All of those sounds aside from the big one at the end are pretty normal. It still sounds like a metal cooling but something is binding up a little more and then popping / releasing after relaxing from the thermal expansion. I'd check all your normal bolting connections at the exhaust points for...

Just FYI only the MAX hybrid option has full time 4WD. My non hybrid has the regular 4wd dial selector to engage 4wd hi or lo. To the OP I'll admit I've never owned a car with a HUD and this one is one of the factors I bought the Limited trim (on top of all the cameras/power/heated options/...

Fill us in what you hear, I don't mind the Limited suspension and ride height as I don't intend for this truck to be an offroader, but do wonder what average lifespan and weak points of these magnetorheological shocks are vs standard shocks should one die out of warranty.

Just FYI it is normal for it to drip past the Sunroof glass seal, it'll fall into that drain catch pan around the perimeter of the hole. Almost every car will do it but every Toyota I've owned does it for sure. That is the importance of verifying your sunroof drain is clear at every location by...

Comfort, unless I'm hauling 500+ lbs in the bed then Normal or Sport mode. I'm guessing it's trying to ride softer so the body travels more over bumps to dampen them progressively, but I've found it seemed to bottom out the rear way easier while loaded down when in Comfort.

Did the same as most here, 1K, 5K, and 10K. There's a Tacoma enthusiast on YouTube (along with probably several others) I watched who had Blackstone analyze every oil sample at every change and even their own recommendation is that the oil life with a turbo, moderate to severe conditions, and...

Gotcha, understood. Thanks!

May I ask why you went back to stock?

So you're still getting another rattle that isn't in that area? Might try to get one of those cheap automotive stethoscopes and find a good area to drive that'll reliably make the noise and test different points. It's come in handy tracking down specific squeaks and rattles under the hood for me.

May not be your specific culprit as it seems everyone has ultimately found different spots causing it but one that confounded me for a while is the spot between the dash trim with the accessort switches and the door plastic when the door is closed. About 4-6" closer to the driver than that...

Yeah, been meaning to write a post about it to warn others but if you lean on the most curved part of the fender it'll pop in and crease. I'm 5'8" and average body weight so always been used to just leaning on vehicle fenders my whole life with my hands or arms and never had a thought about it...

^ I've just installed the Redline version off Amazon a few weeks back and had the same battery connector sticking out (non-hybrid '25 Limited) but oddly it even says on the installation sheet several times and with photos that IBS cable isn't an issue if you tuck it underneath the ball mount. I...

Some gas station pumps have more sensitive overflow cutoff than others (or it's going bad) and will trip the handles to stop more easily than normal. I doubt it's the exact case for our Tacomas, but when my 2020 Colorado encountered the exact same issue across multiple cities, stations, and...

You get this figured out? Im getting a very random and rapid metallic rattle every once in a while but only at certain speeds and engine loads. Gonna take a look at the heat shields first, but wondering what else it could be.

Just FYI can't do this on the Rough Country trifold version I have, there two rubber flaps on the edge. One short one to seal on top of the tailgate, one long one that I'm not even sure what it does (maybe backup seal to only let water drip straight down?) but will usually seal against the...
