You need OFFSET balljoints, not just new ones.

By the way, why is there a bungee cord hanging off the driver's side of the axle?

Absolutely love adaptive cruise. Makes long road trips fantastic.

Pickups being practical is an obsolete notion.  Most buyers want “mini Monster trucks”.  No way for anyone of average height to reach anything in the beds anymore.

Putting the engine in the front.

All cars should be like this.

Average height?   I am 6ft 3in and the goddamn bed rails make it impossible.

I say it started with the 2nd Gen Tacomas.

Came from years of Rangers and it was easy to lean over and get shit because they rode so low and bed rails were so low, even the Ranger Edge on 30in tires was an easy reach.

But mybstock height 07 Tacoma prerunner is a pain.

It only gets worse from there.   The new Rangers might as well be enclosed panel vans.

No shit. I love my ACC. And at least on my ES350 there's an option to just use "regular" cruise control. I will say my Audi A6 Prestige had much better ACC and lanekeeping then the Lexus though as far as being able to follow closer and be smoother on the braking. I've been wanting to move up to a '23+ ES350UL to get the 2.5+ safety system and wireless android auto. I didn't know it at the time but the early '19 model I got doesn't do android at all and going to the 2.5 system should help some of the ACC/LKA features.

This one is bittersweet for me. On one hand, it's not necessary at all, and hugely increases the cost of the tailgate if I get rear ended. On the other hand, it's by far the best implemented tailgate step that I've used, and yes, it is convenient. It's also nice for hauling longer items in certain cases, where I can have my tonneau cover closed, just the top part of the tailgate down, and the long item sticking out of the small gap with the rest of the tailgate still closed to keep stuff in.

Most annoying part is that you can't drop the step down if you have a hitch in. If mine ever gets damaged I'll replace it with a regular tailgate for sure.

Horrible adaptive cruise, I dont care if you love it, i dont. Sunroofs, auto stop start, these things suck. I should habe the option to not habe them

Tall wheels with low profile tires on classics and modern off road vehicles.

Way earlier than any Tacoma. My 86.5 Nissan hardbody has shoulder height bed rails. I'm 5'08". That's stock height. No lift, no oversized tires. Hell, it's actually sagging a bit from age and use.


Adaptive cruise is the only time I've actually had to fight a vehicle to NOT crash. 2019 Tacoma went WOT and refused to listen to anything. Didn't go into neutral like it should have, didn't turn off cruise with the cancel button. Ended up having to stand in the brakes or hit a semi v it did that multiple times. Between that and an automatic tranny, hell no. I'll stick to rowing gears because I'm not lazy and it's fun and safer.

Adaptive cruises dangerous. Someone pulls in front of you suddenly it slams your brakes on much more aggressively than you would. Constantly overreacts to road situations. There should be a choice to delete it or at least turn it off. Its mynopinion Those who like  it usually are lazy drivers.or slow witted and dint mind the intrusion.
