    Stupid question but you don't have to use automatic HVAC, do you? I absolutely hate that "feature" in my car.
  2. Cpl_Punishment
    You have the 8 speed transmission?
  3. Cpl_Punishment
    How's your fuel economy with and without AFM?
  4. Cpl_Punishment
    That sounds more annoying than useful.

    Trailering mirrors are an option on the 2020s.

    I'm not questioning/ doubting you, rather asking out of my own ignorance, but if you don't give them a deposit, is there a risk of them selling your truck to someone else once it's built and delivered?

    Based on the J.D. Power report I was reading, paint quality is a common complaint across most manufacturers these days.

    Or GM doesn't want your engine to last 300k+ because then they wouldn't sell enough parts and trucks to turn a handsome profit?

    Wait until 2020 and buy a Red Hot RST with the 6.2?

    I'd be interested to read those 300 words, even though most of it might go right over my head and no one else would appreciate it.

    If I remember correctly, windows down is more efficient below 55 mph and A/C is more efficient above 55 mph. Thinking back now, I can't decide if their test method was flawed or not, as they ran the A/C full blast, requiring the driver to wear a parka.

    In that case, what got you into an AT4 instead of an SLT, if you don't mind me asking? (This question mostly arises from my own ignorance in that I don't know what features the AT4 has that the SLT doesn't, other than the lift.)

    If you live in a hilly area, cruise control is not your friend. I found that switching from a mentality of trying to maintain speed on my commute to trying to maintain throttle position and letting the speed drop when going uphill improved my mileage by ~50% (went from 20 mpg to 30 on my car).

    I never speed but then again I have a much better understanding of risk than the average person.
  15. Cpl_Punishment
    I suspect they're trying to convince people who are on the fence to spring for the 6.2.

    I'm the same height as you and I can't even get into a stock K2 without running boards. I can't imagine clambering into an AT4 every day, even with assist steps. Those Tacomas are cramped. Less interior space than my compact car.

    I love my 2012 Kia Forte Koup with the 2.4L I4 (naturally aspirated) and 6 speed manual.

    Satin steel looks nicer to me in pictures but it's $495 (in Canada, anyway).

    I agree with the folks who recommend running in 2H unless traction is bad. However, when I'm driving my company's trucks around the plant where I work, I find it will spin a little on the sand and gravel that's all over our roads so I usually shift to 4A so our safety guys don't give me shit.

    I can't believe that a truck that can cost north of $80k CAD doesn't come with a locking gas cap.
  22. Cpl_Punishment
    I remember seeing another thread on this with a bunch of different low cost options.
  23. Cpl_Punishment
    I'm pretty sure I know the answer but, just to confirm, L wouldn't let me shift into second, say if I'm in a low traction situation and want less torque so the wheels don't just spin?

    Not sure if they improved it for the T1 but I hate the jump seat in the K2s. Folded down for storage, it sits right where I put my elbow when holding the wheel with my right hand. Cup holders are too small for my water bottle (not sure if they're any bigger in the consoles), nowhere out of sight but still handy for me to keep my sunglasses, tire pressure gauge, pens, parking passes and various other stuff I like to carry with me. Plus I wouldn't really want someone sitting there when I'm driving anyway.

    Pretty tough to put 1000 lbs of gear in a boat. My dad usually has 400 lbs at most when his is full of jerry cans of fuel and propane cylinders for our lake lot.
