There's a guy near me I see all the time cruising around in a new XtraCab with a 6 ft bed and a matching topper and every time I see it I'm blown away with how good that combination looks. Don't get me wrong, I love my dual cab, but damn this looks good in person!! Am I alone here? This isn't...

Anyone worried about viscosity should be doing regular UOAs. Just remember that the 2.4T runs a variable oil-pressure system and it is designed around thin oil. If heat breakdown is your concern, try 0W-30. And yeah, 5W-30 is used in Europe, so you’re fine there too.

OK. That’s the problem then. When I started to slip sideways I stopped and shifted over to 4H. It kept flashing and in my experience I usually have to be moving for it to actually go into 4H. Maybe I just wasn’t patient enough? Anyway then I figured since I have to be moving I might as well try...

It's below freezing here and it just lightly snowed and I have a couple of questions. First, if a parking sensor is blocked (in this case by melted ice forming a ribbon down across the sensor) is there any solution to the two error screens that keep popping up and flashing every 30 seconds? I've...

When I bought my ‘24 I had the dealer add and install the tonneau cover before leaving the lot. At the time the OEM covers were back ordered with no scheduled restock date. The GM said this was basically the OEM but not branded. Knocked several hundred off the price since it doesn’t say Toyota...

That is what I find interesting. We know that TGMO is manufactured by Mobil however Toyota specifies a different formulation including the Moly type. I'm sure if they wanted to specify what is in the Mobil 1 they would/could get that but they don't. Their other additives +/or ratios are also...

We have heard various stories about brushing by the selector switch and somehow getting the knob to rotate. Ok, hard to imagine how this happens, but get this. The other day I was sitting down and went to scoot to sit up straighter and the utility pocket on my Carhartts caught the edge of the...

What brand of oil did you use for these changes? I ask because of the Moly numbers. From what I’ve seen on new oil tests the OEM Toyota is formulated with higher Moly vs most all other oils including Mobil 1 which everyone thinks is the OEM oil (but it really isn’t)

I travel a lot, and several times a year I need to leave my truck parked for extended periods. I like the service because a) I can check in on it when I'm out of the country b) I can start it and let it run a bit when I'm away for several weeks and c) in winter it's nice to start it when I get...

Yeah but which one though? I only wanted the start like most people, but now that it’s bundled you have those couple of options between navigation or streaming Apple Music or android music. When I called the helpline, the guy on the other end insisted, and I mean, I checked with him two or three...

Intermittent will slow in stop and go traffic to not overwipe

The lot was totally out of parking so eased it up this hill no problem. 3rd Gen guy joined me right next-door.

Yep! Toyota OEM oil & filters WTF! The OEM oil is NOT Mobil 1 and has a different additive pack

Originally it was to show the debris I found in my filter after changing the oil at 5000 mi on a new engine. This was my second oil change after the first at ~500 mi. I wanted to show the debris to help other members make their own decisions about their oil change intervals. Personally I'm...

Two things - I too get 5k mi stickers but those are for tire rotations, general inspection. At my dealer at least they only change the oil free at 10K and 20K. Second, I’d be cautious on the viscosity change. I’m not suggesting to not do it, but would encourage somebody interested in doing it to...

My totally unscientific and unproven take on the whole 10K mi interval is an average Toyota will go 150K mi on that change interval no problem. However, we here want 300,000 mi minimum on our engines and my unscientific opinion is that's much more likely with 4-5K changes. 10K mi changes are a...

^^^ This ^^^ On my 2003 4Runner for the rear wiper I replaced the entire blade a couple of times over the years and after that it never worked right. Went back to Toyota and bought the full OEM blade and it worked perfectly. When that wore out I replaced just the rubber insert with OEM (about...

While I do not know if this one fits good enough, I've struggled with filter wrenches on-and-off. It it's on tight I've found the filter casing warps and then its even harder to get them off. A couple of years ago I bought the Workpro Oil Filter Wrench Set off Amazon ( https://amzn.to/4lPwE4F )...

It's not all about breaking in the engine. The computer estimate of mpg on the dash takes time and many miles to adjust to how & when you drive and how the truck is driven. If you want to know actual MPG sooner then you need to start using fuelly. EPA calculates MPG using standardized test...

Eat $10,000 eh? At $3.00/gal that's 3333 gallons or almost 60,000 miles at 18mpg. It's been mentioned - and my experience as well - that after ~5000 miles and on the highway these trucks get around 22mpg but you do you.
