  1. Moonroof rattling when closed and sounds like it is about to fail when opening

    Just over 5k miles on my Tacoma and a rattle has started in the moonroof when closed. Happens at all speeds. When I open (either crack or fully open) the moonroof, the sound goes away. Moreover, when opening the moonroof, it sounds as though the motor is struggling or not functioning correctly...
  2. Transmission temp while climbing in 4H

    I finally got to stretch the legs of the Tacoma a bit. Took it up Hart’s Pass in the northern Cascades all the way to the Slate Peak Lookout. Absolutely beautiful climb and highly recommend it.

  4. Alignment after increasing wheel size?

    Upgraded my Tacoma OR from 265/70/17s to 285/70/17s the day after I bought it from the dealership. Didn't dawn on me until now - should an alignment be done?
  5. Window sticker did not come with truck

    When I picked up my Tacoma, it did not come with a window sticker. I normally keep these for resale down the road. Is this something any Toyota dealership would be able to replicate? I purchased the truck at a dealership out-of-state, so I can't just stop by the dealership the truck came from.

  7. Reliability of estimated availability date on dealership websites

    How reliable are the dates listed for specific VINs on dealer websites? My truck entered production on 6/23, still shows in build phase, and shows an estimated delivery date of 9/20. Another truck for a different dealership (but same metro area) is listed as in transit with an estimated...

  9. Professional ceramic coating vs. DIY options

    My neighbor recently got a new rig and got a ceramic coating applied - seven layers with a "lifetime warranty" that is added to the Carfax, yada yada yada. All for the fantastic price of about $1,600. First time I've been introduced to ceramic coating, which seems to be all the rage these days...

  11. Pros/cons of buying from a dealership 4 hours away?

    In the hunt for the elusive creature known as a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road w/ Premium Package. I've managed to locate one approximately four hours away. MSRP with PIOs I actually want, in the color I want. It's near family so I'll make a trip out of it - that's not a big deal. What are the...
