Hey everyone, Wanted to share something we’ve been working on for the 2024+ Tacoma: a side-step relocation bracket that lets you keep the OEM step while installing our rear recovery point. The issue we ran into is that the factory step sits right where our recovery point needs to go, so until now, you had to pick one or the other. We figured there had to be a better way, so we designed a simple bracket that shifts the step just enough to clear the recovery point while keeping it fully functional. How It Works Repositions the OEM side step to make room for the recovery point Uses factory mounting points—no drilling, no cutting Made from 304 stainless steel with a powder-coated finish for durability Keeps everything looking factory while solving the clearance issue If you’re running an off-road setup and want to keep both a functional step and a strong rear recovery point, this should be a solid option. Install is straightforward, and we made sure it fits cleanly without messing up the truck’s lines. We’re finalizing everything now and will have more details soon. If this is something you’ve been needing for your Tacoma, let us know what you think! More info here: SXTH Element Blog

Toyota USA has officially released MPG numbers for all of their hybrid Tacomas. I am honestly really surprised to see the TRD Pro and Trailhunter being rated at 24MPG on the highway. Those trucks along with the TRD Off-Road (hybrid) come standard with 33" (rounded up) diameter tires. It also looks like only 4x4 models will be available with the i-FORCE MAX powertrain. The biggest gains are seen in the city with 3MPG improvement over standard i-FORCE Models and 1MPG increase on the highway, bringing the combined MPG up by 3MPG across the board.
