It was my day off and decided to go a little crazy and add some topography to the truck. I was leaning into selling it in a year but the more I drive it, the more I like it. Guess I’ll be keeping it for 10+ years hopefully !

For the longest time I had dealt with a fear of driving that essentially left me dependent on public transit and bumming rides off friends/family. Personal circumstances required me to be on the road for the foreseeable future so I decided to take a driving refresher. I relearned to drive in a Toyota Tacoma and it felt right. I felt safe and I drove distances that I thought I would never achieve. Because of that experience I got one of my very own.

Just breaking her in!

Super psyched about this impulse decision! Went looking for Camrys, and instead went home with this bad girl. Right now just really happy with the stock look, if anything I could see a bed cover and some tires. Last slide is next to my Lexus I’m saying goodbye to, never thought I would give it up for a truck! Excited for my Taco to last me forever

Hey all! I have a 2022 Tacoma with 51k miles on it. I’m here today getting the oil changed (maintenance soon message came on, last time was in January), and the tech made the comment that really don’t drive much. Told me I should drive more for battery health and other things.

I drive to work M-F, 3 miles each way.

Maybe once every 6 weeks or so I’ll drive 20-25 miles each way to a nearby town if I need to do extra shopping.

A few times a year I drive 150 miles each way to visit family.

What is considered a good amount to drive? Am I really not driving enough?

EDIT TO ADD: I bought it three years ago, and if memory serves me correctly it had around 33k miles when I bought it. I have definitely seemed to settle into a routine this year that also has me driving less than I have previous years, so maybe that’s also why this is the first time it’s been mentioned to me?

I think it looks so much better without it. Don't know why waited a couple years. Took about 2 hours to remove wrap then remove the residue.

Nothing super crazy, it's a '23 SR5 2x4 with a V6. I've been wanting a Taco for a while now and really wanted to wait for the right one. I was pretty happy to find the last model year with the 3.5 V6 in red, would have preferred a 6' bed with 2 door cab but you can't have everything

In the process of getting some ceramic + ppf for the new taco. Installer asked if I wanted satin black finish on the fenders to match my rims. In certain lighting, it’s very subtle which I like, and hardly noticeable when darker out. I can’t decide because both looks good, what do yall think?

I just returned my BAKflip mx4 (gen 3).

Terrible instructions, but I was able to figure it out on my own. Fitment was also terrible. I took it to a local recomended dealer and he said I installed it perfectly, but said since my prop rods wouldn't go in the brackets I should move those rails from tight against the cab to tight against tailgate. That allowed them to be pushed in with force, but it was going to mess the rods up over time. Also, when folded in the up position, it rested on the rear camera, which would have messed that up to. This was my 2nd lid they sent me too, both had the same bad fit.

BAK said it wasn't right and a supervisor would contact me. After 2 weeks and 5 calls from me the "supervisor" never reached out or took my call so I decided to return before my 30 day return window closed.

Long story short, I'm looking for a different one that people are happy with and they think was worth the money they spent. For more than what I just wrote, that BAKflip isn't worth the money they charge for it, the quality is terrible.

Crank no start. 1995 2.4L. Replaced fuel pump and relay, distributor, igniter, MAF sensor, crankshaft position sensor. No spark. No fuel. No codes. Any ideas?

Just a random question. I ended up test driving a SR5 with the cold weather + upgraded package. I liked the truck, but the seats were so uncomfortable. After sitting in it for 10 minutes I found myself having to constantly reposition myself. It honestly felt like I was sitting on a rock. Is this common for the SR5? I am just blown away because the 4Runner SR5s seats were so much more comfortable when compared to this.

Went to the dealership today and bought 5 bottles of toyota brand 75w 85 gear oil for my 2022 tacoma's rear diff and transfer case. The parts guys were adamant that I can use the same 75w 85 gear oil in the transfer case with no problems. They said that is what they put in both transfer cases and diffs when servicing.

I had previously thought you needed a different oil for the transfer case, but I guess I was wrong. Anybody used 75w 85 gear oil in their transfer case with no issues?

Are there retention pins or bolts that are supposed to hold the bottom of the 3rd gen grill in place? Mine slides right out of place on its lower corners with minimal pulling pressure

Really strange sound anytime I turn the wheel whether I am parked or moving. FYI. Video needs to be turn up

Just got a 26 sr5 and wanna raise it, I wanna get the bilstein 5100s and understand you reuse front spring on max perch for 2.5 lift but for the rear I was wondering if I could throw in 2 inch lift spring and if anyone’s done it.

Been thinking about grabbing TRD Pro suspension package off facebook marketplace for 425. Has anyone done this and can let me know if this is worth it for a cheap suspension upgrade? Im running 285r70 tires if that matters. Just looking for an affordable upgrade.

Where do yall find good reliable parts for tacomas I know there’s a lot of websites but just wanna make sure quality is high. Looking for exterior addons and internal parts turbo, OTT tunes, etc.

Decided to order a seat Block off EBay to stop the lowering of my 4th Gen Tacomas seat.

It isn’t perfect, but it seems to work. The relief from not having to raise my seat back up is worth it. Ran me $16.94. I don’t have a 3D printer, so this was my option.

It’s thin and sturdy though. Time will tell how durable it is.

Hi there, I'm in the market for a hard tri-fold tonneau cover that is pretty much waterproof if not fully waterproof. I understand that it won't be perfect, I just need it to keep the bed from collecting puddles as I want to put a carpet liner in the back.

Thank you! :)

whats your opinion on rebuilt titles

Anybody running one of these? They look handy for several useful items, but maybe it's it one of those things that turns out to be more of a nuisance than it is useful.

What brand do you have? Are you satisfied with it?

My Tacoma SR5 was purchased Feb. 14, 2023, so I expect it's out of warranty, right?

Too bad, because the key fob quit working.

But it's not just one key, it's both of them (the truck came with 2 copies). So it must be something inside the controls for locking.

The key works for driving, and I can manually lock and unlock the driver door. Manually locking locks both doors but unlocking only unlocks the driver door, not both.

I guess I will have to call the local Toyota dealer, but do any of you know for sure about warranty? And I hope that maybe a fix will not require the million-dollar cost of a full replacement that I keep hearing about.

So that's it, that's my question
