Well here I am going in to my second month of ownership with my new 2015 Platinum. When I purchased the truck I worked the TRD skid plate, exhaust and sway bar in to the deal.
So this weekend I was finishing up my lift with the Differential drop. In order to do this I needed to drop the TRD skid plate. In doing so my first disappointment was pulling off the tow hooks only to find that Toyota did not deem it necessary to fully e-coat the tow hooks which allows for rust to begin immediately on them. So I had to strip them down, prime and repaint them. So while I was at it a color change was in order. But that did not take away from my disappointment.
The next big item was finding a pool of oil on my skid plate. Which if it were from an oil change I wouldn't be so pissed. But its not. Mind you the truck is 4 weeks old with 2100 miles on it, so I am extremely disappointed with oil pooling. It appears to be coming from around the transmission bell housing, I would say rear main seal, but it is not only coming from the oil drip hole in the transmission bell housing, it is also coming from the drivers side of the transmission.
3rd fun one is my HVAC mode doors are not working. When you have it set for the floor it comes out the dash outlets.
So out of the gate I am already having quality issues. So much for Toyota reliability.
