    I also got free Toyota Care with my 2015, but they didn't change my oil at 5k miles. They checked the fluids, rotated tires, etc. but told me my truck used synthetic so only get oil changed every 10k miles. Currently have around 5200 miles on it.

    Ya that bubble popped up when I test fit it. Hit it with the heat gun 2 more times to double check it after that and it tightened right up. Its not hard just time consuming and takes a steady hand thats it. Plus its no risk... Dont like it? peel it right off

    do i need to pop off the whole door panels to get the window/locks control plastic frame off? i'm not against having to do it, but would prefer not to if i can avoid it.

    Nope, those puppies pop right off. I covered a thin flat head with a shirt and pulled up from the middle and the front

    Both you guys need to pay attention to your manuals, and quit listening to uninformed salespeople/service writers!
    Go get your oil changed!

    IIRC, the all weather flooring was 300-400. Someone mentioned it in another thread but don't remember if it was access or double cab.

    Just run her over to the manual car wash and lay the pressure washer to it. It'll peel right off.

    I already had the old one, but bought this one in case there were any changes. They changed the lighting on the pictures. That's it as far as I can tell. they're all the same pictures, just edited for better lighting. The rest of the book seems to be identical word for word. I guess I have a truck copy and a home copy.

    It's funny where they discuss auto LSD - they confuse it with the locking diff feature on the TRD OR.

    Installed my Ram Mount thanks to the DIY on this forum. It is by far my favorite mod to date since I spend nearly 30 hours a week in my truck driving from jobsite to jobsite.
