    Dealer rustproofing frames

    I had my 2015 in for this last week - responded to a recall notice from Toyota. I was kind of surprised to see some light rust spots on the frame left just as they are, but uncleEddie's explanation seems right on. I know, I sound like a ditz, but I had a lot going on this past week and didn't...

    What have you done to your Tacoma today?

    Np pics yet, but this week I ordered a Tonneau cover (Truxedo Lo Pro Q), pop lock, BFG K02s and new wheels. I went a bit nuts!

    How were you able to buy a Tacoma

    First my dear wife gave me full permission to buy a brand new one, but I just couldn't do it. I rarely drive and the truck is mainly to haul stuff to work on our old house. I looked at online ads and dealer inventory for YEARS. I could not believe the price + mileage I was seeing, the frame...

    Specific tire advice please

    I hope so. I called Tirerack and this time had a rep who seemed honest and informative. His two top picks were the K02 and Michelin Defender LTX. The former being bada$$ the latter dependable and well made, but a little on the soccer mom side of tires in aesthetics. Did I make a mistake? I guess...

    Specific tire advice please

    My exact tire is not recalled, but it is a huge recall and the tires are garbage. I just ordered BFG T/A KO2s! I went crazy. Wheels too.

Tires 245/75-16 Certified used and dealer put on incredibly cheap Primewell Valera HT These tires are actually not bad in snow (10-12" blizzard and I was whipping around the neighborhood in 4WD...

    2015 I4 4WD terrible mileage

    MODS I thought I lost the other post - sorry, please delete - I have two almost identical posts here. I love my new truck, a 2015 certified used at about 28k, but was concerned the milage was lousy. I recorded the odometer at the last fill up and with this fill up I calculate 9.2 mpg!?!?!? All...

    10 mpg city on 2015 I4 certified used at 28k

    I love my new truck, but am a bit dismayed at the gas milage. I thought it was a bit gas hungry, so this time I recorded milage at last fill up and just filled her up again. I did all city driving and am getting 9.47 mpg?!? I have been driving like an old lady for the most part I swear. It is...

    Certified used Tacoma and maintenance - too picky?

    Thanks everyone, it's good to know I'm not alone in my distrust. Yes, it has a pretty long warranty 7/100 plus bumper to bumper for 12 months.

    Little vibration when stopped in drive

    My new (for me) 2015 Tacoma SR5 4x4 I4 has one little annoying thing and it is not worth going back to the dealer (I think). When I stop at a light there is a sound/vibration that stops as soon as I let off the brake or put it in neutral. Sounds like a jack hammer, but way off in distance...

    Certified used Tacoma and maintenance - too picky?

    This is probably a really dumb question, but please chalk it up to a general distrust of dealers and their warranties. I bought a certified Tacoma with 28,500 miles about a month ago. Part of the deal is getting regular service to keep all the warranties. I got an email from the dealer that I...

    Stupid Newbie Question please - turning on dry pavement in 4WD

    Thanks again for helping me check my ignorance and worry here. The best part is I am back to loving the heck out of my truck.

    Stupid Newbie Question please - turning on dry pavement in 4WD

    Thanks everyone. I feel like an idiot asking this, and I was pretty certain this was it, but I have a natural distrust of dealers and I wanted to be 100% sure before my cooling off period is over! I will read the manual and more, just didn't have time today.

    Stupid Newbie Question please - turning on dry pavement in 4WD

    Hey, I just posted an intro about my new (to me) 2015 SR5. Can I ask what is probably a stupid question. When in 4WD is it normal for vibration/shaking in the wheel when turning on a dry surface? Dealer says it is. Sorry, I am 98% sure I understand this, but want t be sure. I am used to AWD...

    Finally have a Tacoma

    Just the one I posted. I'll take more later. I think the new ones are fantastic, but I decided to go used when I found one with low miles and a price I liked. I know the internet is a dangerous thing, but various complaints about the new transmission, software or whatever, did nudge me toward a...

    Finally have a Tacoma

    New Track by righty posted Mar 9, 2018 at 12:53 PMI have been dreaming about buying a Tacoma for years. I have an old house that constantly needs work, I have a woodshop, and I could use a few more fake friends who only call when they need me to come by with a truck! Today I picked up a white...
