up though, so I guess it is normal. It is interesting...

Yeah, I think it is normal too. Can't hurt to get it on record just in case it causes state inspection problems later on. I get my inspections done at my Toyota dealer. If they say it is a problem they have to fix it. lol

Yeah, I would love to have power folding mirrors on my Tacoma, just like I had on my Tundra. The higher spec trims of the 4Runner have power folding mirrors, so I am betting that they would work on a Taco too. But when a power folding mirror on my Tundra was damaged I had to buy the whole...

Exactly - a picture is worth a thousand words!

The tires are overinflated for shipping, because the trucks are tightly cinched down. They are delivered that way because the dealers are lazy and not following PDI procedure, which calls out checking tire pressure.

Total BS on it being normal. If it is normal then why doesn't my truck do that? It seems like Toyota must be training their dealers in lying to customers, rather than in fixing their vehicles these days. A LOT of people are getting the old, all the other crap on the lot do that too routine.

I get a lot of compliments on my truck about all kinds of stuff, but everyone mentions how much they love the color.

Great looking truck! It will be a sad day when Terra disappears from Taco land.

As my truck runs up on 3k miles it is getting much better fuel mileage, at least once the engine is warm. I now have a tonneau and without the winter fuel blend I am getting around 22 mpg running 70-80 mph, even in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Still below the EPA estimate, but that is OK with me...

Yeah - I agree. I think it is just Toyota being super cautious. But the window cracked a bit is a good idea IMO.

I read the owner's manual about charging the 12v in a hybrid. Toyota wants the vehicle to be outside with the negative cable unhooked when you do that. There were other things but I don't remember what they were. Although I have used a maintainer on batteries inside my garage without problems...

Out of balance tires and out of alignment is not uncommon in 4th gens from what I see.

Hopefully they can fix the drift, but probably won't do anything about the transmission bs. My poor shifting has mostly gone away after the first 1k miles.
