  1. Gas Milage

    Mine's TRD OR long bed. Probably 1500-1600 miles now. 16.5 - 25.5 MPG. I fully understand a tank with some MTB trail work sessions and traversing ski area service roads all in 4x4 isn't efficient. 40-60 MPH in Eco using adaptive cruise was the above 25 MPG. Getting 19 MPG for 200 miles of...
  2. Toyota tech tip on transmission failure: "Torque Converter Required During Transmission Replacement With Debris"

    Nothing yet says there are wide spread problems but cleaning swarf/chips/turnings has always been a part of manufacturing and some getting in final product has always been a problem. Thankfully not the problem it once was. I know the latter painfully well as a senior citizen who bought 1970s-80s...
  3. Rear Window Decals! What's on your rear window! 📸

    My Fas-Top can cover the window. This frivolous spend at the book store entertained the family and seems to entertain others far more than I expected. Now our kids have us at 4 generations of flagship Madison grads, volunteers, entrepreneurs, professionals and a family working to not be "bumps...
  4. Apple Carplay Problems.

    That reads no different than a wired or other vehicle CarPlay issue such as your Siri listening. The Android/Apple mobile stuff is something I know well - supporting it by the hundreds in an enterprise through Q1 of this year. My testing the obvious problem was with 3 different phones, testing...
  5. Apple Carplay Problems.

    Earlier here or Tacomaworld or both I documented and other agreed there's a problem where you have to go into bluetooth settings and re-enable CarPlay. My testing was different versions of phones and OS. Same careful methods used in my day job. Most of the time you don't have to delete and...
  6. My baby got totaled in head-on collision @ 90mph (photos & video)

    I'm glad you're okay and best wishes to the others. Our family member killed by a fool was also of faith but not in a top rated for safety pickup so your dash cam footage illustrated something very important to my wife. We'd not have bought ours if it didn't have that rating. If you had a...
  7. Fas-Top Traveler (all in one tonneau & soft topper) for 2024 Tacoma initial review

    Update: Friday I took around 1500 pounds of building materials, tools, supplies & 3 mammals to our cabin site in strong headwinds and two downpour storms. The front of the bed was surprisingly dry. I purposely don't have the seals at tailgate and any moisture there made sense. Overall it was not...
  8. 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    I replied to a comment on the to TRD Pro that by a few measures is a halo/top/niche/luxury type vehicle. Also with knowing those types often retain less value than other vehicles. My advice for someone worried about retaining value with a Tacoma would be consider a long bed with mid to nicer...
  9. 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    That did not hurt the value of my 4Runner that had the transmission dropped and major parts replaced 3x in a combo of what became a recall or TSB and dealer incompetence. Our Sienna had the doors and brakes recalls plus a minor body repair. What people wanted to and did pay or it was kind of...
  10. Brand New Tacoma owner any tips?

    Learn all the options and submenus for both physical screens including the option/arrow/direction in your main display. Note the items not selected with defaults. Yes, there's 3PMSF certified version of the OEM BF Goodrich Trail Terrain I'll consider because I'm favorably impressed with the...
  11. Fas-Top Traveler (all in one tonneau & soft topper) for 2024 Tacoma initial review

    My order was July 15 and it showed up August 2 even though they repeated or posted 4+ lead time. My adjustment mentioned was all about pivot location for the topper part. Their suggested measurement had the top too close to the cab and it would not clear that lip or rubbed it. Moving the pivot...
  12. Fas-Top Traveler (all in one tonneau & soft topper) for 2024 Tacoma initial review

    This all in one is perfect for my needs, offering the utility of an open bed truck and the covered hauling my van provided. It's easy to remove with a cotter pin on each side and takes up minimal space when stored in the bed. It reminds me of my days as a flatbed and equipment hauler where...
  13. Choice Between Hybrid and Non-Hybrid Gasoline: What Influenced Your Decision?

    The cab is my big ouch. Our Sienna SE was traded for the TRD OR and our Outback is going to child in grad school and needing it for clinical work. That means one of my skiing and biking pals is crunched in back opposed to total luxury of the Sienna SE back captain style seating.
  14. 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    I'm wondering how many or if people writing and spreading that have actually looked at the NHTSA complaints I did knowing I was making a new model purchase. Not all of the now 13 complaints are powertrain and transmission. Some of the 13 are easily interpreted as gripes and possibly unfounded...
  15. Software (infotainment) bug in Bluetooth & Devices settings.

    Most if not still all of Android Auto and CarPlay operate on QNX. Nothing I know of confirms that as an absolute yes. Toyota has also supported SDL that's different but I understand related for the device communications. An iPhone will also prompt for WiFi if turned off. There my understanding...
  16. ICE CAP 2024 Tacoma Thread (4th Gen)

    White for as simple and functional as can be with the right features on purpose. By the right features, long bed, electric locker, AC inverter and good sound system. We won't be abusive on purpose but it was bought for actual light truck use. My use scenario might make some here cringe. We're...
  17. Software (infotainment) bug in Bluetooth & Devices settings.

    What occurs (what I meant in the post) is the bottom choice in the screen shot where Bluetooth settings go from "Use For Apple CarPlay" on to off. What preceded the screen shot was I drove to work with CarPlay working displaying map while playing an Audible book. When I got in the vehicle to...
  18. Software (infotainment) bug in Bluetooth & Devices settings.

    At this point my discovery sure seems to be a bug. I've applied professional level troubleshooting methodology. What I mean there is my job includes managing devices and wireless at scale and at a high level. My pickup loses the ability to tap to or start in CarPlay. I've absolutely made sure...
  19. 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    Above all I hope everyone with issues get them fixed right away. I know it's horribly frustrating because we had a long wait for parts and qualified technicians with our last new vehicle purchase. The membership here is actually a good sample size. The troubles and issues sub-forum is not...
  20. Choice Between Hybrid and Non-Hybrid Gasoline: What Influenced Your Decision?

    The long bed became the main point but we did consider the hybrid powertrain for new Land Cruiser and Tacomas. It seemed inane to own a pickup that could not do what the Sienna could while facing a next few years needing tow and carry capacity the van could not do. While my Tacoma now has to be...
