    Hard downshifting/sloppy brakes

    They actually checked my brakes a few months ago for a different issue and they were fine. Transmission fluid was good too. I had the transmission TSB performed recently, but it didn't make a difference with this issue.

    Vibration in Steering Wheel

    When do you feel the vibration? I was getting a vibration when braking that I felt through the seat, steering wheel, and floor. It was fixed with shims between the rear axle and leaf springs.

    Gas mileage decrease after TSB-00-77

    I've had the hard downshift when stopping since I got my truck. It seems to only happen going from second to first, and it causes the brakes to feel inconsistent. Sometimes I think it may all be due to axle wrap though.

    Icy roads

    I run into problems when the snow becomes patchy on the streets. Most pavement will be too dry to keep 4 hi engaged, but then I may come up to an intersection where the snow is piled up from the plows. I'll switch into 4 hi as I roll to the stop sign/stop light, come to a stop, and then slowly...

    Does your truck go into 4 hi immediately? The snow usually causes a delay in my transfer case when shifting into 4 hi.

    Slow clutch release when cold

    30 minutes is way too long. It's -1 currently and my truck took less than 10 minutes of idling to reach temp.

    It's a good idea to put some weight in the bed to keep your rear wheels planted.

    So what are Tacoma owner's thoughts on the newer 2016 Tacoma?

    My truck doesn't have the erratic shifting. It doesn't seem to affect all of them.

    Warranty or not?

    Get the extended warranty if you haven't already. There are too many components in modern vehicles not to, especially with added accessories and complex four wheel drive systems.

    Wind noise

    Unfortunately the TSB still hasn't been issued, but I was told by a service advisor and mechanic two days ago that Toyota sent out an advisory stating that the TSB will involve replacing the door seals.

    This is exactly what I want to do with my truck, but I have deceleration vibration. I know a lift will make it worse.
