I bought mine in transit with whatever the dealer loaded on.I wasn't happy with 3rd row but at the time there were not many available and I figured I wouldn't use it anyway.
Never gave any thought to how much leg room is sacrificed in row two.
It is terrible. About 5 inches less than two row...
I received a lot of conflicting info on Toyota floor mats. They insisted I buy the kit with all three rows. They will never be used. I bought the car in transit as there were not many available.
Crazy money and completely useless..
I bought the two row mats they fit fine.
I could not get a...
what we did not get into but others may have covered is the economics of going to premium.
Where I am in New England the difference between the two blends is $0.90. It has been that way for a few years.
Interesting that as the regular has dropped a buck or so they have maintained the 90 cents...
Well I use regular in my 2025. The engineers at Toyota seem fine recommending that and I see no reason to go to a higher octane.
Another car I own with a 2.0 Turbo requires premium due to the higher performance design (like the Lexus). In that I use the premium. If I use regular the engine will...
As written earlier, the available energy in an equal volume of 87 octane vs 93 octane is pretty much the same. So you cannot get more power out of higher octane fuel.
The 2.4 L Toyota engine is similar to the 2.4 L Lexus but the Lexus is tuned differently. Yes the static compression ratios are...
It's the same guy that created the totally useless auto close/open rear hatch sensing. Try installing or removing the trailer ball or connecting the wiring harness. Effing hatch thinks you're carrying 50 bags of groceries, it beebs and swings open in your face.
Same thing happens if the hatch...
Usually the higher octane fuel allows for greater compression ratio - which may be buried somewhere in the engine specs. That in turn results in greater power.
The pinging sound is preignition (the lower grade fuel igniting before the plug fires). Newer engines can sense this and detune to...
There are some sealants and adhesives that produce pretty bad odors for a while. Used heavily in the hvac system. Not limited to Toyota.
As a side I have been using peppermint spray under the hood and around the spare tire area.
After maybe 3 weeks using it the mice that were crapping on the...
