I really hate these vague statements too. It shouldn't be a guess. To the silver haired pickleball crowd, that might be 60 mph. To a 17 year old, that might be 110 mph. "High speed" is given an actual value in the section on the turbo cool down. Toyota calls "high speed" as over 50mph.
So I...
Here's what the 2024 Tacoma owners manual says. This is cut and paste from it. I suspect it's a bad idea to do anything on this list.
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:
For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
For the first 500...
You have strong opinions, but they're not informed opinions. Exxon supplies the base oil. The buyer can order anything they want to put in it. And in the case of Toyota, it's not just a rebranded bottle. The virgin oil analysis proves this. What your dealer chooses to use in the car has no...
I have an underground truck as well. The finish on the paint is really bad. It's embarrassing how bad it is. The problem is you don't notice it until you really have a long time to look at it. And you have to have perfect lighting. It's not going to be at the dealership. There's almost no way...
You get one month free on a trial. Considering you can buy a single month for $10, that doesn't seem like it's going to hurt the bottom line considering the average 2024 Tacoma is about $45,000.
I have an older OBDLink LX, the cheaper OBDLink. Just checked it with the Tacoma and Carista app. It connects just fine and all changes can be made. No need to buy the Carista OBD link adapter if you already have the OBDLink. I tried it with an older Android phone that I normally use for this...
Manual says oil needs to be ILSAC GF-6A. I think anything meeting Dexos1 Gen3 would be optimal. Its a tighter spec with particular attention to turbo longevity and LSPI prevention.
All Dexos1 Gen3 is ILSAC GF-6A, but not all ILSAC is Dexos. You know, like how all squares are rectangles but not...
Low fuel lights stress me out. Big time. I never used to get stressed about it until I started doing remote motorcycle trips where fuel is a big deal and you can literally die. I guess the thing to do is throw a jerry can in the back of the truck and just drive it until it quits. The Toyota...
I shopped a Frontier before getting a Tacoma. The Frontier came in a fair bit cheaper, until you start adding things to the Frontier -- and then you end up with Tacoma pricing. For instance, the standard Frontier bed is plain metal, not composite. The towing package is not a standard feature...
