Your choice; it's a free country. I merely gave my practical experience answering his question. Did you have a positive suggestion for a product for the op? After reading more entries I see you did, good on you, pard; I'm sure you've used them all.
The OEM has worked fine for me on my 6' bed these past 18 months. Much tighter fit than the 3 Gen I had on previous Taco, significantly fewer leaks. The braces hold the folded cover up at highway speeds. Sturdy enough to work well as a shooting bench and doesn't show the surface scrapes much at all.
I agree with Gear_yyc from my experience with Toyota 4x2's. Swing by your local tire store and pick up a good set of tire chains just for insurance. (I put about 200 lbs. in the bed)
I almost went back to my trade-in when dealing on my '24 because the extended warranty was pushed so hard citing all the electronics and other technology. Ultimately I passed on the extended warranty for the '24 just like I had on the 6 new Toyota's I'd purchased over the years. Time will tell....
Great idea. When I tore the sidewall of the OEM tire on some rocks I couldn't get the OEM jack under the axle because of the ruts I was in. To run it up between the ruts put the pickup on too much of a slant to safely do the work. Thanks for posting.
I understand why Mary is crazy. Anyone on this forum who criticizes an owner for what he/she wants to buy on their rig has been drinking bad water. My choice is very basic for what I need to do, what I want to do in my God's country (picture posted). I enjoy watching what others like to put...
Snowman jps, go back to Ruissimo entry on July 30, 2024. He has a link there, scroll down and Real Truck sells them for about $8.00 US. (This is near the top of page 3 on my computer.)
Is 0W-16 the oil being used in the newest Tacoma's? My go to service guy said they were charging an additional $50 bucks for oil changes on new Toyota's because of the cost of the new oil. IDK, just what he said.
I have a '24 and love it. Check for recalls as there are a couple. I had one in the batch with transmission problems. Great dealer service replaced it at 2,500 miles when it failed. Have 30K now and smiling.
One thing that bothers me about the fee is not that Toyota needs it to maintain or upgrade tower communications because their vehicles already have a feature that lets the dealer know when I need to schedule an appointment. They text and tell me, so the company is "talking" with the rig already...
You'll be fine using the advise above. Just remember the 4x4 helps you move, but does not help you stop. Also, unless the Sport doesn't have it, there's the "manual shift" side of the transmission if you want to hold the rpm's up.
I get it, Max. I just choose to not do it. I used the subscription for the year I paid for it, then use other apps that serve the purposes I want and go without the other stuff. Just sayin'.
