  1. Trim availability around the country

    i know this must vary a bit around the country, but I have developed a rating system for various trims available in my neck of the woods (Alaska). I would be curious to hear how it shakes out in other places. Trail Hunter ā€œBigfoot.ā€ Rumor has it that there are a few around, but good luck seeing...
  2. Control aftermarket lights with high beam lever (in addition to high beams)?

    Most states have the legal requirement for auxiliary lights only be used in conjunction with high beams. It’s nice that Toyota set people on the path to a correct (and legal) installation. šŸ˜‰
  3. Tail Gate Assist (SR5) ?

    Toyota is all over the map with their packages. My 2025 SR5 Xtracab does not have the easy lower tail gate. And although it allegedly has the upgrade package, it does not get everything. Yes to heated seats, LED bed lights, spray in bed liner. But no to heated steering wheel, QI charger or...
  4. Tacoma Locator - Available Inventory Search (Live Dashboard)

    I got one. It wasn’t the easiest process. I live in Alaska, but found one in Washington state. I went down and bought it and shipped it up on a car carrier vessel. Replacing my 1985. (I bought it in ā€˜86)
  5. Dirty /smudges inside the headlight lens?

    Yep. I noticed that on my 2025 a couple days ago. It’s not etching or numbers, it’s smudges. It doesn’t seem to impact the effectiveness of the lights, but it makes them look shoddy.
  6. Illinois Tacoma OEM Side Steps PT938-35241

    What state are you in? Toyota won’t let you simply return them? I have an extra cab and really want to put the predator style steps on it. But I might consider these if the shipping isn’t too crazy. I’ll get back to you.
  7. My current MPG in my 25’ TrailHunter

    The mpg numbers people are posting sound crazy. I just picked up a 2025 4WD SR5. Combined driving (3/4 highway) I am getting 26mpg. additional: this average was my first tank of fuel. The 26.0 MPG was after putting 320 miles on the truck. It looks like my range will be about 400 miles on the...
  8. ToyotacarešŸ˜‚

    I bought a 2025 two days ago. There was no mention of Toyota Care, or any maintenance plan. Maybe it’s because I was an out of state buyer? I wonder if my local dealer will honor any of that.?
  9. 🤯Toyota Tacoma expected to rise in price $5k-15 k depending on model with Trump Tarrifs

    I’m curious what’s going to happen. I put down a deposit a couple weeks ago on a 2025 that was ā€œin production.ā€ I specifically asked the dealer about the threatened tariffs. Of course the salesman said nothing to worry about. I insisted on the price in writing. If they raise it a nickel, I’m...
  10. Problem with power tailgate

    I’ve been driving a truck (the same one) for 40 years. I have yet to come up with a single reason why I would need a power tailgate. It seems like a gimmick waiting to break or freeze in winter. Luckily, the trim I want to get doesn’t come with the power tailgate. That is if Toyota ever...
  11. Bad Head-on Collision Accident, and I walked away!

    I know how you feel. Back in the early 1980s, I purchased my first new truck. I was on my way home with it the day of the purchase, and a vehicle crossed the center line and hit me head on, totaling my truck with about 12 miles on the odometer. Other than the trauma of a crash and any...
  12. Tacoma Locator - Available Inventory Search (Live Dashboard)

    This is uplifting and depressing all at the same time. Toyota has all but eliminated the Xtracab. I tried to get one for a year, and was told by my dealer already that he can't get one. Thanks for posting.
  13. Final 2024 TRD Pro production count?

    I’m also curious how many SR5 Xtracabs were produced. I watched Cars.com and Autotrader all year and saw a couple dozen for sale. (None anywhere near me.) Are production numbers available somewhere?
  14. Rough Country Hidden Winch Installed on TRD Pro. No Cutting Necessary!

    Awesome job. And I like your extension to disengage the winch drum. I’m not sure if you made that or rough country is including them now. But that looks like a better set up than the one I saw a YouTuber make
  15. Wheel Website with Pictures Installed

    It is sad that the Toyota website configurator is so lame. On the Nissan website, you can change rims and the photo of the truck changes to reflect that. Toyota is getting cheap in every aspect of the company. They won’t even build a decent webpage anymore. 😔
  16. 2025 Tacoma Prices Released. Price Cuts on TRD Pro and Trailhunter

    Don’t forget the devil is in the details. The Price of the TRD Off Road premium package increased to $9000. I can’t wait to see what my local dealer does with the 130 2024s on the lot. šŸ¤”
  17. 2025 Tacoma Allocations Appear on Toyota Website

    That graphic doesn't look very legit. It looks like a Dodge truck. Weird.
  18. TRD Off Road and TRD Prerunner Side-by-Side Look

    If they would put a 4wd drivetrain in the PreRunner, I would write the check tomorrow. 2024 is almost over and no Xtracabs in Alaska which seems odd considering how popular the Access cabs have always been up here. No PreRunners. No SR5s. No SRs. Zip. 😔 (My dealer does have 139 4-door...
  19. Best A/T tires for snow - Ko3's or Ridge Grapplers?

    I’ve been driving in Alaska for 48 years and have tried many tires. On my truck, I run BFG KO2’s year round and they do great. However, the best snow tires I have ever used are on my wife’s CRV. Blizzak studless tires are amazing. the worst I’ve ever had were the Good Year Wranglers that...
  20. Toyota is really dragging their feet on the 2025 Tacoma Info....

    Here we are in mid November, and still not a peep about the 2025 model Tacomas. Maybe it’s because they are sitting on a lot of ā€˜24s? There are over a 100 at my local dealer, yet still no discounts.
