    Crawl Control Overheating?

    This happens periodically. Crawl control typically engages and operates nominally. But---Routinely the system kicks out of crawl control on a downhill. Temperatures are 15F, I am going down the last quarter mile section of paved driveway and I set it to Rock and a speed of 2. That means I...

    Towing Tire Pressure

    I am hoping that this thread title will drawn gaijin out of the woodwork. Typically I have towed with a 5.7 Tundra. I am taking a track car over the mountains for 500 miles using the LC200. The total towed load is less than 4000 lbs using a double axle trailer with electric brakes on both...

    Oil Pressure Chg Downshifted on Long Grades

    I wandered around Colorado for the past few weeks. Lots of opportunity for downgrades that require a downshift to 2nd (or even 1st) gear to control speed and these can last 10-20 miles. Climbing the coolant temps and oil pressure are usually constant. Almost boring. Downshift to use...

    Outside Mirror Defrost (200)

    This does not seem to have arisen as a topic on this forum. I do realize that the toggle to engage the rear window defroster also activates the outside mirror heaters. I had a 2007 Tundra with tow mirrors. It would heat those mirrors in a heartbeat. My 200 is VERY slow. They do eventually...

    GPS Search By Coordinates

    Lat and Long take the form xx xx.xxx and this specifies a point in space. The navigation system in my 2013 will not (seemingly) permit you to enter the entire string which you need for accuracy. It only allows xx xx.x and truncates the final two digits. Is mine misbehaving? Another...

    Caster?

    My 200 does not pull under braking and the steering seems quite neutral. Around town or on the farm it is just fine. Get onto the highway and the steering demands constant attention. It is not pulling to one side of the other. If you don't touch the steering wheel it is pretty good. But...

    LC200 Full Time 4WD and Undersized Spare

    This question has been raised in a number of threads. i have read them but I still don't understand the drive train setup well enough to launch into the mountains with a stock sized spare when my other four are 4 or 5% taller. Let's assume I need to put my spare on the ground. And that I have...

    When Bigger May Not Be Better

    I have driven LCs since 1975 and I, like many, have changed my share of tires to achieve durability, capability, image, longevity or comfort. Almost all tire talk focuses on rubbing or lifts and the assumption is usually that bigger is better. I am considering the new Nitto EXO AWT because...

    Suddenly I No Longer Have a Warning Screen on Backup Camera

    Neutering the warning screen to use the camera when reversing was on my short list. Now, for some reason, when I go into reverse I get the camera display and no warning screen. Why? I did not consciously change the settings any where that I recall.

    Rear Hatch Toyota Emblem

    I find it to be a dirt and salt catcher par excellence. I suspect it has prongs that pierce the metal. Has anyone removed it?

    How to Disable the ECO Indicator

    Searching did not yield a thread. Yes, you can switch to "power" on transmission or move shifter to non-D but I find the silly green light distracting in normal driving at night. I have heard rumors that there is a procedure for deactivating it. I could not find it in manual. TIA

    Can the 2013 LC TPMS store two sets of wheels

    This comes up from time to time and rumor has it that the 2013 can store ten registered TPMS sensors which is what I need to simplify winter wheel swaps. Does anyone know for sure?

    Flickering Front LEDs??

    I searched but did not find this. The 13 VX200 has an annoying flicker if you encounter a sharp bump (e.g., the joint onto a bridge on interstate). Smooth bumps are fine and low speed is not an issue. The HID lamps seem unaffected, but you can see the flickering (the only other light that is...

    Tailgate Loading

    I have searched MUD, the TIS and the OM. Nothing. The Tundra tailgates were marginal. The bracing angle on the 200 cables is very shallow. I use it to climb to roof and no problem yet. Are their loading guidelines somewhere? TIA

    Hill Start Assist Control

    Is there such a thing on the 13 200? I find many feature lists that claim it does. The OM says use the hand brake (which by the way is much preferred to the foot operated parking brake on my Tundra). To get to our place it means an immediate 30 degree climb and gates need to closed and papers...

    Roof Rack Cross Bars

    I seem to remember taking them off my FJ80 but I don't seem to see how to easily remove them. Is there a way shy of removing the rails? I do have the manual for removing the rails, but I am hoping for easier. TIA

    Tow Brake Controller and Rear Droop

    I am new to this forum. I've had FJ40 and a triple locker 80. Now I am considering a 13 FJ200. I need to use it to tow a trailer and race car over the mountains. Is there a jack for a standard (P3 for instance) brake controller? My tongue weight is 350lbs or so. With the 3rd row seats out...
