Yeah, one pulled out in front of me the other day. Really nice, looked like the overtrail or similar trim (not the luxury trim for sure). Looked great. Has me rethinking my "never not buy a v8" thing haha.
I like everything about it, but the engine.
Agree 95%. I hate the extraordinary amount of, how you say, pedestrian plastic, in a luxury vehicle.
Same. My neighbor works for Toyota corporate in Plano and he was telling me how much more power the TT V6 and the hybrid 4s make, how much engineering, efficiency, blaa blaa. I told him I care much less about power and efficiency than I do reliability and the motor not sounding like a weed whacking Raptor. Looked at me like I had two heads.
Toyotas success was using V6s and V8s with lower than average power to keep its reliability. Focus was longevity and not making the most power.
And that right there is why I'll never give up my 460 or a V8. When my 4.6 dies and I'm still alive I'll at that point swap in the 5.7.
I approve this!

Spent a long weekend camping with our 4x4 club this past weekend up around Big Bear, in Holcomb valley (for the locals who know where that is).
I should probably clarify that my wife and I and another member "camped" while the rest of the the club did some gnarly trails. We let the guys with 37" plus tires go out while my wife and I just hung out and relaxed in the beautiful mountains air.
Did something different this time so my wife and I brought some entertainment.
Nice about it was that the dart board, darts, horse shoe set and bocce balls take up hardly any room at all when packing!
I used a short screw into the tree bark that only went about 1/2" into the bark and not into the tree itself and a length of bailing wire around the tree to hold the hanging dart board form wobbling.

- Electronic soft tip dart board
- Horse shoes
- Bocce ball
- Someone else brought ladder ball
- And yet someone else brought an LED lit bocce ball set for playing at night!

Looks fun!!
I cannot wait to finish my rig so we can start camping with it.

I surprised myself with how little space for packing the "toys" needed and how much fun they were! We were getting some serious competitions happening!
They will probably be on the packing list from now on, excluding when we're overlanding.
When overlanding, we try to keep the setup to a minimum every day as we hit new camp sites.

@ihBmud - System changed in 2020 and former ECU swaps were no longer applicable. Logic appears to have been moved to ABS Skid Control ECU and some wiring was eliminated in the process
Drivetrain Hardware has essentially stayed the same 2010-2023 but when it comes to infotainment and crawl/MTS… no not all the same

460-Add Crawl Control (CC) and Multi Terrain Select (MTS) to 2010-2019 models/all trims
Awaiting on CC module from Bell. I think I know the answer but to confirm: I will install the CC in my driveway but will need to drive about 3 miles or so to a parking lot to do the ZPC with the OBD port shorting method (the straight part is the issue). I will try to do the ZPC in my drive but...
