With my 265/70 R18, I am squawking into 2nd and 3rd gear sometimes. Light rear-end with BFG KO2's.

This is one of the reasons I bought the manual Tacoma, even with the TRD Sport, the rear axle is larger and built along the Trailhunter and TRD Pro drivetrain.

You can still drive it home. I drove mine like that for over a month before the new transmission came in.

My Aunt and Uncle were Greek immigrants back in the 1970's to 1980's and they lived in the QC and he worked at one of the Deere facilities back then. He made enough good money to move his family back to Greece in the late 1980's after many years of hard work. We used to take Hwy. 2 from...

I would disagree, my 2016 SR Tacoma built in Texas never had one issue for 8 years and 123,000 miles built with non-union labor. Same with my 2010 SR5 Tacoma built at NUMMI in Fremont, no issues over 8 years built with UAW labor.

My 2010 SR5 was built with union labor at Fremont, CA, no issues over 8 years. My 2016 SR was built with non-union labor at San Antonio, TX, no issues over 8 years. Union labor is irrelevant.

No, Toyota is planning a Maverick killer compact unibody truck which costs must less than a Tacoma. Plan is lower labor costs in Mexico will offset this just like how the Ford Maverick is produced in Mexico to save on labor costs.

With my old 86 and 35's, rev the engine, 2nd gear, low-4 and drop the clutch and get un-stuck. It depends on the off-road situation, if you can crawl in 1st gear, fine, if you need some muscle, starting out in 2nd gear, low-4 works great to avoid hitting rev limiter right away. With this same...

My under $5 blind spot mirror solution. Works great at highway speeds and are the only mirrors I use at speed. The rest is only used for backing up. My old 2010 SR5, I broke the passenger side mirror off but still had the skeleton arm. Solution for about a year before I finally fixed it was...

First off, it is a GM product. The Tacoma is reliable despite the bait-click on liners and just look at the re-sale value on a Tacoma, #1 again among all vehicles last I checked. It is selling very well which will keep the re-sale values high as it is a in demand small truck right now. And...

Always go with front cross-member only (diff if you can get to it), frame only or rear axle. Anything else is asking for trouble. And get wood blocks cut out for not only wheels on jack but to reach frame. Pics are from my old 2010 SR5 BOTT, first phase with old Deavers leaf pack.

Today's Tacoma, not much. I would say carrying a proper spare tire is the first thing and the necessary gear to change it. I carry a 2 1/4 ton jack with wood in the cab and yes, spare lug nuts in case you lose one. I do have proper retrieval points at each corner. Other than a jumper cable...

For my 2010 SR5 BOTT or Bug Out Tactical Truck: Two Spare tires, extra lug nuts, full rear drive shaft assembly, 3/4-inch tow hooks at each corner, snatch straps galore, cum a long manual winch (backup), hi-lift jack, 3-ton jack with wood, as much fuel as you can, spare radiator hoses for all 3...

During off-road races down in Mexico: We carried at least 2 spare tires, a 3-ton jack with wood pieces and a hi-lift jack, shovel, snatch straps galore, additional lug-nuts, upper and lower radiator hoses with additional clamps, coolant mix, slave and master fluids, even power steering fluid...

Just so you know, driving on public roads is a 'privilege' and not a right. State governments have the ability and legality to track all vehicles under their licensing and registrations. If they choose so. Some states are getting the basis to track your mileage for the sake of the environment...

My solution to MPG talk by Tacoma owners

More access-cab models to get that 6-foot bed back. I would love to have a TRD-Sport with just access-cab. Heck my old X-Runner was an access-cab truck with 6-foot bed. Somewhat larger fuel tank would help likewise. I prefer range over mpg any day. I have a hybrid Camry for mpg, trucks are...
