I'm averaging around 15mpg in town too, stock tire size, hybrid TRD OR

I have used his video's to do some engine maintenance on the V6 in the RAV4 we had, and how to change the transmission fluid on the 2017 hybrid RAV4. His tutorials are excellent.

the car care nut recommends 5k minimum oil changes. he claims that Toyota engines start to burn oil when the engine gets over 100k or more due to owners following Toyota recommended oil changes at 10k. He says that that is too long and causes the rings to start sticking due to "old" oil. He...

I think it might have been the car care nut that said this. One would need to watch it again to understand his point he makes. Was surprising to me too, but also makes sense. So....?

according to the car care nut or the oil guy, can't remember who, apparently the oil system is some how electronically or some how mechanically controlled according to the oil that Toyota specs it for. So it cannot make adjustments when using oil weights other than what is recommended, like the...

Actually it might have been the car care nut, or maybe both discussed this

he recently posted on youtube a discussion on using 0-20 vs 5-20 or any other weights offered in different countries. Basically his take is that engines that "require" 0W-20 have the oil pump that is electrically controlled, I think he said, that it is set to work with 0W-20 and cannot adjust...

installed this, thanks again for the info

interesting

its not about how fast you can go around a track, it's what kind of confidence to they give you when encountering snowy/icy/rainy conditions. I drove from Seattle area to Anchorage last February and before I left I switched to the KO3's. On the drive they did good, but I never really...

If you select Sport mode in the mode selector that would probable keep the engine running at all times too, but you may have to select it every time you start it again. We have a 2017 Rav 4 hybrid and this 2024 Taco hybrid. Both will shut off the engine when it thinks its the right time. If...

it seems funny to me how everyone that's commented on the TRD Bilstein shocks say they are too soft. I find them too hard, interested in finding something that rides softer, but still can handle some towing duties. Don't know.

from my experience manual mode isn't a true manual mode. if the truck doesn't like the gear you selected it will not let you shift into that gear, which is frustrating at times, so why even offer the manual mode?

Mine would have the rpms either stop at 2000rpm while idling down or if at idle coming to a stop idle up to 2000rpm. If I blip the throttle it would idle back down. Dropped it off at the local dealer since I was going to be out of town for two weeks. When I got back the shop foreman said that...

been discussed in length recently. one way is to turn tow/haul on when you come to a stop. otherwise I don't believe there is a way.

2024 TRD Off Road hybrid. AWE with full length. I like the sound, wife thinks it's too loud. Only complaint is hwy driving, especially towing as the trans mostly stays in 7th gear and doesn't go to 8th, it's bit louder than I would like for road trips. Also, the sound seems to get deeper with...

does the trans cooler work with the hybrid?

I have that on my hybrid. in town I like it, my wife also thinks it's too loud. on the hwy, especially towing, it is very drony :-(

thanks, been doing a search and so far all the results are coming back from Canadian dealers.

what dealer did you buy from? did you have to call them to place the order?
