I was doing wheel research prior to launch of 6th gen and if i remember correctly : - Bolt pattern is still the same. - center bore is smaller on new TNGA platform, something like 95mm vs older 106 (goes way back to 1st gen 4R) : this means you can fit older wheels (not accounting for offset...

Yeah "Normal".... dealers..... Let us know how that goes and hope it helps in your case. I 've been dancing with the idea, but really do not want to waste my time at the dealer for the squeal to come back after all as others have experienced.... I've exhausted all my Toyota care visits and...

I just went for a ride and tried it at destination and back, I think it happened as well. It's so darn windy today that it's hard to hear your own thoughts... nevertheless I think i did notice something there after a while sitting there. As you mention @JimmyDean it well could be the grilled...

Understood. I'll give it a try today and report back.

Interesting that it is coming from the front. i actually parked this morning and sat there for a minute or so and nothing. This is before reading this thread and was not paying attention, but it sounds like it's a noticeable thing. Does it happen every time under the circumstances you describe...

Agree with that.

Yes that is definitely not the parking brake. i will keep an ear out for mine and se if I hear anything.

Mine kicks in right as you turn the car off and sound more like a "futuristic whirl" sound. I can barely hear it when door is closed, but i catch it sometimes if turn the car off as I'm opening the door.

Not sure if it is on my end, but I'm having a hard time hearing anything on the clip. I'm at 25k and never noticed a clunk sound before while parked, Just the loud EVAP chirp after a few minutes parked.

Did a 3 hour Road trip over the weekend one way. East to west : head wind... 20.6 @65-70mph West to east : cross wind... 21.5 @65-70mph The heat wave brough some serious SW winds!

8/10 times no matter when or where I go road trip wise, long or short, it's against the wind... The wind switches on the next day too sometimes! :LOL::LOL:

Nice photos!! White sands!? Love the Purple!

Tire rotation

Nice!! It should improve. I run 87 top tier and I average 20.5-21 normally. I've had many tanks in the 22's. All mix driving. Honestly I feel like in long road trips is no better than cruising in town, but in this part of Texas is ALWAYS windy ! I noticed the other day that temps in 75-80 are...

Well that answers the 17 mpg there. To initial dilemma : I ended up w/ 4r TH and for that $$ could have gotten into a base LC 250. Besides the looks, and I like both just as much in different ways, I would say the most important difference would be the interior cabin feel. I did not drive an...
