I had water sloshing in the rear passenger door, I figured it was just a stopped up drain hole. I was surprised to see plugs in the drain holes. I saw somewhere online that toyota said to just pull the rear plugs on each door if you have water issues. I just pulled all of them, can't imagine why...
Toyota does have a TSB to reprogram the BSM which is the cause. I had my TRD Sport in the dealer back in January and had them do the reprogram. So far no issues. One thing I have found is to make sure you turn the vehicle off prior to disconnecting the trailer. Another annoying feature is that...
Yeah, no TPMS in the spare, I'm sure you can purchase one, but I don't have a clue how you could enter into the TPMS system. It would be nice to be able to rotate the spare with the other tires and get more mileage from a set of tires.
Just had my 24 TRD Sport in for it's 10k service. At 5k, they did the TSB update, Apparently there is a newer version, so they updated that at 10k. I haven't had any issues since the 5k update and hope that the newer version will be the same.
Went to open the passenger side rear door on my TRD Sport and notice a sloshing sound. So I assumed the door drains were clogged, I've had this happened with previous vehicles, no big deal. I then noticed that the drain holes had plastic plugs, pull them out and out came about a gallon of water...
I ordered a couple of stock pins, Part No.: PT228-0C231, from ToyotaPartsDeal.com. I have a couple of receiver hitches and keep one with each of them. Then were pretty inexpensive, like 6 bucks each, although shipping added about 10 bucks.
I was having the issue and the dealer reprogrammed the BSM with the latest firmware. It would take 5 or 6 times of connecting/disconnecting the trailer for it to finally shake loose. So far I have had no issue with the connecting/disconnecting the trailer. Maybe try a different dealer...
I just use a worm hose clamp on the side hinge that you can lift off, just point the screw side down. If anything it makes it more difficult to just lift off the tailgate.
Yeah it's a pain. My previous truck had a 21 gallon tank and got 24-25 mpg on the highway, so fill ups yielded around 450 miles per tank. It's a shame, hopefully some vendors are working on a larger replacement tank.
I've had the issue many times in the past, after connecting/disconnecting a few times, I finally got the trailer mode unstuck. Had my TRD Sport in for 5k checkup and handed them a copy of the TSB, and told them this happens every time a connect a trailer. They went ahead and performed the BSM...
