So, now that we're mostly through (or at least scheduled) the MY21 production debacle, and pretending the builds generally followed the reservation order (note I said generally), how far down the reservation list did they make it?
Will reservations made in December of '20 make the cut this...
I'm sure it's a long ways off for people (especially us vin-less ones), but is anyone familiar with releasing the parking brake actuator at the caliper to change rear pads? Had tried to change the pads on my wife's old Tiguan, also with electric parking brake, and basically it was controlled...
Obviously there's been some race teams down there, just wondering if any privateers have made the plunge yet? Have a trip planned for ~Feb '23, assuming (hoping) I'll have mine before then and can make sure to work through any bugs and get it set up. More overlanding set-up not racing.
Figure...
If the 2022 production is going to start in December, I'm assuming they would start scheduling that in October? Is it about 2 months between scheduling and production? That would mean there's a very tight window for them to get MY22 replacement orders for us long haulers and Ford to be able to...
I believe they were going to allow roof racks on the Sasquatch package for MY22, so lighter/stronger? What about addressing the squeaks some apparently have.
So, I might not mind changing to a soft top too much, but I need a roof rack. Doesn't have to have a big load capacity but I'll need something. 4WPs had one on their demo vehicle with a RTT. Can't seem to find much info on it. Wonder if it was a custom 1 off just for their little shindigg or...
Went to the Seattle Meet the Broncos event, like the vehicles, will make the waiting seem much longer. The event itself - meh.
Anyway I asked a question that they couldn't answer, and I haven't seen it discussed here (yes I tried searching) If I hit the Sway bar disconnect and /or the Trail...
A pretty good explanation of how the process works from a Raptor forum back in 2010. If you take the simplistic example and increase that by the 1000's of dealers involved, it starts making sense why the build order doesn't exactly match the reservation timestamp order. I would assume the...
Pretty straight assessment of a new Tacoma. Guy does a lot of 4 wheeling in various vehicles that he fabs up so a good understanding of how it is used. His channel has a lot of good fab info too.
If they aren't scheduling production till January sometime, what advantage is there to getting your order placed early? Why bounce your reservation between dealers until then either? Figure it'll be a good way to see what you can get for your best deal. Go through the process with one and get...
Any idea on how they are locating the oil pickup for dealing with extended extreme angles so you don't have oil pump starvation? I think I remember hearing of some problems with Tacomas recently.
