  1. TSB: Hybrid Tacoma Now Included in Transmission Failure Issues & Replacement (October 2024)

    I commented (here prior? other thread?) that I have similar in the 30-40mph zone... just feels like its being indecisive on a shift. My VIN is within the range (built last days of June), but I'm not letting it get to me... I can't worry about what I can't control. It'll either work itself out...
  2. Fog Lights: Essential or Outdated? Let’s Chat About Winter Visibility!🌟

    They're pretty intense! If I had the OEM switchable I would have likely not gone this route, but I had decided I wanted them amber over white, and since I wanted to say both street legal and have the lens match what I was putting in the grille, I opted for these. I'm overall happy with the...
  3. Finally A Glove Box Gap Fix!

    I have zero issues with the gap and based on behavior it was clearly intentional. What I do wish was slightly different would be a downslope to the glovebox internal area, so that things STAYED PUT. being a flat shelf everything just slides forward and finds its way onto the door when you open it.
  4. Removing/hiding mild scratches on dash by AC knobs

    Forgot to follow up on this. I ended up ordering the Novus. The mild scratch rub (step2?) solved the lighter scratch and diminished the heavier one. I opted not to lay into the heavier one with heavy scratch rub (step1?)... just made me too nervous in the moment. Thank you for the...
  5. AVS on the Limited like the Tundra?

    I was hoping it would have clearance settings to lower, normal, raise the vehicle like the Tundra or many other premium SUVs even. But alas, just dynamic dampening for the Tacoma
  6. Trailhunter Hybrid high pitched noise

    It's a federal safety requirement. Any vehicle operating in battery only mode must make a sound to help alert blind pedestrians to awareness of the vehicle. Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act (PSEA) In 2010, Congress established the PSEA to require the National Highway Traffic Safety...
  7. Trailer Detected Warning Stuck On

    Is there an easy location to track or reference the general list as it grows? (I don't see TSBs as a bad thing, they show actively trying to address issues that are showing a trend)
  8. Maryland Gently used TripleALiner Floor Liner set (Front & Rear)(non-Hybrid)

    Hey CJ, I'm over in Catonsville, depend on where you are in CC. Do you find yourself over this way at all? If so, Send a private message and let's coordinate
  9. Fog Lights: Essential or Outdated? Let’s Chat About Winter Visibility!🌟

    Using high beams in bad weather is bad (counter intuitive) as it illuminates more but it's by reflection and thus reducing how far ahead and how clearly you can see. While white light is "brighter", it's actually less penetrating than colored light in adverse conditions. Lower is better, and...
  10. DIY: Heritage Grille + Diode Dynamics 18" light bar on a vehicle without factory AUX

    Swapped out the OEM bright chrome grille with the bronze heritage grille. opted for the @Diode Dynamics 18" light bar because I wanted to remain street legal (and this was purchased 3 months ago, so way before they announced their 20" option at SEMA last week). I opted for the kit approach...
  11. Sun Visor Caps

    could just back them out and paint them with black automotive touch up paint, or spray them with flat or satin black pain
  12. Maryland Sold: Gently used TripleALiner Floor Liner set (Front & Rear)(non-Hybrid)

    Loved the mats, but rear mat was not a fit for my hybrid. Lightly used for about 150mi of driving before I secured a hybrid-compatible liner. Available for local pick-up. Asking $50 (retail $105).
  13. Floor Liners: TripleALiners vs. Lasfit

    Had originally ordered the @TripleAliners when no one had hybrid liners available. I knew full well the rear would be a poor fit, but it was mitigation money to have something, and of the non-hybrid options available, I liked the TripleALiners the best in appearance and coverage, so that's what...
  14. iForceMax Tacoma Hybrid Will Get 'Generator Mode' Treatment

    I get where some get hung up on the engine running, but it's no different than if you were running a portable generator. Just saving you the hassle of a separate heavy motor. It can only be a battery power station for so long before tripping it's lower limit point. The battery is a bit of a...
  15. Trip History

    Agree that they could easily display the effective numeric value above each bar and it would be significantly better. That said, have you tried tapping or pressing on a given bar to see if a pop-up occurs?
  16. Tacoma pro rough ride around 40mph

    I have a limited hybrid and I think I've noticed similar to the point that I was contemplating if I should make a post about it. For me, if I've got the truck in the 38-40mpg zone, it's got a noticably rough transmission spot. Below that and above that, smooth as glass and beautiful. An I...
  17. Carista update news

    Daytime Running Lights Enable/Disable them (if you have your lights set to "auto" they are on by default. This being off disables them) Personally I hate DRLs... In my observation all they have done is create more people driving around in bad conditions or at night with their lights off bc the...
  18. Carista update news

    Thanks for helping me figure it out! I got it working as desired. For the reference record: In the infotainment settings you set door smart access to driver only. Then when outside the vehicle, one 2-3 second hold will lock everything. If locked, a 2-3 second hold from the driver's handle...
  19. Carista update news

    So, leave the car setting on driver's door only, then just long hold the driver's handle rather than short hold? Coming from a vehicle that was build before this complexity existed (but used to the one-tap-two-tap method of other manufacturers)

    This - I need to find this setting!
