    *3 Pics below from the rear diff. Front diff and Transfer case oil was not bad at all compared to rear diff.

    1st gear oil change was done after only about 250 miles (Free at the shop) (around 36,719 miles on the truck 10/28/20).

    2nd gear oil change done after around 4896 miles since the 1st oil change. (Around 41615 miles on the truck currently 9/27/20)

    Ok, stupid question perhaps. I looked over the thread and my question is about towing only. Completely stock 2020 OR, would either gears (4.88 or 5.29's) improve towing a trailer? Especially for uphills on pavement. Any help would be appreciated and thanks.

    If you are completely stock, and plan to stay mostly that way, do not get 5.29s, you will regret it. 4.88s would be fine and help towing(5.29s would help towing too, but suck when you're not).

    If you're at the stock tire size, you'd be aggressively over geared. I have 5.29s with skinny 33s and I feel slightly over geared.

    4.88 gears for 33" and smaller tires, 5.29 gears for 33" and larger tires.

    I have 5.29s. On 34 inch tires when I’m in 6th gear doing 75mph. I’m at 2800 rpm. 6spd manual.
    If I was on stock size tires it’d be closer to 31-3200 rpm

    This made me so excited to put mine in. Right now I do 75 at 3500 RPM because I'm in 4th gear!

    I have 5.29, 285/75/16 and may truck tops out at 85. Toyota thinks it’s because the radar is sending a speed to the computer that does not match wheel speed/rpm...I would like to fix it tho. Could get me in trouble trying to pass someone

    Not that “85mph” is what the Speedo says. Running the bigger tires my actual speed is more like 90. But the point is there is a governed speed to be aware of
