No way that is a STX for $56k sticker. Maybe Canadian dollars? It does look like a STX but that price must be wrong. My crew 2018 XLT 302A with sport package, tow group, and a bunch of other stuff stickered $51,200. My new Laramie (RAM) crew has some extras and stickered $55,135. If I was paid...

Yeah, I'm going to drive it for now. If prices stay high on trade-in values, I'll probably order a 2022 a year from now with the new UConnect 5 or look at the new Tundra for 2022 MY. Maybe by 2022 Ram will make some of their safety features standard (I only got the Level 1 Equipment Group for...

Thanks all for the input. A lot to dissect. Right now I'm leaning toward keeping it a year or so and re-evaluating then. I have activated the gear icon in the settings, and it seems some of what I'm feeling is the downshifting between gears (but not always, some times it is the regen braking)...

I have never noticed the eco button active, even on the highway. I drove around the city for a half hour this morning. I didn't notice the regen braking much. With the +/- it didn't do it that I noticed. It did do it, but not bad, without the +/- active. It isn't MDS, but there is something...

That is a good thought on driving a used one to see what they will feel like. I had a Ford but had a lot of problems. It also just seemed like build quality was lacking. The Chevy seems best for build quality, Ram second, Ford third. Maybe the 2021 Ford would be better? I just know the longer I...

I do expect a lot with how expensive these trucks are. But it is not the MDS, the non-etorque trucks don't do it when I drove them, and I have used the +/- buttons to disable MDS.

So here is the story (kind of long)... I was having problems with my 2018 XLT, way too many since bought new two and a half years ago. With trade-in values nuts right now, I traded it in on a new RAM 1500 Laramie. I test drove some locally, would have preferred the regular HEMI (non-etorque)...

Sounds expensive for just putting some plastic on top of your old shower. Bathroom fixtures (vanity, toilet, plumbing fixtures, flooring) are cheap and easy to do yourself. Find a contractor to give you a new shower where you don't still have old mildew and bad grout underneath, and do the rest...

Well, maybe not brake dust. I am thinking surface rotor rust debris when it rubs off. There is normal charcoal color brake dust on the wheels (they are black). The salesperson at the dealership said they see that all the time, including on her white car. Said they even see it on non white cars...

It is brake dust. Had the same thing on our white Pontiac Vibe. The issue is it does not come off the paint easily. I am just not totally sure if it is the pads or the thin layer of rust on the rotors (that forms when the car sits overnight) flaking off upon braking when using the car the next...

Went on Akebono web site. It says Akebono is OEM pads for Highlander, and they are ceramic. So should I even bother with the Akebono aftermarket (ProACT) pads? Maybe I should look into Hawk performance ceramic?

I have used Akebono pads in the past and been happy with them. Definitely less, almost no, dusting. We looked at a Rav 4 and Forester. Just too small. Wife didn't like the look of the Passport in person, so we didn't even talk to a salesperson. She doesn't like the look of the Pilot. Just...

Is it the pads or rotors?

Have a 2019 Highlander and there are just a few things we aren't crazy about. One is the brakes putting orange dust that is very difficult to get off on the paint (white). But a few other things as well. It is my wife's daily driver. We looked at an Ascent and it was great except for the...

We have a 2019 Toyota Highlander, got it in October last year. I noticed we have orange colored specs on the white paint. They come off with some elbow grease and one of the exterior cleaners I have, but don't come off with a regular car wash (either by hand or taking it through a car wash). We...

I use it in snowmobiles. Never had a problem. It is expensive. I use it because of not wanting to run into warranty issues (I know using their banded oil isn't required).

It was the pressure gauge. I replaced that and it is reading normal and the pump is working fine. I don't know how I'd replace the switch without water going all over. I shut off the pump, closed all the valves, drained the tank, and still water was coming out like crazy when I replaced the...

The only point of me getting a MS was to go on to get my PhD. I'm a college professor, still under 40. But wondering if it was all worth it now, might even go back and get another MS in something different and switch careers.
