  • I guess, the word got out, or the economy got bad enough where suddenly lots of folks are doing it? Or the easiness of fencing the tailgates on social media is encouraging folks who wouldn’t know how to sell a catalytic converter to get into the “steal components” game? Not totally sure!

    I am sure that it’s newly cropping up as a common problem. It’s all over the Tacoma subreddit, even the news is covering it (local news in Alameda covered a chop-shop bust that was targeting Tacomas specifically, and that was like, 2 days ago).

    So yeah, I’m as mystified as you are. I explained the removable tailgate concept just for folks who maybe never drove a pickup truck or the many folks who don’t use that feature.

    (Edit: and thanks for the dealership insights! I never drove any F-Series other than the F-150, so I had no idea how the heavy duty models handled tailgate features)







  • I’d bet dollars to donuts it’s the free trial for SiriusXM.

    When this happened on Jeep vehicles, an apparent Stellantis employee responded on a thread about it. Here’s what they said:

    “Thank you for tagging us and we are certainly sorry to hear of the frustration this has caused you. At this time, we advise that customers click the large [X] in the corner to close out and clear stored notifications from the vehicle. It should also be noted that ads are part of your contractual agreement with Sirius XM, but we are working on the frequency. Thank you for your patience.”

    Lol, they still haven’t “worked on” the frequency 534 days later.
