Did you ever find some? I like mine ok.

Generally speaking I’m not a fan of side steps. With a 5’2” wife they were a necessity. I even considered mounting one on the pax side only but it looked goofy so I put on both sides. I’ve learned to use it getting in and out. Trying to step over just caused a dirty pant leg. I found a...

I’m basically in the same boat. (I’ll be 63 in 2 Days) I bought my first Toyota in 1986. It’s an ‘85 Xtracab. (Ten years before the Tacoma nameplate). I finally replaced it this year with a 2025 Tacoma Xtracab. I drove the 1985 truck for 39 years and 300k on the stock 22RE. I kept the old...

I really like my Celestial Silver. It hides the dirt so well. 😂

Oh man. I thought I was done. (Just waiting for my new tires to arrive). I guess a good time to do this is when I have the wheels off. 😀 Thanks for the great instructions.

Thanks for posting the parts. It made it way easier to order what I needed. I installed mine today. It wasn’t too bad, but not entirely without drama. The OEM torque screws on that hinge are really shallow and really tight. Of course, I stripped out the bottom one. It took a little extra...

Some people must like chrome because the manufacturers keep using it. The rest of us have to spend a bundle to rid of it. ?

I found one on Amazon for my 8” screen. It is a glass protector like the ones for iPhones. Easy install and it works great. Cleans easily.

i know this must vary a bit around the country, but I have developed a rating system for various trims available in my neck of the woods (Alaska). I would be curious to hear how it shakes out in other places. Trail Hunter “Bigfoot.” Rumor has it that there are a few around, but good luck seeing...

Most states have the legal requirement for auxiliary lights only be used in conjunction with high beams. It’s nice that Toyota set people on the path to a correct (and legal) installation. ?

Toyota is all over the map with their packages. My 2025 SR5 Xtracab does not have the easy lower tail gate. And although it allegedly has the upgrade package, it does not get everything. Yes to heated seats, LED bed lights, spray in bed liner. But no to heated steering wheel, QI charger or...

I got one. It wasn’t the easiest process. I live in Alaska, but found one in Washington state. I went down and bought it and shipped it up on a car carrier vessel. Replacing my 1985. (I bought it in ‘86)

Yep. I noticed that on my 2025 a couple days ago. It’s not etching or numbers, it’s smudges. It doesn’t seem to impact the effectiveness of the lights, but it makes them look shoddy.

What state are you in? Toyota won’t let you simply return them? I have an extra cab and really want to put the predator style steps on it. But I might consider these if the shipping isn’t too crazy. I’ll get back to you.

The mpg numbers people are posting sound crazy. I just picked up a 2025 4WD SR5. Combined driving (3/4 highway) I am getting 26mpg. additional: this average was my first tank of fuel. The 26.0 MPG was after putting 320 miles on the truck. It looks like my range will be about 400 miles on the...

I bought a 2025 two days ago. There was no mention of Toyota Care, or any maintenance plan. Maybe it’s because I was an out of state buyer? I wonder if my local dealer will honor any of that.?

I’m curious what’s going to happen. I put down a deposit a couple weeks ago on a 2025 that was “in production.” I specifically asked the dealer about the threatened tariffs. Of course the salesman said nothing to worry about. I insisted on the price in writing. If they raise it a nickel, I’m...

I’ve been driving a truck (the same one) for 40 years. I have yet to come up with a single reason why I would need a power tailgate. It seems like a gimmick waiting to break or freeze in winter. Luckily, the trim I want to get doesn’t come with the power tailgate. That is if Toyota ever...

I know how you feel. Back in the early 1980s, I purchased my first new truck. I was on my way home with it the day of the purchase, and a vehicle crossed the center line and hit me head on, totaling my truck with about 12 miles on the odometer. Other than the trauma of a crash and any...

This is uplifting and depressing all at the same time. Toyota has all but eliminated the Xtracab. I tried to get one for a year, and was told by my dealer already that he can't get one. Thanks for posting.
