    issues with 2016 Tacoma

    WEX, are you running the stock tires? Have a lift kit? Just curious as to what's different. Are we comparing apples to apples? Your mileage numbers are the first I've heard in reverse order that isn't a hybrid electric.

    LED lights.

    That's the Dome light bulb in the center of your ceiling. The one that will make the biggest difference of the set. Just pop the lens cover with a thin bladed screwdriver and swap it out. ( careful, the stock one gets blistering hot if on for even a few seconds)

    issues with 2016 Tacoma

    Just had TSB-00-77 downloaded to my 2016 (Nov 2015 build) TRD 2WD 3.5L Automatic yesterday. I was plagued with the morning delay from R to D shift every day now for 13.000 mi. My fluid levels were perfect from the factory ( I have the tow pckg and cooler ). The TSB fixed the slow R to D problem...

    Factory Hard Tri-fold tonneau cover

    Bought and installed from Toyota. Preordered but NOT installed at the dealer. Otherwise you have to pay the dealer parts dept. hourly rate. My point was there's nothing to it. Very simple. I've seen a couple for sale already online. Guessing owners didn't want them. For kicks I'll check my...

    Factory Hard Tri-fold tonneau cover

    I had mine installed at the port (San Diego) vs. the dealer to avoid the labor charges. I've had it off a half dozen times and there's nothing special to the install. Drilling and installing two threaded inserts in the center of the front bed rail for a support post is about it. Don't see why...

    2016 Broke & Toyota has no idea what wrong!

    Pulled out of the car wash and electronics/sensors go crazy? Has to be water in a network or sensor connector. Did you spray wash under the hood? It will be interesting to see if this still exists after it all dries out.

    Recommendations for a bed extender?

    Go to Harbor Freight. A few to choose from. Well built and won't break the bank

    OBDII Scan tool for 2016?

    Bought the same Harb Freight OBDII/CAN reader and it works great on the Taco, Venza and Corolla. Love the internal code library. No more book or web searching for codes. Also shows all the live data which the motor running. All temps, voltages, mass airflow, Cat temps, rpm, hours, throttle %...

    Tint and LED interior lights

    Look for the post in this thread titled "LED Lights" . EliteTech on Amazon has a 9 bulb kit for $15. Installed all in less than 30 mins. Love the hue and brightness. Great company too. I had a bad dome bulb that started strobing right away. They sent 2 replacements in 2 days without a question.

    LED lights.

    That's a good idea. I put on surgical gloves and the extra grip did the trick.

    OBDII Scan tool for 2016?

    Remember that in 2007 the OBDII protocol was updated to OBDII CAN. ( a new network language protocol ) Pre 2007 OBDII readers can't read the CAN format. All the auto shops sell the new OBDII CAN readers. Some even have ABS testing as well. The newer units are backwards compatible to the...

    LED lights.

    Thanks for the tip. Ordered, recd in less than a week, installed all 9 LEDs in less than 30 mins. Love the brightness and color of the interior lighting. My wife doesn't like the LED cool tint on the passenger side mirror so I'll switch that one back to incandescent bulbs for a warmer color.

    Frustrated

    Great news

    Same experience around 5K mi. I've heard this Trans controller learns your driving habits. It seems to rev a little higher between gears now (like I like) without up shifting so fast to lug/Eco mode. I still have the 2 to 3 second slide-into-drive in the am or whenever the Trans is cold. Fluid...

    issues with 2016 Tacoma

    Not having that issue on my 2016 (built Nov 15'). It downshifts in cruise for hills and headwinds and goes right back to the highest gear it can. Note that 6th being a second overdrive is a VERY tall gear. The slightest hill or headwind will cause a downshift. If you raise your vehicle, increase...
