  1. List of Unsold 2024 Tacoma Affected by the Transmission TSB as of 11/22/24

    It's not 1/2 a percent of what's been sold so far, and the surprise to me is mine made in June and delivered July 15 is not in the VIN range. I assumed most would be sold through already.
  2. Is the intermittent wiper timing adjustment right?

    Same as our Sienna but opposite our other Japanese brand and German car.
  3. BIGGEST COMPLAINT - Excessive Dusty Interior

    From usually cleaning 2-3 vehicles in same day or close, the 2024 Tacoma interior gets dusty at same rate as our completely different brands and vehicle types. Of course gets dirtier when I'm in trail builder mode/tasks that are off road, or traveling near the cabin on unpaved roads with a...
  4. Trailhunter owners: 5ft vs 6ft bed decision?

    Answering someone who thought my long bed looked more like a real truck I said, no, that was my Kenworth. Most funny with that theme was several times our minivan saved the day for people with 5 and 5.5 ft bed pickups. Thinking back to my first pickup a 1971 C20, they've changed into 2 markets...
  5. I don’t understand the hype

    That is maybe the hardest to understand within your complaints. I definitely made sure I followed break in period instructions but right away and in test rides the performance was as good or better than competitors and especially in normal mode vs eco. It is a light truck of body on frame type...
  6. I don’t understand the hype

    Our Toyota car and two vans had fantastic resale premium in addition to few problems just like our 4x4 experience. If each time was paying $1000 - $3000 more up front, the resale with overall lack of problems was like getting $3000 to $10,000+ payback. None of 5 Toyotas has had the $ up to...
  7. I don’t understand the hype

    Not sure what else to say except for these seem like discoveries and gripes about stuff we had figured out well before making the purchase, and from testing the competition with plenty of alternatives. Our CarPlay battery use seems same for the same apps, and the wireless charging is much like...
  8. 4th gen with kids?

    I think I made a post here about 400 miles and a weekend in back seat. Our kids are older and said they're really glad we didn't do something like that to them at any age. It's like a low dollar airline seat too steep but with even less foot room. It won't take long for it to be small for those...
  9. Trailhunter owners: 5ft vs 6ft bed decision?

    It doesn't matter which model and we considered basic through halos, the 5 ft bed was useless for me. They can't carry what my minivan did. If I put a ladder or other test things at an angle it blew other space. That said, my pickup won't fit in our garage. How people use these really varies...
  10. 285/70/17 or 285/75/17 better for Wescott pre collar lift (2.5inch) on 2024 Tacoma SR5 4x4?

    If you apply your money towards a TRD OR you would have the electric locker that can be all-important plus some other features that are really nice. In my experience as a former guide, trail builder and ski area crew I have seen and see people do stuff that looks cosmetic and there have been...
  11. 6 ft bed mat - my DIY 6x4 rubber bed mat

    I relate. For a 1990s pickup I cut down a mat. It meant you were not stepping on the ribs, didn't slip like a liner could be or like the TPU plastic products. For now I've been using the cardboard - big pieces - from the box my Fas-Top came in and while hardly long-term durable or waterproof it...
  12. Softopper for 4th Gen Tacoma with 6’ bed to be available in in a few months

    On "the best".... I understand Softopper to be really good but the longer I have the Fast-Top, the more I would not want to give up its versatility. If I recall they have a patent or trademark so likely why no other brands with the all in one and easy off for all idea.
  13. Rear shaking on 2024 TRD Off-Road Tacoma

    Something is not right if all that has been done. I'm seriously impressed with just how good my same model is at speed loaded and unloaded. Having been through stuff like this before..... I don't know if the wheels on a '24 are hub or lug-centric. Sometimes a place doesn't have the right gear...
  14. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    Good to know but there's still no ordering from Toyota themselves, and it seemed the same when we had interest in both the Maverick and Ranger. The Ford dealers also spoke of they get what they can get but maybe their buyers' departments can actually make custom orders. We spent about 2 years...
  15. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    There's a lot neat about the Maverick outside of its craptacular crash ratings, but when we tested it and the Santa Cruz things we had in back of our minivan and Outback would not fit in them. The to me no good 5 and 5.5 ft beds on mid and full-sized pickups were bad too. IIRC Maverick was only...
  16. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    I guess do what makes you happy. In my mind they are not comparable vehicles. One is a light truck and the other a car shaped like a pickup truck. One achieves IIHS top safety pick while the Ford gets two marginal ratings for the most important test categories. If the Maverick can suit your...
  17. JBL speaker does the job

    This pic was to illustrate my Fas-Top tonneau and topped all in one when I was tweaking the initial setup at the cabin but there's the first time I realized the speaker is not such a gimmick (sitting against window). Two months later everything looks more used but I like the all of it - the...
  18. Apple Carplay Problems.

    Watch that screen that will list your phone and might say it is not connected. If an iPhone be mindful of WiFi enabled. Removing some of the phones that were set up seems to improve this but reality is this vehicle firmware really shows signs if an update needed. Beyond my experience already...
  19. Discovered an annoying safety feature

    Our family member killed had much experience as a first responder and a good record. His Ford pickup had only had ABS. The road rage or aggressive driver and municipal worker who killed him didn't have that technology. That's an extreme example of how others should have the tech too. My niece...
  20. Discovered an annoying safety feature

    What data do you have to support that idea? It contradicts the findings with so much of the fleet now having AEB, adaptive cruise, and other safety technology. A really interesting aspect is how it has been market driven vs a regulation or law. Other firms jumped on to what was successful with...
