Had a 70s manual transmission that was like that… Once it warmed up it was fine.

None at all....how refreshing!! I suppose Toyota engineers weighed the benefits vs detractors on a DI/turbo engine. Pushbutton start, though?

Sounds like mx is under control. Ran into someone *again* indicates texting or inattention of some sort. Maybe some more driving education or lessons?

Back in the 80s I had a 1977 Plymouth Volare station wagon…4-on-the-floor (OD) and 225 Leaning tower of power from a 1974 Plymouth that had been wrecked. I reliably got 22.5 miles per gallon on the highway at 65+. Interestingly, when the MPG dropped below 20 it was time to adjust the valves on...

Yea, exactly. Since GW. has an automatic transmission and spoke about the transfer case specifically, that is what I was referring to. I don't know why you thought I was talking about manual transmission fluid 🤷

Of course! As I said earlier I was in a conference all day and just got back to the hotel. Here's the memo (not my email): So as I said, according to Toyota, 75w90 is ok to use. I can't see any value whatsoever in paying $75 per quart for the unicorn tears.

We've got those on both the FJ and Jeep...can back up that review.

Toyota put out a memo (or answered an emailed question?) saying that the 75W was for fuel economy, and that 75W90 can be used. At a conference right now, will try and locate the letter this evening. FWIW I've got 75W90 in the FJ and it shifts like buttah.

That's a really sharp idea!

Subbed.

Well said. Our furry friends leave us too soon - but on the other hand, they don't often have to suffer when we go.

Is '17 part of the recall? If so, I'd take it in.

Finding a good welder who will do it on the vehicle woyld he the best option.

Performs like SQ. Doesn't meet it though, since likely has too much of one ingredient or another....

Ha ha, @Marcozi beat me to it... I believe 6th gear is a 1:1 ratio in your Pilot, so that makes sense for a NA V6. I'd lock it in and let 'er eat. That said, towing does increase drag. Maybe something like this would help? https://www.nosecone.com/cargo-travel-trailer-models

Cynical K2 says maybe it's profit motivated planned obsolescence.

Toyota...have changed. Too bad. The 4R used to be a shining example of what a truck based SUV should be; somewhere around 2019 they started to transition away. Time will tell on the reliability and durability of the new model and turbo4; agree with putting in at least a 30 grade oil. For...

'Bout 3 years' worth. Maybe a little more.

Ridgeline's a great vehicle...enjoy! (PS too bad you didn't put the Silverado up for sale here...)
