Can’t imagine this will be more than a software update. They’re definitely not ripping my dash apart to fix something I see as a non-issue.

Dealers may vary! Thankfully mine is rock solid. Shout out Bobby Rahal Toyota

I’ve driven my friends 3G Tacoma and this transmission is leaps and bounds better. If the transmission in your truck is worse than a 2G i have to imagine you have an issue.

I get at most 3 hard shifts when the transmission is cold and then it’s very smooth. Not uncommon for modern 8ATs. The ZF in my BMW did the same thing. Definitely not a reason to forgo buying the truck IMO.

Toyota will eventually address this, it’s only a matter of time. I’m sure they’re gathering data and working on this as we speak. These vehicles are too important to their reputation. Maybe that’s me trying to see the glass as half full but I believe they’ll make it right.

Interested to see those reports because while it was true in the prior gen trucks, the 4G TRD OR no longer uses 4600s. The 5100 is the same diameter as the stock shock but lacks a reservoir and the ESCV feature.

I I reached out to them regarding the Bilstein 5100 and that was just their response to me. The TRD lift kit is a rebadged 5100. TRD OR trucks will need to go to the Bilstein 6112/5160 to properly lift the truck without losing shock performance. Or obviously go Fox, Kings, etc etc.

According to Shocks Surplus the factory lift is a downgrade in shock for the TRD OR. You’re not missing out on anything

I ran 93 since the first few fill ups and have noticed a big difference. To me it’s a no brainer to use premium with a high compression turbo engine.

Oof. Yeah I’ll deal with the occasional popping sound lol.

My truck tracks perfectly straight. Definitely not normal.

I have just the axle back installed and am wondering if the TRD center pipe makes a noticeable difference in tone. At this point I have other wants to spend my money on haha but I’d be willing to bet it sounds even better with the center pipe

If you’re not sending it over dunes or blasting down fire roads then the 5100s it comes with should serve you fine. Harder sell for those who already own the truck but for those buying new with it already installed it’s a solid buy IMO.

Does anyone know where one can buy a custom fit rubber mat for the dash storage ledge? I can’t seem to find any but feel it would be a nice addition to prevent things from sliding around.

6112/5160s are supposed to be released Q4. Feel like that’s going to be the move. I’m going to pair those with the TRD UCAs and call it a day

Understand your thinking but the main reason for the switch was emissions, not mpg. Paired with increased HP and torque it was an easy decision on their behalf.

I would send the invoice for the trans cooler straight to Toyota. 🤣 I also enjoy my truck and don’t plan on dumping it but they need to figure it out with this transmission issue.

Nice build. Curious since it seems that you do some legit off roading. How has your transmission held up? Are you getting a lot of overtemp warnings like I’m seeing others have on here?

The only time it’s “acceptable” to have a rough shift or two is on a cold drivetrain. Anything other than that you should be at the dealer. Good luck

Sounds like that’s been the case huh. Hopefully more and more cases will create a red flag in Toyotas system and they’ll actually do something about it.
