My Capstone

Been lurking for a while, but decided to jump in on the forum.

I have been a strong Toyota guy since 2000 when I purchased my first Toyota (98 4 runner SR5). Here are is my fleet

1) 1998 4runner SR5- 300k
2) 2006 4runner Sport- 200k
3) 2011 Tundra Platinum- 175k
4) 2022 Tundra Capstone (pearl white)- 800miles. Still early on in the experience, but this truck is PHENOMINAL compared to my 2nd gen...which I LOVE. I don't have any of the typical issues other than some minor rattle in door when strong volume/bass. The acoustic glass is so effective I cannot hear the transition to and from electric. I am not crazy about the throttle response (lag when coasting), but I believe it is improving as the truck computer calibrates?? Anyway, a badass truck...white interior and all!!!

Beautiful Tundra! Welcome from Winston Salem, NC

 

For the rattle, try this first. Take that little felt piece out of that little coin holder part where you hold to shut your door. My PRO had a rattle like that and I had my tech rip apart the door first and it didn't fix it. We sat in truck together once it was put back together and he pulled the piece out and it was instantly gone. There's hard plastic under that felt that was apparently rattling bad with the strong bass. Weird.

 

Do you find the ride of the 22" low profile wheels harsh? I have a 1794 + a Capstone on order and haven't decided which one I want

 

Welcome from AZ, beautiful rig!

 

I'll jump in on this question. The Capstone is a VERY harsh ride. I select "custom" every time I get in to set the air suspension (If yours is equipped) to "comfort". It helps a little but not like the 2019 TRD I had. However, It's a great highway machine, VERY quiet, and handles like a car, keeps pulling even over 90 (not that I do that).

 

I'll second this, my Capstone has a very firm, borderline rough ride on anything but the highway. Was certainly not a plush ride, and the very firm seats exacerbate the problem. On the highway it's extremely smooth and comfortable (besides the wind noise from window seal and mirror screaming at me).

 

The 1794 advance pack has that same air bag suspension system with the 5 drive select system, I wonder if the 1794 will also ride harsh? I thought the lower profile 22's might push it up a notch.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas. As far as the "harsh ride".....all I know is rides 1000x better (all aspects of drivability) than my 2011 Tundra Platinum.

I actually prefer the "firm" seats as well....

 

By any chance did you have the bump stop TSB peformed?

 

No work done yet. I just turned 1,000 miles....so, i was going to wait a couple more months to see if anything else pops up. What does the "bump stop" TSB do for me? mitigate the tail gate rattle?

 

That is the one feature from the Capstone that I wish I could have got on my plat.

 

It is a game changer (acoustic glass). The primary reason I choose Capstone was....22" wheels, Lexus grade leather, and acoustic glass. The cabin is so quite it is amazing...and no wind noise (cross my fingers).

 

Welcome!

 

I did, and there were no outstanding recalls or TSB's available when I traded it in.
