    Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

    I use very little brake pressure. I do use the paddle shifters approaching all red lights and only brake from 1st or second gear. Have used this method for more than 25-30 years. Never had to replaced any brake components or had transmission problems. Hold most vehicles ten years.

    Trying to decide on GX550 vs. LC.

    Appointment lc available at a number of dealers . 70 - 80 thousand for a Toyota is a huge stretch.. 4 cyl turbo engine on 5500 pound vehicle.. Time will tell. But some dealers are now below msrp. And lots of highly optioned machines are accumulating in the distribution system.. 4cy turbo 5500...

    Dreaded "Toyota Lean?"

    Or parts supplier spec is not being confirmed before factory use of parts.. Every 6 cylinder twin turbo not being recalled by Toyota.. Only 120,000.. So some specific parts VS all. .. Doesn't mean it's not potentially a lemon Or not..

    Dreaded "Toyota Lean?"

    Just because they all do it does not mean it's not a lemon.. BTW who comes up with the specs.. Let's remember pintos met spec.. And I would argue all are lemons Corvair perhaps the same So just because it "meets spec" or they all do it does not mean it's not a lemon or defective.. .
