    Stock and loving it
    I get this. It only happens when I put it into gear to go up the hill and I'm not completely stopped going down the hill. It thinks it's rolling the wrong way and it's hits the throttle kill to keep it from going up the hill after it was put in gear while rolling down the hill

    Push into neutral and come to a stop. Put it back in gear while not moving and it will go up the hill under power.

    It also happens in reverse if you are trying to back up a hill

    You also need to drive it for a few minutes after you reset it before the numbers pop back up.

    Just an FYI there is a "Toyota owners" app. After you enter your VIN it has TSBs, recalls, all manuals, service history.

    Something cool I noticed. If you walk up to the car at night, but don't grab the door handle, when it senses the key, the inside lights come on.

    Not sure, you can't really tell if the lights come on during the day.

    Notice the clip on the backside of the visor.
    ? Good place to put the parking stub from time charged parking lots. Also note the the visor can be slid back when un hooked and move to the side window.

    To make it easier to check inside your truck to see if there is a murderer waiting to kill you. They actually call it the murder reduction feature.
