Yes, the dealer will be happy to sell you a set for some exorbitant amount of money. Alternatively, scour the marketplace for a lightly used set of Tundra TRD wheels or something. Endless aftermarket options too, of course.
So jealous. Been waiting on mine FOREVER (same config as yours). Still no ETA. Dealer just guessed "before the end of the year" with absolutely no basis for that guess. I think the very first ones in that configuration just landed in Canada late last week.
Likely based on risk analysis. There's no requirement to issue a recall if it's not a safety issue, and as long as the likelihood of a failure is below a certain threshold, it's in their best interest to just repair the ones that break rather than intervene proactively.
In fairness, EPA also doesn't look at a full tank mileage or over the life of the vehicle. They use trip mileage, but have a defined trip (ie. speed, acceleration rate, distance traveled, etc). They are just doing a relatively short trip, but eliminating a number of variables so that they can...
2025 Tundra info dropped the other day, so I am wondering if Tacoma info will come out soon. I still don't even have a build date on mine, so kinda hoping it ends up being MY2025 at this point.
My experience is limited to Weathertech, and while I find their coverage pretty good, I hate the lack of grip. When it's snowy out and you get in your vehicle with snowy boots/shoes, it's really frustrating when they just slide around like crazy on the mat. Also, a lot of salt on our roads in...
I've been debating this recently too. I have been assuming that I will opt for dedicated winters on the OEM wheels (when primary duty is commuting in town), and then switch to all-terrains for summer and shoulder seasons, where On/Off-road mixed driving is expected. But I haven't really...
Seems generally the Canadians are getting better mileage, but I think that's because most of our highways are 100km/h or maybe 110km/h which is much closer to what the EPA uses for mileage ratings (IIRC they do a few stints accelerating up to 55mph). Not many people ripping across country at...
Not only that, but because Toyota is using the same 1.87kWh NiMH pack in so many vehicles, I expect it to attract battery recyclers, so there should be some good options for cheaper replacements in the future. Wouldn't be surprised if someone even developed a lithium replacement for reduced...
Still waiting on mine, but going with hybrid. I'm tired of new 4cyl turbo vehicles having that off-the-line lag, and even though it's fairly minimal on the gas model, I want it to not exist. I'm also expecting the hybrid to tow very smoothly, and I like that although the hybrid doesn't see a...
I'm planning to just get the OEM bed mat because it's a pretty cost effective way to add durability and grip. The spray-on bedliners are pretty decent, but I've seen some chip/flake off over time, and it's a bit pricier.
I'm also planning on getting the OEM hard tonneau cover based on some...
Welp. I am still waiting for news on my allocation. I have called around all over AB/SK/MB and have found a few black and solar octane TRD OR Premium iForceMAX, but no white. It seems like Toyota is producing the Canadian models in very small batches, one colour at a time. At this point, I'm...
