I can't tell from that web page what you would be buying. Is it just a rack that would go above the bed, or is it that plus the roof rack with the wind deflector? If it's the latter then I would expect your mileage to decrease significantly. But if you already have the roof rack, then adding...

You're right about it blowing cold even without the A/C button engaged. I think when you use the Auto mode, the A/C is engaged but it does not turn on the A/C light. Just another stupid choice by Toyota if you ask me. RE: the original post, I suspect that the vents are getting wet when it's...

Thanks, Ron, I'm checking out Baja now.

My 6MT is getting about the same as Andrace's. I do think the tonneau cover is helping a little.

I don't want to make anybody's head explode, but one of the first things I did when I got home with a new TRD Off Road was to painstakingly REMOVE the turd stickers from the rear fenders. I have always hated the acronym and made fun of these "racing" Toyotas over the years, but now my brothers...

That's fantastic! We should take up a collection and fly that driver to Austin, Texas. He can drive my truck and I will love to video him trying to get it into reverse using only his fingertips. Seriously, his bus shifts the way my cars up to now have shifted. Surely his transmission is as...

Cool diagram and I agree that a light touch on the shifter is good, to the extent possible. My Taco shifter definitely requires a firmer grip and more arm force (for some of the motions) than any of the previous vehicles I've had. Curious that the diagram flips back and forth between a...

OK, you asked for it.. I do think The Bandit is on to something: I wondered to myself after the second time whether adrenaline could explain the magically easy but incorrect shift into reverse. That still doesn't make it OK, though, in my opinion. What will happen after years and miles when...

Good idea, thanks!

Also, I just checked what happens when I put in the zip code for my nearest Toyota dealer (one hour away): the Costco program returns two independent shops but not the dealer. So this will not work for me to get any discounts from the dealer. I suspect dealers have to opt in (and pay $) to be in...

Only one problem for me:

Great recommendation and video. I've been watching him for years but hadn't seen this one.

Great deal for somebody! Sorry, man, I've been there.

I'm in Burnet. Maybe one of y'all could help me if you have a Carista or other OBD reader/programmer: I want to turn up my turn signal clicker volume and a few other things. Cedar Park Toyota was a total fail for me when I went there for my first service, and the Carista units are currently...

Great post and I 100% agree with you except for the fang lights. I have the same lust for super long range driving/pencil beams because we have high speed, deer (and feral hog and sometimes cow) infested roads here in central TX also. The fang light setups I've seen so far seem to be...

Funny you should mention that: they only put in 5 quarts of oil. I checked it when I got home because I have the same attitude as you do. The level was just above the bottom line, so I added another pint, approx. It's still below the upper line so I'll add a little more. BTW the service...

Mine arrived today with 14.5 sets of the plastic fasteners (you need 13). Super easy to install, but I was a bit confused by the fasteners because it turns out you do NOT use a screwdriver even though the inner plastic bolt has a Phillips head. Just slightly insert the bolt into the mushroom...

My dealer (Cedar Park Toyota in TX) would not give me the time of day when I requested them to change some of these settings. They were clueless. The service writer sent me to their "AOA department" which sent out a young guy, probably in training to be a salesman, whose job is to explain to...

The technician's reply was that the truck's "transmission control history log" did not show a problem. That is how he/she is supposed to know what was going on. Apparently the data logging function is also broken, or else you got a technician who doesn't do the work but makes a denial of...

This is one of the most irritating things about the truck (and I assume all new Toyotas): it shouldn't be that difficult! I spent way too much time figuring this out, and now that I know, it's such a pain that I will rarely bother to reset either tripmeter. I'll just live without it. Thanks...
