If you own a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, you’ll want to hear this. Toyota has officially announced a driveshaft recall for select 4th-Gen models — but that’s not the whole story. We have lots of complaints! In my latest video, I break down: 🎥 Watch here: ✅ Which trims are affected ✅ Common symptoms...

Toyota just unveiled the Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept at SEMA 2025 — a hydrogen fuel-cell Tacoma with 547 HP, zero emissions, and the ability to charge two EVs or even filter its own exhaust water for camping. Built by TRD engineers, it’s a full hydrogen-electric overlander with long-travel...

Hey everyone — Rob here from @SmokyMtnTaco 👋 I’ve been running a 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter Hybrid for a while now, but I decided to rent a 2025 TRD Off-Road to see how it really stacks up — same roads, same driver, no dealership fluff. Before the big road trip, I did a full side-by-side...

Hey everyone — Rob here from @SmokyMtnTaco 👋 I just finished installing the Auxbeam Vibrant Series RGB Rock Light Kit on my 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, and this one turned out clean. No drilling. No splicing. Just magnetic mounts, Toyota’s factory prewired AUX 3 switch, and power...

Good question Interesting thought, I'm going to need to investigate this. I was following the the approach I've used on my 3rd gen, the many times I've had it off. At the very least you'll need to remove that lower dash cover with those 8mm bolts. I'll take a look and I may have to make...

So Toyota gave us AUX 1, 2, 3, and 4 prewired switches — which is awesome… but let’s be honest, they’re pretty boring out of the box. I decided to do something fun about it. 😎 I pulled AUX 2 and replaced it with a Sasquatch switch that now controls my Auxbeam driving pods, and swapped AUX 4...

Nice!

Hey everyone — Tacoma thefts are getting worse, and thieves are using some pretty advanced tricks to do it. They’re not breaking windows anymore… they’re using relay boxes, CAN bus injections, and OBD port hacks to steal trucks in under two minutes — even with the keys sitting safely inside...

Hey guys, One of the biggest questions I keep hearing is: “How in the world do you jumpstart a Tacoma Hybrid?” The 12V battery is hidden under the rear driver’s seat — not exactly easy to access when you’re stuck. I just dropped a video showing the fast and safe way to jumpstart any...

Hey everyone, I finally ditched the OEM bed mat on my 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter — and let me tell you, I should’ve done this Day 1. The OEM mat slid around like crazy (even in a car wash), and the cheap Amazon tailgate mat I tried made the truck look like I glued a rubber shower mat to it. Total...

What’s up everyone, I just finished a video going over what I think are 12 must-have mods for the 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter. These aren’t just flashy add-ons — they’re practical upgrades that make a difference on the trail and in everyday use. This video will drop at 11:30AM EST On September...

Hey everyone, Took the new 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter out this week and things got a little… messy. Ended up completely buried in 2 feet of mud 😬. Luckily, I had Maxtrax boards on deck and the Trailhunter’s power did the rest. I filmed everything with the drone — so you get the full view of how...

What’s up, Taco fam — I just dropped a new video on the 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, and if you think you’ve already seen it all... think again. This isn’t just a review — it’s a full feature breakdown, night ops lighting demo, and a deep dive into the hidden Easter eggs Toyota slipped...

If your interested in the install, be sure to check out how I installed mine:

I'd like to see one for a high lift jack. Here's my install/review of the OEM 6ft bed MOLLE Panels From Toyota:
