Nice - I'm about to order the same! Guess we'll see how it goes :)

THIS looks great. I'm about to order one. Thinking I'll opt for the large bore variation. What I'm having trouble deciding between are the hose options. Just eyeballing it under my truck, it's hard to tell what will give enough clearance to get around or through my RCI skid plate. Is the hose...

Sounds like they will work around it, or take it partly/entirely off. But I did verify they WILL charge you extra for labor (i.e. the oil change is covered, but removing the skid plate to get to it is not covered by toyota care), just FYI. Maybe that's different on trims that come with skids.

LOL just saw this. Thanks for your response, but not quite. Free oil change? Not really, I paid for it when I bought my truck. It's built into the "toyotacare" line item. I talked to the techs before the change and they assured me the skid plate (which they sell and install at that location)...

Went in for 10K maintenance on Friday. Waited 3 hours. Went home, parked for about 15 hours, and then noticed a large oil puddle (10-12 inch diameter overnight). Got under the truck and found the skid plate flooded with oil, so much it was dripping out of multiple skid plate holes. Went back...

Interesting idea- how does the sport rack mount to the truck? I would assume my tonneau cover is in the way

Hoping someone here has fresh ideas or especially experience. long story short some recent off road experiences made me a believer in traction boards. I don’t have any yet because I haven’t decided on mounting. That’s why I’m here. I have a long bed with a synetic USA tonneau cover on...

I’ll get back to you on this if I find anything concrete on the paperwork. But if memory serves it was pretty generic and frustratingly nondescript

Technically I could but the conditions would be dramatically different. And since a pretty specific set of conditions is necessary to bring about the issue, it wouldn’t really be conclusive to me

Not sure the guys title, but the top dog at the location I went to. They could have serviced the diff, im pretty sure ADD is serviceable. But they put a whole new differential in. The guy said 1. Updated hardware and 2. Updated software. Can’t really verify either

I still have it too. But not on 4LO.

FINAL POST: Picked up my truck last night. I received a new (updated) front diff as well as the software update. Wish I knew a little more than that, but hopefully Toyota will enlighten us soon. Regardless, I would suggest asking your service person to make sure you have the latest and greatest...

Ladies and gentlemen, another update: truck is still at Toyota. They decided to pull the whole front differential and replace it. I talked to a guy who seemed to be top service dog at this dealer location and he wasn’t able to speak to what specifically is different (heavily implied that Toyota...

Well I took delivery just before the 6 month point, and I think it took them that long to figure out. I have been in for service since though... My dealership just called and confirmed it is something in the front differential so they’re pulling the whole thing and replacing it. Not just the...

Great catch. I wish I could go hop in and check if it had it available… now I’m not so certain. If it did kick, what to- auto?

Yup Sheldon Brown. You can see the convo between him and TFL here: https://tfltruck.com/2024/06/video-the-real-story-behind-how-our-new-toyota-tacoma-broke-how-toyota-plans-to-fix-yours/

It took them all day to figure out that it’s “something with the front differential, our foreman is calling Toyota”. Will post another update next time there is one.

The way he was talking about it, it was going to be done at a regular service appointment because things have to be checked when it is installed and because of how rare/specific the issue is it didn’t come with a lot of urgency and they didn’t want to burden the customer. Personally I’d rather...

For those asking about timing… don’t know build date but took delivery in early August 2024. TFLs issue was 2/2024 and took about 6 months to resolve, and even with resolution Toyota hadn’t decided how to roll our software fix. It’s such a specific issue that I think it was low priority (as...
