    That ECT though...

    I use it while towing, and it is a welcome feature for that use, just like the tow/haul button on the Tundra.

    ‘18 Taco, something to keep load in bed from sliding forward?

    Plywood is thicker than a bed mat, and still pretty slick.....I prefer the bed mat.

    Things I DON’T like about my Tacoma

    When the outside temperature is in the 110 range, we would all suffer. Trust me, I have worked wildland fires in 110+ temps.

    Things I DON’T like about my Tacoma

    When you use the floor event setting, with A/C, the system drops out of the "Automatic" temperature operation.....it reverts to manual.

    Things I DON’T like about my Tacoma

    After 6 months ownership of a 2018, here's what I would change/add: Put the oil filter on top,like the 4.0l, if the filter is going to be on the bottom, put anaccess door in the skid plate, like the TROD To has. Make the oil fill uprigh t, not angled forward Air A/C vents for the back seat area...

    Serpentine Belt

    I really prefer Gates belts. Have used the since the late 1960's...the V belt days. Use to hunt and fish withs some guys that engineered belts and tires for Gates. Just make sure you get an EPDM belt, they last a very long time.

    After service

    if you get the correct part number, they are supposed to be properly gapped, out of the box. I check them anyway...they have always been correct.

    Mpg

    I have been averaging 20, daily driving with my 2018 TRD Off Road. Just finished a short camping trip (about 250 miles....Phoenix to Prescott and return). Averaged 13.5 up the hill and 14.5 down pulling a 18' travel trailer...about 3500 GVW. So, 20 MPG daily driving, 14 towing, for me.

    Acceleration-manual vs auto

    the 3.5 uses the same air filter as the Tundra 5.7......the stock intake provides plenty of air.

    Hard tonneau cover recommendations

    when I looked, in Feb, I liked the flex, except it does not allow retention of the bed rail and cleats, otherwise I really liked it (had an original Undercover for ten years on my Tundra). That said I got an Xtang Encore.....I use the front opening panel all the time, and it seems a quality...

    the oil fill cap on our old Supra said "TOYODA", only place on the car that did, to my knowledge.

    Parking next to TACOs

    no, but I was parked near another truck, same color, a couple of years ago. A nice lady opened the passenger door and was about half way in before realizing the other truck was hers. Good laugh.
