Warranty Work Beware – True Story of Unethical Dealer
When Toyota sends out a warranty notice like a technical service bulletin, most owners assume a dealer will simply fix the problem.

Try to use an online configurator to build a similar type of half-ton pickup today and you’ll find yourself completely out of luck.
This dusty-looking old photo of a manual transmission full-size truck maybe the only reminder that stick shifts used to be commonplace in trucks.
