Anything that negatively affects performance or capability without any other benefit. Squatting or excessive poke. I’m also not a fan of up badging or putting performance stickers for things that aren’t actually installed. Otherwise it’s just personal preference. I don’t care for trucks or cars...

You can “resume” at the lower speed. If you hit the cruise control button again, it will set it at your current speed and start cruise control. Resume will resume at your old speed and then you’ll have to adjust it from there.

The colors on the plug you have are arbitrary. That plug is used for many different functions so the wire colors are just so you can differentiate them, not to match any sort of standard. You can reference the photo I took of which color from the adapter goes into which pin of the plug and...

In your case it’s going to be: Adapter Red = Plug Yellow Adapter Yellow = Plug Green Adapter Black = Plug Black

The 2024 Hybrids do not have an alternator. They use the DC to DC converter for the 12v systems. The 2025 hybrids with 4 AUX switches do have an alternator to supplement the power draw. So it is possible the DC to DC converter of the Hybrid provides more amps for the sound system to work with.

2024 Trailhunter

Hmm. I’m no audiophile but I had a different experience. It added a ton of clarity and made the center speaker much less overwhelming. I tend to keep my volume fairly low though.

As far as I am aware the Trailhunter rear springs are beefed up and will add lift. It may end up being level without the rear springs by dropping the rear rather than raising the front, or in your case raising the front like a typical level. The trailhunter comes fairly level to start with...

Maybe I missed it, but moving the balance one tick backwards helped a lot for me. You mentioned moving things to the rear one notch with beat sonic. Either this is what you were talking about or it has a similar result.

I believe that should still have it. It may be in a slightly different location though. The plug is for the OEM dashcam. Not sure what year would be the cutoff for the Highlander.

What year and trim? As far as I’m aware they should all have it. The tech refresh is going to allow Toyota to record using the external cameras, but until then they should all have the accessory plug.

More than a small hack. That removes the OEM hitch which is part of the frame.

To be clear, Toyota sells the trim pieces which do not actually seal anything and are just cosmetic. The holes are originally sealed by a film that is painted over during manufacturing. You will need to do something to seal these holes.

I took mine off. I have not seen any good options. What I did was buy (8) M6x12mm bolts to plug the holes and then used some silicone caulk over them for weather sealant. Then when I sold the rack I traded the trim pieces with the guy I sold it to. I’ve seen other people just seal the holes...

Peace of mind knowing you're doing what you can to extend the life of your investment. And to be pedantic about it, the manufacturer does recommend 5k oil change intervals for "severe" cases like towing or dusty conditions. So rather than try to calculate exactly where you fall in that range...

Good solution. I was a little disappointed as well. I ended up just filing them down around the edges.

This has been well discussed. Oil is cheap insurance. Do it at 5k for peace of mind. I brought my truck in for the free 5k "service" and they also did the trailer blind spot upgrade. I asked them to do the oil and they said since it wasn't a part of the 5k service they could do the 10k service...

Hey, check out this thread on wiring a dash cam. This is the route I would recommend. https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/dashcam-hardwire-w-o-fuse-box-almost-as-easy-as-dongar.9910/

No. I believe the axle angle is the same or similar, and the lift is achieved with a wider stance and suspension geometry. There was a thread where people were sharing the axle angle of their different models but I can't find it now.

I have the revolver. It does not completely get out of the way. I still use it with my bikes but I try to stuff the wheel in the corner rather than the middle. I think if you tie the bikes down too tight in the middle you might bend the aluminum slats. It's not hard to remove though. I mostly...
