Full honesty, the driver handle is great!! I use it every single time I exit the truck; I’m just an average size guy but it makes egress much easier and prevents wear on the seat from sliding across it and out. It’s not awkward to use at all, and tbh the visual appeal inside the cabin having...
Is the cowl and wipers pretty easy to remove? I did this on my Tundra, as a preventable measure. My newer steel-body Super Duty has a screen over the hvac intake, but not all model years did…same thing with my GMC. I’ll definitely be taking this apart on the Taco and screening it!! After...
No, not even close. The 4th gen Taco is much smaller in every dimension than a 2nd gen Tundra, including ride height. What bothers me most on the Taco is that lower ride height, cramped back seat, and it just doesn’t feel like driving a truck. But the again…it is a midsize…and I’m accustomed...
The Tacoma replaced this, my trusty steed…2008 Tundra Limited 5.7, every factory option. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned, and I miss it everyday ! 🥹
I intended to replace it with another Tundra, but the 3rd gen’s are just not worth the risk.
Is it easily accessible crawling under the front of the truck? I'm probably going to try a piece of gorilla tape over it first, should cut the sound at least by half. Works well for backup beepers on equipment
@GER_95 What I've shown are CAD prices (I see you're in ON). Yeah, dealers typically list prices for gently used above brand new MSRP. They've been doing that for about 4 years now, and get away with it by keep new stock inventory mostly non-existent...(you want new? Order now and wait 6...
Literally, embarrassingly, this was me! The oil dilution was so f'ing bad, I had to keep vacuuming out a couple quarts and topping off to the correct level. So not a full oil change, but I had to closely monitor it as the level would go way way over the full mark in a short amount of...
@Tacohunter2024 thanks for sharing your story. I don’t think the trade in values (residual) on the 4th gens are as strong, percentage-wise, as the 3rd gens. The msrp has increased so much for the same category of vehicle, combined with some public resistance to the 4 cyl powertrain…only time...
This is a screenshot of my live engine data, driving highway speeds in -13f (-25c) temps, taken 1 hour into trip, burning regular 87 (10% ethanol). Engine oil temperature is simply too low (185f). My dad was driving his 5.7 hemi ram in same conditions, his engine oil temperature was 210-212f...
Well that’s unfortunate…hopefully they can figure it out, and treat you well. I’ve only bought a couple parts there before, and they did two service campaigns on my old Tundra (CRC frame coating, and the AIPs). They were good those times, and didn’t screw anything up. But when I went there to...
You did a great job! I did the exact same thing but struggled with the contour of the panel…had to make relief cuts. Still better than it being exposed
I would say the tire are basically flush with the fender flares. Having said that tho…the SR5 has different flares, more slim. So if you’re keeping those stock flares, you’ll need to consider the poke amount. Also, check on RokBlokz website as I’m not sure if the high clearance flaps are...
I have +35, 285/70/17 AT4 SL’s. With RokBlokz XL’s and TRD cast running boards …you’ll still have gravel flying everywhere. Put extra ppf on your rear fenders before you install your new wheels and tires
