The Towing Hitch Camera on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma: A Game-Changer

Figured this was an off-roading mod... So adding it to this section. The factory exhaust hangs SO LOW on these new Tacomas. After all these awesome off-road ready updates, we get an exhaust that almost touches the ground... Lol. It's not that bad, but it's a bit large and hangs too low. My last truck had a trimmed exhaust, but this seemed like a quick and easy solution. The main reason to get one is to prevent it from being demolished on the first ledge you drop off when going off-pavement. It could also flex into the bumper and scratch that as well. Pretty easy to install, just remove two bolts after the main muffler, and slide the tail pipe off two hangers, and it comes right out. Bolt on the new trail pipe with the same hardware and you're good to go. Also has a spot to connect to the factory hanger to maintain overall stability. Tons of room gained, a way cleaner look (IMO), and well priced at $100 (as of today). Oh, and without that little extra silencer right behind the exhaust tip, there is a subtly louder rumble when driving slower and at lower RPMs. This is not an exhaust, but it does sound a touch more aggressive. Tastefully so, to my liking. 4-cylinder exhaust systems can be tough to get right, and I'm happy with this as is.

Coming soon... Quick shot down low. BEFORE AFTER Factory part vs. Trail Pipe Good quality. Welds are pretty clean! Little side profile in front of the rear wheel.

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the towing hitch camera that comes with the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. This feature has made towing so much easier and safer. The camera offers a clear view of the hitch area, making it much simpler to line up the trailer and ensure a perfect connection. It also improves safety by allowing me to monitor the hitch in real-time and make adjustments as needed, which helps prevent any issues before we hit the road.

The camera integrates seamlessly with the Tacoma’s infotainment system, displaying the view directly on the screen, which adds a lot of convenience to the process.
