Yeah, it's a pretty impressive system. Prevented me from deer strikes a couple of times. I never thought of "that a*$hole with a beater behind you on the cell phone" issue. There would definitely be a collision because the truck stops ridiculously fast! However, as I recall pretty much as...

I came out to the garage once and it almost sounded like the rear driver side tire leaking air (2010 SR5). Read the manual and it's the fuel/ evap system doing a pressure check (or something - don't quote me on this!). It's normal and happens some number of hours after driving. I'm not sure...

Just took mine out to check. Filthy! Going to check out the local Part Source or Crappy Tire to see if they stock the Bosch. Awesome how easy it is to change out on our trucks.

I have a chocolate lab and a black leather interior, so the hair doesn't stick out as much as if it was white hair. I leave him in the back and don't fold down the seats. Every once in a while take out the power (carpet) head on our vacuum and get the hair (and dirt, etc.) out that way...

I experience something similar on my 2010 SR5. It happens when coasting or applying brake. Dealer said rotors are fine, so I'm wondering if it's a CV joint thing... Anyway, they said "this is normal." I guess I should just be happy they didn't recommend an expensive repair! :)

Great resolution! Enjoy the new rig. Nothing like a new T4R!

I worried about this sort of thing when getting the TSB performed, but have had mostly very good experience with my local dealership so went ahead (I paid 1/3, Dealership paid 1/3, Toyota paid 1/3). Had to make a bit of a stink as they never notified me about the TSB and when I found out about...

This was for a brand new truck? Trust a dealer to lose track of extra keys. Not sure if the coding being "out there" is a serious issue, unless there were any shady employees at the dealership with your address info! If you don't want to use this dealer anymore, take it to a different...

Yeah, I was really surprised the 5th gen had a fixed mast antenna. My 3rd gen had a power one, and most vehicles now have in glass or at least a smaller one. Had to add a stubby to my 5th...

It'd be awesome if they added LED tails to the 2014. I'd be first to order a set for my 2010!

Can't believe GM still hasn't figured out a better third row config on a $70k vehicle. Go figure that one out! They are so heavy and awkward to put in/ out and store.

Sorry, I responded about a different noise (the one that starts 6 hours after shutting it off). Duh!

Tried this the other night. Came to stop with brake, let go, and started to roll back then clack clack clack (slowed the roll) then the roll sped up and then another clack clack clack slowed the roll but didn't stop it. I'll have to try hard brake then let go, because the system doesn't work...

That's true, I live on a level lot. However, I have stopped at many red lights on hills (usually paved) and when I transition from brake to gas it will roll a bit with no HAC intervention. Perhaps if I delayed my transition from brake to gas it would intervene. I am going to find a steep hill...

Uh, I've had it on tons of hills. I don't live in the rockies or anything, but certainly not the prairies! I've been on dirt hills, gravel hills, paved hills, never had it happen. Maybe my truck is the one with the issue LOL!! BigredTEX mentioned it happens when you are rolling backwards and...
