    windshield replacement

    Replacement Windshield ? I have a 2021 Tacoma and it has a clear windshield. The dealer has told me the windshield I have is not replaceable at the dealership. I have had my 4X4 Offroad since last September & it has 7300 miles on it. I did not know it came with a 'clear' windshield. I use this...

    Light Bar

    Thanks I believe that's where the dealer got mine. It's gonna cost me around $900 installed. Petersons will warranty it for as long as I have the truck. My son Seth (lives in Bozeman) bought a 4 Runner and changed out the wheels and tires. Had the local shop there put the 2" lift kit in on the...

    Light Bar

    I went to the Toyota dealership where I purchased my Tacoma 3 months ago. I was looking for a Light Bar that would look good and work well. The dealer showed me one that fits in the front grill opening....above the bumper. I forgot to ask him if it is adjustable. I was just wondering if anyone...

    Surge.

    Thank you folks for the info. I get a little concerned on this subject. I had bought my wife a new 2009 RAV4. Limited. We drove it about 6k and it started having 'Unintended Acceleration'. After going thru all the issues with the Toyota District we "traded" it back to them and we got another...

    Surge.

    I now have 1145 miles on my new 2021. I have noticed a surge in acceleration when pulling into my garage. It is also noticeable when using reverse in parking lots. Seems like when I stop and then when I change directions. Not sure what this could be or just normal function. Mike

    Seat Covers

    A few weeks back I posted that I had seat covers that came off my 2021 Tacoma. I had my original front & rear seat covers taken off because the dealership was installing Leather Heated seats on my new TRD Off Road. They put the stock seats in the box that the leathers came. I really hate to see...

    Tonneau installed today

    Thank you. I think it came out decent. Not sure of what Drain Tubes you are referring to. The tonneau was installed by the dealer. He says anything installed by them means the product is covered by Toyota warranty. Mike Idaho

    Seats

    I Sent your contact info to my son Seth. He says it looks like you are a Toyota club and he has a Ford. He is buying a new FOUR RUNNER.

    Seats

    We used VW Things primarily in the outfitting business. Owyhee Expeditions Outfitting. Had different rigs so the tires were varied. We used the Uniroyal 15 in tires and wheels. Peterson Toyota did the seats for us. They will add them to the factory warranty.

    Seats

    I mentioned last week that I had the original seats that came my new Tacoma. I had decided to have the dealer install heated leather seats. The originals are in a box in my truck. I really don't have any need for them. I was hoping someone close to me here in Idaho. I do make frequent trips...

    Tires .....new 2021 TRD Off Road

    Thanks for your info. I do like the way these ride. It's 218 miles up to the farm from here in Boise. So I do have a lot of hot pavement for most of my trips. They put a matching spare on as well. Best Mike

    Tires .....new 2021 TRD Off Road

    The new Tacoma arrived this Tuesday. It came with Goodyear Wrangler 245/75R16. I drove it and was surprised in how good it handled. Can you folks tell me if I should keep them? This is my 4th Tacoma, and for many years I would just go from the dealership to my local Les Schwab and have a set of...

    Well my new Tacoma has arrived. 2021 TRD Off Road double cab.

    I had the factory seats removed and redone with leather front & back. Is there any interest in the original seat covers from the factory? They have 12 miles on them.

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    My Tacoma arrived at the dealership this morning. I have had great service with The Back Country Les Schwab. I use the LT 245/75R 16. I have used about 4 sets on my Tacoma's. The Back Country tires ran very well and did the pavement pretty quietly.....while having a somewhat aggressive grip...

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    I believe the sales guy told me the Military Green wasn't going to be available for very long. My current 2018 Tacoma is the tan they call Quicksand. I did notice with that color it was hard to see it in the Salmon River Highway heading north from Boise. It's the same color as the cliffs on both...

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    I got a call from the dealership this morning. Advised me the Tacoma had arrived. I went over there and saw the Heated Leather seats had been installed. They didn't have the Tonneau cause it was on back order. Asked them how long it would be to do the other items. Said to come over tomorrow and...

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    Very good. Thanks for the invite. Our farm is on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation so we can get to Bozeman by going on hwy 12 to Lolo Mt. It's not a big trip but the weather has to be right. Our house is here in Boise. I can wear out a Tacoma pretty quick. I didn't hear from the dealer today...

