If not exactly normal it definitely is fairly common with these transmissions. My truck now works perfectly most of the time after some terrible shifts early on. It still can throw out an abrupt or jerky shift in lower gears while warming up though, so I guess it is normal. It is interesting...

Yeah, I think it is normal too. Can't hurt to get it on record just in case it causes state inspection problems later on. I get my inspections done at my Toyota dealer. If they say it is a problem they have to fix it. lol

Yeah, I would love to have power folding mirrors on my Tacoma, just like I had on my Tundra. The higher spec trims of the 4Runner have power folding mirrors, so I am betting that they would work on a Taco too. But when a power folding mirror on my Tundra was damaged I had to buy the whole...

Exactly - a picture is worth a thousand words!

The tires are overinflated for shipping, because the trucks are tightly cinched down. They are delivered that way because the dealers are lazy and not following PDI procedure, which calls out checking tire pressure.

Total BS on it being normal. If it is normal then why doesn't my truck do that? It seems like Toyota must be training their dealers in lying to customers, rather than in fixing their vehicles these days. A LOT of people are getting the old, all the other crap on the lot do that too routine.

I get a lot of compliments on my truck about all kinds of stuff, but everyone mentions how much they love the color.

Great looking truck! It will be a sad day when Terra disappears from Taco land.

As my truck runs up on 3k miles it is getting much better fuel mileage, at least once the engine is warm. I now have a tonneau and without the winter fuel blend I am getting around 22 mpg running 70-80 mph, even in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Still below the EPA estimate, but that is OK with me...

Yeah - I agree. I think it is just Toyota being super cautious. But the window cracked a bit is a good idea IMO.

I read the owner's manual about charging the 12v in a hybrid. Toyota wants the vehicle to be outside with the negative cable unhooked when you do that. There were other things but I don't remember what they were. Although I have used a maintainer on batteries inside my garage without problems...

Out of balance tires and out of alignment is not uncommon in 4th gens from what I see.

Hopefully they can fix the drift, but probably won't do anything about the transmission bs. My poor shifting has mostly gone away after the first 1k miles.

I am not an electrical engineer, so I really don't know, but that is what my wife's Lexus dealer told her was killing her battery. They also told her Lexus was aware of the problem but did not yet have a fix. I do know that hybrids and electrics charge the 12v from the traction battery or M/G...

Yep, that is what would make me happy too. Good call opening that case with Toyota. They have to know that there is a problem, or they would not have added an alternator for 2025.

You too. My truck envies your truck getting to live in Idaho, although I am near some great off road country as well.

I agree and I would have liked to learn how to do that. But my work schedule is crazy and that means little time but enough money to pay to have it done professionally. My detailer said that the hood on my Pro was one of the toughest he had done, and that there were always issues with the...

You did very well. My quotes for just part of my truck were over $3k.

You are welcome! I debated all the areas I should cover and at first did not intend to do the whole truck. I started with planning for just the front clip and fender flares, but the sides need protection too, and where do you stop? I drive off road sometimes with my tailgate down and that...

Mine was $6,500 and that was the best price of four places I talked to.
