I talked to the dealership about it and they said that is how Tacoma's are supposed to look. I then called Toyota customer service who told me to take it to the dealer. Neither claim to know anything about a TSB. Sort of stuck.

As I sat in my garage admiring my new 2013 Tacoma crew cab 4x4 today, I noticed the rear appears to sag a couple of inches compared to the front. Other trucks I have owned have had the reverse problem, and while I do have a 180lb fiberglass canopy on, I was surprised to see this. Has anyone...

Omega Seamaster. It was a gift in 2000 from my wife, runs like new!

EricTheRed, you are a VERY lucky guy to be moving to Vancouver Island. I just spent 10 days vacationing on VI, and think a person could spend a lifetime exploring the island. From what I saw, you will need your Tacoma, especially during the winter months.

Has ANYONE ever had a good purchase experience? I mailed 3 letters to the dealership yesterday, one to the finance manager who caused this uproar, one to the GM, and another to the owner. The more I think back at my experience, the more pissed off I get. When I buy groceries, a computer, or...

I wrote a 2 page letter listing all 7 irregularities, and what I would like done to correct the, I wrote to the finance manager, owner of the dealership and the general manager. I also files a complaint with our local BBB. I feel a bit stupid now, but we were talking about some pretty serious...

Without going to too much detail, I bought a 2013 Tacoma 10 days ago and have determined the finance person really misrepresented a lot of the add on packages we bought with the truck. I am writing a letter to the finance manager (Who, if history is a guide will simply ignore it), but would also...

New question. I'll admit to being a tad on the anal side when it comes to my cars so forgive me. I went into a lube and oil change place today which carries Redline oil and gear oil. After waiting for nearly an hour to get the front diff, rear diff, 6 speed tranny, and transfer case drained and...

That is sort of my thinking too. I just wanted to make sure there was not a mechanical reason not to use synthetic in the V6. I can't think of one, but with my luck i will put it in and the engine will explode. It just turned 300 miles, so I think it is ready!

I just bought a 2013 Tacoma TRD, and see the V6 is one of the few 2013 engines that still use conventional oil. I have always used synthetic oil on my vehicles, and wonder if anyone knows of a reason not to switch to synthetic on a V6? I asked a number of people at the dealer, and got a number...
