I swear, I think the weather forcasters were able to get as close with their "guesses" BEFORE this computer age!

I'd like to know what IDIOT came up with the idea of lighting up the dash with a turn of the ignition key. Thats part of the "no lights on when they should be " issue ,in my opinion. We should need to turn lights ON if we want the dash lit up! Our vehicles get "smarter" every year,guess what...

Happened to me a couple times in the year I've had it. Thought maybe it was me the first time but this past time I counted the 'clicks' from park.It'll be gone by October anyway,trading for a Tundra.Might be a line pressure issue with the tranny,just a guess. 14000 miles.

I'm 5'10" and have to sit with my seat adjusted to the floor.No headroom and sorry pedal placement-angle are only two of the reasons I'm waiting on a new Tundra.

Computer shows 22.8 on my 08 SE 4X4. I'm on cruise control most of my drive though, speeds are from 50 to 60 MPH for my 40 mile drive to work.Got a couple traffic lights that catch me sometimes.I'm trading it pretty soon,gonna get back into a pickup where I should never have left:cursin:now I...

Don't know which of these is more important to me but they're all 'interior' related.Headroom is about the same as my Dad's '71 Impala was. Had to re-design the map-lights so they come on as the doors open...like 95% of the other vehicles on the road! Pedal placement or floor shape is probably...

My 08 SE shows 22.7 on the computer, galons verses miles driven math shows 20-21 mpgs.I'm using cruise control more than I ever have though.The uncomfortable gas pedal angle (floor shape) is getting to me. My right foot and leg were busted up when I was a kid, so it's not all Toyota's fault.This...

That, is one SWEET ride;):

I sure like the LTs over P-rated. Biggest reason for me is the extra tread-depth you get with the LTs. I like the C-rated LTs for our 4Rs,you'll get an extra 3-4/32nds of tread-depth with the C-rated tire.If I still have my 4R come Winter, I'll look into the Wrangler ATS in C load range,for the...

Only the "auto" switch is lit, no homelink buttons are lighted,we have to re-design the maplights to get 'em to come on when door is opened,really funky angle on gas pedal , NO headroom.Awkward closing rear hatch, Thought I'd be more impressed than I am. It'll be gone soon.

In my opinion this "dash light on all the time" is NOT condusive to safety. The reason being, too many drivers at it is don't think to use their lights when they should.With "daytime running lights taking the place of turning on a light switch...no TAIL-LIGHTS with daytime running lights! Now...

Just a 'heads up' for everybody. I've been hearing some additional wind noise for a while. After looking in all the normal places I found the rear section of sunroof molding tucked down inside itself:confused: What threw me (not tough to do:p ) was it looked so uniform I thought I'd lost...

Wife has 'em on her 04 Pilot, they have 30,000 miles on them and look like they'll go another 20-30,000. Wet traction is fine as is braking and dry road driving. Noise is really nothing and we'd know because Hondas ain't quiet! Snow traction doesn't "seem" as good as her Revos, but there hasn't...

September will be the second trip to Canada for our 08 SE. This time I'll stay in cruise control all I can (4th gear) Last year I didn't have the seat- to - peddal verses headroom (lack there of) figured out. Gotta destoyed ankle from my stupid kid days and the peddal placement kills me after a...

I've not seen the AT Extreme yet but the Wrangler ATS sure looks good for my use. I'll go with the LT in C rating in 265-70-17.I'm impressed by the 16-17/32nds of tread depth on the ATS.Gonna find some pictures and maybe a write-up of the Wrangler AT Extreme though ;):
