Look up the lightbulb hack. You use a different size bulb and adjust it a little with a dremel. They make a world of difference.

False. It was not all around the country, and it wasn't something wrong with Tesla's. There were other types of EV's involved. Chicago had a charging station issue that left 2 or 3 dozen cars unable to charge. News outlets blew it out of proportion...as usual. I own a model Y in Minnesota...

I don't drive on mountains myself living in MN...but to me it looks like that 4R should be able to drive out of that. What's making it 'stuck'?

You can get techstream software and a ODB/USB connector on Amazon for like $40 and you can get a new key on Ebay for around $100. I did it about 5 years ago and it was easy peasy. Amazon.com

I sold my last 2011 Limited with 160k, no issues with the XREAS. My 2016 Limited now has 85k, also no issues.

That's like really really really really ugly.

I have been debating moving up to a GX for a little more towing power. I agree having to use Premium isn't ideal, but I spend about $3000 in gas a year. What's premium...20% more? So it's only $600 more a year. I can handle that for a nicer, smoother, stronger engine.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just found a deal through here and saved quite a bit. Participating Southeast Toyota Dealerships: Genuine Toyota Parts: Not only did they have the lowest prices, but free shipping on top of that.

It's time for me to replace brakes on my 2016 Limited. Anyone know where the best (cheapest) place is to buy OEM brakes and rotors these days?

Where are you getting those prices from? Everything I've seen hasn't been that high. Here is one quote about the SR5 price. Are there $17k worth of options you can add on? "For example, a 2022 Tundra SR5 CrewMax 4x4 with 5.5-foot bed (model code 8361) has a factory MSRP of $45,805. In 2021...

One factor is probably that more people are buying new instead of used when looking for a new car, since used has such crazy high prices right now.

My main complaint about my '16 is the road/wind noise, and I have a stock Limited. I don't remember it being that bad on my '11 Limited. I'm thinking about switching it up for a GX as the ones I have test drove before were much more quiet.

WTB: passenger side mirror A branch fell from my big oak and smashed my passenger side mirror. Anyone have one laying around after an upgrade that that’d be willing to sell? I just need the mirror. The casing and everything else snapped back into place. *** CajunMikeR generously sent me...

My torque converter in my 2011 started going out at 155k. Dealer said I needed a new one at around $3500 cost. I found other users who solved the issue with a fluid exchange so I paid $300 for the dealer to do that. It solved my issue. I'll now be doing a fluid exchange in my 2016 when I...

Am I correct in seeing that no 2016's are on the recall list?
