  1. 2024 Tacoma WEIRD Electrical Issues - Help!

    I'd consider starting with physically checking, tightening, (maybe removing them, sanding, and retightening the connection point) every ground connection point on the vehicle. Remember though, you're under warranty I suspect. (You don't want to do anything that would void the warranty(but you...
  2. Limited owners….. What drive mode do you drive in the most?

    Well, I'd almost always use eco and 4wd to hopefully have the least aggressive throttle responce in snow. Then towing I'd go the other way . That's my thought anyway. In the recent snow it worked out quite quite well at least for me...
  3. Limited owners….. What drive mode do you drive in the most?

    Comfort or ECO / Comfort most of the time. Obviously, snow or towing would be the only exception.
  4. Anyone brave enough to tow a camper yet? I was.

    I have a 2025 Limited (auto and ICE). I will be towing a Winnebago Thrive 18fbs. 4700 pounds empty and we won't be loading it very much. (maybe a 1000 pounds more total at the very most) We did install a weight distribution hitch. (WDH) We had a 2 hour drive home from the dealer. It was a...
  5. RESET the multi media display system

    I've read a couple of posts the seem to say they have to restart the truck to clear "issues" with the multimedia screen on Tacoma's. I just thought I'd mention (FWIW) the you can reset that display (make it restart/reboot) while you're running down the road. Simply press and hold ("hardware...
  6. Your favorite OEM upgrades ?

    My favorite for sure was the start/stop bypass - here are minor things added, changed, or "other" rear retracting bed step added to passenger side rear of vehicle hood support pistons added to assist opening hood and holding hood open rear interior dome light changed to bright LED lamp...
  7. 2026 TRDOR Premium didn't come with Key Card

    My Limited came with one. I keep it in the garage in case the truck is locked and I don't have my keys with me. I too feel you should contact Toyota Corporate. I feel you should have the key furnished at no charge with the purchase of the vehicle.
  8. What did you drive before your Tacoma?

    2004 Honda Element LX with 250000+ miles. My wife felt sorry for me and took me to buy the Tacoma Limited ... I'm satisfied with her idea, but the Honda was very reliable too... The Tacoma though has MUCH more "street cred." :)
  9. Heated seats?

    I agree with the comments of "heat escaping." But, on our Tacoma, if I'm "sitting in the vehicle," they get quite warm quite quickly.
  10. Low mileage trade in's - why??

    I absolutely love my t2025 Tacoma Limited with I have a 2025 Tacoma Limited with just about every option either on it already or ordered and installed. I have a little over 8k miles on this truck. I absolutely love this truck. Never had a truck I liked better. I would have already traded it...
  11. Sea foam to clean 2.4L engine?

    If you "need" an additive, consider something with PEA. I've used Seafoam for years in small (and yes, some older fuel injected larger engines) engines with great results. BUT, as someone else mentioned, for at least a couple of reasons, I wouldn't put it (Seafoam) in a newer 2.4 liter...
  12. Oil change, is it even worth going to the dealer for the “free oil changes to 25k miles”?

    It's too light... Toyota specifies it to hopefully reach government mandated mileage not that it's best for the engine. European standard standards for the same engine or 5W-30. I certainly don't need it most of the time in Tennessee with moderate generally moderate temperatures and a garage...
  13. Oil change, is it even worth going to the dealer for the “free oil changes to 25k miles”?

    I definitely take the 2 oil changes free from the dealer. I took one at 500 miles and paid for that one. At 5000 I let them pay for it. At 10k miles they can do the 2nd one on them. But, I'll still return to them for all subsequent oil changes because it's convenient. (and I have a very...
  14. To chin or not to chin

    I'm keeping it. If there's even a little bit of mileage to be gained by it, I'm gonna keep it. It doesn't bother me a bit.
