Ha! I went and requested that they don't share, but didn't have them delete my stored data. I'll probably let them keep my 2000 miles of driving data based on your experience!
My gas engine will always run for the first five minutes or so because the car is cold. Once it's warm, it shuts down at a stop unless the battery is really depleted. You have to BARELY touch the gas keep EV only. I assume most people wouldn't naturally give it such a slight amount of throttle.
Yep, with very heavy E-load 275/70/R18s. It's laughably slow acceleration and it has to be flat. I don't recommend trying it with someone behind you or with a passenger, they will be angry :)
If nobody is behind me, I often use it up to 7-10mph though.
I went back and declined the Data Privacy Consent late last week and even uninstalled the app on my phone. It did reset all my settings to default, but I wasn't using any of the additional Toyota offerings and I'm not missing it. CarPlay and Sirius work the same so I'm just fine.
I haven't tried the pulse and glide method, but I've been using old school hypermiling techniques to get 20+ per tank. I live in a hilly area and installed large A/T tires, both of which destroy the mileage. The folks getting 24 smartly kept their stock tires.
If you're starting on a flat...
I ran my car down to “zero” on the fuel mileage counter. I believe there’s about a gallon in reserve.
At 15 miles, an amber fuel light comes on along with a large warning on the dash screen about low fuel. You never actually hit zero (I was sort of disappointed) because it switches from...
There are no issues with them really, the height was the most noticeable change for me.
I'm not happy with my MPG, which isn't such a big deal to many folks here. My tires are now E load rated which means they are heavy. When I need new tires, I may go down to 265 SL rated to reduce the...
This is the rattle I hear when I’m driving slowly with my windows down. In this video I’m going about 15 and held my phone out the window. I was under the impression everyone was hearing this same rattle because I’ve read about it in other threads.
Does this mean I have a bigger problem?
I’ve gone from Seattle-ish up the top of Snoqualmie Pass (3000 ft) several times now. If I drive as slow as most of the tractor trailers I get 19 up and 24 down. I’m using unfriendly tires, but it generally sucks gas
I received and installed the "Premium Horn 08522-B1010 KIT" this afternoon. It’s probably a 15 minute swap. I think I spent more time with the plastic cover then I did on the horns themselves. It sounds great now, like it should.
Thank you!
Impossible to answer question for ya: If it were two inches skinnier would it seem too small? Would you be worried about grandma climbing in?
Does someone with the LC LC Running Boards know the width of those boards? The Dissentoffroad Step Sliders are 3.5 inches wide. I can't tell if that's too thin to be really effective.
I got an email from toyota today pitching me accessories and noticed they now have Rock Rails available. They look like they may be different from the FE version, but it's a little hard to tell. Does anyone know about these?

The description makes it sound like they are...
I'm probably just muddying the waters, but I suspect it's more like one gallon extra.
Yesterday I got down to 36 miles* remaining after 293.4 miles traveled and put in 15.04 gallons to top it off. So, I got 19.5MPG for the tank and had 2.86 gallons** left. That means I had 55.8 miles left...
The cutouts have plastic covers over them that you need to remove with a slim screwdriver or butter knife. I went back and forth with an Amazon vendor about the fit until they pointed out that I never removed the covers 😂
I put Wildpeak 275s on mine at ~300 miles. The MPG was pretty bad before and after IMO. I have to work pretty hard and basically hypermile to get 23-24. My 20-mile round trip to work (a mix of highway speeds and stop/go) usually gets me just under 21 combined. The best I've seen for a...
