Few do until it needs to be replaced.

Do you hate your parking pawl?

Had a passenger in the passenger back window seat. Seat belt on. Shortly after leaving a parking lot, the truck went full red alert alarm mode with the damn seatbelt chime -- for the middle back seat. Problem: Nobody was in the middle seat. Nobody was *on* the middle seat. Nobody was in the...

This is something you might want to test before popping the champagne.

The engine can adjust for lower octane gas. 86 will *probably* be okay. However, there's the non zero risk it will could cause engine damage. The minimum is 87 per the manual. I would opt for the 87 or greater and use Top Tier fuel station. This is a $45,000+ vehicle after all, and in all...

I love the classic land cruiser. Just a beautiful vehicle. I wish we could get them here.

I like that. It's like a creepy surveillance Tacoma though.

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...

How does the size compare to the stock mudguards, if you had any?

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...

You won't find one with Apple. They are the most nanny state button-down closed ecosystem when it comes to these products. Android is a wild west.

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...

Excellent. Been waiting to get one of these.

Does it need to be riveted in? Or would installing some rivetnuts do the job?

It's just you because that truck is absolutely the cats meow
