My thoughts after 125 miles

Thanks man!

Looks like aa standard sd card that you can get at Best Buy for $10...

unless it's more than 16Gb. It would cost more. Obviously it's the info inside that's worth the value.

Also glad to hear that the navigation is responsive. Other people have said so also.

 

Congrats on your new Taco........ I just ordered a 2016 trd loaded. This is my first heated seats. Can you tell me if it heats the back and the bottom if the seat? The dashboard display only shows the waves on the bottom and not the back also. I'm sure hoping its both.

 

How many more conclusions can you reach after a full tank of gas?

 

Ive got about 175 miles on mine now. I love the truck! There isnt any real power in low rpms, but it does run good and feels decent enough as the revs climb. It actually picks up pretty good at passing speeds too.

 

by harmonic do you mean knocking/pinging? If so thought Toyota would have fixed this already. My 2011 has this.

 

No, it's not a pinging or knocking sound. It's a whistling sound. My DCLB Sport has it as well.

 

OP, you said you are in PA. Where did you buy from?

 

No not knocking or pinging
This is the howling noise people are hearing

I still have 200 miles to go on my first tank. Short trips around town, and between home and work are getting me 18.7 MPG. There's alot of idling time playing with the custom settings, and its still breaking in, so I'm ok with it for now. Equal or better than the 4runner around town. I didnt think to look until last night, but there is a ridiculous amount of weights on the inside of the rims to balance the tires. Stock Toyo Open Country A30s.

Congrats on your order! This is my first with heated seats as well. Both bottom and back are heated and it feels great!! There are 3 levels of heat, I have been starting on "3" and moving down to "2" after a few minutes

I too have about a hundred miles on a new sport. Anybody else have a sunroof that rattles?
A few small things I really like over my previous Tacoma:
- lane change turn signal, tap the signal and it blinks 3 times
- bed lights
- black interior, I had 3 cars in a row with gray so it's nice to switch it up
- jbl sounds better to me, particularly the front tweeter placement
- navi unit is clean and has way more features than my 13

Gripes:
- less storage
- still no height adjust on seat

 

I haven't noticed any rattle in the sunroof. I did put it up/down and in/out just to make sure it works. I read in another forum there is an initialization procedure that may correct a rattle. The procedure is on page 152 in the PDF manual. I assume the hard copy would have the same numbering.

I didn't know about the lane change signal, thanks! I'm with ya on everything else.

I will say though, as miles go on, it starting to feel better. I'm getting used to the seat, and I don't notice the weak low end power as much. I'm either learning to give it more pedal, or it's learning my driving style. Maybe a little of both.

 

I agree, here! When I first drove the truck, it seemed hard to get it going from a stop. The throttle linkage seems to be much lighter after 1200 miles and the truck has plenty of oooomph and much quicker response. I spoke with one of the Master Mechanics at the dealer and he said that the ECU in these is a 'learning' module and needs several hundred miles to 'learn' before it works best. He also said that the pedal effort is quite high initially on many of the new ones coming in and they had to tell the sales people to mention this when delivering the vehicle as several of the first deliveries came back with a complaint about that and basically wasted the mechanics time when all was 'normal'.

 

No shit. Maybe we can get a final verdict on the long-term reliability of the 2016 after he reaches 500 miles?

 

Notice I haven't offered up and "final verdict" or "conclusion". Just my initial thoughts after the ride home from the dealership, which happened to be 125 miles. Reliability is the reason this is my 7th Toyota, 4 of them being Tacoma. So, no need to be a douche.

 

Touche'
Oh, and as Toyota reliability, yes that is my FJ40 in my Profile pic, and it is a 1968, and I have owned it since new, and yes, it runs like a jewel.

My other Toy, is my '02 Taco AC 4x4 SR5, 4cyl M/T. Still new (160K miles), but since I am a believer, and understand "break-in" concepts, I'm completely on line with getting a 2016. Cant wait to "learn" this new truck. I know its going to be good WITH TIME.
