I was driving a rental Chevy onto a military base a few years ago, and my passenger who was also a former marine kept saying, turn off your lights, turn off your lights. I said I know the rules, but the guards are just going to have to live with it because I don't know how to turn off the F'ing...

I saw a BMW review that showed how you had to use the touch screen to adjust the outside mirrors. Tesla is the worst, where almost everything is done via the touch screen, often multiple menus deep.

Good theory. Rodents have eaten through more than one of my fuel lines and unless you regularly do inspections you don't see the damage until something leaks.

I just read a review of a new Toyota product that has a new OS for the screens. The biggest complaint of the current system is the clunky navigation through the steering wheel buttons, and how few things can be changed through the main screen. The new system puts a lot more things on the...

I was just speaking from a mechanical engineering POV, that inline 4s are not naturally balanced engines. I have had more than one Toyota 4 cylinder that was very smooth too. I have not noticed any unusual vibration when my truck is in 4HI. It would be interesting to see if anyone else has...

Four bangers are not inherently balanced engines, so under load they are more likely to shake or vibrate. Maybe that is what you are feeling?

Yep that chin spoiler is not only hard on the eyes it would seriously get in the way in any hard core off road stuff. I always tell people who complain about mpg that they bought the wrong vehicle if they wanted great mileage, particularly one of the halos. I think people complain about 4th...

I'd never put a chin spoiler on my truck, even for better fuel mileage. If I had wanted an ugly truck I would have bought a Ford. :)

I'm guessing that is true for most 4th gens, but it doesn't stop some dealers and even Toyota from having the balls to lie about it. That's the part that amazes me - that answer is used over and over by dealers.

@CheesyTaco I know you don't need me to tell you, but this sucks big time. You take your truck in for a simple software update and the it ends up totally F'd and torn to pieces. @maxx075 is right - it will never be the same again and they still have no clue what is going on. My truck is...

OK, it is a characteristic of the 4th gens and can't be fixed. Does that mean I need to have them figure out why my truck tracks straight and true? According to that logic there has to be something wrong with my truck, or it would drive like crap. There seems to be something seriously wrong with...

I keep putting of my trailer blind spot update, and now I know why. I hate how dealers jump on any excuse to push the blame/repair costs onto owners. It isn't hard to see why hardly anyone trusts dealership service these days.

And I assume your dealer has no clue about WTF is wrong?

Now that is a big change! How are you liking your new Taco?

OK, thanks for clearing that up. I said I didn't remember the details. lol So probably not a lot of hope for a larger Toyota tank for Tacos then. There is so little room under there that maybe there never will be one, which sucks.

I don't remember all the details, but the 2026 Tundra is finally getting an option for a larger fuel tank. Maybe that means there is some hope for either Toyota or LongRangeAmerica to come up with something for Tacomas.

I love the materials in my truck, but I paid an arm and a leg for it. Every time I sit in anything but a halo I see that Toyota really cut costs by using low quality materials. It didn't used to be that way in earlier generations, where even the less expensive trims were made out of good...

Yes - the app does run down the battery if you stay logged in. The same thing happened to my wife's SUV. Since she stopped using the app her battery has not run completely down again. But I think the root cause is that anything can run down the battery when it is kept at such a low state of...

@rkohlerbend Here is my theory, which might explain your truck, but it is only a theory. I think most hybrids came with 12 volt batteries which were fine. My truck has not gone completely dead yet, but its resting state of charge (SOC) is always between 12.0-12.2 volts. Over time keeping a 12...

Exactly! We respect our trucks and know other Taco owners do too, so parking by them is a safety in numbers thing. I also tend to see truck of all makes parked together because truck owners value their rides more than people driving anonymous, look alike SUVs.
