Similarly except a couple times I was in OPs boat. It’s weird but I’ve found somewhat inconsistent.

I’m equally baffled by it. Why isn’t the redundant system taking over as intended.

I remember that and tried to look for it but couldn’t find it and assumed it was buried in another thread.

Stopped to get gas driving home from a road trip today and when I restarted I got a check engine light and the steering wheel light. When I tried to shift to drive it gave me a hybrid system not ready error. I power cycled a couple times then eventually opened and closed the fuel door with a...

Screw it. Time to get intakes, blow off valves and a turbo timer. Gonna fast and the furious this thing out.

My first LX test drive was in an ultra luxury and I had to tell my kid not to get used to it because there was no chance we were getting one. They just didn’t have an OT to test drive.

It’s really different with the hybrid setup. The ICE is acting similarly as the start/stop systems but the hybrid system makes it way less noticeable. And it also functions differently because it will disengage and turn off before you even stop the car. But then the car starts moving before it’s...

Can you hear the turbos now? I swore to myself I wouldn’t mod this thing but a whistle and some blow off valves might be fun.

Jesus what happened to Toyota. 1" lean in tolerance, 35% fuel trim bank to bank is fine. metal in the oil is ok now too. wtf

weird i don't use the credit card and only a regular key

Speaking of the lift gate. Does anyone else have problems getting the touch free open to work. All it ever does is beep at me. Is there some logic to make it work?

I’m 15k miles in and no real complaints. It just does everything really well. The issues are minor annoyances in design choices mostly.

I’m not sure I buy that ultra gauge thing. I get it stays on after because the computer is doing weird s***, but they don’t use much power. That’s suspect unless we’re talking about days on end. I even think ultra gauge advertises that it’ll take 100 days for it to drain your battery. There’s...

I get it every once in a while but never in reverse, always in drive. But I do always back in at the office which is the only time it sits outside in the cold regularly. It’s pretty loud at first then goes away.

I don’t have especially large feelings about it. I think it could use some more bass but could easily live without it. It’s light years better than my 17 GX. But the only thing I like more than upgrades are free upgrades.
