Agree… it’s really not the biggest deal, the kit that let the engine run after shutting the vehcile off was designed for racing applications, after a car got off the track, check with some diesel guys, everything diesel is a turbo. It is commonly written, but it’s not something the average have...
It's a turbo thing. helps to keep oil circulating in the turbo to help it cool. There used to be kits available where it would have a timer on it, when you shut the car off, it would run for another 3 minutes and then shut the engone down after 3 minutes after you took the keys out of the...
I'm sure that has someting to do with it. Filter a few units into hands of customers at a time from different production dates, see how they are working and gradually ramp up from there once they know that production and the trucks are working as intended. They may do this several times over...
Starting to wonder if the QC holds are a part of the process. Toyota ships “X” # of trucks, delivers them and then waits. Maybe they want to see how the production units are working to make sure no serious issues before they release the whole production inventory. Or they release in blocks of...
It’s not an order a build I wanted, it’s get what (a build) you (I) wanted from the allocation. That’s how it generally works in Asian products. In short yes I was able to get what I wanted. Watch this video, best explanation for how it works. Thats why some wait so long, because they are...
I’ll say that most of the Asian manufacturers work that way, they work on allocations. I think the people who are annoyed with the wait may have put a deposit on the truck too early. In so doing, they were likely promised deliveries that were unrealistic as nobody knew anything about delivery...
Good summary of what I also found with the Canyon compared to a Tacoma. In the end. in my mind it’s what’s going to work best and what’s going to resell best should I need to sell if. No brainer it’s a Toyota
I’ve used a ROV as well, and it’s been great. But wiring it in, I hate to tap aftermarket stuff into my OE wiring harnesses. So if I were to put one into my new Taco, I’d buy the OE one as it’s plug and play.
but one thing I simply can’t figure out. Why can’t manufacturers just have the front...
It isn't making that noise in the cab as you are driving it as represented.
Best not to mention it or edit it out of your video if you don't know what the button is for.
The whooshing noise in the video as well - it’s fake. The Tacoma does not make that noise. All around a guy who has no clue. If you didn’t know what the button does, why wouldn’t you just edit it out of the video or not mention it at all?
Think you’re missing the point. To not know what a brake hold does is one thing. To buy a truck, that has a built in hitch, as well as a built in trailer brake system, (as most trucks do now a days) and then do a review on a truck and not know what the button does Isn’t professional. Most people...
hard to take the review too seriously, there’s no such whistle noise unless there’s something aftermarket on that truck. Also, doesnt know what a trailer brake button is. Just a “I don’t know what that button does”. Pretty bad, one would think when spending that kind of money on a truck you knew...
While I have no knowledge for sure, I suspect yes. TPMS works in one of two RFID frequencies. 315mhz and 433mhz. All that said, this isnt a big deal anymore, there Are several aftermarket TPMS systems that can work on both frequencies once programmed. Toyota has in recent years mainly used...
Agree! All the things I'd want. Lower (cheaper) trim package, with the short box automatic. In addition to the power tailgate, the digital rear view mirror that you can't get on the OR premium in Canada but it comes with it in the US. Don't care much for the sway bar disconnect (also standard in...
??‍♂️ no hybrid build options are available until spring time. Toyota has been pretty clear on that, so no - you won’t see the option for iforce max on a build currently.
