Yes, I'm afraid that's what will need to happen. When I cranked it back up, it appears that the round part on the winch that the hook shaped end goes into broke off. I should have checked underneath and stopped when the tire was all the way up. I didn't think I turned it that hard once it...

It is hanging there, and I know it's the same full size tire as the rest. My question was if it does need to be the same size unlike cars. Trouble is it's stuck hanging there, the winch broke. Also, it's 16 years old and maybe time to get a replacement due to dry rot, but it seems to be holding...

The tires I have now are P245/75R16. Should the spare be the same tire since it's 4WD, unlike a 'donut' on a typical car?

Needle and thread. I've actually become pretty good at sewing on missing buttons.

I see Tex. To tell the truth, putting groceries or whatever in the back is kind of a pain with the suicide doors. You must open the front door, and leave it at least partially open so the back door can open - and that's not in the right direction with your items behind it in a cart. I usually...

I heard the 2024 Access Cab's back doors don't open. At least they still offer a manual transmission, but I don't think on the Access Cab.

Oh I didn't hear about burning oil as well. My '07 2.7L Tacoma leaks some oil, but I know it's still a great engine.

Good idea. The 2007+ GMC 5.3L V8 engines, the standard in 1/2 ton pickup trucks used AFM, Active Fuel Management I think it's called - to reduce the cylinders in use from 8 to 4 in certain conditions. All kinds of information on how to disable that. Many times when someone purchases a truck with...

So many times now at a stoplight I'll hear other vehicles start again om the green light. That's the first thing of with that feature, how the starter will hold out. On my cave-man technology Tacoma the starter is typically used less than 20 times a week, I've heard good things about the Prius.

I'd rather go for longer range than 300+hp., especially in a Tacoma. I know this refers to the Hybrid, but many EVs seem to emphasize very high power rather than range.

Not that 'one' yet, pun intended I guess! I don't use Google for music trivia. I've spent a crazy amount of money over the years on music.

I apologize if it's already listed and realize I'll get a demerit - I didn't read every one. One - Three Dog Night was my first thought. Likely already mentioned. Jeez, many of these bands/artists I've never heard of. Showing my age, I listen to music very often but haven't listened to FM...

Yes I've seen that on the news. Glad it 'cooled' down!

I actually liked seeing that shot of the northernmost road. I don't do well in hot weather.

Connecticut, I've been to Texas a few times for training years ago in the Irving area. And cool - I see your 2020 is a manual!

Yeah I've seen that the 3.5 V6 with the automatic rivals the fuel economy of the previous gen 4 cylinder.

Mine is a 2nd gen. Just looked at my notes - in the winter average was around 19.5 mpg. Some of that due to warm ups in the morning. My commute is mostly good for fuel economy, about 25-40% highway, then 45-50 mph with not many stops. Some hills though. Still, you're getting 20+ mpg which...

Why when I select Watch on a thread does it say 'Are you sure you want to unwatch this thread'? I thought if I was watching, I'd have an Unwatch option.

With the warmer weather (not that hot yet!) here I'm averaging around 22.7 mpg. Not bad for a mid sized 4WD truck in my opinion. I attribute that to the 2.7L and 5 speed manual transmission.

I've heard the term Automated Manuals, but wasn't sure what the difference was from a conventional automatic. Interesting how they're computer based now, and can see hills and shift accordingly. Amazing a transmission programming update can now be done over the air.
