I've never had the cover under my rear set off, so I didn't realize it had an AGM battery. I agree that for @Tom Sellick's battery to quickly go down to that level there must be an unusually large draw. I hope his dealer figures that out and shares what they find. Whenever I replace my 12V I...

I think the only good way to jump a dead hybrid is with a jump pack. That gets you around the problems you mentioned and that @Lennyz1 pointed out. Hopefully roadside assistance brings one along.

The design is the same, and the only difference is that the replacement is not warped. I do have some pictures of the bottom of the cap and I will post them soon.

The question is more about why some of the 2025 Tacoma hybrids have alternators, and why 2024 models and some 2025 models don't have them. Toyota should share why they made the change and how those of us without alternators are affected. If it is meant to make them better able to be driven as...

My bed rail cap finally came in and I installed it myself. I don't think that double sided tape was ever intended to retain the cap, just to align it in the front. There are many plugs fastening it to the bed but only a few in the front, and mine was too warped to stay in place. The new one fits...

You lose all the functions as long as you are logged out, but once you log in again everything works. You just can't leave your phone logged into the Toyota app long term if you want the battery to survive. She now carries a jump pack in her car and knows how to open the driver's door when the...

I have not had any battery problems with my truck and it sits for a good while, but your idea reminded me of something else. My wife has a Lexus EV and it has run its 12V down a couple of times. The dealer told us it was the app that was causing that and that Toyota does not yet have a...

That is what I think too. To redesign the electrical system to add an alternator would be expensive from a design/hardware/software perspective, not counting all the testing and engineering signoffs required before putting the change into production. I don't think they would have done that just...

Yep, I would. If it can't be adjusted to be in spec then it was built wrong and Toyota needs to step up and fix it IMO.

Good point. My mpg seems to change quite a bit almost every time I drive my truck, so it would be tough to figure out if premium made a difference for me.

If the camber is not correct on a TH's front wheels, why can't it just be adjusted to be in spec?

Update: I looked really closely at my tailgate this morning and the black part might be a wrap. The detail shop stopped the PPF just below it and I can feel an edge along the bottom of the black part with my fingernail. Unless it is from where they blended the two paint colors, it could be a...

That would be perfect and I bet it comes along eventually.

I'm confused. On my truck the upper part of the tailgate sheet metal is painted black, and on the top there is a plastic cap that says "TACOMA". Is that just an AI hallucination, or is my truck different than other Pros?

If you mean the plastic top cap I think it is the same on all trims - mine just says TACOMA.

It is starting to sound like an alignment might be a good idea, although this will be the first Toyota that I have had to get aligned so early. If 4th gens are out of alignment at low miles it seems like they were probably built that way. If so, why isn't the alignment covered by our warranty?

Several times I have been at my former Toyota dealer and overheard them recommending service that I know did not need done. One lady had no idea and decided to trust them and let them replace the brake fluid in a 18 month old Camry. She had asked them to check something and after telling her it...

Good find! It would be nice to see a TSB for Tacomas so we know which dust seals should not be replaced.

Yep and although they are cute they don't protect your floors like a good all weather mat will.

@Lando I expect it to move to other trims after the first year, which is what usually happens. I love choices other than black/white/grey too.
