Thanks for the heads up. FYI, I just called the 888 number (8:55pm CST) and was able to snag a Monday afternoon appointment, in case you all don’t want to wait until morning. :thanks:

Well that one should sell for way below invoice.

Master reset Sorry if this is an obvious/dumb question (I searched the other threads mentioning a master reset and couldn't find a hard answer): Does doing this procedure wipe out the radio presets, navigation address book entries, etc.? Or just reset the settings/preferences to the defaults?

I didn't either, luckily. For Toyota of Dallas at least, it's only an issue with the black. He said gray was available for immediate delivery.

Have any of you guys tried Toyota of Dallas recently? I was able to add 4 flat black to my shopping cart on their website, but didn't go beyond that -- it's possible that at checkout it may result in the same dead ends you all are running into everywhere else. Edit: Never mind -- just called...

There are some of a blue and a black on page 30 (among others), both with gray wheels.

A few years ago a friend of mine was on a work assignment in London for a year and lived in Surrey. They went through this company -- they will even buy it back afterwards: yourexpatcar.com

Yep. Then it can double as a "105° heat index and oppressive" button when you need to vent it in August.

My first was about 19 yrs ago when I'd first moved to town, and still had my Toyota Celica's trunk full of stuff I hadn't unpacked yet. Heading to a property in a sketchy part of town and popped a tire on a pothole. Had to pull over and unload the entire trunk to get to the jack & spare, and...

Amen. At the very least, hopefully it will let you quickly air up a flat for long enough to get the truck off a busy highway/freeway to safely change the tire.

Has anyone ever tried one of these mail-in radio/nav repair places? I bookmarked a couple in case the nav unit on my 4th gen ever bit the dust. Example: Hi-Tech Electronic Services Still probably not cheap, but less than an OEM replacement. Good luck!

Beautiful photos!

That sounded pretty suspicious to me too. Even if theirs is actually a 2WD Premium that still seems kind of low.

I think the white with gray looks outstanding. mbash24's blue with gray had me second guessing my choice of black, but really there are a ton of combos which look great with those wheels.

What's hilarious is that the stockier one is described early on as being "somewhat of an off-road enthusiast". Their 5-minute KBB auto reviews are generally pretty good though -- nice production value and they incorporate a decent level of humor into each one.
