Now that the 4th Gen Tacoma is here, a lot of us are deciding between the i-FORCE turbo 4-cylinder and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid setup. Both use the same 2.4L engine, but the MAX adds an electric motor for a combined 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. If you’ve driven both, how do they compare in real-world driving? Is the hybrid worth the extra cost and weight? Any noticeable difference in throttle response, towing, or MPG? I’m leaning toward the i-FORCE MAX for the torque alone — that number beats most full-size trucks. But I also want to know how it feels off-road and if the added complexity is worth it for long-term reliability. The normal i-FORCE still packs a solid punch, but for me personally the hybrid is were it’s at! Let’s hear from those who’ve driven both, especially in TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims.

Hey everyone. I just finished installing the cali raised led ditch light brackets with some of their pod lights and it looks sweet. I ran the cable and such through the firewall but i have never taken apart a dash before and i was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to remove the dash panel that houses the button so i can wire in the new one? Haven't been able to find any videos yet of people showing how they removed it, Cali Raised just shows it removed but not how they removed it and i don't want to damage anything when removing it so i want to do it right. Thanks!
