After 33,000 miles, this truck has been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve owned. It’s been running a @CAMTuning stage 1/e30 tune along with a Mishimoto intake and SXTH Element intercooler, and it gets driven hard on a regular basis. From daily commuting to full-throttle pulls, the truck has never given me any major reliability issues. The tune has been incredibly smooth, powerful, and refined—it honestly feels like how the truck should have come from the factory, just with a lot more performance. Power delivery is consistent, drivability is excellent, and everything works together seamlessly.
One thing that really stood out throughout the process was Cam himself. He’s been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions or provide support. It’s clear he puts a lot of time into developing his calibrations and making sure customers have a reliable, enjoyable experience.

I know 33,000 miles isn’t 100,000 miles, and this is still a relatively new truck, but so far it’s been an absolute tank. I stay on top of maintenance, use quality fuel, and change the oil regularly, which is just as important as the modifications themselves.
If you’re considering tuning your Tacoma but are hesitant because of reliability concerns, my experience with Cam Tuning has been nothing but positive. A quality calibration from someone who knows these trucks, paired with quality parts and proper maintenance, can completely transform the driving experience without giving up day-to-day dependability. Every truck is different, but after 33,000 miles of driving this one hard, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again.

That should be the typical result for anyone looking to do the same. Or really any car with factory forced induction. Oems have to meet emissions and fuel economy regulations and while trying squeeze enough power to meet customer expectations. Its a bottle neck overall.

VALVOLINE PREMIUM FULL SYNTHETIC. 5W30. weight is all up to you. i change my oil every 5-6k.
So you don't use the 0w20? I just hit 25k and the dealer done the first ones free so it has been running 0w20. Will it still be ok to change? What are the +/- of using the heavier oil? Thx

Off topic, but the pic of your truck in front of the FedEx trailer.............it's reflecting the blue sky. That color accent on your truck would look awesome! Striping or such.

Oh boy, I'm Sorry to have bothered such a professional truck owner as your self. You can go back to pretending you know everything now. Smart a**!
Not trying to be an ass, just meant that this will turn into an oil debate thread. There are plenty of those here.

My bad for helping you out on the other thread.

That's how we learn. Debate. But I'm sure you're the one that knows best, so what ever... You have not helped me out in any way that I know of.

You sure are wanting to debate.

How about you debate using the search bar if you want to learn about oil. Go read one of the 5+ threads that are 20+ pages long debating what oil to use, which is better, the lack of or supporting of evidence.

Then maybe you can come back here and apologize.

Oh wow! Never thought about that, Einstein! Never mind me coming to a forum for the answers! I'll just do it the hard way, then not apologize.
