  1. Fog Lights: Essential or Outdated? Let’s Chat About Winter Visibility!🌟

    My TRD OR fog lights are better than expected and the headlights overall very good too. While one can aim the headlights low, the fog lights are aimed low where they complement headlights and put more light sideways. Not only all quite effective but not so that other motorists are bothered.
  2. Interested in a Car Camping Kitchen? We Need Your Input!

    I would not completely have it out of mind but with so many products these days I still stick with stuff that's been proven for decades or generations. For several years I was a guide and doing up to months a year of adventure, river running, back country and skiing. Everything I need fits into...
  3. First 2024 Lemon? Toyota repurchased my Tacoma after low mileage transmission failure.

    Do I understand this as four different Tacoma pickup trucks across two generations were all unsatisfactory to you? What is going on and how long that Toyota is not taking care of your 4th gen transmission?
  4. Best A/T tires for snow - Ko3's or Ridge Grapplers?

    3PMSF rating is all important for snow performance. Tires too wide and too blocky or without a lot of sipes have been less than ideal for me in winter. My strategy here is to start the ski season with my OEM Trail-Terrain TA and if not happy right away get the 3PMSF version. It not only has a...
  5. Bilstein products - any news yet?

    They already make the OEM Bilstein with their "ESCV" valving and external reservoir. My TRD OR has them and they are good. I'm not an off road hobbyist with vehicles but am off road often with trail work. They are good for bigger hits and bumps same time they're good for highway use.
  6. Soft tonneau cover with forward access?

    I sort of have that with my Fas-Top Traveler (the all in one) model. When the soft topper is up there is forward and side access.
  7. Truck cover - best recommendations?

    I'm not sure what you mean here - bed cap, tonneau, or an over vehicle tarp or cover for storage. There are good posts here from people who got the different options out there and some good photos. In my case I am still happy with the decision to get a Fas-Top Traveler model for my TRD OR long...
  8. Class action lawsuit filed for transmission issues

    I'm not sure where the "so many" are or the shame you mention considering Toyota has stood behind the product, has published VINs, and already made efforts to fix the manufacturing problem. It is a problem for sure but not looking like the many cases or poor history of the auto industry in...
  9. Anyone have the Soft Tonneau Cover Part #PT954-35242 with their truck?

    Sorry, no, but I keep getting reminders from associates with other tonneau setups on how I like my decision to get a Fas-Top. There's nothing too special about the tonneau cover itself but it sure is sweet when I've had a full topper as needed, and still have an open bed pickup.
  10. West Coast Road Trip Report in '2024 Tacoma Off-Road Long Bed

    Thank you for sharing. This is especially helpful for my putting off a tent topper and all my considerations. You confirmed my being certain the weight and costs would add up including the purchases such as springs and the fuel consumption. For a while I really need my pickup as an open bed...
  11. Can I have the hour back it took to find out these seat covers are crap?

    I got SRS compatible simple covers. The plastic molding on the seats said SRS so I assumed it was like another vehicle we had where you are not supposed to cover that. I went with an as needed setup. What I got might not fit everyone's aesthetic but I'm super happy. They not only work well but...
  12. AT&T data plan and hotspot

    This is an individual matter. In my case Verizon is a far superior carrier where I spend most of my time so I hotspot my phone. For any paid cellular services start with the carrier best for where you are and go. I also disabled all the communication per the sticker that comes on the dashboard...
  13. TFL comments on Toyota issues

    They did have a what's going on Chevy video too, and this week's automotive news points out the Tacoma sales are up now ahead of the Maverick which was summer news.
  14. Rust on the seat from metal underneath

    My sentiments likely helped by our 2020 vehicle purchase, fleet and rentals use, much shopping, and the experiences of some other associates. Associates who got competitors have imperfect vehicles too. A close associate's GM has the bed as offset as my Tacoma and I've seen many others that way...
  15. Rust on the seat from metal underneath

    FWIW, I did not look under the seat of my Tacoma, but my wife's German car has had corrosion like in places you would not think, but it also did not get worse in time.
  16. Rust on the seat from metal underneath

    For mentioning a lawyer, my advice is to not use them when it is inappropriate or when you want your best chance for a situation to have a positive outcome. Consumer and warranty law as well as lemon laws are very settled areas. Engaging with an attorney means be on guard if not fight...
  17. Question for GFC and Lonepeak owners

    I stated can be. You can see both for sale. The version not 3PMSF rated still gets good comments for winter driving which is part of while I'll give it a chance. Tire decisions will be much easier for me than getting a tent topper. My still hesitating on the tent topper is nothing against them...
  18. Question for GFC and Lonepeak owners

    Your post made me smile a little - I did not know the "broverlander" term. When I first got my pickup some guys at trailhead could not believe I was throwing tools in brand new pickup and on a rough trail access. I've pulled out of trail system to trailhead and a guy with a gen 3 all decked out...
  19. Question for GFC and Lonepeak owners

    I remain undecided on the tent/wedge toppers but am getting to 4000 miles with diverse use now. Even using my pickup a TRD OR off road fairly often I would not want larger or less road friendly wheels and tires setup so you mentioning daily driver stands out. I'm not meaning this as Trail Hunter...
  20. New Competition - 2026 Scout EV Pickup Shape Revealed

    The company Ford and Rivian I'm familiar with equal or beat the range of my 2024 Tacoma. Even where the EVs might be shy of my Tacoma range they don't waste the time I do at gas stations. They start the day full, and can charge at or near most of their destinations. Now that I see the pickup...
