Dealer "No Lifts on 2018"

Flawless logic.

 

You all have valid points on the mod part. My thing is the absolute potential for someone to get royally fucked over if shit gets sideways. The way our .gov and everyone else is about "safety" these days, I would not want to be the poor bastard in front of a judge or jury trying to justify my actions. Not saying it's wrong, just that I like my checking account and my freedom.

 

I had a long talk with my local dealer about lifting and TSS. They put a ton of lifts on at the dealership. Needless to say they aren't happy about it..
Sure you can try and remount the sensor, turn it off, etc. but Toyota corporate gave them a stern letter stating if they lifted any 18's full liability will be on them. And they strongly advise against Doing it. Even to the extent that just larger tires will affect the system.
He thinks Toyota will eventually release a Techstream extension that will be able to "adjust" the TSS height... but who knows.

 

No one is asking the real question here, or addressing the biggest concern.... like......it’s the elephant in the room fellas......can I still do this????

Lawyers might.
All vehicles will have this by 2022.

 

*Dealer's logic.

 

If anything it will INCREASE sales. We live in an echo chamber here in TW. Contrary to what we might think, the majority of people who buy tacomas don't lift them or do CMCs trying to fit 285s or bigger tires. Most people buy stock and leave it stock. TSS will never go away.

 

Everyone ?
That is definitely false.
They might be able to comment on that but can't for obvious reasons.

 

Like TPMS? Tire Shops who do State Inspections won't mount tires missing sensors anymore where I live. That's why I use my garage those bisturds!
OP get the truck you want. 2018 or whatever & lift it like a boss

 

I'm putting my unlifted 2016 4x4 OR on the market.

 

well let us know what you get .

 

No lifts at all? What if you get bigger tires? That could affect the calibration right?

 

Yes. My local dealer said even larger tires will affect it. This is reduculous.. there will have to be some type of work around

 

Rest assured we will have a few guinea pigs to test this lift/TSS crap out soon and provide real-world results. I will be one of them in the next few months. It will be either proven to be no issue or we will find minor modifications to correct any minor issues. The world will not end and the earth will continue to rotate.

 

Or if all else fails, I will just turn this TSS sh!t off. Heh, problem SOLVED.

2018 NO LIFTS, Scary.... You better rush out and buy up the last of our 2017 stock.. 2018 rolls around, oh hey just kidding come trade in the 2017 you bought for a shiney new 2018. #profit

 

TSS BS LMA0!

 

Subaru has had their Eyesight technology for sometime - I've got to imagine it is even more advanced that Toyota's TSS (my wife's new Forester has it, and it's downright scary how advanced that stuff is). Hasn't stopped certain Subaru dealerships in various regions from selling lifted Subies out the door!
