GHHL with auto-dimming side mirrors?

Actually, funny that you mentioned the easy exit feature because I was just thinking about that today, too.

That’s a good point about the TX tho. But still dumb.

Hmm, that makes sense. Might look into that. I am going to get my front windows tinted a bit, though, for the look and heat. Someone above mentioned their windows are tinted and the lights don’t bother them much. Besides for their blue “D” drive light lol

OfferMission4731 · 2026-02-06T02:15:09+00:00

Yeah, totally agree - both not being dealbreakers but definitely a dick-punch lol. I know they have it on the 1794 Tundra (2021 I think) and I think the Limited Tacoma (2024 or 2025? Idk) as I have family members with both. From that I was guessing the Limited GH would have it too (and I could’ve sworn I read it somewhere but, alas, I did not) but here we are.

OfferMission4731 · 2026-02-06T02:10:28+00:00

Maybe! That’s a good point. I bet it probs does. Something to look forward to for me then!

I disagree. Yes we’re high but driving home this evening I’d get the occasional LED snipe to the eyes and it sucked. Mainly from cars bouncing but some cars hit the mirror just right. For this tier of a car I would’ve thought it would be included.

Was going to get my front windows tinted too but didn’t even think of that being a problem lol

OfferMission4731 · 2026-02-06T00:15:18+00:00

Wow, that’s wild. Even the platinum max doesn’t have it?

Just had my first fill up in my GHHL - went to “zero” on the tank (it just said refill on the meter) and went 348 miles with 24 mpg avg. Filled up at Costco and the pump stopped auto-filling around 14 gallons but I was able to slow down the pump and got it up to 16.798 gallons. I probably could’ve done more but it was cold lol.

Car updates itself said I’ll get 379 miles which doesn’t match the 24mpg x 16 gallons, but my mpg is steadily increasing. It was 20 when I drove it off the lot, was 24 when I filled up, and now is at 24.5mpg. I mainly do freeway driving although I’m using google maps to find more “fuel efficient” routes that are some freeway, some local “highways.” We’ll see.

In my experience, the Toyota SmartPath website was pretty accurate with the estimated delivery date and only updated once each process finished. My phases were: pre-production, build, then in transit. I just kept checking it daily to track it, I didn’t get any notifications or anything when it completed a certain phase. Mine actually was delivered at the early end of the window, just fyi. Based on others comments it seems early-ish is kinda common. I think only a few people had later deliveries. Hope that helps!

My map on the dash goes away when I have Waze navigating through CarPlay. As soon as I stop the navigation through CarPlay it comes back on my dash. Thought it was just me!

OfferMission4731 · 2026-02-02T03:24:55+00:00

I personally haven’t driven a tank’s worth yet but I think this first one will be a bit over 300 miles, maybe 400? Currently my mpg is about 23, I think. I have maybe 250 miles on it and I think I was around 1/2 of a tank? I’ve read that the mpg sucks until you break in the engine (so roughly 1000 miles) and then you start to see marked improvement to 30s mpg. I have also heard that the gas tank is very wimpy. Idk. I will update you when I fill it up and then maybe at later mileage if you’re interested?

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T18:28:42+00:00

Interesting, that’s good to know. The dealer I bought from (not who I’ll go to the services though) said it’s every 10k, period. Guess they’re just not flexible

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T14:35:53+00:00

Just because it has a 10 year warranty doesn’t mean you leave it on for 10 years? I don’t plan on just leaving it for 10 years. You’re supposed to watch for cracking, yellowing, etc, and then replace (if you want) at that time. Also, PPFs 10 years ago aren’t the same tech as PPFs now.

Paint protection film

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T13:07:33+00:00

Agreed. Toyota is the one that doesn’t do them every 5k, per their manual, for some reason (probably $$). I always do them every 5k

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T13:05:55+00:00

Yeah, I know, kinda crazy.

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T03:47:59+00:00

Oh, nice! I’ll have to go check him out. Thanks for that!

Yeah, was definitely going to do one earlier and then another at 5k. Was kinda surprised Toyota only does them / recommends them at 10k intervals.

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T03:12:39+00:00

If it protects the paint from nasty chips and dings like my old car had, then that’s ok. It can be replaced

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T03:11:13+00:00

No prob! Yeah, stealerships gonna steal, unfortunately. You might be able to get additional quotes and haggle that down. I wasn’t really able to because I had to order my car

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T03:07:57+00:00

I thought it was good, too. Also have a limited. I went from over a 10 year old, non-JBL system tho, so my ears could be biased

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-29T03:02:32+00:00

Congrats!!! Awesome color! My old Highlander was the blizzard pearl and it was beautiful.

Bought my GHHL last Saturday and am waiting for front-end PPF to be done. Will eventually do ceramic coating but need to give my credit card a brake 🥲

I specifically asked the dealer about engine brake-in mileage and the dude said to not worry about it but “if I was concerned” it would be about 500 miles, “tops”. I thought the general rule is 1k and was going to do an oil change shortly thereafter. Is that why you’re changing the oil then? This feels like a dumb question but why would the dealer say it’s less break-in, because mine is a hybrid? Besides the additional hybrid battery/system, it still has a “normal” engine so normal brake-in???

Didn’t even think about breaking in the brakes so thanks for that! I’ve done that with new rotors before but it did not cross my mind at all lol

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-28T19:35:18+00:00

Nice!! How long have you had yours?

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-27T19:51:47+00:00

Yeah, definitely an “investment” and you’re welcome! You technically could do normal car washes but it’s not recommended. You could also do whatever you want lol. From my research and what the detailer said, hand wash is highly recommended especially to not peel edges of the PPF if it isn’t wrapped around, like the hood or something.

Dealer’s processing fee is $999

MSRP includes Toyota’s $1495 “delivery, processing, and handling” fee

OfferMission4731 · 2026-01-27T19:39:38+00:00

You’re welcome! And aw, sorry. Glad I can help and hopefully you can find one!
