    Hello all. Just signed up and was directed here. I have been reading on here for a few months now. Just picked up my 2023 lunar rock Sport today.

    Coming from always having F 250's. A lot of firsts with this truck. This is my first small truck, first four door, first short bed (six foot), first automatic transmission, first six cylinder... really stepping out of my comfort zone you could say. But, don't need a full size anymore and have always liked Tacoma's since wheeling with friends in high school and college.

    Really liking it so far, well as much as you can after 9 miles! Drove it from the dealer to put studded snow tires on it, and was impressed how it handled in snow and ice afterwards. Couple inches of snow on the road, and with the studs I didn't need 4WD.

    I have been putting together a list of things to upgrade. Tacoma's seem to be the LEGO 's of trucks! Really looking forward to learning about and playing with this truck.

    Seriously impressed with how well this truck does in the snow and slick roads. Drove all over today in 2WD; I would have been in 4WD in my Super duty.

    Nope, no weight in the bed, just 265/70/17 Hankook Studded IPikes. This much snow from over night, and the same amount from yesterday is still on the roads. Oh, I am in Anchorage, Alaska, so this normal. I was questioning going to a small truck, not so much anymore.

    Dumb question, but when I open my door the inside lights don't come on. I REALLY like buttons so I am sure I pressed something, but can't figure out what I did. . Somewhat of a technology change from a 2004 model truck to a 2023 model so I am a little behind the power curve.

    Also, is it normal for the Toyota app to take six years between pressing the button to auto start and the truck actually starting?
