  1. Absolute best tire for highway fuel mileage? Best answer to date is factory installed Michelin Primacy LTX

    Careful, setting (cold) tire pressure significantly higher than the door sticker recommendation can result in poorer traction/handling, uneven wear (shorter tire life), and slightly higher blowout risk if hitting a road hazard. I'd recommend staying within 10% of the suggested pressure...
  2. Tacoma "Trial Services" what do I lose?

    Yes, maps from you phone via Android Auto or CarPlay will always work, and if going somewhere with sketchy cell service you can download selected maps to your phone ahead of time. GPS location isn’t cell service dependent.
  3. Tacoma "Trial Services" what do I lose?

    Yes, I am pleased to see that Toyota is now providing that with the 4th gens. We have a garage door opener and home alarm system so I've not carried keys or a fob since doing the credit card key mod. I grab my wallet and phone and go. Unexpected plus - I can't forget my wallet. :) Tip -...
  4. Tacoma "Trial Services" what do I lose?

    Yeah, for me $8/mo would be easy-peasy but the $15 bundle with shlt I don't need is a put-off. Especially when Ford provides similar service free on my wife's Bronco Sport for as long as she owns it. As an alternative, look into a combination of a Fortin ONE with Viper SmartStart. I have the...
  5. Tacoma "Trial Services" what do I lose?

    Safety Connect and Service Connect are "up to ten year" trial periods. See the brochure for details of what each service provides. Pretty sure the wallet key card will continue to work fine, but you'll lose the app features and app remote start. Worth it? That's subjective. I have a third...
  6. 12v battery (hybrid) runs low after sitting for a week

    Thanks, something in the charging system seems wonky If it’s sometimes applying 13.8v and other times not. Also seems like a lot of drawdown overnight - logout of the Toyota app to rule that out as a source. Given that some like yourself have an issue, and other people don’t, it suggests a...
  7. 12v battery (hybrid) runs low after sitting for a week

    What’s the voltage look like as you’re driving around? Is this your original battery or has it been replaced? Ford did a recall not long ago due to a bunch of bad batteries, so the first answer is certainly a possibility. Second answer begs the question of whether due to a defective charging...
  8. 12v battery (hybrid) runs low after sitting for a week

    They did not. Only those with a fourth AUX switch, which seems to be just TH and Pro trims.
  9. ToyotaPartsDeal… falsely selling 4G items that don’t fit 4G

    Screenshot that parts page and fitment info if you haven't yet done so. it'd be inconvenient if the site were to get "fixed" before your dispute is settled.
  10. New style door handles spotted on 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road

    Paint color is underground. Terra is more of a orange/brown. My 2017 TRD OR has colormatch door handles with keyless touch lock/unlock. Driver door only unfortunately, I think they added passenger door later.
  11. Can't subscribe to Remote connect as a stand alone product for the App.

    Yep, they ceased offering the $8 standalone as of 2023 model year. It's particularly galling when Ford (for example) provides their similar FordPass service at no charge. While there's a third party LTE/cellular solution using a Fortin EVO-ONE and Viper/DEI SmartStart, the hardware and...
  12. Poor gas mileage

    and yet the real world data says otherwise... given the propensity of people to add a bunch of wind-drag bolt-ons and bigger/heavier tires, the data for 2024-25 Tacomas seems to be doing pretty good. Contrast to the data for 2024 Ford F150 or Tundra at an avg of 17.20 and 16.64 respectively...
  13. Dead battery(s) iForceMAX

    as I posted in the other thread, I’m skeptical of the claim. Every 380LN3-MF replacement battery seems to be AGM, which strongly suggests the 380LN3-MF is also AGM I suspect someone read about the NiMH hybrid batteries and misconstrued that with the 12V battery. Doesn’t really matter though...
  14. My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    What’s your source that says the 380LN3-MF isn’t AGM? ā€˜cuz every replacement that comes up in a search is AGM.
  15. Dead battery(s) iForceMAX

    If anyone has access to TIS, it'd be interesting to see what the diagnostics say about 12V battery charging.
  16. Dead battery(s) iForceMAX

    Yes, the 12V cutoff in the Garmin Mini 3 could be problematic, especially if it's not exactly 12V. I prefer a higher cutoff like 12.2V or 12.4V, which can be had using an appropriate wiring adapter. The Thinkware and Blackvue cameras have those as available choices internally, and also go into...
  17. Dead battery(s) iForceMAX

    Quoting @djevans post for the SoC chart. Granted, I don’t yet own a 4th gen and this hybrid battery stuff has paused my interest in moving from my 2017 to a 2025. So take the following for what it’s worth. A properly functioning charging system should leave a battery at 100% SoC every time...
  18. Dead battery(s) iForceMAX

    I disagree. Iā€˜ve had a Thinkware with parking mode and voltage threshold cutoff in my 3rd gen for over eight years. Blackvue in my funcar similar length of time. Both dual camera, front plus rear. Battery life has been normal, replace every 4-5 years just like all prior vehicles without a...
  19. Poor gas mileage

    You making a snarky reply to a post from nearly four months before you joined was rather amusing. Ignore the dash computer and compute your actual MPG using an app such as Fuelly. Also double check your truck is accurately figuring distance - compare your phone gps speed to the truck...
  20. Trim availability around the country

    I'd imagine it's very market dependent. Checking Toyota.com 2025 model inventory in 50 mile radius of a north Atlanta zipcode, the available models are: 20 Trailhunters (16 of which are in-transit) 24 Pro's (20 of which are in-transit) 30 SR XtraCab's (25 of which are in-transit) PreRunner -...
