2000 Tundra (sold, owned for 21 years) 2020 Tundra (sold) 2021 Tundra 2020 4Runner TRD ORP 2026 4Runner Platinum All had/have a better transmission compared to the 26 4Runner. At times, this 4Runner feels like I'm strapped to an atom smasher.

Touting ownership of 25 year old jeans is next-level dumb.

I have 25+ years of owning, driving, and maintaining Toyota trucks. Your attempt at clarity falls short. Carry on!

My ride was built 12/25. Also, forgot to mention, the service dept stated they found DTC P077571 (Pressure Control Solenoid B actuator stuck). Thanks for the TSB @22peaks

Picked up my ride today. The repair write up states they looked for signs of metal in the transmission fluid. So I guess it was a drain/fill operation, vice top off. They couldn't reproduce the issue after the fluid inspection. They put 26 miles on it in an attempt to recreate the issue...

I'm not sure what's involved in topping/replacing the transmission fluid in the 6th Gen but if dropping the tranny is part of it, that's crazy. Why wouldn't it be a fill/drain plug operation? In my 5th Gen 4Runner and 2.5 Gen Tundra it's that way. No dipstick, drain/fill plug with the...

Does anybody know whether checking the transmission fluid levels is part of the pre-delivery checklist? Either at the port, dealership or elsewhere.
