If you own a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, you’ll want to hear this.
Toyota has officially announced a driveshaft recall for select 4th-Gen models — but that’s not the whole story. We have lots of complaints!


In my latest video, I break down:
🎥 Watch here:

✅ Which trims are affected
✅ Common symptoms owners are seeing (vibration under throttle, rear-end clunks, binding feel at takeoff)
✅ Current complaints that doesn't make the recall list
✅ Toyota’s official recall notice and service fix

I also pulled together a full breakdown with owner complaint data.

We’re tracking reports of:


  • Driveshaft vibration at highway speeds
  • Clunking during acceleration or deceleration
  • Whining or humming noise under load
  • Binding or hesitation in 4WD engagement

If you’re experiencing any of these, definitely have your service advisor document it — even if your VIN isn’t flagged yet.

Stay safe and keep those drivetrains smooth.

I grilled an awesome steak this evening. I used my Hasty Bake with lump charcoal. So delicious!

I must have got a bad one, because mine has been great so far. No issues. A little over 17K miles, and so far it's been an awesome truck.

This “Tuber” is so good, he’s standing in front of the wrong model year Tacoma. Loser. I’m sure he’s got lots of “complaints” regarding the 16 to 23 model. Slow, underpowered, dated, awful transmission. But I think the driveshaft is ok.
