Strange how random these trucks seem to be put together.

Yeah, that does not sound like something a dealer would even try to fix. I had a friend who was a dealership mechanic and when he was first starting the service manager told him a problem someone complained about was a wall job. He was confused and asked what he meant by a wall job. He said you...

Very true Mike. In my experience even mentioning lemon lawing it will shut things down right now.

Yep Same here. No idea why they had only 1/2 the screws that you need. But mine came with the pathetic OEM mud flaps and I used some of the screws from them. They were smaller than what came with the Canadian flaps, so I mixed them together on each flap.

Yep, I bought the Toyota OEM Canadian mud flaps from my dealer's parts department. Install could not have been any easier, with the attachments in the same place as the ones that came on my truck. They fit the Pro like they were made for it and why it came with those tiny flaps is beyond me.

Yeah - PPF for sure, and my RCI sliders and Canadian mud flaps have helped a lot.

Exactly. I picked the truck that I wanted, and I have zero regrets. He prefers something else which is fine by me. Anyone who buys a truck that costs this much based on what someone tells them to do is confused IMO.

So your dealer took pictures but has not said what they will do? I guess at this point it might be up to Toyota. Is it only on the hood or on the rest of the truck too? I would really not want a repaint on such a new truck, which I guess means a replacement. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the info. I don't think I want E rated tires either, but I will be upgrading my tires before I do any serious off roading. These C rated tires seem like a good choice and I am hoping for more options by the time I am ready to upgrade. Look forward to hear more about the Goodyears...

How much did the C rated 6 ply tires change the ride of your Pro?

Here is another vote for Griots products. They helped me keep a black car looking nearly perfect for years. Hard water spots are tough, but I could never see them on my white or silver vehicles. They are really bad on black paint though, particularly if it does not have a clear coat.

I've got to agree on both. Enjoy!

Years ago US car maker service departments were famous for telling customers, "they all do that" and now Toyota dealers say "could not duplicate" or "normal operation". New language that still translates to say to they could GAF. A Lexus dealership once responded to a question about my SC300...

True, and that could have just been dealer bs. But I assume there are other ways a compressor could fail that make it harder to turn but not have seized. That could make the belt slip when it was first engaged. Hopefully we will learn more about exactly what happened after @BOLDTACO gets that...

I hope this fixed the problem @BOLDTACO. If you have a bad compressor then a lot of other people with this issue might have one too. Maybe time for a TSB?

You are going to love your truck - mine is awesome, with or without the HUD. Who knows why it is gone, maybe parts shortages, but at least you got some other cool things. :cool:

Yeah - that is how this should work on Tacomas too - when you are off road those nannies just get in the way. Diving down through menus when you want to take your truck off road is dumb and then having to do it all again when you are back on road is a PITA. Toyota could address that in a...

Each automaker has come up with their own pedestrian warning sound and some are more obnoxious than others. The sound Toyota chose does make them sound like a Jetson mobile. My neighbor's Tesla makes more noise than ICE cars, which continue to get quieter. From inside my truck I hardly notice...

I am guessing that if you disconnect the tailgate motor you will have warnings to deal with too. It would be nice if you could just turn it off and use it manually because sometimes waiting for it to do its thing seems kind of silly.

Yeah - good plan. It is a surprise to me that an Off Road is not really ready to go, you know, off road. It has put bilstein in a bad light, just like the JBL "premium" sound system has downgraded my opinion of JBL, which I used to really respect.
