This is the tool that should have been used, it has a big rubber ball on it so you can pry against the rim and not damage it.…. Maybe you want to suggest to the store manager he should order a few….. honestly would be surprised if a tire shop didn’t know these existed, if they don’t, may want to...
I’ll tell you exactly how that happened. When they installed new valves, they likely pried against the side of the rim pulling installing the new valves. Assuming new valves were installed.
Only way is to go into the settings and shut down all of that stuff, then the warnings don’t come on. Typical Toyota with the over informed notifications.
Chances are it’s with the Alpharex headlamps. Aftermarket parts + oddball issues are always place to start. While Alpharex is known to be a good quality, instead of chasing oddball parts not normally an issue, first thing to do is reset everything back to OE, and diagnose from there. You’re not...
In Canada as well, Toyota corporate / brand engagement is equivalent to a bunch of one armed orangutans. 3 trips to the dealer before issue was fixed, that the dealer caused in the first place. Canada needs a lemon law like the US has.
that said, I do know this, Toyota corporate automatically...
So looking like Toyota has released Apple Car Key for the ‘26 RAV4. Any intel from anyone if it’ll get extended to the 4G Tacoma’s?

Go to Amazon, find a bed step, buy that. They’re likely all coming out of the same factory in china. I got one from Amazon, works fine, gone two seasons through a Canadian winter with salt and sand
You call it genius - okay. I wouldn't call someone a genius who can not help themselves by doing a a search or doing some reading on their own to see if they can solve a problem. Would rather be spoon fed answers to their problems. Imagine the world we'd live in. Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein...
Okay, I hear you. I’m an instruction manual / owners manual reader. What you’re saying is better than not reading anything, here’s my next argument, second biggest purchase you make in your lifetime next to a home and you can’t even read the first 10 pages of its owners manual?
It’s all normal on modern vehicles. While it’s true that brakes are biased to the front, modern ADAS systems operate rear brakes.
stability control, radar cruise, traction control, lane keep assist etc all working together. as an example, suppose you wander out of your lane, and the ADAS system...

North American made, individually crafted, really well made, I know because it’s what I bought, super happy with it.
I’ve tried the lexus app for a few weeks based on some posts as well. In the end, it’s no better. Same crap. Initially I thought it was, but after time I realized that I just had a lucky run with it for a few days, ended up going back to the Toyota app. You’ll see, give it time.
I’m in the process of trading in my ‘24 now. Interest rates have dropped on them (2% in Canada) since. 2024. i can move to a ‘26 for the same monthly payment and get a colour I want. The pricing between a new truck and a used one is very blurry in today’s market.
