    Totally agree, which is what is causing me some hesitance. I keep track of everything in a spreadsheet, desired/purchased items, cost, USD to CDN, shipping cost, and weight delta (new lbs - removed lbs). Also track every tank of gas and mileage.:computercoffee:

    Does a 2021 ORP not come with a factory remote start? Or is this a US spec thing?

    Crazy. it amazes me the variance between Toyota USA and Toyota Canada. Even the new heated steering wheel is also standard amongst all models up here in Canada.

    I just compared 2 tires from discount tire site. Just wanted to point that there is a huge difference in weight that might impact the ride.
    How ever the 45lbs one is Cooper Discover AT 4S which I strongly considered on mine but went with a different tire, but I might get it for my Limited. The 62lbs one was Yokohama something..

    I have come to the conclusion that if you're going to get hit, you're going to get hit. I was hit while in my little white Subaru on a snowy highway. I bought a 2016 Tacoma that was much larger and bright orange and was hit by a large box truck on a clear bright day. People will always find a way to be distracted and cause an accident.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    Agreed. I blame a huge chunk of these accidents on people's addiction to their damn phones. And no, I do not own a so called smart phone.

    Not sure on the years, but both push starts. I know one was a Limited model. Both stolen seemingly by accessing OBD2 port, access to get inside one due to key repeater. As far as police say, most cars stolen jump on the highway in Toronto area, and are driven to the port in Montreal onto containers.

    We have a lot of Lexus RXs stolen and Honda CRVs. I saw one security camera vid of them pulling open the driver’s side front quarter panel on a Lexus RX to what seems to be them accessing the OBD2 port, then the car opens up, mirrors unfold and they drive off. Hate push button, so much easier to steal now.

    Yep. The box truck that hit me failed to yield thanks to being on his phone. Years back I was rear ended while slowing for traffic. Buddy hopped out his car with his phone in his hand and straight up apologized, saying he had checked his phone.

    That gives a nice look to your 4R. NICE..!!
    This mirror reminds me how much I loved my SR5 without moonroof. More head room, no leaks. (My TRD Pro moonroof leaked and fixed under warranty)

    Those things are the bomb. I ditched my Canvasbacks when I saw them. The Canvasback did the job, but these are mucho better. Camping and dogs are rough on the cargo area.
