  1. "Recommended" (but not covered) Wheel Alignment at 15K mile service?

    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...
  2. EPA to ban the Start/Stop Feature [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    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...
  3. Bed Liner Question on TRD Pro

    Pros don't come with any bed liner from the factory. Some get spray in liners at the port, and the dealer should be able to add that this far out.
  4. The government has mandated a kill-switch in new vehicles sold after 2026.

    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...
  5. Wave Maker is the new 2026 Tacoma TRD Pro Color [Video Added]

    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...
  6. TRD Pro Impossible to Align Properly...

    A little positive camber in the front usually improves the steering feel and response, so it is often different than rear camber in my experience.
  7. EPA to ban the Start/Stop Feature [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    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...
  8. EPA to ban the Start/Stop Feature [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    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...
  9. EPA to ban the Start/Stop Feature [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    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...
  10. Describe your transmission behavior.

    I agree. Manufacturers fight for ever fraction of a mpg. Spread out across the fleet it can save them real money.
  11. Seat Clunk TRD PRO

    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.
  12. MQ's 2025 TRD Pro Ice Cap/Cockpit Red Build

    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...
  13. Screen Protech Review

    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.
  14. Screen Protech Review

    I need to do this soon and 10% off helps. I wish there was an anti-glare film for the digital mirror, which can grab some very bad reflections.
  15. Transmission Behavior when Cold -

    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.
  16. TRD Pro Impossible to Align Properly...

    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...
  17. Soon to be New 2025 TRD Pro owner!

    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.
  18. 2024 Tacoma Transmission Overheating on Long Climbs Off-Road

    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...
  19. Touch up paint color code for 2024 Terra

    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.
  20. Shock top hat failure on our stock 2024 Tacoma Off-Road while offroading

    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.
