Damn - my truck is a 3TYLC5LN too - and my number falls below the cutoff. My truck still shifts perfectly, but now I can wait and see what happens too. I will be checking for codes with my Carista on a regular basis. The replacement doesn't bother me because it is straight forward, even with...

I really like both halo models and I prefer the interior treatment a bit more in the Trailhunter. I particularly like the seats and the material they use where my Pro has the fake carbon fiber. The T'H has some nice interior colors as well. Both are great trucks and they compare very well, even...

No, but it will probably get there eventually.

I checked my truck a little more closely and attached a couple of picts. That part is heavy cast metal and most of it is painted black. Where it was machined it is bare metal and mine is rusting too. Since my truck is just a month old these show how it looks when it is just starting. But...

I was reminded about how people talk about the Pro by the comments in the video Bill posted. I only made it a page or two, but every one said it was under featured or overpriced or both. Luckily I have been around long enough to figure this stuff out for myself and I love my truck. In the last...

Yeah - you don't expect rust anywhere under the hood on a new truck - or anywhere at all actually. I would see what a dealer has to say about that rust if it was my truck. It sure seems like it is related to the cowl defect to me. Update: I just checked that part on my truck and I will get...

Yeah - I drove one too and that is why I said it was not for me. I actually find it funny that so many people treat the Pro and TH as completely different trucks, when they really are very similar. I think the 10 year olds in all of us love the Pro, and my inner kid is still strong. lol The...

Wow - that sucks. So this could end up happening to any of us and I can see how the heat could speed that up. Toyota had better order a crap load of these to be ready to start replacing them.

@WKTJR1 I see from your signature that you have found another Limited, and it is red! Congrats. Now that I have my truck I have a good sense of what a great truck a Limited hybrid will be, and in the long run I think that your hassles and time spent will be well rewarded.

A good review and I can't argue with any of his points, good or bad. Is the Pro perfect? Of course not, because all trucks are compromises as daily drivers. But as a truck it is the best balance of looks, size, handling and instant power when you need it that I have ever driven, and I have...

@Timoteo Your tailgate sounds bad enough that even a dealer tech should be able to figure that out. lol Have you had your dealer look at this yet? It does not sound like it is even close to working right.

Inflators are almost always wrong - it may be required by law. lol You have wheel pressure sensors which have moved and might not have been recalibrated, that sounds like a possible cause of this to me. If it is a good quality gauge and the tires are cold, I would go by that and then get the...

That sounds like something rubbing somewhere in the drivetrain, but why would you hear it coming from inside the cabin? That one should test out the skills of your dealer's techs. Good luck.

Nice truck @evlfred - Chevy trucks from that era are among my favorites. I saw a nice one at a local car show and it won the best truck vote because it was so cool.

Yeah - same here - I had the TRD true dual exhaust and it was perfect. Plenty of beautiful V8 music when you got on it, no drone and just a nice motor boat burble when cruising. Now that I will miss, but not its amazing thirst for fuel. :)

@JustAnotherDingus No, there is no way to alter the stop/start in any 4th gen hybrid, even with a Carista. When the engine runs and when it shuts off is strictly under the control of the hybrid system. When I let off the gas and coast to a stop the ICE shuts off immediately. As I am slowing...

@Vidman I loved my Tundra too and even after almost 14 years I was sorry to see it go. But now that I have my 4th gen I don't really miss it as much as I thought. :cool:

It is a manufacturing mistake. The debris is left over from casting the torque converter housing, which was not properly cleaned out before assembly. In this case the culprit was the transmission maker Aisin, but it is the same mistake that Toyota made with the engines in the Tundra which are...

The HUD works fine with my non-polarized gun glasses too, only my polarized pair cause a problem.

Yeah - I'm never 100% sure what hybrids are doing or why, but I do know they work very well in the 4th gen Tacoma. My dealer ups the Toyota engine warranty to lifetime of ownership and includes the whole hybrid system, soo they seem to think they are going to be fine.
