Looks like there is a “water control valve” that electronically controls the coolant? I looked through the entire cooling system and see no thermostat. The trans has 2 lines running into the radiator and that’s it. I don’t even think there is a transmission cooler?

I’m trying to check my transmission fluid level and the service manual says to pin the thermostat. My 3rd gen had a transmission thermostat that was very obvious. I’ve looked all over this transmission and engine and I can’t find a thermostat anywhere. What am I missing?

I have a 2025 4Runner and was experiencing the same thing. I ended up greasing all the driveshaft zerks and have not noticed it since.

lol that’s such bullshit. My original dealer told me the same BS yet refused to take me along for a ride in the other Tacoma they supposedly compared it to. I ended up having to go to a different dealer who took me serious and fixed the issue.

I have 17s 316s with +25 offset.

I feel like I have a lot of play in my steering wheel. Dealer says it’s normal. Do you guys have the same amount of play?

I test drove another TRD sport and a SR5 and they all felt basically the same. I think it’s just a resonance/harmonics thing from the drivetrain and the frame. Toyota could probably address it with different engine/transmission tuning.

Is this what you're talking about? 2”-2.5” Slotted Hitch Bar Lock - 1UP USA . I don't have that, I just have the special 8mm bolt that actuates the ball which secures the rack in the hitch. My rack is almost 10 years old so I'm not sure what exactly they look like today.

yup like the guy above said, the 1up doesn't use a hitch pin.

the answers to all your questions are in your glove box.

just get your tires balanced again.

I do probably a 70/30 highway/city mix of driving. I rarely go above 70mph and I’m on 265 tires. On my work commute it’s not uncommon for me to get 25+ mpgs and that trip is like 90% highway at 70mph.

i’ve averaged 21.8 over the past 19k miles. It's about the same MPG I got in my 2nd and 3rd gens. Tacomas are just shit on gas mileage.

I don’t know guys, I went back to discount tire today and had them road force balance the wheels and check the rims. Everything is good. I put a dial indicator on the rear hubs and they’re straight too. Not sure what’s going on. I do know the vibration is worst when I’m just lightly on the...

yup I wish I still had my factory wheels to try.

I'm on my second set of tires because of this problem. Would be pretty crazy if I had out of round tires in 2 different sets. I'm starting to think maybe it's one of my rims? I'm going to start swapping wheels with my spare and see what happens.

I thought this as well but that's not the case.

Yes I do, I've had them road force balance the wheels.

I definitely notice more vibration without rings. I am going to get some different lug nuts and try those.
