You can also get windshield coverage without deductible, at least with Progressive.

I wonder if this is happening because the breaks are not used as rigorously thanks to regenerative breaking, which causes surface rust to form on them. This, at least, is a known issue for EVs. I believe regenerative breaking is not used in reverse, so this may be the reason why the noise...

Yes.

There was a post I think at Tacoma forum years ago about the internal QC record of Toyota factories. It was Japan>Mexico>USA. So I am glad they kept production in Japan.

Aren’t CAI useless on turbo cars though? Especially since the OEM air box is technically a CAI.

I think it is hybrid battery contractor switches. It basically disconnects the battery so that if an emergency happens, someone who touches the car doesn’t get electrocuted. There are also several other valves and switches that revert to their “off mode” when the car turns of, some sounds may...

OP, do you have a plastic wrap over your rear wheel? I would remove that if you are driving around with that.

To me, it only happens if I drive on wet roads and park in the garage afterwards. Or if the humidity is very high. I assume it is related to the moisture on the pads.

So my way of removing it like a gorilla was not the best option :).

Were you able to take to big one off without breaking it? I broke the clips on it while taking it off lol.

No it probably came like that from the factory, but dealer may fix it.

I do not know how it is done, but I think it is possible. I suspect they adjust the hinges.

Ahh I see it know. Dealer may be able to align it.

You mean the black trim pieces? Looks like they are not misaligned, but the one on the front is a narrower piece.

I started to get this as the weather cooled.

Land Rover?

Yes, they are tested in a lab on a dyno that simulates air resistance by increasing the resistance on the dyno roller. EPA actually asks for several other tests, some of which would probably be very usefully if shared with the consumer. But I assume manufacturers only want to share the portion...

How do you activate traffic jam assist?

Numbers actually come from Toyota with conditions determined by the government, and includes headwind at 55 MPH. Government only test a small number of vehicles to validate the numbers manufacturers report.

It would be fine, drivetrain will not care if one axel has more traction. Torsen central diff will mechanically split the torque to each axel based on traction (relative wheel speed). Having chains on all 4 tires are recommended for awd vehicles with open diffs since an open diff will send the...

Yeah that would be fine. Since it has a torsen central diff, axel with more traction will get more torque. Just be careful about locking the central or rear diff with the chains on.

I think cables on top of socks would cause the socks to rip apart really fast. If you are worried about clearance, you could try low clearance Chains (also known as clamp on chains). But in my opinion, there is no danger to using regular high quality chains on rear wheels. Toyota probably does...

I would just buy tire chains. Buy two sets if you want redundancy in case one chain breaks. Chains will outperform any winter tire. I would practice putting them on though.

So OP replaced the broken lever by paying $3k lol.

I would get a hand cranked winch for any emergencies, with necessary straps, hooks etc. Also bear mace for wildlife. It should work fine on wolfs, cougars, moose etc. Just don’t accidentally spray yourself.

I still did not understand what exactly was broken. Was it the lever that is pulled to fold the seats, was it the central arm rest, was it the arm rest on the door?

I do not think ASTM D4814 regulates octane number. The only thing it may regulate is how the fuel is labeled, as in you cannot label 88 octane as premium etc.

Nah, listen to TikTok bro, Toyota put that “premium only” sticker inside the gas cap as a prank. They are such tricksters.

I remember reading years ago is this is because the car's computer operates with metric units, and that it converts numbers in MPH to KMH and than rounds it down to the nearest integer. Like setting 70 MPH gets converted/rounded down to 112 KMH, which is then set as 69 MPH by the cruise system...

Why should something you broke be warranty covered?
