Interesting that you're blowing through them so fast! Per your comments, we all know that vehicles are more biased towards the front, so yea, why aren't you blowing through the fronts first. Kinda makes me wonder if the electronic parking brakes have something to do with that premature wear...

Good point, your daily habits are a gold mine and can/will be sold. That said, within the Toyota app, I declined all services. The article does state that it's not known what, if any is collected when you decline. Any thoughts? Toyota still mining that gold?

I had a rodent destroy some expensive electronics in a BMW I owned years ago. I only drove the car in the summer, and during the winter parked in a garage. Luckily the dealer fixed it for me under warranty. Was a month long fix since they ate some fiber optic cables to some kind of...

Yea, dont do it -- the 10K change. I'd recommend the 5K change as you indicated.

Old ways, old vehicles were the best. Too many nannies on todays junk.

Thanks for the update on the 5100's. I've got the same model, and while I dont hate this suspension, I've had better. I was curious how the 5100's would feel on the truck. Please do update on the front adjustment. My driving is pretty much 99% on road, and also prefer a slight rake to the truck.

So I'll preface my previous comments that I owned a '96 Tacoma back in the day when they were new, followed by a '98 4Runner. I didn't Offroad the 4Runner, but the Tacoma I did a bit, and I remember it being clunky as well. I didn't think much of it back in the day. Again, and quite honestly I...

Terry, honestly I feel that the 4by system on this thing is a bit clunky in my opinion. Now I can only compare it to my last vehicle, 2021 Silverado, which had the clutch pack in the transfer case, so obviously throwing that into 4x the clutches absorbed all of the driveline lash and whatnot...

After all, oil is cheap as compared to engines! I've 9 oil changes on mine, just sitting @ 26K miles. That's just under 3K. Actually the first 3 or so were basically right on top of one another.

Interesting video, worth sharing. Because sharing is caring…..

I wonder if everything is already built into the steering wheel, but only needs the switch installed to activate. I'm in the same boat with my Taco, where is the steering wheel heater control switch installed?

I had a 2020 Ram Rebel which I enjoyed. I wouldn't say I'm a Mopar/Dodge guy per se, but I did like that truck. They are way, way over priced now. I guess the 5.7 is back, but dont want that e-torque garbage. None the less, Stellantis went insane under that previous CEO, and at this point...

I agree with you in whole heartedly! This has been my understanding for years and what I've always followed. I dont want a weak engine. With that said, I'll usually take my new vehicles into the mountains, and load up on down hill with lower gearing forcing the engine to rev and allow that...

Drive it like you stole it. In all honestly, there's nothing special you need to do, but I wouldn't baby it either. That said, early and often oil changes in an engines life will help flush the garbage out. It's clear, to me, that the manufacturer's are not flushing their blocks as well as I'd...

That old Camaro looks pretty decent for just over 30 years. Cant beat old cars from the west coast!

I dont, but I took advantage of both oil changes. Although I've done quite a few myself, electing to just bring it in. I will say I dont get the warm and fuzzies from the dealer where I bought the truck. The only vehicle's that I would return to the dealer was with the BMW's that I owned, and...

My thoughts exactly. Just watched "I do cars" this past Sunday (Youtube) as I always do every Sunday morning while enjoying my coffee. Car brought into dealer for oil change, forgot to add oil then started it up. Guess you can figure out the rest cuz there it is on an engine stand about to be...

I wouldn't have sweated the 0-16, again per other's comments, it's being used on other Toyotas. My guess is that the dealer probably gets that 0-16 in bulk delivery, and that's probably what they threw into your truck.

I have mine, brand new. Installed it for like an hour or two - took it out. It's for sale if anyone has interest. It's like 3-5lb's of additional boost depending on map, etc. With the type of driving I do anymore, I just dont need to be racing around.

I let it all expire. Dont even care for the remote start via the app. Not a fan of this subscription nonsense. These features should be baked into the vehicle, not designed to drain your wallet monthly, nickel and dime you to death.
