Seriously? I assumed that was the dealer's price and not MSRP. If the MSRP goes up by that much Taco sales will tank, there is no questions in my mind about that. I have seen that prediction too. If that is how it plays out then already high car/truck prices will go up further, but Tacoma sales...

Wow - that is one impressive gouge! I guess we all knew this stuff was coming but somehow we were hoping that dealers would not take advantage. That was silly, of course they will abuse buyers up to whatever they can get away with. Maybe I can drive my truck for a few years and sell it for a...

Good point and that is almost sure to happen. In fact it is already being planned by several of our trading partners.

What @The Dude said. The rear speakers were broken on purpose by the head unit outputs Toyota/JBL selected. There are basically two solutions. As @wire4money said you can boost the output and increase the levels to the rear speakers with fade, or just give up and install a real system that can...

My 2nd gen was built in California and my Tundra was built in Texas, and both were perfect. I know that Toyota builds a lot of the vehicles sold in the US inside our country. Automakers in today's world build their products with parts from all around the world, which is the same for most things...

Just trying to keep this stuff straight. The White House now says that the tariffs will apply to both assembled cars/trucks and to auto parts imported and used in US production. So there will definitely be some big price increases on our vehicles, even those made in the US. Cars and trucks are...

Yeah, I agree. I'm no snowflake - people can like what I buy or hate it, I don't care. I know people who love this guy because of his Toyota mechanic background. So I was super surprised to see a clickbait video from him with mostly just made up bs. His unfortunate truth video about the Pro...

Here is the summary from Cox on the effects of the tariffs. “By mid-April we expect disruption to virtually all North American vehicle production,” Mr. Smoke said on Wednesday during a conference call with clients and reporters. “Bottom line: Lower production, tighter supply and higher prices...

Yeah - last year the Pro sucked big time and the stuff he complained about is mostly the same on the TH. So what changed? I bet the differential sticker is still upside down, which had his panties in bunch. What about that terrible power tailgate? What about the air cleaner and transfer case...

Wow - government speak can be hard to follow! I assume that means parts might be exempt from tariffs for now, but I don't get the bit about a system in place to apply tariffs to non-US tariffs. That also sounds like parts might be exempt but not completed autos? Sudden changes and uncertainty...

That is good news. US production is the obvious answer, and I'm sure that Toyota now wishes that production in San Antonio would have been expanded instead of moving it south of the border. But Toyota gambled on Mexico, which seemed like a safe bet based on the existing trade agreements between...

Interesting and that brings me back to why I started this thread in the first place. The biggest complaint about 4th gens is already the price and $6k would pretty much kill Tacoma sales. The one question remaining is whether Toyota will apply this to Tacos or spread this cost across all of...

Those look great on your Bronze Oxide OR! I like the OEM TH wheels but I think yours looks even better with the black, which goes really well with the flairs. For me that is just about the perfect poke too.

That definitely sounds like something on the front suspension/steering gear hitting something to make that click. I would start by just taking a careful look because it is loud enough to probably leave a mark. I would probably also try out @maxx075's suggestion of removing and replacing the...

Yeah - always more where that one came from anyway. When it wasn't a cardinal it was a robin or a jay. It's horny bird season - kind of reminds me of my teenage years. :)

When I lived in Ohio there was one window in my pole barn that birds did that to every spring. It was darker than the other windows, so I think they were seeing their reflections and defending their territory. I'm not sure how to prevent that other than to cover the windows with something...

Sometimes stuff like that is because of something minor like a connector or sensor, and sometimes it is something serious. There should definitely be codes to let your dealer know what is going on. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Thanks. If mine came with torque values I never found them.

@Slappy I also see the same thing on the side glass near that trim. Is it possible that something was sprayed on your truck at some point? I have no idea what that might be, but it seems strange that it also appears on the glass.

@Roro4g63 I see your torque wrench in the picture of the front tow hooks. What torque setting did you use when you installed them? I just used the as tight as my 1/2" drive would make them method when I installed mine. I am really liking my Canadian mud flaps. Between them and my sliders I have...
