    Don't I recall you mentioning NOT to worry about the low tire pressure light?
    :rofl:
    Get a Taco and toss it in the bed, like me.

    The Indicator switch, people. C'mon. Focus! :D

    Yep, only 4 at a time, unless you have a 4th gen...

    I've done my 5 tire rotation once now and stopped by my buddy at Tires Plus for a quick reprogram. I'm thinking I may get a programming tool myself so I can handle it.

    Yes. The TPMS is on my spare because I got a gash in the tire. It didn't puncture, but I moved it to spare duty.

    I'm also accustomed to ignoring the light. Because my summer tires don't have sensors.

    I never had no TPMS going up and neither did your daddy or your granddaddy or his granddaddy. Newfangled kids and their computers in their tires.

    Next you all will want something silly like a phone in your car that doesn't need a cord. The audacity

    As an IT professional, maybe I'm biased but I like computers in some things. Your granddaddy didn't have teeth well guess what, my molars have 5G implanted by nanobots (or so I'm told). My newfangled wireless phone can show me boobies in 190 languages and someday VR will have braille so make that 191. I like TPMS because they show me tire pressure in real time which can sometimes help from becoming a Ford/Firestone disaster and because the further I can move away from having anything in common with a Ford all the better. Audacity, harumph! The future is now ye olde man! :rocket:

    To be fair, nobody in this forum should be running a twin beam front suspension. Lol

    I like having it because when I air down and I'm off road I could see my pressure and if one of them suddenly drops or disappears drastically I'll know that's the tire to check :bananadead:

    That is quite interesting. Frankly, KIA is a perfect company to shake up the midsize pickup market. Whereas other brands don't want to rock the boat and upset sales of full size trucks, KIA doesn't have one and they can really push the limits in their new offering. Great news because competition is needed else you're going to see prices on Tacomas go to the stratosphere if not pushed by their rivals.

    As long as those rivals don't enter the market with silly high prices like the gladiator did.

    I'd wager that there are more disasters from looking at titties (or anything) on the phone while driving than tire failures. Both of my grandfathers had most of theyier're teeth. (;) to @CygnusX191)
