I have confirmed what Yotota states on my own accord with some other vehicles in the past. To my best guess, OEM tires (and batteries as I've observed, on other vehicles) are manufactured in such a way that both manufacturers of the tires, and large consumers (auto manufacturers) benefit from...

As a FYI, that cover is used on the Highlander, and Lexus equivalent, in which the Toyota T24-FTS engine is mounted transversely, not longitudinally, as it is in our trucks. As I understand it, that cover is there to direct airflow to the back of the engine when mounted in those vehicles, my...

For sure, my Offroad didn't come with the underhood insulation. I've sense purchased some (made in China, no doubt) under hood insulation. I can say that it's helped a little, but just marginally. Also piling some miles up on the engine has helped as well. It's quited down a bit sitting at just...

Good looking headlights, but I guess I'm old now because to me 1500 beans for fancy headlights is just obscene. Enjoy, they look great on your ride.

Not to pick on FCA, or whoever owns them now, but lets call it for what it is... More Chrysler group garbage. With that said, I owned a 2019 Ram Rebel and was very happy with it for a few years. Just that their track record isn't all that great.

Noticed that as well, again, per another comments "feel good article" Although I do think the engine is good if you look at all of its benefits, features, etc. Especially like the fact that when I'm cursing around the little 4 banger isn't working real hard. But lets discuss: I'll list what I...

My thoughts mirror yours. For sure, I'm a V8 guy, and honestly a V6 wouldn't suffice for me. But I wanted a smaller truck, but here we are in the mid 2020's with 4 banger trucks. I'm just about to roll up on 24k on mine taco, and I can say without any doubt, that it's the low end torque (@low...

Most Reliable Engine of 2025

Not sure if I'm up on that 15k change interval myself. I'm sitting @ almost 25K and I'm just now planning on getting it done.

You dont strike me as a young man, with that said I can understand your pain and frustration. When I was much younger, I would easily sit in a dealer and argue with them. Think my max was about 8 hours in a dealer haggling with them. Got a good deal that day. Now I'm an old man and I no wish to...

Funny, I noticed it many many months ago. Was wondering what that was. Like a little motor wirring.

Sounds to me like you have a heavy foot. I'm averaging around 21-22 mpg over the last 20k miles.

I'd imagine that the lower end of this engine is fairly stout -- all things considered. Now are you gonna stuff crazy PSI and expect 1000hp outta this motor.. No friggen way, but mild increases, including a turbo upgrade, I'd have to guess would be just fine as long as you're not straying into...

No, not as of yet. Unfortunately I'm currently on the east coast visiting with a few clients, but I'll be back home on Friday, and will potentially install it this weekend. But I'll respond back with some initial impressions once I get it installed. I believe this'll be my third JB4 tuner (few...

I recently ordered the JB4 Tuner for the Tacoma, but didn't decide to order the intake since all of the testing of the tuner was done without the intake, unfortunately I don't have any experience with intakes on the Tacoma although I do agree the pricing is better than the competition.

I wasn't sure about that myself, I'm just over a year in ownership, with about 20k miles on mine, but haven't noticed any other "Tacoma Buddies" parking next to me other than say in the last 3 weeks, I found next to my truck after coming out of the movies on two separate occasions a 24+ Tacoma...

Almost 20K miles on mine, all stock non hybrid.

I get that a dealer wants to protect their inventory, but honestly that's a violation of your privacy. There ought to be a law on the books about that that the dealer, upon sale of a vehicle if not removed can be brought to suit. I'm not stating this is malicious on the dealers part, but you...

Thanks Terry, as an end consumer and enthusiast I have used the JB4 product in a past BMW N55 based vehicle with wonderful success. That said, I'm thankful that there's products such as JB4 and OTT that want to provide an increased level of performance out of an "everyday" truck such as our new...

Congrats and welcome. I wouldn't sweat the 4WD system issue. I'm sure the truck is fine. As for the oil change thing, well perhaps you might have come across one of my posts. I'm pretty anal about oil changes, especially early on in a motors life. Just because I'm crazy about oil changes means...
