    You may have seen this but if you're curious about specific features on a particular Taco plug the VIN into this site:

    https://www.toyota.com/owners/my-vehicle/vehicle-specification

    On the Toyota website you can also download a pdf of standard/optional features for a given model/year. Don't have the exact link but you can play around & find it. You can also view dealers by state & links to their websites. The Toyota website sucks; if they built vehicles like they built the website I'd be driving a Ford myself.

    True, though the issue I mostly have is their deception and lies about taking care of warranty work, at the dealers and the main office both.

    150K..I saw that thread

    Why wait, mine has a pair of 12s

    And subwoofer or no subwoofer, having a larger space behind the backseat would be really beneficial to me; My truck is not comfortable for two people to take a long roadtrip in unless the luggage goes in the bed!

    I definitely use my 4x4 here. Most roads are well paved. But, when you go off the main roads they can get pretty difficult for a 2wd vehicle.

    You can do it. But duties are high. These are the duties based on the value of the vehicle as determined by Costa Rica. Not the value in Canada or the U.S

    • Vehicles less than three years old - 52.29 percent.
    • Vehicles four to five years old - 63.91 percent.
    • Vehicles six years or older - 79.03 percent

    @ColoradoTJ

    @Taco critter

    So, I am a member of this support group on Facebook for adults with autism...

    I don't think I'm gonna be a member much longer; Why?

    I have talked in great detail in this very thread about how I hate wearing a mask for long periods of time because of sensory issues.

    This autism support group will not allow members to just post, and everything has to be approved by the admins. My post was declined, and after reaching out to the admins just now I have been told that it was declined because "it causes fights". I said nothing anti-mask or pro-mask; I just seeking support on how to deal with my sensory issues that arise from wearing a mask for a long period of time.

    I am not going to get into full detail about all of my grievances with this FB group, but one noteworthy gripe I have is that it refuses to acknowledge Aspergers as it's down diagnoses since all autism spectrum disorders were lumped together in the DSM5.

    Anyway, I am messaging with one the admins now and it is going well, but I have not been all that satisfied with the group because they are short staffed and have to micromanage it as a result.

    The woman who admins the group is being very nice, but they can't continually police every post so they just decline all posts with that subject matter nowadays...

    While I do have a Facebook page, I never use it. I have 1 one friend on there. And that’s only because it’s an inside joke.

    I only created an account for Market Place. And I sold the item local by word of mouth before listing it on Market Place.

    I don’t care what anyone else is doing, and the one that care what I’m doing, call me. And those that have my number are few and far between. My phone lives on “Don’t no disturb” more than it does anything else.

    I’m betting you don’t NEED it. :fistbump:

    I am on Facebook because my family and friends are, and there's a group called "Rusting and Running Rides" where I am a bit of a celebrity due to the vehicle photos I post; If I wasn't so beloved on RRR, I would have likely backed up the now nearly 14 years worth of photos and deactivated my account by now...

    It’s a play ground for bigots and breading ground for jealousy. Best suited for those that like to compare their well being with what they “think” others are.

    Don’t get me wrong, not everyone on there is that way. But I’ve had more family and friends get worked up over what was said or done on Facebook.

    If you think what was said on Facebook is bad, you won’t believe what was said or done OFF Facebook. :rofl:

    How is that any different from here? There are things that are not allowed to be discussed on this forum. If everyone on here started arguing about how they felt about mask’s I’m sure it would make the list to.

    It was about how to deal with sensory issues and nothing more, not about how one actually feels about masks; This is a thread that's partially about autism spectrum disorders, and I have a hard time wearing a mask for long periods of time because of sensory issues that come with having Aspergers Syndrome.
