    Hello,

    If I buy a 2016 Tacoma what should I have the dealer do before paying them a penny? I've been reading these threads/post and see that there is a TSB out there for shifting enhancement. Also seen posts on how some Tacoma owners have low transmission fluid. What else should I ask for them to check before giving them my hard earn money?

    I believe they should fix all of this before I take it off their lot if I plan to do so.

    Thanks

    Take it for test drive on highway. Turn off air and radio. Listen for a whirring/howling "wooooooo" noise coming from rear end of vehicle when you feather throttle between 55 to 65mph. If it makes this noise beware. Already had one rear differential replaced due to "premature wear" and now my 2nd diff is making this noise. Toyota has no fix for this but "supposedly" they are aware of the issue. This is affecting many members at this time
