• Welcome to Tacoma3G.com, a free resource for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners!

    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums.

    Looking back I wish I had gone for a used 2016 or 17 without TSS and would have gotten the sunroof... I really wish I had one of those lol! But I was new to the Tacoma game and was star struck by the shiny new 2018!

    Reference 3rd Gen Tips and Tricks

    Unfortunately yes. When you turn the truck off it resets back, but I never liked the radar even when it’s working properly. I prefer to brake and slow down when I’m ready not when the computer thinks so. So I’ll gladly hold the button in for 3 seconds each time!

    Reference 3rd Gen Tips and Tricks

    Don’t remember where I found this information, may have been on this forum but thought this would be a good place to post it too. If your 2018+ Tacoma’s cruise control is not working properly due to the TSS sensor being dirty or just being an ornery computer, you can hold the Cruise On/Off...

    Stock radio issues

    I am also having issues with my 2018 radio somewhat similar to yours.

It then reconnects to the phone and 5...

    Kid Seats & Leather

    Some car seat manufacturers make a pad that will go under their seats that the seats are tested and rated for. But any other aftermarket things I would steer clear of. I had a Silverado with leather seats when my kid was born and in car seats with no protection between them. When I traded it in...

    Kid Seats & Leather

    Speaking as a firefighter who installs these everyday for people... Keep in mind that child safety seats are designed to be installed on the seats and not on a towel or plywood/plexiglass. Check the manufacturer recommendations of the seat and the truck. I wouldn’t risk the safety of my child...

    4 runner Trd off road badge on a Tacoma

    Don’t know if you pulled the trigger or not, I just added them to mine and love the look. Better than the V6 badge.

    2018 TRD sport lift kit

    Can anyone elaborate on the affect a 5100s and block or leaf set up would have on the factory warranty? Also are there any other modifications needed to the truck in order to make the 5100s setup work (such as diff drop or cutting)?
