SOLVED- Fix for streaks on windshield in the rain Hey everyone, even though I just traded in my very nice 2018 Off Road Premium after only eight months I felt the need to pop back over here and let you know how I solved an issue that made me a bit insane for a couple of weeks. I also had...

zw470, I sent you a PM. In case it doesn't work out with the dealer I have a two-month-old Superwhite ORP w/KDSS with 2K miles on it that I might let go. I'm in MD.

A six-week-old ORP and short trips in the MD suburbs is giving me... 17.5 mpg. And I'm not even driving it as hard as I usually drive because it is new.

Lifelong Maryland resident. Can confirm.

My wife had a Subaru with 3000 miles on it when I took it in for Dealer Service where we bought the car. I told them to put "Do Not Wash" on the service request (which they did). When it came back it had been washed... WITH A FREAKING BRUSH! The dealer had to have it detailed and polished three...

Could also be that the Super White has no clearcoat. It's a single-stage paint. Don't ask me why... I can't even find an answer on the net as to why.

You will miss it. I had a 3rd Gen Runner and a C-Class Mercedes. I drove the Runner most of the time but decided that I only wanted one car so I sold it and kept the Mercedes. I missed the Runner too much so I sold the Mercedes and bought a 5th gen. Now I miss the Mercedes. I think the key is...

Now that the Trail name is gone we just need one that reads ORP instead of TRD Off Road (premium).

Hmmm. I thought it sounded better through my phone app, glad it wasn't just me.

My problem with Sirius XM on the new Entune Premium system in my ORP is that it sounds like shit. (It does in my friends newer SR5 too). The stereo sounds fine with the radio and CD but the satellite radio is boomy and has muddy, over-boosted base. It's all but unlistenable. Not to thread jack...

I got my ORP in Maryland before they drilled for the front tag frame but all of the bumpers without frames have these little divots that Toyota puts to show where the plate frame screws go. So I said "screw it" and just put on the frame myself. I figured the plate might stop a parallel parking...

I wish I hadn't sold my sweet 3rd Gen to a good friend without putting a clause in the bill of sale stating he wouldn't paint the wheels black and make that classic looking truck look like every other 3rd Gen Bruh-truck.

Sounds good to me as long as it isn't a metallic white.

People like to bring up Chicago because it makes it sound like Obama is personally responsible for the murder rate. Maybe I'm just touchy because I'm from Baltimore and bummed out that Chicago steals our dangerous-city cred though it has less than half the murder rate.

No change is so much better than a change for the worse. It seems that the people that complain the most about the dated 5-speed transmission and 270hp are the auto blogs. Most of us are pretty happy with it overall.
