    are you going into this test drive with good knowledge of all the hi-tech gizmos?
    the test drive of the 'o19 Corolla hatchback I felt like a dumass not knowing where all the buttons, onboard whatnots, dashboard,instrument panel cluttered with #s everywhere
    i was trying to keep my eyes on the damned road shifting gears
    definitely am going to need several more test drives to make educated decision!
    wish they had some USED Corolla hatchback on the lot to test drive more, did not like putting the miles on a new car (only had about 30 when I first started it up)

    The transmission is gonna be looking for gears, its really noticeable. Make sure your friend cruises on the freeway with it. Anytime you want to give it some gas after coasting it drops down 2 gears, kinda annoying but I could get over it. Also the tech in the TRD sport we had was great. The truck really looks out for your safety.

    I rented a 2019 TRD Sport and noticed the same thing, it's constantly searching for gears and downshifts at minimal acceleration. It startled me the the first time the truck braked on it's own while in cruise control, but it's pretty cool how it will maintain a following distance. Overall I think they're really nice trucks, and I wouldn't by an automatic personally so getting the manual solves the transmission shifting issue.

    LG fridges are nice when they work, but the compressors are known to go out. If you dont have insurance go directly through LG if you have a issue.

    did a sensor trip on you and start limping along at 5mph? I would be so upset if that happened...

    once i figure out how to tell which vehicles have this feature and that I have a game plan in mind if you can imagine :devil:
    i can tell i will have some fun with it...

    The sealed system should be covered for 5 years and compressor covered for 10 years

    I liked the comfort level of the 4runner better, but the tech in the taco blows it away. I hear the 2020 T4R's are getting a similar tech package though, so if waiting is an option...
