Demo models, short term lease return, early lease return, buyer's loan had issues and failed to close, general buyer's remorse, etc. Sometimes a dealership will "buy" a new vehicle to get it "off the lot", and then a manager will drive it as a perk for a while. Then the vehicle will get sold...

Bringing this back to the top... My 2024 TRD OR just started doing this at 9700 miles. It seems to vary a bit, but when it's bad it's BAD. My dealership initially said it's "normal" but after opening a case with Corporate Toyota I'm going back in next week for another appointment. I'm getting...

Well damn. I guess the difference is hybrid vs regular engine. Crazy, I had no idea.

Some type of lockable door/flap or locking gas cap could be useful, if executed well and good quality. Yes, I have had theft concerns. Features: Fuel door: secure, clean/sleek looking (no gaudy fake bolts like on the example door pictured), matte black to match the TRD fender flares and other...

Maybe it changed for the 25 model year... But my 24 TRD OR has no protection. Regular unsecured flap with a finger slot, and no locking cap.

Depending on your preferences and driving style, they are or they aren't. The 5100s will have firmer damping at ride height. The Taco TRD OR ESCV shocks firm up substantially halfway through the travel to be firmer than 5100s, with more bottoming resistance. The vast majority of people who say...

The ESCV shocks seem to be damped a bit softer (less compression damping) in the initial travel, and then firmer (much more compression damping) in the second stage of travel. I agree that it's more of a benefit on mid-speed hits versus low speed off-road driving where a 5100 is good. And...

The Trailhunter and TRD PRO both come stock with the TRD intake and air box. Same air box, that can be used for both snorkel and non-snorkel applications because it has two inlet hole options.

I highly doubt your stock TRD OR Bilstein shocks ever bottomed out (unless you were smashing speed bumps or g-outs at 30, or jumping the truck, or were just heavily loaded). With stock Toyota bump stops, bottoming out while driving is not a gentle experience. The shocks were likely hitting the...

It's there because that is the TRD intake and air box, which is also used on non-snorkel trucks like the TRD PRO or any other Tacoma. So there are two air hole options on the box.

Oh yeah - the silencer removal and intake tube upgrade was also cheap and easy. I had an Air Raid intake tube and dry element filter on mine too. It made good power and sound, along with a Magnaflow muffler.

Use a GPS app to confirm your actual miles travelled, and compare it to your odometer/trip meter. The odometer and speedometer are not linked on these trucks so each one will have different margins of error. But from what I've seen, the tire diameter difference is usually damn close to the...

This is a regular Taco air box (image stolen from an eBay listing): The bottom half of the air box (the "dirty" side) is on the top of the image. There are a couple spots where holes can easily be added for more air flow. I'd probably go for the front or right of the air box (facing up or...

Are you factoring in the 7.2% error in your odometer? If not, that 16.5mpg is actually 17.7mpg.

There are quite a few print-on-demand websites these days. Could be a good option.

90% chance it's the air pressure difference. Could also be a slightly undersize tire, but you would have probably noticed that by now. Also, does the Trailhunter have a different lug torque spec? It's 97ft-lb for aluminum wheels on all other models.

Yes - the factory shocks are sealed units that wear out eventually, and then get replaced. Same with the majority of aftermarket shocks like Bilstein 5100/6100 series. Sealed shocks are fine for 99% of truck owners. I'm sticking with them on this Taco for the sake of keeping things simple and...

Interesting on the heated garage aspect. Do you have to turn to get into the garage? Or are you driving straight in before and into the garage? With a turn, and in 4wd, it could be a drivetrain binding situation.

Glad to help. I miss my last Icon setup because I could drive the heck out of it, and the truck handled everything. But the maintenance is a harsh reality that most people don't talk about. If the maintenance is neglected, the main shock parts themselves start to fail and once the shaft and body...

I did this with my old F250 - find some PVC or ABS pipe and fittings that work as adapters. In the case of this cupholder - Cut a 3-4" piece of 3" ABS pipe, which is 3.5" OD (same as a Nalgene 32oz bottle). That will reduce the cupholder to 3".
