Hahaha, that was mostly tounge in cheek. Sorry you're getting a rough ride around here. Enjoy the Maverick, they're a great vehicle no matter what the naysayers think.

Toyota could do that, if they wanted to. They choose not to, because they demand the highest possible efficiency from their production line and build-to-order vehicles are anathema to that efficiency. I went the other way: a Maverick with the options I wanted was going to be $50k CAD. For that...

Get some fake drift stitches stickers made up.

Just remember, nobody is making videos or forum posts saying "my truck is working fine". I for one am way to busy enjoying my new truck to do that! (For the record though, my truck is working fine).

Drift stiches, absolutely. :thumbsup:

I've had a JB4 in my MINI Cooper for years with no issues. You can turn it off/change maps anytime, and to remove it completely is maybe a 30 minute job, depending how well you hide the wiring when you put it in. I'd have no qualms about running one in the Tacoma. Not sure I will, but that's...

Congratulations on the best colour choice. Pickup a blackout kit and get those shiny emblems covered up now!

We're using our Tacoma as a family hauler, but the kids are 3.5 and 1 year, and we're all small humans. I figure they'll be fine until the kids are at least 6-7, and we plan to buy another SUV before then. Wish I could convince the wife to get into a minivan!

Enjoy! My wife keeps stealing my Tacoma, so I'm trying to talk her into a Land Cruiser (or, more likely, Lexus GX because we'd like a third row for occasional use).

Is that in the main infotainment or the gauge cluster? Safety sense drives me NUTS when I'm offroad, I had no idea there was a mute. Why the truck doesn't mute them automatically when in 4 low I don't know...

A number of people have said this. I can't imagine why it would be true, but it seems to be a common experience.

I've heard there is 3 gallons in reserve not included in the range estimate. That's about 11.5 litres. On the highway I get around 9L/100km (I think I've seen as low as 8.8), so you're likely not far off.

It definitely uses your driving data/habits to inform its estimate. I usually get ~440km of range on a full tank, after a a few days of extended highway trips I was getting 480km estimated range.

Down the A pillar, under the hood, and through the firewall would be the typical route.

Gotcha. Not the end of the world. I read through the instructions and for those of us with Off-Road trims, installing this requires cutting out the factory crossmember. I'm not about to do that, so for me the search continues for a reasonable winch solution.

If you don't want to spend a bunch of money on recovery points for now, you can get a hitch receiver recovery point. This one is just the first I found on Google, there are lots of others. Many will already include the D-rings so you might have to hunt for one that doesn't.

Follow-up question: how do you access the clutch for the winch?

Thanks for the review. This product caught my eye too as it's cheaper and cleaner-looking than a new winch-mount bumper...

I was impatient and didn't want to wait. I was also spending enough money without going hybrid. I do envy that 2400W inverter, though.

I watched that video and had the same takeaway. It really seems like for this generation of TRD Pro (and Trailhunter) Toyota just looked at what off-roaders were doing to their trucks, and did it from the factory. I don't think there's anything a Pro/TH has that you can't find in the aftermarket...
