Man I remember those old Toyota trucks. Drove down Skyline Drive in 1981 with my parents, we kids in the back with a cap held on by c-clamps.

Cool. Just filled up after finishing first full tank from dealer. 363 miles. 15.14 gallons. Almost exactly 24 mpg. This is without cruise control since I'm still in the break-in period so constantly altering speed between 65 mph and 75 mph. Also your speedometer is reading 3 mph faster than...

In the summer months I was getting 39 mpg with my '17 Corolla. It was EPA rated at 34 mpg combined. I'll report my official first tank fuel economy when I fuel up but based on fuel low LED coming on with 3 gallons left i would expect it to be around 24 mpg which is quite a nice surprise to me...

I have gotten 360 miles so far on my first full tank from the dealer. The low fuel light just came on. I was surprised because I got a shorter range with my fuel efficient commuter car. Obviously I am in the initial break-in period so taking it easy with RPMs. But so far pretty impressive. For...

Funny, I just noticed today that my SR5 speedometer was about 3 mph faster than both Google Maps GPS and Waze. But the same thing happens on my other Toyota vehicles. Maybe it always happened and now that everyone uses GPS it is more noticeable.

This is our first keyless vehicle. When I get in my truck I am still looking to insert a key like a dummy. But we have another vehicle that still uses a key on the same ring. So I tend to just throw the fob in the cup holder. I see a little cubby hole in the dash but the fob falls out. I should...

Funny I see a similar observation about 3rd gen: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2017-tacoma-stall-clunking-sound-at-low-speed.510036/ People saying only when cold or low transmission fluid.

So are others saying their trucks never do this or that they did in the beginning but don't now? I wonder if tapping the brake in this scenario initiates a downshift. I tend to not touch the brake unless absolutely necessary.

Hmm maybe it was at lower speeds like almost coming to a stop as you approach a line of vehicles ahead of you that are just getting moving from a green light. You give it some gas and it is still in the last high gear and shudders. I can almost hear my dad yelling at me to downshift before I...

I don't have many miles on my '25, but I have noticed if I let up on the accelerator to slow down around 30mph, especially when going uphill, it does not seem to "downshift" so if I engage the accelerator again to speed up again it feels it is in too high a gear and will shudder almost like it...

Lol. I can barely plow forward trying to avoid taking out the fence along the lane. I should order the Curt front receiver and keep it stored until the Tundra finally dies. My 2025 Tacoma is actually bigger and more powerful than my 2001 Tundra even though the Tundra has a 4.7L V8. The...

Definitely good points. Because I came in with a "no-dicker" price from a competing dealer I was hoping that this was already a fair offer that would avoid multiple trips to the sales manager's office. Who knows maybe some dealers would have gone even lower. But I wasn't expecting a full-blown...

Well my salesman fought tooth and nail over my lowly SR5. Must have been an ego thing.

You're paying sticker? I saw for the first few years after Covid new vehicles were going for MSRP and sometimes over. I'm glad I wasn't buying then. I just wonder if those days have made some car salesmen greedy now that it is back to somewhat normal.

Interesting. Wonder what my truck would have cost. $43,300 MSRP. Got it for $40,750 before tax and doc fee.

I would have felt better about it if it was only the back and forth haggling. Not coming down to my offer. Sure, part of the game. It really was when they tried to take away the $500 financing rebate and added it to the negotiated price that it became sleazy. I was paying attention how many...

That link says doesn't fit the Tacoma SR5. But there were others that do? Why did they move away from gas panels released from inside the vehicle?

Wow that is insane. Yeah I'm not young anymore. One day I'm racing BMX bikes with my buddies and the next I have 3 grown kids a mortgage and graying hair. :) Back in '95 I became interested in an Isuzu Rodeo (remember them?). I went to the dealer, took it for a ride, but they were not willing...

That's the strange thing. You read the reviews and some people think they have had a great experience at this place with the same sales guy. I just wonder if they even realize they have been bent over. I guess that is the characteristic of a successful salesman. Give them a smile and they won't...
