Valve Knock / Engine rattle noise under load

[bobstacoma]

Starting another thead on this topic. My 2025 Tacoma has ~2200 miles on it and has rattle/knock sound under load (uphill or acceleration).

I would like to know if other's trucks have roughly the same noises when accelerating or climbing a hill.

Here is a recording made from a phone laying in the under-hood cowling at rear of engine bay.

The rattle is very prominent between 26 and 35 seconds.

I am unsure if this is "normal" or indicitiave of a value issue, injector issue, or oil pressure issue. No codes are present on the engine.

Normal. Everyone says they want a diesel Tacoma . Joking aside it’s the DS4 injectors.

Understood. Thanks for your reply!

Yeah sounds normal to me as well!
