I like that a lot! Hope to find some of those rims locally on marketplace, or maybe splurge if there’s any good stacking coupons from Toyota dealerships for Black Friday. Truck looks great. I’ll keep an eye out for you on the road
Edit: what size tire?
I am thinking about 265/70/18 as well. I want slightly beefier tire but will keep the suspension and everything stock. I was originally thinking TRD Pro rims, but I am worried about the offset and rock chips, even with the wide Canadian OEM mud guards I have on. I also am leaning towards Toyo...
Got my truck. Going to take some pictures to share this weekend.
it came with general grabber HTS 60 tires. I don’t know how these will be for New England winters, so I may need to get some tires quickly (leaning towards Toyo AT3 over Falken Wildpea AT4w). Then the next decision is if I want to...
My experience was very similar to yours, OP. I found the specific truck I was looking for online, which had limited availability in my area. (Sport, Premium, Long bed, Wind Chill Pearl). I emailed the dealership and asked for a VSPEC with price. I took that information to my local dealership and...
Back in the day I had a 2003.5 MazdaSpeed Protege. I totaled it, ripped out the turbo parts, and then put it all in a 2003 Mazda Protege5 (NA hatch). That was a fun little car! Now I drive a Honda Accord with 200k miles. It runs amazing, the rust is going to destroy the car before mechanical...
Waiting to take delivery on my Tacoma with JBL system. In my previous vehicles, I usually install a headunit (don't need to for this new truck) and door speakers/tweeters, plus a sub in a ported box powered by a monoblock amp. I wanted more bass when I test drove the Tacoma, but it's not like...
Good info. Any pics of OEM? I usually get weathertech in my vehicles. My Tacoma will come with OEM all weather floor liners when I get it. I have read that there is not as much coverage in the driver front with them.
First truck here (when I take delivery next month) and I’m trying to piece together/look for resources on a good “tool kit” for the Tacoma.
Jumper cables, first aid kit, ratchet straps, flashlight, road flares… that sort of thing. Nothing extremely specialized for camping or trails, just...
Since these will be daily driver tires on 95% paved roads, and I live in New England (rain and snow), I’m thinking the Wildpeak AT3 tires would be my best bet to pair with the 18” TRD Pro rims.
Compared to other options, such as K02s, my research has told me that the Wildleak AT3s are quieter...
Thanks for the info! Do you think putting a stock TRD Pro setup on the Sport (same tires as the user posted previously) would sacrifice any MPG? And are those tires good for snow?
First truck, so I’m a noob when it comes to truck wheels and tires. Most of my experience in this field was installing coilovers, sway bars, and adjustable endlinks on (and lowering) my 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege, hah.
I hate the chrome accent on the TRD Sport rims. I want to get the factory TRD...
2025 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 6’ bed with Premium Package in Wind Chill Pearl will be ready for pickup in late October. Was shopping for 3rd gen’s (2020-2023 same specs in Lunar Rock) for almost a year, when I finally test drove a 4th gen. Was instantly sold on it.
First order of business, living...
New Truck will be ready in October. What do you recommend for the northeast winters? Fluid film? Wool wax? Other? First new vehicle, I’ve always been a touch less undercarriage spray car wash kind of guy, but want to protect this truck a bit more. Thanks
