    Today I learned that the clunk noise that I hear shortly after turning on and driving down the road is normal.

    I've known this for awhile, but you don't actually have to hold the key to start my truck. You can just "bump" the starter and it will continue to turn over until the truck starts. I would imagine it is like this for the OEM remote start or something. Who knows but first truck I've owned that does this, thought it was pretty cool.

    Do you know what it is? I also only hear it maybe a few hundred feet after starting the truck and driving, I haven't heard it any other time.

    Pretty sure my center console charges my phone wirelessly. Phone died while out of the truck; put it in the armrest pocket and when I got home to plug it in it was at 10% charge?!?

    What's the noise coming from my rear axle area when it's sitting at night? Sounds like something is running, but only happens for a few minutes. It happens on my wifes 2018 4runner as well

    My 2015 Tacoma did this and I was told it’s doing a fuel system pressure check to test for leaks.

    Yo dawg, we heard you have a Tundra. So we turned your Tundra into frozen tundra, so you can drive tundra while you drive your Tundra.

    It may have already been mentioned but here it anyways. Hold the traction button down until the traction turns off. Let go then press it down again for 3 more sec. It will completely turn off all traction safety choke holds. Do this while stopped. For a touch more engage the tow/haul function.

    Did not know that if you tap the signal stalk it will blink a couple of times and then turn off.
