Engine Fire Risk Forces Recall of 2016–2018 Toyota Prius | Electrical Wire Harness

If you’re wondering what fueled the explosion of coal-rolling, lifted diesel pickups over the past few years, take a good look at this truck. Ram will now sell you a pickup with 400 hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque in factory trim. One thousand. That number can only be bested by the likes of the Bugatti Chiron, and it is part of the recipe that lets the truck tow up to 31,500 pounds. That’s seven Chirons and their well-moneyed occupants.

The lamps are hardly dangerously dim on straight stretches of road. Curves do leave something to be desired, however, but the lights objectively provide good seeing distance down the right side of the road.

Digitization is an integral aspect of modern vehicle technology. With each successive generation, the implementation of electronic technology continues to rise. Vehicles are full of electronics such as engine control systems, driver assistance systems and media centers. These electronic technologies are constantly advancing, as seen with the rise of the “connected car” and the emergence of autonomous driving.

I’m dubious that your discussion of frames, insulation from tires, etc. has any pertinence or validity whatsoever however in the face of the large potential differences involved in a lightning strike. You might want to rethink that one or get an expert to comment on it.— Rick

Please don’t “overlamp” your vehicle and blind others…some of these bulbs produce horrid bluish light…they create horrid glare.

Have to admit that while I found the sound quality from the Nakamichi equipment in the 1980s to be the best bar none, the headunit reliability was not Toyota like. Several failures were had…but when working, wow. Nothing in the cassette era sounded better. The head azimuth adjustment made sure you got everything out of that tape. While the tape deck aspect is no longer relevant anymore, every other aspect still is.

Replace the Speakers: you bought the best 1-DIN receiver for your phone, but now the speakers shall suck. Even when not sunbeaten, original speakers are usually outclassed by the junkiest options available online. No need to cut holes in door cards, replace the factory speakers with same-size aftermarkets. I am kinda hooked on the quality and value in Polk Audio’s DB+ Series, but that level of modest upgrade is available elsewhere. Just read the spec sheets (frequency response, etc) online.

• LEDs don’t safely or effectively go in place of halogen bulbs, whether it’s in headlamps or fog lamps (also, fog lamps should be turned off just about 100% of the time; see http://bit.ly/2ZpOD7G .)
