Before this one I had a 2013 pre-runner. Before that I had a Nissan Versa with a tiny engine and rubber-band drive. Actually liked the belt-drive transmission. My daughter has it and it's somewhere over 100,000 miles without breaking.

Inexpensive international travel!

Anyone found any guards yet? I already had to replace a taillight. All I have found so far are tinted covers that use double sided tape to adhere to the light.

I agree with you on the likely failure point. I do recall seeing somewhere what the stock "loop" tow hooks were supposed to be rated for, but I can't find it now (I think they said it was 1.5 times the weight of the truck). If I were seriously expecting to do hard recoveries (vs digging...

The side windows are great for loading and unloading. Took my grandsons camping last month and packed it to the ceiling. Only had to crawl inside once to strap in a propane tank that I didn't want to slide around. I have a long-bed so the front corners can be a stretch but it's way easier than...

Thinking about putting in a dash cam and would like a rear cam to go with it. FITCAMX looks like what I want but the rear cam mounts in the rear window and I have a topper which would block the view. Anyone know of any camera systems that mount to the tailgate?

I got a Factor55 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBWG5SKX?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 I've not had to use it.

Shipping was included. I don't recall if that was a limited time offer or not. Got it through Offroad Alliance

Had mine shipped to my house. Had to drag it down my driveway though (gravel). You do want to torque the bolts correctly. And even then, I had some problems with the seal puffing out. One thing I would do differently is to superglue the entire length of the bottom gaskets instead of just the ends.

Yep. The very first time I did a tank-to-tank calculation of MPG I got 26.3. That was before I had 1000 miles on the truck. If you live somewhere that you do a lot of stop and go, drive at high speeds (I've seen a lot of comments saying that they "only" go 10 mph over the speed limit), or have a...

Huh, they've expanded it. Used to be just 4x4 vehicles with 17" wheels. No fix mentioned yet though.

The manual is your friend.

Finally located my round to-it and did some drop-in screens for the side sliders. A bit crude but I couldn't talk myself into buying a 3-d printer just for this. Had some 3/8 HDPE kicking around and between wood router bits, an oscillating saw and some utility knife work I got something built...

Which one? The Reno Slider looks about as compact as you can get. The DRT looks like you could cut the eye off. There's another entry since this thread started. https://www.tacomalifestyle.com/products/torq-hitch-skid-plate If you search on Amazon for "hitch skid plate" there are quite a few...

Mines on a shelf in the garage. I was occasionally parking in the street at my son's apartment in CA so I took it out. Haven't missed it.

Yep. If it were me, I'd fill up, find a route where I could drive 100 miles at 65 or so without any stop and go, reset a trip meter and do a round-trip using cruise control. Then fill up again and calculate mpg. If it was still below 16, I'd head right to the dealer.

Yeah, my "privilege" came from 10 years of putting every extra dime against debt. No new cars, no air travel, no resort vacations... Started that before I'd even heard of Dave Ramsey.

Just to clarify. Does Toyota navigation generate new driving instructions while off-line? Google maps will not. I downloaded the maps for the area I was going ghost town touring and after using directions to get to one I could not get new directions to head back the way I came. Used the Garmin...

Does Toyota navigation compute paths without cell coverage? Google maps will work offline if you download the maps, but it won't calculate a path.

No, because it says 87 is fine so you don't need to run higher (but you can if you want).
