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

    Well I got mine in the beginning of February and have a fairly low VIN (3TYLB5JN7RT003734). I’ve got almost 16,500 miles on it so far. I hope all is good for at least another 1,500 miles for my trip back from vacation….

    OEM tonneau cover not covering gap

    Your cover is definitely back farther than mine. I'll have to see if I can get mine back. Thanks for the photo.

    OEM tonneau cover not covering gap

    I'll look into that, I thought I had it pulled back as far as I could without the extruded aluminum not interfering with the tailgate. But I had just used the molded plastic tops to determine that. I'll see if I can move it back more and hopefully that'll span that gap to keep water out...

    OEM tonneau cover not covering gap

    The gaskets don’t cover the corner gap at the tailgate…. Is this normal?

    Gas Milage

    I just installed my OEM cover, I’d love to see a boost in mileage like you saw. 🤞🏻

    HVAC display question

    I have a 2024 limited Tacoma and I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask the dealer or here for a while. Do the status icons in the display for the HVAC options and defroster stay off in auto mode? On all my prior vehicles the display would stay on showing the status the auto had it in. On...

    Toyota app, does your notifications show

    What I was thinking odd about mine was that it calls my truck a hybrid when it isn’t.

    Toyota app, does your notifications show

    Yes very odd since we both have the same trim.

    Toyota app, does your notifications show

    My notifications from the Toyota app call my gasoline truck a hybrid, anyone else see that from their app? I have a gasoline limited trim, non hybrid. ???

    [Update: just an unplugged connector!] Going for service repair: "System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" error message

    I honestly have no idea, I just picked it up working and it’s worked fine since. I asked if they could show me what was unplugged, but I picked it up after the service department was closed and the people that were there didn’t know.

    New 2024 Tacoma Limited (Wind Chill Pearl) Owner Review - Picked Up 2/3

    I didn’t realize how much of an effect the AVS was until the systems shutdown when my shutter wire disconnected and the AVS was off. Driving down the highway to go to the dealership, the truck bounced like my old Dakota I had years ago. The ride is noticeably smoother with the system operating...

    No, not so far, it’s been fine since the fix. I’ve got about 3,600 miles on it so far. Fingers crossed that it’ll stay good.

    Limited upper interior door panel is different

    Yes, it’s not a thick padding, but it does have a stitched soft vinyl over the hard plastic.

    TRD Jon traded his 3rd gen for 2024 Tacoma TRD OR + 600 Mile Road Trip

    It’s my understanding they do this for carrier transport to make the tires more rigid to strap them down. Part of the dealers check is supposed to be setting the tire pressure to the proper setting for driving.

    [Update: just an unplugged connector!] Going for service repair: "System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" error message

    Well luckily it was something simple. Apparently a connector had come unplugged. They simply plugged it back in and reset the errors and we’re back in business. They said it must not have been plugged in all the way from the factory and had come apart from normal driving vibration. They made...

    Not yet, if I haven’t heard anything by the time I get home from work, I’ll give them a call.

    I will say this, the loaner is a 2023 limited with 96 miles on it and I am glad I got the 2024. This truck feels anemic in acceleration, has less comfortable seats, old tech package, sad camera views, no digital rear view mirror etc…. What a huge difference.

    They said at least two days. So not too bad if that’s accurate. 🤞🏻
