That makes two of us. I thought that the hood insulation was a cop out, and yes I'd also like an engine cover too. All to save a few cents on manufacturing costs, and increase revenue. I think that they want $400 bucks for the hood insulation, that's highway robbery.

That’s a very good point you bring up regarding both the direct and port injection Toyota uses on this engine and carbon build up in rings and intake ports. Often overlooked by those who may not understand I’m all the nonsense (my feelings) around direct injection engines. I, for one, am not a...

It's a noisy 4 cylinder engine. I wouldn't worry about it. Few things to consider, 1) Modern engines are noisy, especially fuel injectors, 2)My truck (maybe yours too?) didn't come with any sound insulation on the hood, 3)Toyota doesn't further provide engine noise insulation with an engine...

Exactly, I'm sitting @ just under 10K with one of the fault VIN's, and mine's been running like a friggen champ. In fact, had no issues racing all the idiots down from Sunrise point on i-17 this evening with this thing. Seems like a lot of salty peeps out there, I'm very content with mine.

Live here Phoenix, and most of the regular trails around the area are pretty mild. Did you happen to try Broken Arrow? That would have given you a little bit of offroading fun vs Schnebly Hill Road, etc. If you come back, I can recommend more. There are quite tough trails, but I don't prefer...

Those are pretty significant gains with just an airbox redesign.

I think my thoughts mirror yours, I'd say that I'm a first-time Tacoma owner as well, although the last one I owned was a '98 4 Runner, so maybe new in the sense that it's been 25 years. Since then I've had a ton of different vehicles, cars, and trucks. I have the Offroad Model, base - not the...

I like those wheel's, they look good on your truck. I'll wait until my tires are worn, and look for a set of those as take-off's.

Interesting, mine appears to be affected based on the documentation. However, I have just over 8K on mine, and it's been behaving properly.

Just returned recently from a 5K trip from my home here in Phoenix, to Lousiana, Flordia, Missisipi, then from there up to the 40 to Angel Fire, NM (above Taos) @ 8800 feet. The truck was phenonimal on the highway, rarely downshifting to climb hills on the highway @ 75-85mph. Once in NM, I had a...

I'm a newbie as well, but I've got about 8k on my Tacoma. I noticed that the engine seemed kind of noisy while new to me as well, but it's definitely quieted down since new. I believe that's the injectors that are making that noise. Anyhow I have the regular TRD Off-Road, so not the premium, and...

Unfortunately, today's automotive manufacturers seem to be producing a lot of lemons if you read into all of the recalls. I think the bean counters are to blame, along with their ignorance in attempting to shaft the public during covid, becoming greedy. Now they are having to reel their a$$'s...

Thought I'd share since it may be this will likely be a point of contention for some of us.

A vehicle is disposable, but I'm sure you are more than thankful to be still walking and talking and without major injuries (hopefully nothing else will crop up in time)! Did you ever receive feedback on why the other driver crossed the lane. I'm just reaching here, but I suppose it's not a long...

I like yours vs what Rough Country is currently offering. I'll check them out when I return from vacation. Thanks for sharing!

I actually like the Nissan Frontier, and hope that it does well. It's a good-looking vehicle, and it should be very reliable in the long run, although I'm surprised -- on some level, that someone mentioned that a relative was having problems with the transmission in their new Frontier. I guess...

I too like both white and black cars, but truth be told, I've had more white cars over the years now than black. White, to me, seems to be an easy color to where I dont have to worry about washing it a lot, and it really doesnt look dirty when it's dirty -- sure you know what I mean by that...

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, unfortunate to say the least. Would you mind sharing the dealer that you purchased from? They sound like a decent dealership. I live in Phoenix, and I've not owned a Toyota in close to 30 years now and I don't trust most of the automotive dealerships here in...

Yes, I've noticed it moving around. The oil pressure is not constant but operates under a variable-speed oil pump. Similar to my '21 Silverado. Anyhow, I'd prefer to see the actual PSI, rather than a rising or lowering of a bar graph. I like to monitor the oil pressure constantly, but the way...

I agree with the others, parts availability has nothing to do with the actual vehicle, this is a typical manufacturer issue in that vehicles coming off of the assembly line have priority over anything else. I won't say I agree with this logic but it is what it is. I had a similar thing happen...
