Factory bed mats are pretty great! Iāve heard great things about bedrug too though I have no personal experience with them/im not sure if bedrug has stuff for the 24ās yet
I feel you. Iām in the same spot right now. Debating 5 vs 6ā bed because that will determine whether or not I go hybrid. I drive in stop and go traffic all day and work out of my vehicle, so for me that small mpg gain and the 2400w inverter would make a measurable difference. But 6ā beds are so...
Hey folks ā does anyone know if the arb compressor that comes with the built in accessory package in the bed with that nice digital gauge is the twin or single compressor? Iāve been trying to find this info and have come up empty.
Im not getting a TH, but this is an attachment Iād like to...
Got room for one more on your box? Lol
Yeah itās such a mess dude. My last vehicle was something like 36k and now the same thing sells for 65k. Itās Bananas. This whole price increase thing is the awful result of several factors coming to fruition at once ā including years of wage stagnation in...
Yup. Hopefully we get some much needed clarity on this soon.
based on some interviews with Sheldon etc, Iād been under the impression that the ~1700 payload number on the TH didnāt include the standard equipment/protection/accessories that are bolted on with the trim? But maybe not.
Iām still...
caps are super useful imo ā gotta love locking storage. Iād suggest getting doors or āwindoorsā for the sides otherwise reaching things near the cab side of the bed can get tricky/bothersome. Personally, Iām prob gonna slap something thatās part cap part tent on mine since I camp all the time...
yup
I mean I see all sorts of folks in Tacomas every day since theyāre such a solid Swiss Army knife of a vehicle but with TRD Pros/super modded up rigsā¦. Itās usually one dude by himself with maybe a dog. Thatās just my own experience tho, not a proper sample set. Though something tells me...
Shoot if it can do that at 25mph thatāll help a lot in city traffic even if itās only doing it in brief little spurts. Hereās hoping! I drive from vendor to vendor all day doing pickups/returns and end up in a lot of stop and go traffic as a result. Hopefully when they officially drop the...
For sure. I tend to own vehicles for a long time so Iād maybe entertain doing something like this years down the line. Deff not worth doing out the gate or anything like that.
I have a question about the hybrid power train in the taco and how it works. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge of this stuff knows the answer⦠itās just a bit above my pay grade haha
So I know this powertrain, much like the tundraās, is tuned for performance not MPG and the battery...
And if Stellantis drops the 4xe powertrain into the gladiator next year, thatāll make the competition increase too! I really hope ford and Jeep do this ā itād be nice to have more options and get them trying to out-compete each other on mpg/performance numbers.
agreed. I think the closest to the best of both worlds is a PHEV powertrain though those come with their own trade offs as well.
I recently drove a family memberās wrangler 4xe for an eclipse road trip and that thing was zippy. But once the battery runs out youāre lugging extra weight and the...
Love what you guys are churning out so far!
would you ever consider making aluminum bed cap covers to replace the oem plastic ones? I canāt speak from personal experience, but Iāve heard from some folks who run campers or certain caps that plastic bed cap covers can warp over time ā having an...
The one bit of semi useful news I gleaned from this glorified commercial is they mentioned they were averaging 15mpg towing that trailer and driving fairly fast. Not as useful as an actual epa rating but itās ⦠something? Not much when we donāt know the weight of the trailer etc but hey
Theyāre...
yep. Same here. That short box is soooo nimble. I will say this vid gives me further peace of mind about deciding on a DCLB, because Iām not planning to do more than this sorta thing with it off road anyway so itāll be fine. I haul too much nonsense around for work for a 5ā bed, otherwise Iād...
I think the grumblings about pricing are about a larger issue that extends far beyond the automotive world. Inflation has been insane. Greed-flation has been insane. And for decades wages in the US have been essentially stagnant in so many sectors while the cost of living has increased...
Hmmm definitely a full bedrug first. Then bed stiffeners ā whichever are lower profile. I realize they have to stick out somewhat to maintain strength but itād be nice if they were more slim to accommodate for drawers/gear storage systems in the bed. Then upgraded tires/wheels after
Iād be...
Iāve always thought that sentiment stems from the fact that bigger, heavier vehicles cause far more wear and tear on our public infrastructure + are far more likely to cause a fatality in a pedestrian accident (and do more damage in accidents general) cus theyāre so high up and heavy. And they...
