I’ve had my 2025 for a year. I love the appearance. I hate the clunky 4WD system. Forty years of driving Toyotas, worst system I’ve ever experienced. My other Toyotas had manual transfer cases and of course now they are electronic systems.

The short answer is yes, this appears to be normal, but it’s the worst system I have ever had. Both my older Toyotas had manual transfer cases and this is my first experience with an electronic 4WD system. (I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, or it’s just the design of the front...

I have those grill lights as well. The first time they came on when I was in the garage I thought my truck was going full. Christine on me and was haunted. Now I am used to it.

Wow to the wise. When making these rescues, be very emphatic to the driver you are rescuing not to drive off until you disconnect the tow strap. I know it seems obvious but… I had it happened to me once a few years ago. 🙄. I pulled a lady out of the snowbank and before I could step out of...

In between. That photo of the dashboard was at Kashwitna Lake last week. (Near Willow) Of course you’re probably aware of what’s happening today. The pineapple express from Hawaii headed north and it is pouring down rain in Anchorage and Willow. The temperature literally changed 65° in just a...

I certainly like them on days like this. 🥶

After year s of BF Goodrich KO2s, I went with the Bridgestone on my 2025 Tacoma. I would say they are a little bit quieter on the highway than the KO2s. I found the BFGoodrich a little better on ice, but I think the Bridgestone is as good or better in the snow. I also stayed with the stock...

It’s kind of ironic this thread popped up today. I love the heated seats and wish I had a heated steering wheel.

My complaint is the 10 minute runtime is not adequate in serious cold weather. When it is ranging from 10 to 20 below zero, 10 minutes just doesn’t get it. You can only restart it one more time for a total of 20 minutes. It seems like it wouldn’t take much of a software upgrade to allow...

actually, most dealers want $65 for one of those OEM loops. My dealer wanted $85. I got those red ones on Amazon for $40 give or take. So I was happy to trade two for one. It saved me money and the guy on marketplace who traded for them got a smoking deal because it only cost him one recovery...

I too have an SR5 with an aftermarket skid plate. I have one by DV8 because I could install it without having the cross member. However, the contours did prevent the billet style recovery points from bolting down flat. I discover the OEM loop style does bolt flat. I just put the loop...

[same with me. My 85 truck is a five speed and so is my 4Runner. Both had the manual transfer case. So this is my first electronic four-wheel-drive switch and my first automatic transmission. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the lame operation, but it’s slightly irritating and...

I have been driving Toyota 4WD trucks (including 4Runner) since 1985 and my 2025. Tacoma is by far the worst when it comes to 4WD. It binds, it clunks, and has made some disturbing bang noises. I was told by the service department these are all “normal” to use his explanation. I only have...

Mine came with heated seats but not the heated steering wheel. It seems odd to me that those two aren’t combined. I wish mine had it, but it doesn’t. Since it is 0° out today, I just let the truck warm up extra long. 🥶😂

I’m not holding my breath. I wanted the Xtracab but really disappointed that Toyota only offered it in SR and SR5 trims. I bought an SR5 and now I’m spending quite a bit of money to upgrade it to my liking. Leather seat covers could be nice. I talked to a local upholstery shop. He told me...

It’s one of my dislikes with the GEN four Tacoma. I was in four-wheel-drive because the roads are completely icy where I live in Alaska. As I pulled out of a parking spot at the grocery store and made a fairly normal turn, my wheels ran over a section of pavement that did not have ice on it...

I’m getting those installed on my 2025 today at Costco. I’ve run KO2s on my prior Toyotas. I decided to try something new this time around. I can update in a few days after some winter driving in Alaska.

There are too many options out there now to try out 5 tires and claim you have the best. There are many You Tubers doing empirical testing on many different brands often out scoring these. I have found a lot of it is personal preference after 49 years of Alaska driving. I’ve been running...

Looks nice. I sure wish I had a lift. I got to install my skid plate and nerf bars lying on my back in the driveway.

Did you ever find some? I like mine ok.
