I think that just the comments are biased, but most people who vote are not having problems or don't know? I think if you don't know you are probably fine. So I think a good majority are not having problems and are even probably undercounted in this poll. That still doesn't make it easier when...

Good question. The fans might remain on but probably not the coolant flow. But I don't really think that this will be a problem in most use. I believe that coolant and/or the oil flow continue after the engine is turned off in both hybrid and non hybrid powertrains. Toyota is not known to take...

They are all turbos, but I assume you meant hybrids. The hybrid system shuts off the ICE engine frequently. I am 100% sure that Toyota accounted for engine and turbo cooling and turbo oil flow after it shuts off. I read that all of the accessories were electric on the hybrid so the critical...

I agree @ChrisWhaaaat. Some Toyota hybrids like a Prius Prime or RAV4 get really good mileage - near 50 mpg - but our trucks are for power, and do that incredibly well IMO, and with no gas use penalty. The best of both worlds from my POV.

The running out of fuel case is covered in the manual, but basically you don't want to do it. That will be tow truck time and you can't count on much range with just the battery. So @trailhunger is right, it won't go for long and was not designed to. Like @SonoranSurvivalist I don't get the too...

Glad to see a positive review and the price is right on the Beat Sonic amp. Have you figured out yet what speakers you will use? I also plan to add sound dampening mats, which has worked well for me in the past.

I am also looking to eventually improve the sound from my JBL system. A better amp that would let you adjust the sound field would be a big help IMO - maybe configurable by Bluetooth? I haven't seen anyone installing different speakers, which I would like to try. Getting to the door speakers...

I think @TrashPanda is right. Ceramic is very slick and I don't think the adhesive would hold for long.

I usually run a couple of psi higher than recommended, just so I don't get low pressure warnings every time it gets a bit colder. So my Pro is at 32 front/rear, although it is getting colder, so they are probably closer to 30 psi now. The rule of thumb is 1 psi drop for every 10 degrees F lower...

Your truck looks great @ejhenry001. The ceramic coating really sets off your Underground beauty and I like those running boards a lot!

A forum member lost his TRD Pro transmission at 342 miles! I never thought about how a lease would affect that, but that is something to remember in the future.

That is what I have been thinking - Toyota needs a way to diagnose which trucks are so contaminated that they are likely to fail. That way they could just inspect/repair those. Maybe the filters are full of debris and are bypassing.

Yeah - and this may almost be "normal" because so many 4th gens seem to have it. lol Any dealer should do your warranty repair and the biggest problem might be getting the part because so many trucks seem to have that problem. I'm just glad that I dodged this particular bullet.

Yeah, I love my truck and I write software for a living, but I find configuring the gauges extremely confusing. I might need to look for a YouTube video that might make this whole thing easier. I bet a lot of owners get them as close as possible to what they want and then just give up. From...

Here is something to compare this to. I know someone who bought a Hyundai Santa Cruz and had the instrument cluster light up every warning possible and stay that way. The dealer ruled that it was unsafe to drive and would not give it back. There were no codes and Hyundai did not have a fix. So...

I have not yet run into this problem, but I will add the LKAS activation to my bag of tricks if it does happen. Good info to have.

I think the poorly fitting cowl trim is something that starts out that way. I hope that is the case because mine fits perfectly right now. I would ask your sales guy why they are selling defective trucks when they should be ordering replacement parts. Or are they claiming that trim that...

I agree that the failure rate is probably extremely low, and that most 4th gen owners will never have this problem. I don't agree that rough or harsh shifts in a Toyota product are normal. Poor shift quality is common when shift solenoids are not working correctly and they have preceded most...

You need a OBD2 code reader or you can get it done at a lot of auto parts stores. If your truck has stored the solenoid codes you are included in the remedy in the TSB. If not you just have to wait and see what happens like @Gfenza89 is doing.

Have you checked to see if your truck has stored a solenoid code?
