    2020 Auto Offroad DCSB
    Ugh, had a winded intro going and clicked upload image only for my post to not save. Anyway, I will keep it short to just a few questions/concerns regarding our auto 2020 offroad DCSB.

    Is there a way to adjust the stiffness of the pedal? Both gas and brake pedals are the firmest I have ever driven.

    We test drove the same model at our local dealership and the pedal was no where near as hard to press in then the one we ended up purchasing out of state. Before anyone says don't skip leg day. More for my wife as she is a tiny one.

    Are the pop and lock kits compatible with 2020 that have the bed light kit installed from the factory?

    I read that the 2020 bed light kit harness may interfere with the auto tail gate lock harness.

    Has one else experienced abysmal mpg?

    I know most don't get the rated mpg, but we are now dipping under 15 mpg all city. I can achieve close 16 when I drive and my wife blames flooring it everywhere because she is use to anemic 4 cyl sedans. I'm hoping after a tonneau cover install and the engine breaks in. We can get close to at least 17. My 10 yr old souped up 6 banger coupe gets 19 easily with me hooning it around although it is much lighter and tuned.

    Welcome to TW! The dealership might be able to adjust the pedal for you.

    Probably needs to break in a little. Tonneau covers do help I believe.

    Thanks Everyone.

    I will check into it. Just seemed strange. I do agree with my wife though. Driven plenty of different vehicles ranging from work trucks to sports cars and our Tacoma definitely has the hardest pedal I ever felt.

    Just installed one last Saturday. We did manage 18 mpg when we hit our local trails. Doing about 15-25 mph the entire time though, haha. Had our son with us and didn't want to rock him around to much. NJ doesn't offer anything too challenging, but plenty of ruts that get bouncy.
