  1. Any Build Regrets On Your Tacoma?

    Thank you back and I'm glad it is working out. I can be hesitant to recommend it because in addition to a competitor as a sponsor here who from patent can't make it, some are really fussy about stuff and no soft type topper or tonneau is perfect or totally precise. Associates who've had soft...
  2. Random 2024 Tacoma 4th Gen Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸 🤳

    Okay, something more than reposting how my Fas-Top tonneau rolled and topper meet the gen 4 cab. Powderhorn ski area in western CO - a neat place not on most skiers' radar.
  3. Any Build Regrets On Your Tacoma?

    I have few regrets but questioned the rigid bed covers from observing others and my use. While still undecided on getting a tent topper I have no regrets getting a Fas-Top that gets me an open bed or topper with easy. They might not be for some here but I sure like it for a work oriented light...
  4. SofTopper x Bronze Oxide x Bed Camping

    For up close or hands on, I was only able to compare to some folks with other soft toppers on 3rd gen Tacoma shorties and full-sized pickups also shorties but 5.5 feet beds. They all have same sort of truck/ag/marine "canvas" and stitching. You need seam sealant no matter what the brand/maker...
  5. SofTopper x Bronze Oxide x Bed Camping

    You stated "removability". That influenced my choosing Fas-Top where in addition to how fast the whole topper can be gone, I have tonneau, topper all in one where it can all be gone fast. I believe Fas-Top is still the only one that does that. I snapped these photos last summer when I first got...
  6. 20 HP / 14 lb-ft torque gain from 91 Octane gas on Tacoma Gas Engine 2.4 i-Force (dyno tested by Stillen)

    It is hard to believe Toyota would specify standard octane fuel in the Dynamic Force engine family if it would contribute to a shorter product lifespan. For a long time they've stated the goal to keep their long life reputation and put the engine family in product lines that high volume plus are...
  7. Is a 2025 Limited a Good Choice?

    My intent was to say all have a small back seat and features in a Limted such as more luxury are available in the SUV versions of the platform. From personal experience and associates' experience, the small back seat can mean more need to use the bed area that can be complicated with a short...
  8. Is a 2025 Limited a Good Choice?

    The cab is the same. My point to bring it up though was our extensive shopping and comparing found some other formats such as wagon, van, SUV can actually have some more length inside. While shopping for vehicles what I carried in our van or that can go in an Outback set diagonally loses other...
  9. Is a 2025 Limited a Good Choice?

    I cannot answer for you but can let you know why a Limited was no good for me and would have been no good if we were not empty nest status. Back seat of a Limited can't ever be a nice place to be for a long time. The short bed only means a pickup truck that could not do what a minivan or even...
  10. Tacoma posts 188% increased sales figure in March 2025 (23,949 unit sold)

    All sorts of things pickup truck seem surrounded by basic psychological matters and poor control of common cognitive biases. Your statement for just the product rings truer if you have work or professional needs. Just the long bed in some trims does that and is worth paying for.
  11. Milwaukee area Tacoma owners?

    Welcome. There are the regional forums here and a different Toyota pickup forum has a WI thread where gatherings and more social stuff is expressed than wrenching or modifications. A Bronco owning work associate is active in a WI group that does all makes driving meet ups. I forget the name but...
  12. Brake controller harness for 4th gen Tacoma?

    It was my decision to want a trailer brake controller regardless, and it was hard to miss what was needed. Dealer quality and staffing knowledge varies and buying a vehicle in most states is a contract. I know - am senior citizen - generations of towing that was not ideal has been done but I...
  13. Brake controller harness for 4th gen Tacoma?

    I think it was @PerpetualTraveler who said ready for a lawsuit, but I find a lot of being upset over the matter inappropriate for how clear it was to me that I needed the right combo of model/version, package or individual options. It was more than the matter of brake controller, but I did not...
  14. Transmission shifting overly hard into 2nd gear after cold starts, 2-3 shift is quite noticeable. no other symptoms.

    An associate who bought about same time as the transmission TSB risk I don't but the exact same observations. Watching the transmission temp climb makes it smoother when warmer. This comes to mind. We have our own 4 vehicles, I rent, and sometimes use a fleet vehicle. They all have what can...
  15. 4th gen hate

    Yes, I got that. I did not take our option to be a first new gen Tacoma or Land Cruiser owner but was certain it was a safe choice by mid-summer 2024 when you also knew a few issues were past and volume was high. The biggest auto maker in the world with a top reputation has moved about...
  16. 4th gen hate

    No. My profession requires accuracy, honesty, reading and technology skills. What I read was the Dynamic Force engine family was already years old, the 2.4 l already shipping in other products, and the light truck version 50%+ different parts to accommodate the truck type use. I also read...
  17. Don’t get the 2024 SR5 !

    That was same for the competitors we tried though it was also clear TRD OR long bed fit my needs. Unlike those other basic models, the SR5 still had the top safety rating, good ergonomics for controls etc......
  18. 4th gen hate

    Change, jealousy, success envy????? Our long and much comparison shopping clearly showed it is good against the competition. My 4th gen doesn't in any way make my past Toyotas bad but it is superior in some important ways. I'm not a fan of the mean look a lot of current vehicles have but would...
  19. 2024 TRD OR Premium OR TRD OR Hybrid?

    I probably can't help much not knowing your actual vehicle needs and finances. In my case long bed and electric locker were musts. I didn't need any more than the mid level powertrain's torque. Payback for hybrid slight MPG increase didn't look like it could happen. No leasing or loans made...
