    Fuel Tank Capacity

    That's another gripe I have about the 4th gen. The turbo 4-cylinder is supposed to be more fuel efficient than the outgoing V6 but honestly I've been seeing at the very most 17mpg when driving my mix of city and highway. I'd much rather have the naturally aspirated V6 with no turbo to break...

    Fuel Tank Capacity

    What was Toyota thinking when designing the 4th gen and putting a smaller gas tank than the 3rd gen?? I have had mine since January and I have yet to get at least 300 miles out of a tank. Closer to 270 is what I’m averaging. I drive mostly city but still having to refuel this often sucks.

    Small Gas Tank

    I had to tow a 5X9 U-Haul utility trailer (the one used for transporting motorcycles) today as I was towing a riding mower about 250 miles and I was a bit surprised at how much of a gas mileage hit that was on the Tacoma. Even with Tow/Haul enabled it seemed to want to gear hunt a but more than...

    Small Gas Tank

    What was Toyota thinking with putting an 18 gallon tank in the 4th gen Tacoma?? My wife's EV has more range than the Tacoma does on a full tank as I can't get more than 280 miles on a tank. I do mostly city driving with some highway but still even the 4Runner I had before would go nearly 340...

    Snow & Ice Buildup Cause Sensors To Malfunction With Errors

    Mine did that too when we had our last winter storm come through. The dash lit up like a Christmas tree as a result and was so annoying with that constant message popping up in the middle of the cluster.

    Lasfit Liners Installed On My 4th Gen Tacoma

    Got mine in the other day and I am very impressed with just how much it covers. I'm surprised Toyota's own OEM ones don't cover as much, especially the back seat area like these Lasfit's do. We just had some nasty winter weather come through here and I'm glad I had the liners in the truck. I...

    Super Pacific USA Camper for 4th Gen Tacoma

    Oof, I just "built" one for the 5' 4th gen Tacoma and it shows to be nearly $14k. I can get a nice pull behind camper for less than that and it would have more room.

    Lasfit Liners Installed On My 4th Gen Tacoma

    It only took a day to ship to you? I ordered them yesterday and can't wait to get them in the truck. I also ordered replacement LED bulbs for the DRL/turn signals after seeing TRD Jon's video on them.

    CAT Shield

    I had a CAT Shield from MillerCAT installed on my 4Runner and am curious if I need one for the Tacoma. MillerCAT sells one for the 4G Tacoma.

    Step Bar Recommendations

    My Tacoma didn't come with step bars and the dealer wasn't willing to do any kind of deals on the OEM ones other than full MSRP so I'm looking at aftermarket. I'm just looking for basic step bars, black, and was curious what yall recommend? I see the rock sliders in the other threads but I'm...

    Lasfit Liners Installed On My 4th Gen Tacoma

    I like Lasfit's products as that's what I ordered to replace the headlight bulbs in my daughter's Outback. It looks like I can get these liners for the Tacoma AND get the replacement turn signal/DRL bulbs both for under what WeatherTech wants for their liners.

    4th Gen Tacoma CAT Shield?

    I was about to ask this same thing. I had this shield on my 4Runner since the cats were easily accessible but was curious if I needed this on the Tacoma.

    Silver 4th Gen Tacoma Overland Build Toyota Booth SEMA 2024

    I'm curious what bed rack that is? I like the full enclosure like that. Like those step bars too.

    Rust on my 2024 Tacoma

    I’m up in central PA and our detailer offers a nice undercoating solution that isn’t fluid film or wax. I had it done on the 4Runner I had and it looked amazing and whenever we had salt it would just bounce off the underside. I plan on having the Tacoma done the same way too this summer so...

    Limited Bronze Oxide Tacoma at DC Auto Show

    Too much chrome on the front end for me. We were at the PA Auto Show this past weekend and the Toyota display had an identical truck to mine (Silver) and my favorite was the Bronze Oxide Trailhunter. The Bronze Oxide is a good looking color and I wish the dealer had the same deal on the one...
