24 Trailhunter here, if you are ok with how it rides empty, but not loaded, I would start with the air lift air bags. It gives you fine control over how high you want the truck to ride, and you can adjust it based on your load. It also doesn't give you the dumptruck feel when you are unloaded...
It's possible, but have you tried to actually order those? I've tried several dealerships because I've spent 20 years using stock wiper blades in my tacomas, I wasn't going to change for the new Trailhunter. Nobody could get them. Everyone had them "in stock." I might be wrong on the price, but...
Every single dealership tries to upsell, and in the process sells you a whole new wiper holder that no longer accepts the factory blades. Then every time after, they sell you the whole new holder and blade. The rubber inserts are special order from Japan. My last order I ordered 5 of each side...
Strange that you mention this- I also noticed a slight increase in mileage, but not nearly as drastic. I'm normally in the 15.2 range per tank over the last 35k miles, and have seen an improvement up to 15.5-15.8. It's only been about 3k miles with the charger, we'll see if that continues to be...
That’s not all. It reports service lights to your local dealership if they have your contact info. I’d spent two years with my local dealership trying to get them to contact me about a service issue, and finally in the last 6 months I started getting responses from them. Last week my service...
I'm pretty sure the stop signs and speed limits indicators are driven from visual information from the cameras, not the GPS. Don't expect you would see any changes in these. The only way you could confirm it was not transmitting information would be to try to hook up your phone app and have it...
Its a Cascadia 4x4 Solar charger/supply setup. In full sun it will pull the battery up to about 13.5 volts, pushing 80-90 watts. I've found with the 2024 with no alternator, the truck will leave the start battery around 11.8 volts, and since I'm out of town two weeks at a time this has left me...
~750 lbs of cave diving gear, including dive compressor and gas booster, tanks, scooters, and rebreathers, plus the Taxa Cricket Camper. This is our normal cross country load.
Hey @marie_arb, thanks for the post.
Also in a Trailhunter, with a Zenith bumper and winch up front, GFC topper on the back. I normally carry 750 lbs of cave diving gear across the back seats and bed and tow a small camper with a 250 lb tongue weight. I currently have AirLift airbags taking the...
Follow up, I installed them, and they work fantastic. I loaded the truck up with 800 lbs of dive gear and drove from Tennessee to Mexico, and only bottomed everything out once or twice. I found that with the truck empty and 16" of ground to hitch space, with the truck loaded like this, I needed...
Bump on this post. Still looking for the part number- my local dealership has tried for over a year now to replace it under warranty, and apparently, they care too little.
Here's a gratuitous, if not somewhat dirty, picture of said Zenith bumper in Northern Coahuila (Mexico) wandering around the desert looking for caves. From a distance it looks great, but the real issue is the plastic tacoma parts behind it that have to be trimmed to fit the bumper, and...
I unfortunately had the Zenith bumper installed on my 24 Trailhunter. I say unfortunately, because though I like the bumper, (I wish it had brush guards like your upcoming summit) the engineering of the installation is appalling. The shop I worked with regularly installs ARB bumpers and the...
