    2018 vs 2019 short bed design differences?

    Mine was put on by Southeast toyota dealers what ever they call themselves. The cover, led fog lights, and side steps were part of the dealer package. Mine is held on by brackets that fit into the track hold down rails and tighten up. It also has 2 extra security lanyards, thats what I call...

    2018 vs 2019 short bed design differences?

    My 19 has the internal rail system. When I bought it the dealer had already installed the hard tri fold and ive never looked to see how it was actually held on.

    Family + 2 Dogs

    Maybe a bed cap with a pass thru for the sliding rear glass would work better. Better protection from the elements for the dogs plus a little heat in the winter and they could stick their heads thru the wibdow to get a pet.

    Best time to buy a 2020?

    From what seems to be a lot of interest around the 2020's I dout there will be many "deals" on them. If you want a "deal" youd probably do better on a leftover 19.

    Loud tapping noise 2019 Trd 3.5

    You aren't the first one with a noisy engine, its been reported several times. Others have taken theirs back to the dealer and was told thats normal. Personally mine has always been quiet. If it bothers you you can report it to the dealer to be on the safe side. I have always ran either 93 or...

    What have you done to your Tacoma today?

    I haven't had a windshield replaced in about 20 years but the last one I had replaced by a local company that came right to my job was less than $200 cash. The insurance company was all to willing to let me pay my $500 deductible and theyd take care of it. All it took to take care of it was 1...

    RPM unstable, truck lurches. 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport Auto

    Mine does the same thing, ive just not noticed it to the extreme that youre stating. Ive figured out that any, any extra load put on engine will cause idle to increase. A/C kicks on, idle increases, kicks off, idle decreases. Turn the steering wheel, idle increases. Turn off all engine driven...

    tonnneau cover

    Good lookin truck, welcome to the forum. As far as a cover goes it depends on what you want to accomplish. If you just want to keep things out of sight and keep the grocerys from blowing out then a soft roll up would do. If youre looking for security then a hard cover is in order. I've had roll...

    Oil change question

    They advertise 10k mile oil changes however the service light comes on ever 5k miles. According to the maintenance schedule at 5k miles youre supposed to go to dealer for tire rotation and inspection, 10k miles is oil change, tire rotation, and inspection. Personally I change my oil every 6...

    Warranty service on 2019 Tacoma

    Do you have bigger tires and wheels installed? Lift? If its still 100% stock there shouldn't be a warranty issue. Just having it off road shouldnt be an issue if thats their only claim, it says Off Road right on the side. I guess you could sue them for false advertising.

    Cold Air Intakes are they worth it

    Yeah, I get it. Its one thing to say I did this, cost this much, show a couple of picks, and let it go at that, not keep going on and on and on.

    Cold Air Intakes are they worth it

    This is just me personally but I like seeing what other people have done as far as mods. Not that I would do that to mine or even like some of them but still interested in them. I have my own opinions as to what I like as other people do also, sometimes money is the deciding factor as to what...

    Gas mileage

    I don't know about the Wednesday build but that was the most finicky and agrivateing vehicle ive ever owned. Finally got it figured out and running right, then started getting nervous about what was coming in the future.

    Less than poor fuel mileage

    Yeah, thats something id like to know too. To me that chin spoiler looks kinda idiotic, but if in fact in does serve a real purpose I don't want to remove it.

    2019 Engine Knock Noise Please Help

    You're missing the point, I just stated that LSPI is a condition that does exist, not necessarily the problem that OP is having. Apparently it's more common than just the OP. My point is and was if youre engine is noisy and you're using oil A, try oil B and see if it changes, if youre running 87...

    2019 Engine Knock Noise Please Help

    Idle, low speed, I don't care about how much load. The manufactures, not only toyota, know this is an issue. Oil companys are changeing their formulas trying to prevent this with different additives or the mixture of existing additives. It seems like high calcium and low moly are a contributing...

    2019 Engine Knock Noise Please Help

    Something to investigate is LSPI. This has become more prominent in turbo engines but also in DI. My personal experience is I use amsoil signature series oil and either 89 or 93 octane top tier gas. I have never experienced any excess noises from my engine. I'm not saying this is the answer or...
