    General questions about my 2019 TRD off road.
    Is it my imagination or is my truck pulling to the right? Any way to tell before taking it to a place and getting an alignment which of course they will tell me I need because they're in the business of making money.
    Second issue is a picture of the window when I hit the auto down button it halts once in a blue moon at that position, has anybody ever had this occur?
    Last item is my lighting, when I engage the high beams, the fog lights shut off. Is there a hack to keep them on as well as the high beams?
    Thanking all you experts in advance.

    And the fog lights do shut off, the point is I want to keep them both on.
    When I'm in the middle of nowhere and there's no lights I want everything on so I have daylight in front of me.

    Why would you use your high beams with the fogs?

    If only Karnak was my mechanic...
    Also I'm not going to blind Captain Kirk but I want to blind the trees in front of me when I'm off-roading.

    If you drive on a flat level surface, let go of the wheel, and the truck steers to one side or the other, that is what is called pulling. It can a result of alignment, tires, suspension component wear, or other things, but is usually caused by alignment.

    The window behavior is normal. You can roll down the window part way or all the way.

    I didn't know the fog lights turned off when the high beams are turned on, but that make sense to me because the high beams would defeat the purpose of the fog lights. Why do you want to use them together?

    Many vehicles will drift right due to a road crown which can be very slight. Also on rare occasions a tire can cause a pull. That's verifiable by swapping front tire positions.

    Yeah most of the roads are sort of banked I guess for drainage so I got to find a flat road to test that.
    As for the window when you push all the way down on the switch it should lower without stopping just the passenger side stops at that point which is weird to me.
    And as previously mentioned, I want to use the high beams and fogs pointing forward to give daylight ahead when I'm in the middle of nowhere.

    I had another car that the windows would stop halfway down sometimes. It ended up being what the other person posted. You just need to clean the track that the window rides in. No need to remove the door panel or anything like that, just clean the part where the window rides up and down in.

    1. Getting the Alignment checked is free do that first.
    2. The window does have a stop feature so you can set it to the exact position you want it down at. Press it once quick it should go down all the way and press again to stop but a longer hold the auto down feature gets canceled and it stops where you let go.
    3. That is a safety feature now a days, there is mods you can do to change it so that highs and fogs are on all the time. I was just looking at one myself for SnGs but you have to do some wiring and adding a switch which to me is overrated.

    Per regulations, high beams and fog lights CANNOT be turned on at the same time. If you want to accomplish this then you'd have to run a switch for the foglights independently.

    Some states have law that says you have to turn off fogs when high beams on. You might be able to wire your way around that .
