    Parking brake noise

    Had a handful of new vehicles that had electric parking brakes , they all make that noise when engaging . Happy that it engages and disengages automatically. Rented a mazda that you had to disengage it every time you put it in drive , it was irritating.

    First oil change for 4th gen 2024 Tacoma -- do yours ASAP

    Drained about 5.5 and with a filter it took 5.7~ qts to get it just below the full line . Used a piece of cardboard from an Amazon box to create a spillway below the filter spout and above the frame . Fairly easy and was able to crank the spin on filter off by hand with a grunt. Slowest part...

    Replacing oil drain plug with Fumoto - same size as previous gen?

    This same argument is used against using a vacuum pump for top down oil changes and is a total non issue. There are videos showing less than a tablespoon of oil remains once letting out the plug. People online are so paranoid about oil when oil related failures are slim to none on modern...

    2024 TRD Off Road Suspension - harsh / issue?

    The outgoing model had bump stops mounted in the subframe where the current gen has them incorporated into the top hat. not a great design in my opinion but sure the aftermarket will offer better options in the future . As far as general ride quality, I appreciate the stiff chassis and tuning...

    Gas Gauge issues

    Crazy that with all the factory settings on the truck can almost drive itself yet we can’t get a gas tank that reads correctly 🫠 That’s technology we have had worked out for nearly a century

    Gas Gauge issues

    Looks like we have the same issue that Tundras are having with the gas gauge sticking on full after parking on a hill. The reset procedure typically has involved pressing the odo button with acc etc. but we don’t have a button. If anyone encounters the issue the solution is to run the truck...

    is non-ethanol gas bad for the turbo?

    Putting non ethanol of the recommended octane causes no harm and does not increase the likelihood of LSPI or pre detonation. The main advantage of non-ethanol gas is that it doesn’t over time destroy rubber hoses, which is why people use it on boats and small engines like lawnmowers where the...

    Tailgate Gap Issue

    You can move the tailgate with your fingers to fix the panel gaps. Mine had it misaligned so I wedged the tips of my fingers between the side and it slides over. It’s on two post and it has some give side to side, don’t think it’s actually misaligned. mine is non powered or dampened though
