I'm not sure about this, because if that were the case, the ICE would be powering the generator the entire time it is using gas, right? Also, I've noticed this situation happens usually only after I run out of battery power and the ICE kicks in. If there was battery power left, why would it...

Okay that was what I thought too, but I've noticed that if I am about to run out of battery power (blue box is almost full) and I let go of the throttle even for a second, and start accelerating again, I get more electric range than I before. I cannot believe that letting go of the throttle for...

I'm sure there are more, but what I have noticed so far: Wipers cannot be lifted up, how do those who live in snow/ice regions deal with this? MY24 dropped the windshield heater too. I personally haven't had the need to lift them up, but won't this be annoying when you have to replace the...

TLDR: MY24 Hyb XLT at over 10k miles, 29% on OLM got first scheduled service done at dealer for $108 got them to check battery for deep sleep, 12.6V @ 2.3Ah but battery tester showed AGM type battery surprised that dealer service does not include a free wash got to sit in MY25 Hyb XLT and had...

Nice truck. Did you customize it yourself and ordered it online or was this as is at a dealer? Not sure how big your pup(s) is but I would highly recommend a seat mat with a hard base which gives them more room than last the seat width. I bought this one but you can find dozens similar ones...

How do you change just the filter w/o the oil just draining out completely? I've never heard of this type of witchcraft!!!

Do you know which ones? If you could provide a link or post pics I would sure appreciate it. I'm thinking of getting them as well. I have an extra set of tailgate covers that I 3D printed for the holes at the bottom, lmk if you want those to trade!

I was in a similar situation to yours where I needed something I can take on and off without much time and effort. I looked at the product but their price seemed pretty steep. I finally ended up getting a soft topper because it is a sturdier system with a metal truss. It takes me 15-20 mins to...

Maybe the maverick being heavier and more prone to needing braking could be what could have contributed to the brakes heating more or faster than the Prius?

I would assume you want to save your brakes as a last resort and use engine braking where possible first. Once your brakes fade there's no stopping you from doing down the cliff using an unexpected shortcut...

Didn't really do much. Drove down to Santa Cruz for a day but that's about it. How you guys had more fun

I'm surprised you had to pay for the BCM out of pocket. Wouldn't it be covered under warranty? Maybe I didn't understand what you said.

I love my softtopper. I use it interchangeably with my trifold hard tonneau and it takes 15 minutes for one person to take off, 20 minutes to put on the softtopper. I use it for my dogs too and they love it. I even put some lights and a small swamp AC for them back there for the Cali summer. I...

Thanks for all the responses. I see the issue with my comment: what I meant to say was "...with wireless Carplay being used for the dash you're able to charge your phone wirelessly with the magsafe charger..." What I see is that with wireless AA my Android phone discharges at a higher rate than...

Almost forgot any the second mod I worked on simultaneously. Took inspiration from this post about adding 12v power outlets to the bed. Had to make some mods as I decided to add the outlets inside the cubby rather than in the door, so I could still open the door and use the cubby for storage...

Another simple but highly effective mod that I worked on this last Sunday afternoon. Took inspiration from this post about installing bed lights. I had to tweak it a bit for my drop in liner, and I wired it to the bed light that came with the XLT (or is it part of the lux package?) so now the...

Yeah that's what I figured. But you're saying with wireless Carplay you're able to charge your phone wirelessly, right?

Nice nifty solution and use of the cubby. I love DIYers. Question on the wireless charger though: 1. I am an Android person 2. I have a XLT so no wireless Android Auto (AA) and no wireless charger 3. I installed a wireless adapter that uses Bluetooth I think to communicate with the dash system...

I got the dual tone ones and they look smashing! See my post for pictures. Build thread

I'm so interested in understanding your setup!!! Do you have your build documented? Can you fit all 3 pups in that crate?
