Just saw your post. What a nasty hit! Glad you made it out of that ok. What dash cam do you have? I’m literally going to buy one this week, and install it into my new truck before I even pull out of the lot next weekend. Might get one for the rear too.

Seriously! People get way too comfortable driving. There’s road rage AND distracted drivers, both threatening our lives every time we hit the road. There should be a requirement that every vehicle be equipped with cameras facing the driver. So in a collision, you can see if they were texting...

So mine never had the popout speaker. I think that’s a premium package add-on, which mine was not. Didn’t think about the tie-downs. Should’ve grabbed those. Honestly though, that tow yard operator was staring down my shoulder the entire time, and wouldn’t let me take even a fleck of paint off...

Thank you everyone for all the kind words! This situation really taught me the value of people. All people. Not just family and friends. Because I’ve received a tremendous amount of support from complete strangers through this experience. As soon as it happened, I could immediately hear voices...

Dang! And I thought 7000 miles was young. You must’ve been in such disbelief when that happened. But hey, someone could hit you on the way out of the lot too. It’s a crazy world out there!

I don’t know the exact speed he was going. But I was actually stopped at the moment of impact. There were other cars in that driveway I was pulling into, and one of them started backing up for unknown reasons. So I had to stop mid-turn. About a half second later, I experienced the impact. All...

The other truck was two people. I kept asking the EMTs if they were ok, and they kept telling me they were going to be fine. That’s all I know for now.

Yeah. This was actually right outside my apartment. I was turning into our parking lot, and the other person ran the red light. You know the area here?

Thank you! Really heartbroken about my truck, though. But that can be replaced.

So this happened tonight! My 7000-miles old Tacoma TRD Offroad suffered a head-on collision with a Dodge Ram that resulted in my beloved Tacoma landing on its side. The Dodge was going quite fast when it occurred. I felt the need to share this on here because I was able to climb out and walk...

Yup. My old Ranger was the first and last 2wd pickup I’ll ever own. In any limited traction situation, a sedan would out perform that truck. Those rear tires would do nothing more than slide around and dig holes unless I had a significant amount of weight in the bed.

Haha…. Are you just following me around trying to sell me stuff, Josh? So I’ve seen the Retrax covers, and I like the logic behind the design. But how much bed space am I sacrificing to the end where it rolls up? Because I’ve already got the short bed. Also, I feel like there’s a potential of it...

Yup! It really does feel solid. Just something about the way the engine sounds and feels, the way it handles turns, the fit and finish, and just how it all goes together. Even closing the doors and hearing that nice clean thump. It’s smooth and quiet on the highway. I took a bit of a road trip a...

Thanks. I hadn’t considered if the manual version would feel any different in eco mode. I’ve got the 8-speed auto on mine. Eco and normal mode feel pretty much the same on my setup. But the main thing was hoping for was some gas savings, which it doesn’t appear to help with.

Hey all, I know there are a few threads about the Diamondback Switchback tonneau covers. But in every single image I see with these covers on gen 4 Tacomas, it looks like the back sticks up quite a bit when it’s closed. Like it doesn’t fit well. Can anyone explain why they look like that? Is it...

I’m a little late to this thread. My OR is bronze oxide, and I absolutely LOVE this color! It’s really unique. Like, you think it’s just green, but then the gold flake makes it pop. The color is easily the most common compliment I get. I’ve seen people on sidewalks do a double take. It works...

Hi all, So I’m the proud owner of a TRD Offroad. When I say proud, I mean it. I wash and wax it. Which is quite unusual for me to do for any vehicle. Anyways, I’ve put just over 2,000 miles on it. So I thought I’d give a bit of a review. First of all, this truck is not a toy for me. It’s a...

It’s a good point. But I also feel like reliability is relative. Compared to how cars and trucks used to be, I think we’ve really come a long way. My old ‘86 Jeep would give me problems left and right. Leaked all over the place, would die randomly for various reasons (sometimes electrical...

I might be a minority here, but I kind of liked the old days when we didn’t have so much information so readily available to us. Don’t get me wrong, I like how easy it is to find data these days. But it sure causes a lot of extra anxiety that may or may not even be warranted. Are we really...

This looks pretty slick. How much did you end up spending?
