  1. Best tonneau cover?

    Best? That is to me a broad, or maybe inappropriate ask for how they can differ. I will again point out the Fas-Top that may or may not be ideal for owners. I remain extremely happy. Having all in one tonneau and soft topper has been great for me. They have a compatible bed rack too. Wow it...
  2. One thing I miss from my 2024 Ranger

    I was aware of the feature for how many different vehicles we tried. The new Ranger had elements and characteristics I thought were good, but a few red flags were flown instantly. Short bed, US and Ford SFQ added to their horrible (Stellantis too) position for recalls. I hope your new purchase...
  3. Coverdream seat covers review and tips

    I looked at the link and don't see how they are SRS compatible. I'm sorry if I missed that. My experience has been some don't know SRS compatible seat covers can be really important. When I was shopping all the air bag compatible seat covers lacked the more integrated look, but now about 18...
  4. Your favorite OEM upgrades ?

    I was careful and deliberate with my shopping for this answer to be none. A lot of what many do makes no sense to me but there's some understanding. People do stuff for that being entertainment and for image.
  5. Tacomas and Mountain Bikes

    Single tray mode is another nice 1Up advantage. I know others are good too, but a chuckle to me is a bike shop owning friend. Direct sales mean he doesn't sell 1Up. He sells Saris and Kuat. On his personal time they still have a 1Up in the family and use it most. I can't answer re Saris after...
  6. Tacomas and Mountain Bikes

    That should be edited to be you just can't beat a 1Up. Friends only let friends get them. Mine is having its 14th winter exposed to road salt. There are parts when you need them. Unparalleled versatility. Most racks are made of steel and plastic and do not have every single part replaceable...
  7. Tacomas and Mountain Bikes

    I am a trail steward In addition to rider. My Tacoma is a good tool for my trail building and assisting other area trail stewards. I hope all of you riders contribute to your area trails. We always need help whether that's your labor, donating money, or both. It is pretty much that way all...
  8. "The" Stereo / Audio Sound Post: Don't Skip this one!

    Where's the data to support there's a notable difference with the premium tier JBL flex in the Tacomas? In our long-running pre-sales testing and deciding on models and packages they seemed the same. One detail and nerdy type sales person at a dealer said all the Tacomas have an 800 watt version...
  9. OEM "AT" to aftermarket AT road noise expectations

    There are more general purpose and road friendly AT like the Trail Terrain TA that were or still might be OEM for the TRD OR models where aftermarket are also 3PMSF rated. I've been very happy with that tire family, and I'm off road a lot as a trail builder and ski area crew. They're very civil...
  10. How to break in a new Tacoma? Other tips welcomed :)

    1. Follow the directions in your owner's manual. 2. The top tier fuel spec and not octane is the important matter for the fuel you choose. During the break in period you should not be accelerating hard or pulling loads that are the circumstances where the delayed combustion from higher octane is...
  11. Oil change, is it even worth going to the dealer for the “free oil changes to 25k miles”?

    The dealers in my region who also earn the "president's" award or status always seem to do a plenty fine if not great job. For other comments I have to wonder who is considering basic stats concepts. It's a top ranking by unit sales vehicle. If it or the dealer problems are bad as some think...
  12. List of Covers and Racks that are compatible together?

    I went with Fas-Top who makes a compatible bed mounted rack, but traditional cross bars on roof. The points to know regarding Fas-Top are 1) the tonneau and topper all in one and 2) compatible rack with much adjustability. The pic here illustrates the fit when tonneau is rolled and topper is up...
  13. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    The Tire Rack crowd sourced reviews for popular tires often reflect thousands of owners millions of miles. For some tires 20+ million miles. That's valuable information but I also understand not everyone has had to take or pass a stats class. Just looking, I see popular tires all with 10+ to...
  14. Help Us Choose the Next-Gen All-Weather Floor Mat Pattern for Tacoma!

    I'm one of your customers and will offer this. Pay more attention to your manufacturing and shipping so the edges/ends don't curl as much. For design think of easy cleaning more than what the patterns are. No one should misread this as negative or unhappy though. I am totally satisfied with the...
  15. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    I noticed those showing in TireRack survey reports along with the Bridgestone after the BFG Trail Terrain TA was dominant for the category some months ago. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ONAT That was interesting to me because at my age Cooper tires were...
  16. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    It's their crowd-sourced reviews where I find most value. For example, when a few thousand people all say a tire is good in one of the measures or categories. There's also wisdom with getting a tire with lots of dealers and post-sale support.
  17. Tested: Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice

    Yes. There are many good contenders, the A/T class alone has its extremes and types. With a lot of experience with 3PMSF including dedicated and the year-round types, there are important things to consider. Even being a powder chaser, I still have to do no shortage of pavement driving and...
  18. Fuel gauge (gas gauge) malfunction.

    I'm sure none of us did, but from perspective of age and some fleet experience, my only fuel related complaint can be the small gas tank size. No issue or hiccup with my 2024 has been like most vehicles or the horrible ones we all used to have. It's a high volume vehicle so I know that means...
  19. Snow chains/cables recommendations?

    Sagacity is required for all driving. 3PMSF rated tires and chains still do what good driving cannot so you're right and wrong with that outlook. Two good reminders for me are we have a pair of same Outback one with 3PMSF and one with top rated all-season tires, and ski area crew plus mountain...
  20. How Do You Protect Your Truck Bed from Scratches?

    Large sheets of cardboard when needed. The rubber types and some mats are heavy. Some of the plastic types are too slippery. Beyond cheap and light, it can be nice for how it will also slide something and fold. If you're looking for market ideas, I'm probably not like many regulars here but...
