I have meat cooler/fridge in my trailer that runs on a 10,000 btu air conditioner (similar size to a small rv air conditioner). It requires a 15 amp circuit to handle peak compressor startup surge but normally consumes much less power.
I ran it on the 2400W outlet in the bed. It ran on battery...
I got the weight distribution dialed in today.
With the new hitch, it handle the roads / highway almost as well as my previous Ram 3500. The 1 ton had enough power you barely noticed the trailer accelerating from a stop. With the Tacoma, accelerating is (as expected) noticeably different.
I'm...
Do any trims come with gas tank protection?
Thats a pretty big target under the truck.
Any experience with how much of a hit those tanks can take?
Looks like it'll take some abuse.
Can an oil change be done with the Trail Hunter skid plate without removing it ?
If not, maybe a small hole could be added for a funnel to sit in... Not sure if you can reach around to loosen the filter and drain bolt.
Here is a PPF template i used for the door cups.
They are about 4.25" on the short side so i used a 6" roll.
They're normally hard to see but i chose the light for this pic so you can see the lines.
Ideally this one would be 1/16" lower.
Door cups are kinda a pain. If you're an amateur like me...
Would the TPMS figure out which tires are active if there are 5 sensors (1 inactive)?
I have the limited (full time 4wd). Im assuming tire rotations every 4000 miles would not cause a problem as there would be minimal wear difference.
Picked it up Friday.

Dislikes
- Felt "skid" plate
- Chrome wheels (they're actually very nice but im not into chrome wheels)
- Rear seat not designed to flip up to load larger items in back. If you remove the trim...
Im tempted to a get a roll of 3M PPF from amazon then cut to fit and apply to the hardest hit areas of the truck.
Ive done some vinyl wrap before but never PPF.
Seems to me the Toyota PPF options dont get some of the spots i want covered (rear panel / fender).
Thoughts?
Anyone switch from a full size truck to tacoma ?
Whats your experience ?
I'm a bit nervous to trade in my 3500 for a tacoma. It just looks so much smaller. I no longer need the massive towing ability so smaller makes sense.
The ride and offroad capabilities will be much better.
Just curious...
Can someone confirm the factory wheel specs for the Limited ?
18 x 8 with 60 offset maybe ?
Would the hybrid be the same ?
The rest is the same as other trims.

I always used to get the darker color in vehicles thinking it would be easier to keep clean. Or more precisely hides dirt better cause im definitely not a clean freak.
But i like the look of Boulder softex and maybe it keeps the interior cooler in summer.
Anyone have any experience with...
This Edmunds review compares the seating position from 3rd gen to 4th gen.
I took a couple images and drew some lines over each seating position then olverlayed the 3rd gen over the 4th gen.
Looks like seating position comfort has a lot to do with steering wheel position and orientation. He...
