    Nice trucks, but Maund sucks. Head south. It may say AutoNation Toyota on the sign, but it's still all the Champion Toyota people on the inside. Best dealership I've ever bought from.

    Owned a Subaru. Loved it dearly. Didn't get great gas mileage because they are designed to swallow fuel with lead foot drivers. Subaru is definitely not known for gas mileage... Congrats to you who has a lightly driven Subaru. Out...

    Protip: don't use flash in the snow.


    Thank you for the review! I'm very happy to see more 2.7 5spd owners joining the boards. I'll have mine delivered in another 3 weeks or so, can't wait!! I also come from the classic car world, obsessed with air-cooled porschies. The simple back-to-basics driving style is what suits me best. I actively prefer our build spec to the TRD versions without any hesitation.

    I hear that, simpler the better. I do wish the SRs could be speced with a rear locker though.

    Tundra's have the chirp as well. It drives me crazy in customers taco's as I drive on fan speed 1 or 2 in every manual AC vehicle.

    I don't think the fan is the same as the system has been redesigned. I also think the old fan was made by Delphi, which I hope Toyota never uses again.

    maybe this has already been talked about but i missed it. Can you put ur own logo on the audio screen as a sleep mode. I have seen people with a start up screen but say i don't touch my radio while driving can it go in sleep mode with a screen saver logo?

    I was reading deep into service info and I found that the 16 Tacoma has a PTC heater not unlike the hybrids and new corolla.

    What that is is a secondary heater beside the heater-core that assists in warming air to the driver.

    It uses 3 separate relays and only is on specific models. I'd assume only the dual climate auto models.

    Has anyone that came from a 2nd gen noticed it warms up quicker?

    I use the remote start and never get in the damned thing until its ran for 2-5 minutes.

    Yes, same method. Steps to take are in the owner's manual. I did mine in about a minute. There are postings about it in a lot of these threads, especially the "what have you done to your 3rd gen?" thread.

    About... A week and a half ago, I bought my first ever Tacoma - a TRD sport in inferno, V6, 6-spd manual. Apparently, based on the reactions here, I'm the devil incarnate.

    Oh well, at least that means I get the house of my choice, so I'll take some riverfront property on the styx.

    You're fine, don't worry about them. Their mommies never loved them. :D

    You've obviously been lurking to have to have learned all that. Welcome to TW anyway. :wave:

    So now that you've joined and made a first post, do you plan on providing pics? Hmmmm?!? :rolleyes:
