Wow, viscosity almost in the 0w16 range… and only 1300 miles

It's normal. Supposedly, the first position is an "aerodynamic sweet-spot" to eliminate air buffeting. Hit it again and it opens all the way. Same on mine, and I imagine all of them

wow...trash color again! first it was heritage blue and everest. Now, it's this disgusting spicy mustard from the local chinese restaurant... whoever decides the color change must be colorblind

ours has the sunroof because the wife wanted it. Otherwise, I'd be in the same boat as you. At 6'4, my head just barely clears the roof by maybe half an inch-ish... Hopefully they stick to the agreed upon terms, but don't hold your breath. Discounting the trade is absolutely a trick they'll try.

Yes, mpg gets better when you avoid speeds above 65. We all know that. I think the issue with going 65 on highways is that's it's almost always 70+, which essentially turns you into the guy that's holding everyone up lol. Perfectly fine as long as you're in the slow lane though!

If the dealer is "typical", you can absolutely expect a bait and switch or additional accessories added before you arrive to the dealership. They'll then say, "It's already on the vehicle sir. We can't take it off". If not, you found an honest dealer/unicorn. We drove ours home from San...

A 0w20 has a HTHS of roughly 2.6. You’ll want something a bit stronger than that to provide turbo protection. You can use 0w20, 0w30, 5w30 and 10w30. I use ESP 5w30 with a HTHS of 3.5

Literally nobody cares about prius efficiency with these… if they did, they should have purchased a prius

There are a few in houston, but they have the floor mats, cargo cover, cargo holder things etc. that’s what I meant regarding bs accessories.

It’s not the color. It’s the options, specifically the sunroof and additional bs accessories. Everest is everywhere.

Good luck finding one where the dealer doesn't add all the BS accessories to drive the price up...

Eliminating CAFE regulations so we can have a v6 option. Move the 4wd selector knob somewhere your thigh won't contact it accidentally. Cut $10k off the top and reduce the amount of safety sally bs. More headroom for people gifted with height. Flat folding second row. Better exterior color...

have to expect the windshield will need to be replaced aventually. Here in Houston, tinted windshields are everywhere. Sure they're highly illegal, but the cops don't seem to care, even when you can tell every window is 5%...

chasing mpg but moving from a 6th gen to a 5th gen seems... unrealistic. Unless, the 5th gen sits forever and gathers dust while the beater super uber mpg queen takes the brunt of the travel duties. Still, sounds like a bad deal. Keep the 6th gen, get a super cheap beater with relatively good...

you're dumping the 6th gen for a 5th gen + super/awesome/hybrid/unobtanium/ultra efficient commuter? Won't the total cost of the commuter + 5th gen wipe out any difference from the 6th gen? The 5th is gonna get way worse mgp than the 6th. The commuter will help, but enough to offset the...

increasing HP does not necessarily increase or maintain system longevity though. Chasing power can indirectly affect engine health. I'm not sold on the SXTH inter-cooler design with regard to flow numbers and pressure drop. changing from the crappy 0w20 water to a more robust oil, better HTHS...

You'll be lucky to stay in viscosity at 5k oci's on 0w20...

You're expecting way too much common sense there man...

A simple search on the Toyota site shows 5 Limited models under 60k...

And yet, they still didn't take the time to verify international manuals to see if Toyota spec'd alternative viscosities as acceptable...which they did.
