You're not the first to mention this as other owners do have issues with carplay too. I just hope Toyota improves in that area

I'm not someone who does a lot of 3D printing and this is actually kind of my first. Wanted to start with something simple and decided a hitch cover won't be a bad start at all. Don't think I did too badly.

Does anyone else use Lasfit LED backlights? I've had mine for over 6 months now. They work perfectly. Honestly, sometimes I even forgot about them. That's the way it should be. Just to share a tip for anyone who hasn't installed them yet on their truck. They only work when they are in the bulb...

Yeah the factory OR trim comes with 33s. I know it wasn't stated on my thread but there's really no much difference in mileage numbers whether you're running on 33s or not. Nittos is a good option but haven't really given them a good look into yet. Btw MPG isn't really a major concern for me lol

Just wanted to share how I spent my morning today. Took my kid out early this morning and he started feeling bored so I had to put on Bluey for him. One of his favorite all time cartoons. We had a great time and I think he's starting to love the Taco more than me haha.

On a level, how much MPG do you guys losing on nitro ridge 33s? Heard its an average of about 17-19 33/12.50-18 Then someone advised me to get a SL load rated tire for the best MPG. That I'd get about the same as I did with stock. Would love to hear from others who are on 33s and how much...

Yesterday I tested out this new grille on my truck. Not like my old grille is bad or anything, just thought the truck needed a new fresh look. I think I'll have this on for a while and see how it goes. Anyone changed their grille recently too?

Would have been better if you shared a photo of your truck on this thread so probably a potential buyer can see what he's getting. Sad to see you want to sell it off to get a SUV. Rather than looking for a buyer, why not just trade it in?

Have any of you noticed an abnormal squeaking in your suspension? Recently, I’ve noticed my truck squeaks, particularly in the front on the driver’s side, even on the smallest bumps. I’ve also recently noticed an inconsistent, light rattling under the front/center of the truck at idle. I...

I think this is purely just for esthetic purposes cause I can't seem to figure out what sort of protection it offers, tbh. Anyways, everyone has what appeals to them and I'm guessing you just love how fancy it looks.

Velcro isn't a bad option. Haven't really used it for any of my vehicles before so I can't tell if it'd work out great or not but, when you try it out I'd love to know how it turned out.

You're welcome. I'm always happy to share useful information on the platform so at least other owners can able to find solutions on here if they're having any issues. Hope you had a wonderful Taco Tuesday 🌮

I know a couple of owners who have complained about how their AC needs to be toggled on each time they restart their vehicle. There's certainly a way to ensure it automatically toggles on every time you start your vehicle. There is a setting in your dash settings called “auto AC on” you can...

Wanted to have a discussion on the kind of gas other Taco owners use for their trucks. I'm well aware that the electronic control module in most Toyotas is tuned for 87 octane, which is peak efficiency. Higher octane gas doesn't necessarily improve performance. Instead, octane ratings indicate...

Had a little rattle problem. So i did some research and was able to dentify my rattle as the passenger seatbelt buckle hitting the B-pillar's plastic cover. I fixed it in 15 seconds with adhesive weatherstrip. No more rattle. I thought this might be helpful.
