    Diamondback HD on a Trailhunter

    I got a Diamondback HD bed cover that calls for the plastic bed cap to be removed for the fitting of shims. I just realized the TH has the integrated bed lights in that plastic cap. Any idea how they are wired? I don’t want to damage anything removing the plastic bed cap. Also, anyone know how...

    Dipstick reading

    Hey guys - I had my dealer do a break in oil change and after I checked the oil level. On one side of the dipstick it was super high, but on the side it looked only a tiny bit high. I feel like a dipstick for even asking this. But is that normal? I noted this on my 22 Tacoma as well. Is it...

    Any Trailhunter Owners in Utah to help Rokblokz make mudflaps?

    I emailed Rokblokz to see when they will have mudflaps for the Trailhunter. They said they need a Trailhunter to make them. This is to avoid the awful rock chips around the rear fender! See below. “ This is a fitment we’re super excited about but haven’t been able to start working on it...

    Oftentimes my truck will beep multiple times after I turn it off and nothing is in the back - when I try to lock it with the fob. Anyone experience this?

    RTI Score of 532 (in suspension / axle flex test) for 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter - very respectable

    The Trailhunter’s RTI score of 532 is higher than the 24’ PRO (520 - also excellent) and also higher than the shorter wheelbased 2023 PRO (503) as well. I’ve been waiting for someone to do this test and I’m quite pleased with that figure. Considering the long wheelbase, that’s good flex...

    Shudder coming to stop - transmission death or normal?

    Guys I’m trying to drill down on something. When I’m coming to a stop, oftentimes I feel a vibration or shudder underneath me coming through the powertrain. It’s subtle and the truck feels like it’s jumping forward a tiny bit. I have a hybrid and I’m in the transmission TSB. I have zero...

    What is this part? It vibrates and makes noises after I turn off the truck.

    No idea what this part is - it vibrates and makes sounds when I turn off the truck. It has its own coolant. Anyone know what it is? Then there’s this coolant … which isn’t the main radiator coolant .. is it the turbo coolant?

    Rocker plastic clip?

    Does anyone know what this rocker clip is called? What’s the part? Does anyone know its purpose? My PPF guy removed it to lay down some film and it’s now slightly loose. If it’s cheap I may replace it.

    Heavy tires - does the powertrain adapt?

    Theoretical question. I have a hybrid. When I floor it all the way, while the power is excellent, I can tell the ECU is “cutting power” and I don’t really feel the full 465lb feet of torque. I think this is largely traction control—as it feels the tires slip, it limits output. So, my theory...

    OBD Transmission Temp Devices?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a simple to install OBD port transmission temp reader or blue tooth + app type of thing? Related question. I keep seeing that the Tacoma transmission temps run high (see TFL toaster test) and yet the truck doesn’t throw codes and is meant to run high. Does...

    Protecting your turbo - turning off the hybrid engine

    I have read that you should idle for a minute before turning off your motor, especially after heavy load, to let the oil in the turbo drain out fully so it doesn’t cook inside the turbo. When it cooks in there and cannot drain, the oil loses life and the turbo can get clogged over time by coked...

    Diamondback Switchback on Hybrid / TH

    Hello, Has anyone installed the DB Switchback on a hybrid / TH? I am worried about the latches near the tailgate requiring a plate that may cover up the outlet or the air compressor. If you’ve got pictures of how it looks on your truck including in the tailgate area please post. Also any...

    Trailhunter max tire size

    Hello Folks - Has anyone attempted to fit 285/70/18s or 295/70/18s on the Trailhunter without making any modifications? That includes not removing the horn/crashpad in the fender behind the tires. Everything I see online pertains to what can fit on the truck with a special lift on the TRD OR...

    Turning off power tailgate

    So I figured out how to turn off the power tailgate on my info screen and when I do it seems I can manually open the tailgate .. but when I try to close it, I’m pushing against the motor. And if I let go it stays frozen in mid air. This seems off. I thought it would behave as a normal...
