    I have one of the last 2017 SR5's made at the factory before they switched the line.

    I am just an average user. I see threads on here about TSB's that should be applied. How do I see if they have already been applied since I was one of the last?

    I know the truck shifting sucks. But I am coming from my 06 Prius so I have nothing to compare.

    My location is Cleveland OH.

    Tsb’s Only apply to issues you are having, that may resolve an issue with your concern. If you have no issues than no TSB would apply. They are simply service bullitens for technicians working on the vehicle. Not some type of update or recall like most people assume

    Yes the average owner doesn't even get wind of most tsb's, we are fortunate enough to have access to it.

    Should I ask the dealer if all these have been applied?

    I don’t think you understand. If and only if you feel your truck has a problem, or you have a concern, take it to the dealer. They will look at the truck, verify the concern and apply any TSB’s they feel might render the issue

    Absolutely not. A TSB is there to help the techs quickly pinpoint known common issues so time isn't wasted.

    Not unless you have a specific problem, say your truck made a noise, you would go to the Dealer and tell them about that noise and if the tech finds a TSB for that noise he would follow the TSB to fix it.
