  1. Bakflip MX4 Any Fitment Problems

    Yes I just watched a review online of a guy who had the same customer service response problems as you did. Also found that a lot of buyers get their shipment with missing pieces. I had that happen with another company on a Ram I had so I sent the cover back the next day. That company of course...
  2. Bakflip MX4 Any Fitment Problems

    I've read some posts from last year about fitment issues with the MX4 but apparently they may have been updated. Has anyone installed them lately with any problems?
  3. Toyota Dealership offering Rodent Screen

    My dealer is offering the anti-UFO coating.
  4. What did you drive before your Tacoma?

    Traded a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Excellent engine and trans, comfortable ride but the seats were torture and I really hated the two batteries under the passenger seat. I researched all the mid size and compact trucks for almost two years before discounting everything but the Ranger...
  5. Body Side Moldings - how are they installed? Photos?

    Here's the installation instructions I found online. I put a set of OEM prepainted one's on my truck. Looks good. Mine fit perfectly and no gaps. Follow the prep instructions and it comes out great. https://toyotaparts.sparkstoyota.com/install/PT29A-35240inst.pdf
  6. 24/25 Tacoma real world MPG

    I was going to get a 4x4 but since the only "off roading" I do is some dirt roads I opted for the 2WD. That 4x4 drive train must be hell on gas mileage. My usual driving is half city (AZ city not NY city) and half on a 60 mph highway. My average is 27+ mpg combined. When I fill up my DTE reads 400.
  7. Any idea what this signaling device is or does?

    This is my biggest pet peeve with dealerships. I research, regardless of brand, to find a dealership that doesn't splice in aftermarket crap. Some of these units are plug and play but many are not. I consider splicing into brand new car wiring as damage and I tell them so. I'm there to buy a new...
  8. At Toyota Dealer - evaluating which Land Cruiser to take home.

    Heritage Blue. A timeless color that won't wear off.
  9. Has anyone added weather stripping under the hood or know if there would be any concern doing so?

    Those gaps are there to allow proper ventilation of the engine compartment. Not only does blocking them retain heat but it produces a high pressure area under the hood with air blowing in but not flowing out which in turn will cause undue wear on the cooling fans trying to draw air into that...
  10. AC Fan cycling excessively?

    2025 SR5 manual A/C. This drives me crazy. Does it both cold and hot engine. A/C and cooling fans cycle on for several seconds then off for several seconds constantly. Has to be excessive wear on compressor and cooling fan motors to be doing this. OP did you ever ask the dealer. I live an hour...
  11. New Hollow Engine Sound

    When I bought this truck I noticed that the engine was much quieter than the other SR5 and the Sport I test drove before buying this one. So yesterday I popped the hood to see if the A/C short cycles when the engine is cold like it does when hot and suddenly at idle there was a sound I've never...
  12. MT Compares 2024 Ranger vs 2024 Tacoma - Which Is Better?

    The problem with MT or C&D or any "professional" reviewer is that they have their own personal likes and dislikes and they test a particular trim when the things they judge a vehicle on could be drastically different from trim to trim. I drove both the Ranger and Tacoma before buying. They say...
  13. Real-Life MPG Thread - Share Your 2024+ Tacoma 4th Gen's Gas Mileage! â›˝

    I'm happy with my mileage. SR5 2WD, stupid air dam removed and running premium gas. Rated at 21/26. I'm getting 26+ combined with A/C on and before I was using A/C I was getting 28+ combined. Mileage did improve with premium gas and the truck felt and sounded much better when flooring it to pass...

    Stickers received and installed. Thanks! Mike B.
  15. PSA to check the technicians work after the grille shutter replacement.

    Exactly. What I described is not the exception but the rule. It is a very transient business. Techs, salesman, management cycle around from dealership to dealership and independent shops frequently. The guy who screwed up your Toyota today may well be screwing up Chevys tomorrow (not that Chevys...
  16. PSA to check the technicians work after the grille shutter replacement.

    Which is exactly why I left as soon as I could.
  17. PSA to check the technicians work after the grille shutter replacement.

    The problem is the pay system. They get paid predetermined hours depending on each individual task. They like big jobs because if it pays 50 hours and they can cut corners or if they are one of the few good ones and can get it done in 30 hours, they still get paid the 50 hours. That's the...
  18. PSA to check the technicians work after the grille shutter replacement.

    After having worked at a dealership for five years, trust me. If anything, management will care even less then the so called "tech". They know there's plenty of fish in the sea so if you tell them you'll never do business there again, they'll just yawn and all they care about is how much money...
