    Wow. Noticed after around 3500 miles my taco (2017 Trd off road dclb 4x4 stock for now ) just like all of the sudden woke up. Very responsive no hesitation, just like a different truck. Even my wife noticed it. Also getting 21 - 22 mpg highway and 18-19 mpg mixed Local/freeway . No vibrations, no diff howl.no rattles. No squeaks or diff leaks. It does have a very seldom/rare high pitched harmonic sound (1-2 seconds)from the ac which I will have it addressed during the 5000 mile check . Btw I don't baby it. Anyone has the same experience? Love my taco ☺️

    Mine seems to actually behave after about 6,000 miles. But I did just one day seem to notice a difference. Trans isn’t hunting nearly as bad any more, the cold also seems to make a big difference.
