What if I have a drivetrain issue that’s unrelated… don’t want to give Toyota a reason to claim warranty is voided…
had to take my TH in at 95 miles w a hybrid malfunction… not convinced it won’t come back…
I wish there was a way to change the hybrid logic… IMO, it should be charge on every brake, and help accelerate all the time, down to some battery percentage. I think there’s a lot of energy not being harnessed
K, got a set of four of the 7” wide steps. Glad I went wide. Overall I like them!
exactly what I was after for an easy to remove step option. They feel pricey for what they are though.
time will tell how they hold up… will not be worth it if they start degrading.
Do you all recommend running extra oil for off-roading, especially for steep angles? How much?
I have a new truck, and haven’t touched the oil so far
lol, nice music
It seems the alternator is only used with a hybrid malfunction… makes sense
(Side note: I’ve already had a hybrid malfunction on my 100mile TH… it did indeed hiccup and then start working again… not sure how much this played in)
The manual notes the hybrid system powers things entirely when in ACC/READY (Eg. For car camping). The engine will occasionally fire up to charge back up. But the manual also doesn’t seem to note the alternator
12/14v, 450A seems unlikely from an alternator…
No, I am specifically referring to the models with a physical alternator in addition to the hybrid:

Hi All,
Curious to learn for the trucks that are both hybrid and have an alternator... how does feeding the 12v bus work?
- Seems like the output regulators of the alternator and the hybrid bus would fight each other(?)
- Or are they used one at a time? How to know when?
Thanks!
I didn’t like the idea of throwing away my stock sliders. Just ordered a set of these!

I like that they snap on/off
