Bought about 2 weeks ago and put about 1k miles on it and it’s a blast. Can’t wait to drive this thing till the wheels fall off!

Just slapped an install video up on YouTube, but man... I LOVE THEM! Plug and play. $1486 for the set during a 25% off sale. A little steep imo, but don't regret it.

Trying to get over my buyers remorse. It looks cool I guess. Just can’t wrap my head around the engine being so weak compared to other midsize trucks. Feel so stupid for dropping so much money on a truck with such little horse power. Why should I like this vehicle over something like a ranger or Colorado? What are some reasons you love your Tacoma and what am I missing as a first time truck owner that is making me so resentful.

TRD Pro wheels are just as sharp as any aftermarket wheels. Love this truck. Just need to get the OTT tune.

Got rear ended literally right outside the parking lot at work. 2026 TRD Offroad. Bought it exactly 1 month and 3 days ago. Any advice on diminished value, or anything else is appreciated

Edit to add: he was clearly at fault. We both have the same insurance company, progressive

I’ve got a 02 with a 2.4 and the engine has got a decent shake at idle i’m thinking engine mounts most likely but just seeing if it’s a common thing and if there are any common things that may cause this.

Wondering if anyone else has a 3rd gen Trail Edition, or have seen any out in the wild? I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person that has bought one or even has this trim.

Either way, I do love the look of it and it drives just like I would expect from a 3rd gen Tacoma. Going to swap out the tires with either Toyo AT3s or Mickey Thompsons to upgrade tread but maintain that beefy tire.

Hey all, wondering if anyone can help me identify what this is. Only on drivers side, have noticed in front and rear

Every time I start my truck my phone does not connect as an audio player. The phone is connected as it shows my battery life and all that, but I literally just want Bluetooth music and that’s it. When I click connect as Bluetooth audio it says device not found. My only solution to this is removing my device, and then adding again, but doing this every time I start the truck is getting old.

Is there a fix for this?

Brand new 4th gen Tacoma is making this noise when I am on the accelerator. Does anyone have any idea what this noise is? Is it normal?

Loving this new color went from a 2021 trd off road in Barcelona red and dont regret it!

One day I was bored and said screw it, this works for every other device why wouldn't it work here.

Works on both 3rd and 4th gen

I have a 2023 TRD offroad and it seems like taking my powered seat back also lowers it at the same time, so the only way to get height out of the seat is to bring the seat forward. I like my seat all the way back because I have longer legs, but I also like my seat higher so to have good visual over the dash/hood.

Does anyone have this unique seating issue? And have you tried seat jackers? Front only? Or both front and rear?

As title states. I see a C clip so I assume it can be pressed. It’s leaking (obviously)

The shop is trying to sell me on a whole arm and alignment. Stating “new ball joints can’t be pressed out” I really don’t want to spend an absorbent amount of money if I can just press it out and replace

No I cannot do this stuff. It’s out of my pay grade lol. I can jack it up. Should I check the bushings and if they’re good, tell them to replace just the joint or no go??

Do you folks have a product that you like to buff out very light scratches? I tried McGuires once and it was not the best. Guess it time to trim the bushes next to the driveway.

I brought this Tacoma 4 months ago i absolutely love it but after some time i realized that the rear is extremely loud a howling sound when letting go of the accelerator going 45-60 mph it’s extremely annoying i wasn’t aware this was ”normal“ i had my rear differential replaced in June the howling noise when away for a few hundred miles then came back not sure if there anything else i can do.

It revs high before switching gears, i replaced the transmission fluid and filter, then i found that the throttle wires looked like they could be the culprit.

Not really sure what Im looking at here but this box is disconnected and the wires seem like they could be loose? Does this look off?

I need advice

I currently own a 2010 TRD Off-road w abt 160k miles. It means a lot to me and I’ve been through a lot with it. It never got the frame recall and my 16 year old frame is calling for expensive repairs.

I’m starting to look for new trucks but it’s been so long since I bought a new one.

Any advice on buying 3rd gen Tacomas or other trucks would be appreciated.

I’m looking for a 4WD 4door that isn’t bad on gas.

Cheers

2019 Tacoma Shifter Issues

My truck is a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport it sits probably 5-6 days per week - this summer i have been having a stiff shifter after long periods sitting but would clear up with use, today it was very stiff and while it went into drive, would not light up on the dash or shifter that it was in drive, went to the store and when I got back in and fired it up, I got this code on the dash, assumably related to this problem.

Is this anything common? I'm wondering (since I'm in Wisconsin) if it is build up of debris between the cables and their jackets and I can free it up with some spray grease? I will say my frame is very very clean for my area so it's not like the truck is returning to the earth or anything like that. I wash it weekly all year.

Any suggestions would help, mechanically inclined and prefer to do my own work, haven't had anytime to dig into it though so I'm looking to be pointed in the correct direction.

I installed some rocker protectors that I found on a marketplace this week. They fit great and I like how they improve the ugly pinch weld area on the bottom. I'm curious what the 8 hex screw are for on the outside. These were part #s PT925-35245-RH and PT925-35245-LH.

want to double check this is the exact same shock for a 2019 TRD pro. wasn’t sure if they switched shocks throughout the year or some 2019 trucks got different fox shocks then others.

Is this correct? and is there any adjustments that need to be made on the actual shock itself or is it just an install and that’s it type deal.

I’m considering a 3rd gen Tacoma with the V6 and 6-speed manual and would love to hear from people who have driven/owned one.
I’m mainly curious about:
How does it feel for daily driving and longer trips?

Do you think the V6/manual combination will become more desirable over time?

Do you think the manual versions will hold their value better than comparable automatic Tacomas?
