All the manufacturers who produce a "Limited" model of a truck seem to follow the same script: chrome mirror caps and door handles; rims, to an extent (some do it better than others); grilles; front lower valance; and other trim pieces. I'm old, so I don't mind chrome—but I think it's too much...

As most of us know, not all Toyota parts sites are created equal. The generic site that most dealers link to is lacking, to say the least, but occasionally, you find some good ones. I'm curious to hear what folks like. I'm not asking about the best prices—just sites that give you confidence...

Looks like Toyota screwed this up, I think. Here are the part numbers I ordered in September for Supersonic Red with the cutouts: 87915-AK030-D0 (RH) 87945-AK030-D0 (LH) Months later, I finally get a chance to install them and discover that the driver’s side does not have the cutout, while...

My wife is out west, so yesterday, I went out strictly to play in the snow and take pictures. Then, after I got home, I had a completely unbalanced meal and washed it down with straight vodka. It was glorious!

This is starting to make the rounds on the forum. The fit is perfect, and it integrates seamlessly with the rest of the cab. This will suit my needs, but I understand some folks may want a more robust (and expensive) version. The best part is that, being plastic, I can modify it for the items I...

Behold...... This is the crappy saleman pic. Proper photos will be taken with the really expensive camera gear sitting in my basement in the future. EDIT: I can't get rid of this bottom picture so double the viewing pleasure.

Christmas is fast approaching but rates are lower. Estimated Delivery window opens today.:cwl:

For those who don't know my story (it's buried in another thread), I should have had my truck in late September. I don't know all the details, but according to the tracking system, it was on the hauler headed to the dealership. However, it never arrived. It turns out it was damaged either at the...

I've been keeping an eye on this, and reports confirm that no car carriers will be off-loaded, along with any other shipments. I'm really curious how Toyota will handle this, considering there's only so much space to store trucks at the port. Will they find alternative storage sites? How will...

I used AI to identify the VINs of unsold trucks. What I did was use the KissMyGrits downloads, loaded them, and had ChatGPT compare them against the VIN list on the TSB, instructing it to look for a match or numerically lower values. As always, I make no claim to the accuracy. UPDATE: I...

As I was poking around the internet, I came across this site. It's more about the engine family and not the Tacoma installation per say but is interesting if your into the technical side of things. https://www.toyota-club.net/files/faq/21-09-20_faq_t24-engine_en.htm

The build date was today and it popped on Toyota.com. I dare say it's the only red Limited Max in New England. Now the real wait begins.

So, I ended up on a Connecticut dealer site looking for a particular truck and noticed the "Vehicle is in build status..." verbiage. What struck me was that these trucks were all built in weeks 32, 33, and 34. The estimated delivery dates were late October to early November. You won't find this...

I made a few calls with no luck, but I did learn a few things. Apparently, there is a planned production run of hybrids starting in mid-August. I called two dealers, and both had Hybrid-Limited allocations for mid-August in the Wind Chill color. Naturally, I told them that if they could change...

...and I was pretty impressed. Impressed enough that I'm canceling my hold on a non-hybrid and will wait for what I want. I was curious about how the hybrid assist worked, and it's definitely not a standard setup. It kicks in on any type of acceleration, but as soon as you let off, it goes back...
