You have a Curt Echo. This is a brake controller, correct? Your truck is equipped to tow 6400 lbs. you have equipped this truck to tow. I don’t see your point.

Properly equipped would be buying one with a trailer brake from the factory. Also, some have used either a Bluetooth controller or wired in a brake control like they used to do years ago.
The bottom line is he said his truck was $10,000 less. This truck he showed us has a base MSRP of 42,900. That means his base on his TRD off-road should’ve been 32,900. We all know that is BS.
This guy doesn’t understand that the truck he is comparing to is much more loaded than his own. His truck has roughly $12,000 worth of options. This one has 18,000. That’s why this truck is more money. It’s not some conspiracy theory about inflation or tariffs.
Without posting your window sticker, you are comparing apples to oranges. That truck is completely loaded with every available option. It has $18,000 in options. Here is a 2024 window sticker of a TRD off-road that does not have the lift or predator steps or anything this other one has, and it...
Did you look at the window sticker? Does your truck also have the $3500 factory lift kit? The predator steps at almost $1000? I see a very well loaded down Trd off-road for about the price they were going for last year.
The only way to increase rear speaker output is to set the fader to more rear. If that cuts the power too much, install the Beatsonic amp to raise it back up.
Every gen Tacoma has had issues. Being an all new platform, the isolated problems have been few. Sorry you are having issues, but once ironed out, this will be an amazing generation.
The dock has four wires. Two charge it, and the other two provide a signal from the amplifier. When the flex speaker is installed, it is hardwired to the stereo, not connected via Bluetooth. There is no way to sync up the head unit with another JBL speaker.
The amp does increase the volume. But what you do not realize is the higher the volume on the head unit, the more the sound gets neutered by the head unit. If the head unit thinks it’s at a lower volume, it gives it full bass and highs.
