Thanks for your comments, Stuck. I have tried to compare how much slippage vs. acceleration with the traction control turned off. I don't notice a difference, at least on dry pavement. I'll try it sometime in the rain; maybe the traction control actually would react better/faster than my right...

Excuse me, but can anyone with professional training or access to official Toyota documentation weigh in on this? I am not an expert in AI and have used Gemini more than ChatGPT, but I wanted to see the source of the answer shown in the screenshot. To do that I gave exactly the same prompt to...

Thank you, Andrew, great write-up. I noticed one difference between yours and Team Oil Drop: TOD says that the crush washers should have the 'seam up' when the bolt is lying on a table with threads up, in other words OPPOSITE of what you said here. I have just removed the fill plug from my...

I guess I'm driving from Texas to Kentucky for any warranty work...

Yes, exactly. I am really not a truck guy by heart, rather by necessity. Just for driving I would have been much happier spending the same money on a Civic Type R. With all the various ways to reduce this problem (other than driving around with a bunch of dead weight in the bed), why do we...

Alright, I'm sick of all the misinformation going on around 4th Gen Tacoma rear differentials and traction control systems. If you believe that A-TRAC is present on ANY version of 2024+ Tacoma, please reply with some documentation other than this pre-launch Toyota press release from May 18...

I have a 2025 TRD O/R with manual transmission and it has a very strange noise that seems to come from the rear passenger side SOMETIMES. It is sort of a wind or fan noise and I have noticed that it begins when I am messing with the climate control. Specifically, the noise happens when I turn...

Even though the Predator steps were put on a high percentage of the trucks coming through Gulf States Toyota (all of Texas etc), many people apparently hate them and they are flimsy. I would think you could find a set locally from somebody who took them off right after delivery. I don't know...

I'm extremely interested in the rev hang situation. If anyone can confirm that it was 'fixed' (software update or some physical change, from Toyota) then I want it! My '25 OR manual, delivered Feb and built last December or January, certainly DOES have significant rev hang. It's not a big...

You make some good points. I'm still not giving them more money.

If your truck is stock (no suspension mods, no tire size change, nothing heavy in the bed or on the hitch), and the lights were correctly aimed at the factory, then the light aiming dial belongs at position zero. The numbers on that dial do not represent either inches or degrees, they are just...

Does anyone have information about the traction control (whether mine is functioning correctly)? I thought that it should be applying some braking to the left rear when the right is starting to spin, thereby allowing the left also to apply some torque. Not as good a solution as a viscous...

My O/R manual is the first pickup I've owned. One of the situations that I didn't expect, or at least thought would be less severe, is the inability to accelerate strongly from a stop on dry pavement. For reference, I'm coming off a Subaru (which has nearly perfect traction) and before that...

My experience with Cedar Park Toyota was much different. Like all the other dealers (salesmen) I talked to within hundreds of miles of my house, they were unwilling to talk about anything other than vehicles they had already been allocated. They told you the truth about Gulf States Toyota...

Once again, Andrace is correct.

I can't tell from that web page what you would be buying. Is it just a rack that would go above the bed, or is it that plus the roof rack with the wind deflector? If it's the latter then I would expect your mileage to decrease significantly. But if you already have the roof rack, then adding...

You're right about it blowing cold even without the A/C button engaged. I think when you use the Auto mode, the A/C is engaged but it does not turn on the A/C light. Just another stupid choice by Toyota if you ask me. RE: the original post, I suspect that the vents are getting wet when it's...

Thanks, Ron, I'm checking out Baja now.

My 6MT is getting about the same as Andrace's. I do think the tonneau cover is helping a little.

I don't want to make anybody's head explode, but one of the first things I did when I got home with a new TRD Off Road was to painstakingly REMOVE the turd stickers from the rear fenders. I have always hated the acronym and made fun of these "racing" Toyotas over the years, but now my brothers...
