  Is there anyone out there having a problem with their radio volume? I have a 2007 Tundra double cab eight foot bed. When I get into the truck, it is a gamble if the volume knob will work. I emailed Toyota to see if there was a recall on this problem. I have a friend who also owns a 2007 Tundra. He had to take his in for the same reason, ... Read More

What you will notice is that it will rev higher on the high end. I always assumed people got those catbacks ... Read More
