just like badtraindriver said. Also, the main reason I do this is I the tires should be within a certain tread depth of one another, especially on the same axle or in AWD/4WD use otherwise you risk addition stress on drivetrain components. If I’m 75% through the usable life of my tires and get a...
I put a screen protector on my gauge cluster (Screen Protech as well) and it was way easier than I thought.
Why put one here? No I don’t touch my gauge cluster either, but it does get dust on it. And I didn’t want to scratch the cheap lens when getting the dust off. Now I don’t have to worry...
I had this exact noise. I could feel it tapping in my left foot even. I looked around, found absolutely nothing that I could identify to cause it. After weather warmed and I got a good under spray/car wash, the noise has gone away. I don’t know if that was purely coincidental or not. But it’s gone.
I live in Michigan. I’ve got a 2025 Trailhunter (part-time 4WD). This year so far for us has been pretty mixed winter weather conditions. The tires seem to do really really well in snow on the Trailhunter - I can’t speak for the other trims. But the traction control system is also really quite...
With all of the sensors and safety features they put in all of the trims, I’m surprised they skipped on rain sensing wipers (seriously, it’ll display speed limit signs, stop signs, pedestrian crossing signs, but no rain sensing wipers). I’ve been living with them for the better part of 10 years...
3400 miles in Michigan, I’ve heard the brakes squeal in reverse 3 times. Twice when backing out of my driveway in the morning, once after driving and then backing up. Never heard it backing out of a parking spot though, so it is very intermittent for mine. It really doesn’t seem bad, I would’ve...
Passenger side of the infotainment screen right at the top. I read that this does allow wired car play, so hopefully that’ll help in the meantime.
Also, make sure both your phone and vehicle are up to date on their software. Most of the issues with connectivity that were present early on were...
Out of curiosity as I haven’t tried it, have you tried the USB port on the back of the infotainment screen to see if that allows wired CarPlay?
3400 miles and I haven’t had any issues with Car Play. iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I have used it without issue (aside from the app logging me out once while I was out for some reason. Logged back in and worked fine, didn't need to set up digital key again.)
I take it you did the bluetooth key download that the app prompts you to?
Correct, but the factory tires are not directional. I just don’t know why Toyota recommends the way they do, when it will wear one side significantly more than the other.
I plan on rotating my spare tire in when I do tire rotations on my Trailhunter, every 5k miles. When looking through the owners manual, however, it indicates to perform a 5-tire rotation, but keep the spare continuously on the passenger side of the vehicle, not cross-rotating any of the tires at...
I’m also curious, are you talking about the power liftgate itself (as in you have a manual liftgate with gas struts) or the hands-free foot-kick functionality?
Either way if that was THE deciding factor on stepping up to that trim, I would’ve verified its existence on the vehicle before signing...
“Cargo lock” does not adjust the height. While you can adjust the opening height, the “cargo lock” button simply locks the doors after closing the cargo door. The other one without the lock icon just closes it.
the “rear” icon you’re asking about indicates which belts are buckled or unbuckled...
I assume you’re referring to the grab handle above the driver seat on the ceiling? Trailhunter has this as well. Why Toyota did not add one to the driver side on the A-pillar like the passenger side I don’t understand.
I actually found the factory wipers to be pretty nice. Quiet, clean very...
