    Yeah that’s what I meant


    Although if I go by my sticker from the one time I took it to the dealer after buying it (only because it was free) the sticker they put on it says 5W-20 and I’ve always wondered if they just don’t read the oil cap or what? I’ve done it myself since then.

    Did we talk about them before? I did with someone. They’re freaking sweet cars. Same thing as my wife’s 5 door Impreza but with more ground clearance. Does it have the 2.0 liter engine?

    Well my legacy has the 2.4 so I was curious which one that has. It gets good mileage but it’s like a little sewing machine. You have to put your foot in it to go anywhere.

    If I put my foot down my taco isn’t going anywhere any faster. This thing is such a pig, but it’ll get me there!

    I downloaded a different app (apple user here) but thought I’d try the experiment. I held my phone with microphone facing the truck and held it about 8” away from the Toyota emblem on the grille. I averaged about 74-75

    I've never had an issue with mine being touchy the video I shared of the jeep coming down the hill I slid more than him and it never actuated. I have to really hammer on the brakes and skid hard and be at a min of like 15 mph for it to actuate.

    I've never had a problem with mine either until this last trip but boy was it a problem. It's when I was attempting to climb this hill but couldn't make it. It kicked in a few times and I abruptly slid backwards with no control. It was very scary and I never want to experience it again.

    Even when I had my tires spinning like crazy to get up a hill then stood on the brake mine never actuated. I am going to upgrade the brakes though there is a lot to be desired in braking power with the truck and I can't imagine what it'll be like with dirty7s

    Yeah this was first time I've had it kick in, so it's not a common occurrence but like I said I just don't want to have it happen again. . I was 1st gear pinned, so maybe 13 mph with wheels spinning like crazy, plus the hill was stupid slick. I couldn't even walk up it at first. I just started sliding down like I was skiing. I've been wanted to do the mod anyways, so this was good motivation.
