    While your points are valid they are falling on def ears.. This forum is too complicated and not laid out well. So no one actually reads anything and makes worthwhile posts. Just a bunch of keyboard vomit. It's ok I am from a generation that doesn't care and thinks that's fine. Spoon feed me, but make sure it's the things that I want to be fed and nothing more. Or I will make my daddy come talk to you.

    I have sensitive eyes. Have film on my windshield for it too. Still not a feature I’ve ever thought should exist but hey.

    Maybe back in the 60s before LED lighting the dash was too bright.

    I'm glad the designers design cars and not you.

    Hey don’t say that. If I was designing the Tacoma it would come with heated leather seats, power seats, heated steering wheel, vinyl floors, power rear window, 7-8 speed transmission, things that serve a purpose ;)


    I’d also love to pair up with Cummins for a diesel option...

    Also would hire @ChadsPride to approve of everything before being sold

    I have no use for those items and don't comprehend why anyone else would :p
    If you could do that then you'd have a lot of guys on your D

    Well, now you know! :D

    Bottom line: Just glad it was your dimmer switch turned down, and not an actual electrical problem.:thumbsup:


    Speaking of, what's up with the power running board?

    I’m happy too. I’ve put over a grand in repairs in this truck the last 60 days and I didnt want to have one more thing go wrong.

    I’m not sure whats up with the boards, I think the motor is failing. I will look at them over the weekend. I might cut them off. They are stupid because truck is stock height...
    Previous owner blew the coin on them, not me. So no skin off my nose to trash em.

    The only positive to them is kids get super impressed by them. It blows my nephews mind, especially because they light up. He also loves that it looks like a storm trooper

    Searched 2015 Tacoma Owners Manual for "dimmer switch". No hits. I guess it's all in the vernacular. Page 146 - bottom of page. Also mentioned on Page 19.

    If you need to read the owner's manual to find where the oil pan is, maybe you should just let the dealer work on it:rolleyes:
