30 miles on the odometer and already thrilled with the improvements over Gen3! Not enough mileage yet to comment on the manual transmission. Iām playing around with shifting speed, iMT on/off, etc but Iām not yet getting on it until itās broken in. Iām also noting all the quirks and features (as...
Took delivery on my manual off road yesterday! Iāve put a total of 8 miles on it so far and Iām not disappointed compared to my 2016 Sport Manual and 23 Pro manual. Itās getting tint/paint protection until tomorrow but Iāll get more time on it this weekend!
Some fresh pics from the dealer before finally rolling onto the trailer to head home! Wheels/tires were supposed to go on tomorrow but one wheel arrived damaged. Stay tuned until next week for the wheel reveal!
The dealer provides those screen shots/photos. Wish we had direct access to that info! There is a 3rd party website that gives you basic info too: www.toyota-tracker.com
0 offset on these trucks with that tire size/rim width will have a lot of āpokeā - about 2ā or so of tire poking out from the fender. If you browse through other threads there are some examples is this. If you like a lot of tire poking out from the fenders you are good to go. If you prefer the...
You are right, I looked again on the Toyota website and they call it black/smoke silver. I was confusing their interior options. Apparently black and white is black cloth with white dash accents. So it was indeed built as specified. Iāll update my first post.
I'm going with 17x8.5 Method wheels with +25mm offset. From other build threads this size/offset should work very well. I'll reveal what wheel i went with when they are mounted up next week :)
I got them from Tire Rack. Discount tire also carries them. They only carry two sizes (285/70R17 is the size that works well with the Tacoma). From the other build threads, this tire should fit with no rub on stock suspension.
It was slated to arrive at the dealer 3/24 - 3/19 but arrived today. I put a deposit on the allocation on 1/12/24
This was last update I was given last week then to my surprise it was here today!
My š® arrived a week EARLY at the dealer today from Guanajuato! Two weeks from the time it was put on the train until delivery to the dealership!
Includes Upgrade package, sunroof, 14ā multimedia upgrade. They changed up the interior from the build sheet to Black/white.
Arranging shipment (9hrs...
Build Update (9 April 2024)
š® Tuesday update!
Derped the front emblem! Was hoping to track down the black overlay from Toyota but itās not yet available. I had a can of Plastidip laying around so decided to black it out! Five coats plus a top layer of glossifier and it turned out great! So...
Congrats! Excellent write up and thanks for discussing shift points, Rev hang, and iMT. I have been waiting (impatiently) for someone to actually speak to iMT on vs off, this really answers all the questions Iāve had!
My manual TRD Off Road arrives next week! Iāll be sure to do a similar write...
My Bronze Oxide TFD Off Road Manual is on the way to the dealership arriving by March 28! They certainly are rare! I'm purchasing from 9 hours away to get Bronze Oxide (and manual).
Awesome! Iām on the fence between this exact wheel/tire set up or KO3s with Bronze Method 318 (40mm offset though) for my Bronze Oxide TRD off road coming in a couple weeks. 703s donāt look as good in Bronze but they look great in black!
All TRD Off Road and Sport Tacomas come with the side badge in black. The blackout kit includes the front emblem, tail pipe, and the black Tacoma letter inserts for the tailgate.
