Do small mods void warranty? Trd skid plate, fogs, headlights, raptor lights etc?

Remember that the dealer isn’t the one making the final call on warranty claims, that is the OEM. The dealer may push back on doing work that could have the potential to be rejected because there is risk involved when it comes down to payment on the work done.

The dealer has a lot of pull. But in the end you are correct. I keep my vehicles 99% stock for this reason. Just experience.

Toyota newbie here, other than the drivetrain, when does the warranty expire? 3 yr / 36,000?

Not trying to argue, just providing perspective from someone who has managed a Toyota dealership for 7 years. We can advocate, and there are many elements of goodwill that we can advocate for, but the decision still rests solely on the OEM.

Not as much as you'd think, it kinda comes down to politics, i.e. the dealer, their standing with Toyota, the FTS, DSPM, how many Goodwill claims they filed this year, and even the region; at the end of the day Toyota's warranty claims department and its associates make the final call. Sometimes a dealer can get some wiggle room, but it's not at all a consistent guarantee or reliable.

3yr/36k is bumper to bumper, other warranty i.e. drivetrain, SRS system, etc is detailed in your warranty and maintenance guide that came with the vehicle, should be with the owners manual.

You definitely know more than I do then. (No sarcasm). I had one experience where the service advisor said no. I wrote the owner of he dealership and explained the situation. Problem was solved the next day. It was super cool, and I try and use that dealership as often as I can.

You are probably correct. Thankfully, I have had only one experience like this…..and it was with an FRS, which is pretty much all Subaru
