    Catchy title eh?

    One problem I have with the Tacoma is that the "daytime" mode on the radio. To get to this option, you have to scroll through too many screens. Then, you have to turn the headlights on for the option to appear on the touch screen..... when that happens, it's usually bright enough that finding the check box to touch is difficult because it's hard to see.








    I took it to the @$$hole dealer who said it was a "normal characteristic" of the truck. I told him I wanted him to upgrade my Tacoma to a Tundra for free. If they don't comply, I'm probably going to trade it in on a Ridgeline in about 5 years as I don't want to take a hit on depreciation. Maybe a superturbocharger will help? Anyone done this yet? Think I can get Toyota to install and warrantyforfree?!?!?!? Maybe some 42" tires too!!!! Will they fit without a lift? I can't believe anyone buys a Colorado, they fall apart as soon as you drive them off the lot. I can't believe Toyota didn't design this thing to drive underwater. I saw this Jeep with a Diesel drive underwater! Why don't they stick a diesel in this thing?!?!?! I want to roll coal!!! Yee yee!!! I'm going to stick a diesel in this thing.... think I can do it for $500?!?!?! What's a socket wrench?!?!?! I'm going to stick some new gears in this thing, but I'm waiting on Toyota to fix the leaky rear diff. What's a dial indicator anyways? Smitty99 is right. I love this truck so much. I saw a girl the other day who said my truck was diaphanously pulchritudinous. How dumb!!!! BTW, I slammed a shopping cart into my truck and it left a dent. Why would Toyota allow this to happen!?!?! I wish Toyota would just bring the Hilux over, I can't hear my rear differential well enough already. Should I buy a Colorado?!?!?! Which truck has the brightest factory light bar!?!?!? I wish Toyota would ditch this Atkinson Engine, why would Toyota make such a wimpy engine. There should be a 22LoP Engine, a four cylinder with an 8-71 making 1,000 hp.... I don't mind paying a little extra in Nitromethane to for my DD. Who makes the best 9.127" lift? Seriously, best truck evar!!!!!!!!

    Like how on the surface, you appear to give the 2nd genners some fuel. Well done!

    Actually, I do have a problem with diming the touch screen with the headlights on during the daytime.

    Epic! Woke up this morning at 6am to the sound of needle guns and deck growlers because we have contractors redoing the flight deck so I was a little pissed but reading this made me laugh so hard and I'm in a much better mood now. :thumbsup::cheers::rofl:
