I recognize this guy has unfortunate problems as well as I recognize a lot of people are poor at stats and data. Most of the about 1/2 million Tacomas don't have problems. If someone wants to be concerned about a maker with problems take a moment to realize Toyota makes about 2.3x more vehicles...
Regarding canoes, now that I have the 70 inch crossbars I'd not want anything less so know Yakima is developing landing pads so one can have quick release racks. You can get old school style towers now.
Towing our son's boat about that weight has shown my stock TRD OR but with the tow package as better than expected. I would not modify the suspension to have other compromises if your tongue weight is not too much. I would also hesitate to lift it if I tow much, and especially from how much off...
Sorry, but no and best wishes.
If it helps to know for any product development, I'm the sort who is way more a function than fancy type. It is hard for me to consider the need knowing I'm off road a lot, and my pickup is work oriented for use.
I've been surprisingly happy with the OEM versions on a TRD OR I have and will consider the 3PMSF replacement versions. They're better than I expected for being off road a lot, nicely quiet on road, predictable and exceeded my expectations for snow and rain.
The loaner 2025 4Runner TRD OR I...
I spent a lot of time and effort on carry and rigging aspects in pre-sales mode for my 2024 and a year after waiting for Yakima to release "landing pads" for the gen 4 roof. I could not wait any longer so got traditional towers with 70 inch bars where I could still use the bars when the quick...
I would have all the labor in mind and any impact on warranty a 2025 obviously has for a while yet. The hit to trade might be brutal, but I found just getting TRD OR in the first place the right move. You'll get the better seats, locker axle, and more.
If wrenching is a hobby this could make...
IMO this is a status quo many will have to live with. What I mean comes from the status of state laws for selling vehicles direct, and some of the manufactures not yet onboard.
For those with curiosity, follow the VAG (VW, Audi, Navistar & Scout Motors etc) stuff. The dealers are revolting...
If not this thread, in others I've brought up and explained the EPA test uses certification classes that are in essence the powertrains and not the niche or halo models. Also, how the EPA test needs to be understood as a standard or something to make a baseline comparison.
Just the sales...
Overall excellent but I know how you have to play it. None of the dealers got to start with a finance game. I asked for their cash price for same thing and packages. I asked for the possible trade value against that bottom line price.
The excellent for service "president's award" dealer near...
What is your idea here? A class action lawsuit against Toyota or the US EPA? The idea leaves me in wondering when they are two different entities, and the EPA test publishes how it's done, as well their certification test groups. For the halo models I'm sure it is less likely to match because...
From a long ago experience I learned to seek a Toyota dealer with "president's award" and know stuff like that can happen. Long ago now 3rd gen 4Runner had the hub-centric wheels before dealers had the right equipment so I just negotiated they have the work done where someone does.
I can't say why they addressed it this time. The dude was asking all manner of questions about anything possibly not right while they had it for a day to do the recalls. I said it is annoying and visible in winter road dirt but kind of no biggie too. He said he would not like it. I see .8 hours...
FYI or FWIW. The dealer where I got mine and body shop where we go for service both said that can't be fixed. The dealer we go to for service has new ownership even though the old owners achieved the "president's award".
Yesterday getting the brake line recall and ADAS reprogramming they...
What a bummer. That doesn't look like brake fluid on your fingers.
Mistakes can happen anywhere, but in my market area we've taken our Toyotas to the dealer that gets the "president's award" even though they're never a bargain for sales or service. They did more than I expected for this recall...
I did not intend or consider outliers such as a limited edition version knowing your points. Looking through past threads I still see a lot of people with the big sellers _and_ driving comparable to the EPA test are close.
I wanted to make sure and just refreshed my memory. The special or...
First is wondering if you are truly at break in 3000-5000 miles. There are lots of threads and posts here and another Tacoma forum where some details might be insightful, but in general people are in or can beat the EPA ratings with reasonable driving, and high speed kills the efficiency just...
It applies to my VIN but has no remedy status. Today I finally got my call that parts are available for the brakes repair.
This stuff is an annoyance but this vehicle is well ahead of others we've and and what associates who've made other choices have had to deal with.
My thoughts? I few chuckles and not for me. I don't buy that most or many who do all sorts of mods to expensive late model vehicles or buy the halo models actually have regular use scenarios or at all. Most I know serious about their off roading trailer specialty and can afford to get damaged...
