    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.

    2021 Tacoma-Bought New-Battery Life expectancy?

    Just turned 10,000 miles. Have had the Tacoma V6 4 Door for 25 months now. What OEM battery life are other owners finding? Is it a cheapo that dies after a couple of years, or do they last longer? I tend to replace batteries with top grade options before they die. I have never had a...

    2024 Tacoma Revealed! Here's Everything About It.

    Longer front door. That would be helpful for me. Maybe a bit higher sill to door height. Even an inch would help over the Gen 3. I like the wheel arches.

    I am looking for advice and experience with navigators that are Bluetooth connectable but not a smart phone. Wanting the dash screen to display the nav screen and controls. Any suggestions? 2021 SR with 7" screen

    Got side swiped...

    Thanks for responding. I sent that pic to my body shop. Here is the reply form the shop owner: I've been doing bodywork/painting for over 30 years now, I'm sure I can take care of it for you! Look at the bright side, it looks like everything can be repaired instead of having to order parts-...

    Got side swiped...

    3,200 miles new! Dang. Seems like every truck I buy gets hit within months. This is the 4th new truck over the years damaged when new. None of my old cars get banged up right after I buy them. Only the new ones! Hopefully it can be repaired correctly.

    Picked up the second remote key today...

    When I bought my Tacoma a few months ago it only came with a single remote key. And a note promising a second one "someday" in the future. Well that day was today. Interesting experience. Toyota went to the trouble of confirming via email the appointment for the key and programming. I got...

    Toyota Production Cut

    They still owe me a remote key fob for the NEW Tacoma I bought 4 months ago. Only came with one. Their plan will "chip" away at sales, that's for sure.

    Anyone else concerned about 3G Network being retired as of Nov 1, 2022?

    I still think of my Toyota as a truck, not a communication/entertainment device. Maybe I'm just an old geezer and out of touch. No offense intended toward the "wired generation". Everything went downhill with the tape recorder answering machine in the home. :giggle:

    What is the deepest engine repair you undertook on your V6?

    Is everything so new nothing has gone wrong yet? Or have some of you dug into the engine making repairs? What was it, how hard was it, and how did it turn out? Or is it still all warranty work?

    Ham Radio Installation

    You will have a lot of fun with ham radio. Especially well equipped mobile. Stay away from cheap Asian imported radios. They only make you want to buy better equipment.
