    Ride from hell

    I have not had my Taco on a real road trip yet. I am looking to make a run for Southern California to Chicago and back. I think/hope I have become numb to the constant gear seek of my transmission. Either way....... Satellite radio and cruise control should make the trip a breeze.

    What pocket knife do you carry?

    This one is my favorite. I have bigger, more expensive, meaner looking knives but this one is just all around the best I have used.

    Let see your co-pilots

    My co pilot has the same road etiquette but I wouldn’t trade her seat for anything.

    Who often do you wash your taco?

    I wash my 2016 Tacoma when I can no longer see the gaps between the body panels. Most of the time I can find a deep puddle or a river to drive through. That counts as a wash...... doesn’t it?

    K&N air filters

    I used K&N in a few vehicles. I had a fuel system issue on my 00 Taco that the dealer just could not get resolved. They reached out to Toyota engineers for help. The engineers had select parts sent off to California for analysis. The engineer spotted the problem in a part that wasn’t even on his...

    The clunk is back!

    I wanted the TRD off-road in the access cab. They didn’t offer it in a manual trans. Canada has it as an option but would not sell me one in the states. I offered to pay sticker plus but they said it was a call from Toyota not to sell Canadian trucks to customers in the United States. At least...

    The clunk is back!

    Perfect. I agree that Toyota should be responsible for future issues due to lack of Q.C. At the factory. Thanks for all the info. I wish I knew about this forum before I bought my truck.

    The clunk is back!

    I didn’t know we could get an extended coverage for the low trans fluid issue. Thanks for the heads up. Do I contact corporate through their web site?

    The clunk is back!

    I had my 2016 Taco in the dealer because I would get a clunk as I would stop at stop lights/signs. The dealer kept my truck for two days. In those two days they topped off my trans that was over two quarts low and ran a software update. For almost 8 months my truck ran great (except for the...

    GoPro

    I have a GoPro hero4 Black. Great quality no issues. I use it for trail runs or when we have fires here in Southern California and I want to send video back home to family in the Midwest. The mount in my Taco is great. I used suction cup mounts in the past but now I don’t have to clean the ring...

    Things that make you say WTF...

    Not just that. The less expensive winter blend fuel was just released and the price still went up $.15 plus the $.12 fuel tax. I’m thinking that big oil took a turn while the state had us all bent over at the pump. I guess rape is not illegal if the victim is already bent over.

    2017 Off-road 4x4 engine bay humming / electrical noise

    Let the dealer fix it. No reason to have your new truck humming at you after you shut it off. You spent way too much on your truck to let crap like this go.

    What do you do for Work?

    I am an engineering services technician at Disneyland. It is an interesting career that pays pretty good. It won’t make me rich but it will make the Tacoma payments

    Frame corrosion?

    I had a 2000 Tacoma that Toyota purchased back from me. I bought and drove that truck in Chicago for a few years and then moved to Southern California with it. After years of driving it in the desert that is Southern California my frame had still rotted to the point that Toyota wanted it off the...
