Pre COVID work from home order, my wife did her 14 mile 1 way commute R/T 100% on EV with our Outlander PHEV. (summer) Batteries still have the cold temperature & range operating issue, nearly half in our winters has been our experience. Since March 2020 her vehicle doesn't get many miles, but...

The T-100 was engineered and assembled in Japan for the NA market and I assume subject to the 25% chicken tax for USA, Tundra is 75% +/- American parts and assembled in USA.

As a 2018 PHEV owner with a 2.0l, I'd wait for the 2.4l.

Very unclear to me what MY the C-R programmer was implemented. I think MY2010. Perhaps the MUT-III software and related interface cable is all that is needed for the Gen 3. I am looking for 2 specific things. 1. turn off the TPMS light on the dash, and 2. implement factory fogs as DLR & all...

20 hours of super good sun, that is 3 to 4 days - so if you can get by on 6ah of power a day, in reality this sounds like a terrible deal for $450.

Has anyone used ETACS programming software that could give a recommendation? Specifically 2005 Montero Limited. I am looking at this one: https://etacsdecoder.com/download/mut-3-bridge/
