    Buying from a Distant Dealership

    I have bought multiple Toyotas (Camrys, Highlanders, a Tundra, and now the 2024 Tacoma) all out of state and all of my warranty work and normal service work was handled through my local dealerships without a problem. The service departments do not care where you bought the vehicle. If it is...

    Tonneau Cover Recommendations?

    I do not know anything about the Lomax cover. I am still very happy with my Diamondback. My biggest concern was whether it would leak and I have now run mine through the car wash multiple times and we even had a hurricane pass through this area last week and I did not get a drop of water in...

    Tonneau Cover Recommendations?

    I have owned a Bakflip and an Undercover cover, and they both leaked. If you do not mind the water, there are a lot of options out there. I needed something waterproof and bought a Switchback Diamondback. The Switchback does not have all of the cleats on it and in the smooth finish does not...

    Seeking advice on nerf steps, running boards, etc.

    Engine Shake @ Idle When At A Stop With HVAC On

    I noticed the shake when I first got the truck but have not noticed it as much anymore. I now have over 2,000 miles on it and have not noticed it in a while. I have not taken it in to the dealer and the HVAC system works very well.

    Don’t pay over MSRP

    You are correct. My dealership did not have what I wanted and none of the others dealers did as well. My dealership put in a request with the distributor, Gulf States Toyota and the distributor then allocated the truck to my dealership. The dealership received the spec sheet from the...

    Apple CarPlay Disconnect?

    I recently have been experiencing a CarPlay disconnect while driving the truck for no reason. At first I thought it was because I lost my cell signal and would just manually navigate to the Bluetooth Devices settings and manually turn the Apple CarPlay on. My iPhone is still connected to the...

    Seeking advice on nerf steps, running boards, etc.

    My TRD Sport came with predator steps. My wife had reconstructive foot surgery and has a hard time getting in the truck with the predator steps, so I am going to replace them with nerf steps. If you would like a set of OEM predator steps I would be willing to sell them.

    Don’t pay over MSRP

    I did have to travel 100 miles (out of state) from home to get that price. All of the dealerships around me were asking as much as $3k over MSRP. When I reached out to my dealer, they did not have what I wanted in stock so they had to send a request to the distributor and then the unit was...

    Don’t pay over MSRP

    I had to wait about a month for my TRD Sport Premium Package to come in, but the dealership had the distributor remove the dashcam, paint film, and cable kit at the port and saved me about $1k. I also objected to the bed step which was already installed at the port and they removed it from the...

    Full Size Spare To Replace Factory Donut?

    I have a TRD Sport with street tires and the spare is a full size tire, but it is a temporary tire. My truck came with 265/65/18 tires but the temp tire is on a steel 17” rim and the size is 245/75/17 which is supposedly the same diameter as the 265/65/18. My local Michelin dealer was able to...

    Tonneau Cover Recommendations?

    I have purchased the Diamondback Switchback and really like it. It is guaranteed for life and it is waterproof. I have run mine through the car wash twice and it stayed dry. I get compliments for it all the time. I have the 2024 TRD Sport 4WD Premium Package with the short bed.
