Welcome to r/ToyotaTacoma

Hello all,

After months of research, I’ve finally found a 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro with less than 40K miles! This will be the first vehicle I’ve purchased on my own and my first Tacoma. Before sealing the deal, I want to make sure I’m not overlooking any potential issues—whether cosmetic, mechanical, or otherwise. Are there any specific things I should check for that might not be immediately obvious? One item I have been told by a friend is the fox shocks need to be looked at for potential leaks or excessive wear (Not sure if anyone can add onto that or not). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Trying to find inspiration cool retro paint job for my gen 3 what you guys got for me?

Hey I’m about to change my plugs in my 2013 Tacoma V6 Off road, it’s got 66k on it and this will be the first time. I also need to do the front and rear differential. I am trying to find out what plugs are in it now and which ones to use as well as what fluids are suggested for those?

What’s up guys, just bought a 2024 Tacoma SR this past week. Looking at aftermarket stuff, looking to get some type of lights on the front grill like I’ve seen the raptor lights on the 3rd gen models. Do they make them for 4th gens yet? And do I need to swap my grill out for the TDR pro grill to get them? Or is there any for the SR grill that u just haven’t found yet? Also, what’s the deal with the air dam? Should I remove?

$22,000 in 1995 = 43,890,000 today

Glad I bumped up from a 2022 Sport, to a 2024 Off Road…

Finally decided to add some of my lesser-worn patches to my Taco. I’ve heard it’s like adding RGB to your PC; more speed & mpg.

Anyone have any sweet setups under a tonneau cover for the Milwaukee packout sets? I like the modular layout for tools for work and think there's carryover for the rec aspect.

Looking for some inspiration.

Looking for a simple radio/BT unit for my 2004 DC. Any input on a good kit? Not looking for anything expensive or fancy.

Picked up this 2015 Tacoma Limited today! 160k miles, owned by an older couple so it wasn’t beat on. My first Toyota, but I’ve driven my husband’s Tundra plenty. Very excited to upgrade from a smaller SUV to this

Bought used for $500 in the Bay Area. Has one broken snap and only used for 6 months. It’s a good day 🙂‍↕️.

Trading in my Corolla to finally get a 4x4 vehicle again. I have owned trucks and built jeeps in the past and am very excited to be back on trails.

I have $35k budget and am not sure what to target for a low miles/used Toyota.

I wanted a bigger truck but I could trade a Tacoma later when I can afford a TRD tundra and have enough money for a trailer and more toys to haul.

I will obviously need to drive a Tacoma to make sure I don’t feel like it’s too cramped but it would also get better gas mileage.

If I am targetting a TRD Tacoma 2024 (I have to have the larger touch screen dash) just how much more worth it is the TRD pro vs TRD off-road package?

It’s a big price difference it seems.

Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.

Any difference? I bought my '24 back in September. Was wondering if there are any actual differences between the two years.

Something like that

I recently picked up a 2024 SR5 and its currently equipped with Toyota's smaller driver display which works fine but after taking a trip in a model with the 12 inch display, I realized what I'm missing out on. There are a few sites that sell the unit but I can't really find anything online about how to disassemble the dash to remove the display. From what I can tell it looks like the plastic trim around the screen is one piece that also covers the start/stop button. Has anyone attempted to do this to their truck before and if so how did you accomplish it and what issues did you run into?

I've had RWD Tacoma for about 2 years. I don't do off road driving at all but It recently snowed and my truck really didn't do that. Would all terrain tires improve my truck driving in mud/snow?

So I’m looking to buy a Tacoma. What years should I avoid? Any years that are known to have specific problems such as transmission issues? I can afford a newer model. Definitely want 4x4. Want to keep it simple and stock for the most part. Any recommendations? Thanks!!

Just purchased a brand new 2024 Trd off road hybrid. Just wondering what people are getting for mileage. I'm in Calgary Alberta Canada. I got 420 kms on my first 70 liter tank... :( My average is 14.3 liters/100kms, eco mode and I drive like a grandpa. No taneu or carrying anyload just highway mostly driving to work 40 kms average a day back and forth. Kinda feel Toyota falsely advertise the average mileage on their website "10L/100KMS combined"... Anyhow my old 2006 tacoma Trd off road averages at 15L/100kms. Anyone else getting these numbers?

Need y'all's thoughts.

2008 Toyota Tacoma SR5 TRD 285,000+ miles Pulling the trans pan down tomorrow and I've got two different instructions.

One says only replace the fluid that spilled from pulling it with new fluid

Another says use the old fluid because it's thicker and will hold the parts together better (if something is actually wrong)

I've noticed when I went to accelerate, I pushed the pedal but it was a delayed jerk when she did move.

I just want to see what's cooking.

My question is

Use old fluid or new fluid? I know it's going to sparkle, but how much is too much?
