    2 Solar Octanes in the Wild

    My wife has the candy apple red Camry she waited 20+ years for. No way would she let that Octane in the same garage. Silver is ok. but I wanted solar octane.😬

    Zekzoop Rain Guards

    I've used WeatherTech in channel shades in at least 4 rigs over the years. Never heard of yours.

    Things that should be standard no-brainer things Toyota didn't do for all Trim levels

    #'s 5 and 7 followed by 1 for me. That locked tailgate with my tonneau cover is a pain when I have to go back into the house to get the fob. A serviceable size gas tank in an off road vehicle is a must. Requiring us to carry extra gas cans isn't cool. A larger gas tank will be my next...

    2025 Tacoma Prices Released. Price Cuts on TRD Pro and Trailhunter

    I agree. That moon roof feature is a waste; has absolutely no value to me. Had one in a '19, didn't use it at all so didn't buy the package this year because of it. Kinda like the useless dealer add-ons.

    Wrench with chime at startup?

    Looks like Carista does a lot for a fee. My only issue is the seat belt ding when I don't need it. I use the tikit (Thetikit.com) to shut it off for a very few $ once. Dog in the passenger seat, groceries, constantly opening gates, or getting in and out to shoot pictures or varmints in the back...

    Carista OBD2

    At times when the seat belt ding needs to be off I use The Tikit (from Thetikit.com). For a very few $ they work perfectly. Dog in the passenger seat, groceries, constantly opening gates or getting out to shoot varmints or pictures. Don't buy just one, you'll be giving it away or a friend will...

    4 ply or 10 ply?

    I ran 10 ply's on my '19 Taco OR after ripping out a side wall on the OEM 4 ply's in the back country. The ride and noise were not an issue, but the mileage did drop some. I'm old now and don't plan on going into those areas any more so the 4 ply's are great. Have noticed a drop in mileage with...

    18 inch wheel stock to a 17 inch aftermarket?

    Talk to your service manager or the parts guy at your dealership - or one you trust if that's an issue.

    Truck cover - best recommendations?

    I had an OEM back-flip style on my 2019 TRD OR and it leaked a lot. The similar one for the '24 TRD OR long box had some obvious improvements so I bought it. It fits much tighter with a few seeps.

    West Coast Road Trip Report in '2024 Tacoma Off-Road Long Bed

    Next time you pass thru OR and see a truck scale on the rural highways with no one around, zip in and weigh yourself. Most are on 24/7, it's a public service, very helpful, free and accurate. ODOT just rebuilt the scales' platforms and approaches outside of John Day and Burns.

    Class action lawsuit filed for transmission issues

    When my tranny failed, the service mgr at the dealership read the codes, called the engineers as directed and gave me a rental. When the new tranny came in she would not install it until a new torque converter was delivered. 7600 miles later, 1000 of those towing a trailer, and its doing fine.

    OEM Tonneau Cover leaking 😱

    Randyg, I had the OEM cover installed by a dealership. Gotta say it works better than the others I've had, that said it does not leak as badly as yours. The front corners have small holes that couldn't be plugged because of the design are my biggest culprits, but I've not had water on the...

    TRD OR STOCK TIRES PSI - OMGGGG

    A friend and I bought from two different dealers. His TRD Sport and my OR both had 48 PSI tires. Dropped them to 35 and enjoyed the ride a lot more. Guess we should have complained, but just fixed it it.

    TSB: 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures Issue & Replacement (9/9/24). Updated w/ VIN Lookup Tool

    I don't want to spread unnecessary concern, just my experience. Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but most of my driving was in the "Eco" mode and got 19 mpg +/-. Since replacing the transmission I've run in "normal" and have been getting 23 - 25 routinely.

    Rust on the seat from metal underneath

    I'm sorry you had that experience. My "sales team" was weak, but the service mgr and that part of the dealership went, and has continued to go above and beyond. No BS, no smoke and mirrors, no excuses. If it ain't right they look for a solution. It has made my purchase good.

    TSB: 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures Issue & Replacement (9/9/24). Updated w/ VIN Lookup Tool

    The only thing that really stood out was poor MPG's. A friend bought a similar TRD and was consistently getting 3 to 5 mpg better than I was. One afternoon I stopped at a red light, when it changed, my rig wouldn't move. I ran the shift selector from D to P and all other stops with no movement...

    TSB: 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures Issue & Replacement (9/9/24). Updated w/ VIN Lookup Tool

    tankk69 - I am new to this forum but had my transmission go out at 2500 mi. In looking at an earlier TSB the first letters were different in some of the affected VIN's. The numbers varied with those first letters as well. Bottom line, my impression is the whole string is important. BTW it took...
