  1. Buying from a Remote Dealership

    The award winning service dealer near our home was happy to service other Toyotas we bought elsewhere. They are good for service but not for deals and getting less popular allocations. Doing this again but 50 miles away I made a proactive call to the service department and suggest that. The...
  2. 2024 Tacoma Truck Cap / Camper Shell Market Survey!

    Quality, weight & freight would be my concerns. Freight to ship something so large from China would likely eat up margin a closer maker could use for quality control. My experience with buying direct from China is at times poor quality so a warranty claim for something this big could be a big...
  3. POLL: Have *you* experienced transmission problems?

    With a sticky post that points out it will likely be smoother when warmed up just like I know competitors' transmission are too.
  4. Transmission Failures Keep Coming

    Complaints and much evidence that lots of people would not pass stats class. For sure it is not good when someone has problems, it's not good that so many car makers have parts shortages so long after pandemic, but it otherwise seems better than all vehicles used to be and Toyota is standing...
  5. Trailhunter - tonneau cover?

    The bed assembly specific to your model - ARB bar - might have compatibility issues. Otherwise this stuff is universal for a handful of pickups I've owned. Nothing will be truly secure. Even a well-clamped cap can break in an accident. When thieves want something they get it if in your cab, a...
  6. Hood Scoop or not to Scoop ?

    No but locker rear axle TRD OR has was the biggest factor in my deciding.
  7. Turn off cruise control

    My perspective is from losing a family member in an accident because others messed up and were behaving badly. Keep your hands on the wheel. Even with a fantastic record and experience driving heavy haul I don't want any risk of messing up so the safety suite in the 4th gen was a significant...
  8. STILLEN Air Intake Box & Dyno Results for 2024 Tacoma

    I'm not arguing against any thread and don't understand your seeming to be agitated. This air box mod is the sort of thing that interests me but for different reasons than others. Somehow thinking there should not be different styles of pickups even if I don't want them really goes against how I...
  9. STILLEN Air Intake Box & Dyno Results for 2024 Tacoma

    Nothing says I don't. I'm not alone with the utilitarian interests. This one of two Tacoma related forums is more focused on new stuff and understandable. The sub-forums here and for sure on another site more about travel, DIY and various build or mod and product things seem to show more like...
  10. STILLEN Air Intake Box & Dyno Results for 2024 Tacoma

    A dear friend who's passed away did engineering physics research in a lab funded by 3 auto makers and defense grants. As a hobby interest he build engines for race cars. Now it would be aging work, but he forever spoke of that matter of the sensor and other components as a bottlenecks. His...
  11. STILLEN Air Intake Box & Dyno Results for 2024 Tacoma

    Not finding a need and finding no or diminishing returns for what money is spent is not crusading against those who are into their vehicle as something like a hobby or sport. In my situation I would not want to compromise the filtering performance or warranty but would definitely consider a...
  12. How's the Standard Seats/Interior for Wet and Sand ?

    Good luck. My friend with the Bronco admits it is easier for him because they have the complimentary civilized family car and his business has different sized work vans. My '24 Tacoma has around 3500 miles now and fuel economy is generally in line with EPA estimates. It is not at all hard to...
  13. How's the Standard Seats/Interior for Wet and Sand ?

    The premium package seats are full of little holes we figured would be a problem for our lifestyle, and we were put off by cameras and features beyond what we wanted. I'm not a surfer but trail building, ski area crew, and river running is full of dirt and sand. The airbag compatible seat...
  14. White smoke or vapor at startup?

    It looks just like my wife's turbocharged late model German car. Some mornings with cooler weather arriving I've seen that. Nothing unusual when warmed up and no oil consumption standing out for the Tacoma or that car. If someone thinks there's a definite problem, watch for unusual oil and fuel...
  15. 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine noise reduction with premium fuel

    I haven't noticed any sound differences since early break in period. A slight boost in fuel economy isn't paid for by the price difference. My pickup seems utility and work oriented compared to many here. Regular fuel is working just fine when taking big payload trips for work or to my cabin...
  16. List of Unsold 2024 Tacoma Affected by the Transmission TSB as of 12/18/24 *UPDATED*

    It's not 1/2 a percent of what's been sold so far, and the surprise to me is mine made in June and delivered July 15 is not in the VIN range. I assumed most would be sold through already.
  17. Is the intermittent wiper timing adjustment right?

    Same as our Sienna but opposite our other Japanese brand and German car.
  18. BIGGEST COMPLAINT - Excessive Dusty Interior

    From usually cleaning 2-3 vehicles in same day or close, the 2024 Tacoma interior gets dusty at same rate as our completely different brands and vehicle types. Of course gets dirtier when I'm in trail builder mode/tasks that are off road, or traveling near the cabin on unpaved roads with a...
  19. Trailhunter owners: 5ft vs 6ft bed decision?

    Answering someone who thought my long bed looked more like a real truck I said, no, that was my Kenworth. Most funny with that theme was several times our minivan saved the day for people with 5 and 5.5 ft bed pickups. Thinking back to my first pickup a 1971 C20, they've changed into 2 markets...
  20. I don’t understand the hype

    That is maybe the hardest to understand within your complaints. I definitely made sure I followed break in period instructions but right away and in test rides the performance was as good or better than competitors and especially in normal mode vs eco. It is a light truck of body on frame type...
