    I equate it to doing a J turn. You just have to know when. I loved doing them in other people's cars (police department issued). But can't say I will do that in my own.

    Ha, this was the same as the sales guy I was dealing with. I was telling him the differences between the 2016 and 2015!

    He said he was supposed to give me the sales training speech but could tell I just wanted to take the truck home and drive. Ya don't say chief! What could you possibly teach me when you didn't even know they came with sunroofs this year. :facepalm:

    Just gimme the keys and go away.

    Nothing worthy
    Ive been told by both LEXUS and Toyota not to wait. Giver nuts and enjoy.
    Funny, LEXUS said so many of their leased cars, usually leased by older people are very poorly broke in cause they NEVER bring the RPM's high enough or drive them hard enough. After the walk around and info speech he told me he wants to see rubber on the pavement when I leave.!! LOL

    Can anybody help me get the digital speed on the small screen between the tachometer and speedometer? I have the limited and they say I have the capability but I cannot figure it out. I tried reading what they say on page 92 but still cannot get it. Any specific help would be appreciated. I am not that up on technology. In fact I still use a flip phone if that tells you anything.

    That should be the first screen that appears after the Tacoma truck fades away. What, if anything, is on your screen?

    I guess only you guys up there need to know the fluid is low. From what it seems from U joints to every other fluid level is low and they don't want us to know about it.

    Thanks. However, I tried that but cannot find anything that will make the digital speed be displayed.

    I'd suggest you post a picture of the display from start up so we know exactly what you are talking about. It would make it easier for us to understand the dilemma you are in.

    It's the 1st screen when you are on this icon at the top " i "

    There is no digital speed option when I select the "I" page. Are you saying there should be an option on that page?

    You may need to set it in "Settings". Tap the right arrow on the steering wheel until you see Settings, then tap down to Speed.

    Yes. go to the I and try using the up/down button on your steering wheel to display the different screens.
