Dealers trying to sell you service your truck does not need has been going on forever. One time I left my 2nd gen with my dealer and told them to do the services required at that mileage interval. When I picked it up the bill was huge, because they added all kinds of crap. Lesson learned, check...
The use of start/stop tech did not come from an EPA rule. It was started by vehicle makers hoping to reduce their CAFE scores. That is why in the early days some companies used it and others did not. It was never mandated by the EPA or banned.
At some point the EPA started to give credits to...
The last thing my truck needs is even more nannies. We get into arguments all the time. lol
My wife's SUV has that attention monitor bs and when I drive it wearing dark sunglasses it freaks out. Constantly beeping and commanding me to look at the road. I shout back, I am looking at the freaking...
Interesting color, but doesn't seem to me to fit a Pro all that well. On the other hand that Pro does look good in Wave Maker, but not really bad ass like some other colors. I like how there is a steady rotation of special Pro colors.
I'm glad I have my Terra but I know a lot of people don't...
Yeah, my comment was meant for non-hybrids. Letting you disable stop/start in a menu could definitely be done in software, but you would be surprised at how much a simple change can cost when all of the changes are verified, approved and tested. The actual code changes would be pretty simple...
Right, and it has to be turned off on every engine start to get the bonus on the CAFE requirements. That at least should change once the EPA updates the rules, so hopefully it can be turned off once and done. That should only take a software change, which improves our chances of seeing it...
Yeah - it sucks, although it works so well in the hybrids that I don't mind.
The EPA can't really ban it but they will stop giving car makers points for adding it. It is hard to say if that will make it go away or not. Probably not right away because the redesign would cost a lot of money. But...
Some dealers have even refused to take the seats apart because they might screw something up. If you do that you might want to take some pictures -I know a lot of people would appreciate seeing how that goes.
Looks good, and it will just get better as you add stuff. Yeah, getting inside between the step up, where I keep the wheel, and seat is tight for me too. It became a lot easier after I added my sliders. All good in the end though because I really love the bolsters on those seats and the way they...
Good point, and that is probably the reason. I have never used mine as an actual mirror, but it is no doubt required by law that there be a usable mirror there just in case.
Thanks for the video btw - I will get the film soon and I will use your code.
I agree @bitflogger, lots of 8/10 speed automatics have similar problems. Mine had some odd shifts and a few scary reverse engagements when it was below 1k miles, but now it is mostly fine. I have no idea what changed but as long as it stays the way it is I am a happy camper.
All vehicles pull slightly to the right because of how roads are constructed with a crown in the center. That is something we all should be used to and I assume the discussion is about a greater pull to the right than that. My truck tracks as straight as my other trucks/cars have and it would be...
Congrats, your truck look sweet. There is a very good reason the first 4th gen Pros shown were white!
Have fun tomorrow and share your first impressions. Mine still impresses me every time I drive it.
As @USMCFlyr points out some 4th gens have this problem and some do not. That tells me there is something wrong with your truck @cranny. I wouldn't worry about the exact temperature of the fluid, but if it is going into limp mode climbing a grade it isn't much of an off road truck, is it? Plus...
Thanks for the info! I was just surprised because my wife has a two color 2023 Toyota product and her sticker just shows the code for each color and mine does not show either one.
I have the same question. The mod has to have caused a problem and all the Icon plate does is prevent one. It would take a lot of balls to say reinforcing the factory top hat caused it to fail.