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    This is the 3rd Tacoma that I will have had. All of the others have been used on our farm. They took a beating. I'm now leasing most of our wheat acreage to a neighbor farmer. I decided to get what I wanted this time. I wanted a full load of accessories. The problem was at that level it had to...

    New Tacoma TRD Off Road

    I stopped at the dealer to check on when my Tacoma would be here. He said they expect it to arrive between Sept 20th thru the 26th. He said someone had taken a picture of the Port of Portland where the Tacoma's are gotten ready for shipment. He said it looked like there was 1000 vehicles there...

    Headlights

    I had replaced bulbs like that many years ago. They are different than I recall. Will I have many issues with adjusting them? Also I noticed they come in different colors???? What is the deal on those? I've been restoring VW Things for the last 40 years. They have the old type glass three...

    Headlights

    I understand. The kit I found on line shows it would be the LUMEN G10 LED Kit for around $100. I'm going check with the dealer and see if they would change the bulbs out if I brought them and paid for the labor. Mike

    Headlights

    I understand my new Tacoma will come with Projector Headlights. Is there a way to have them switched over to LED? Will the dealer do these? Thanks Mike

    Arrival of 2021 Tacoma

    Ours was ordered July 12th. It was already in Petersons dealership order. We chose it and made changes to the build for what we wanted. It was one of three or four that were still available. It was not in the allocation cut . We went this way so we could get a Tacoma without the sunroof. We...

    Arrival of 2021 Tacoma

    Yesterday I was notified by my dealer that my Tacoma has been built and is at the railhead. He said it should arrive in Boise between Sept 16th & 21st. When it arrives they will install the accessories I ordered. This will add two - 3 days on my pick up. I'm having the dealer install Heated...

    Hello I ordered a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer said it would be here on Sept 26. are these dates usually good?

    Visited the dealer yesterday. The order for my Tacoma will start build on Monday. They said our order was delayed 6 days because of the shortage of computer chips. It is to be delivered on Sept 30th. Mike

    Hello I ordered a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer said it would be here on Sept 26. are these dates usually good?

    I ordered a Toyota Tacoma a week or so back. It had been originally ordered for the dealers stock. My receipt from the dealer shows the Tacoma was ordered 7/20. I asked the dealer if they had any idea when it would show. I was told the dealerships can call the Port of Entry at Portland Or and...

    Hello I ordered a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer said it would be here on Sept 26. are these dates usually good?

    Thanks I didn't think it would be so long. I plan on having heated seats installed. The dealership will do them for $699. I usually bring the new trucks into Les Schwab and have the factory P tires swapped out for something like Toyos with a LT rating.

    Hello I ordered a 2021 Tacoma yesterday. The dealer said it would be here on Sept 26. are these dates usually good?

    It's a 2021 my mistake. I have a 2018 Tacoma that I use on the farm. My wife & I wanted a new one as it has options that we want. The one I ordered yesterday is a Tacoma TRD Off road. The 2018 on the farm has 15,000 miles. We will use the new one for cruising. I think I did ok. I traded a 2009...

    The sales guy was not very informed. I have at this time a 2018 Tacoma that I use to get to our farm at Nezperce Idaho. I have the rear covered with a LEER topper.

    Maintenance Any EFFECTIVE ways to prevent RODENT damage or infestation on the Tacoma

    On the farm we see folks using GlueTrap. Works well on mice but it's a deterrent for some larger critters. Sticks to their feel and for the most part they don't come back. My wifes RAV had all the wiring destroyed on the top of the engine. I had left the lid off a 5 gallon container of wheat...

    Hello, I have a 2018 Tacoma, SR5. Quicksand.

    I did do the ECT button on the dash. They told me it would get better. White Bird Hill is a long pull and drops quite a bit. They said they could "reprogram" the computer . I brought it in and they had it for 3 hours. The service documents said something to the effect they would forward my...

    Hello, I have a 2018 Tacoma, SR5. Quicksand.

    Thank you. It didn't seem right to me. I really enjoy this truck. Did have a 3 month go around with it not shifting correctly. When it tried to take a hill it would "hunt" for a gear it liked and shifted all over. I think mine is a six speed auto. .

    Hello, I have a 2018 Tacoma, SR5. Quicksand.

    I took my truck into the local dealership where I had bought it. I was there to have the recall done on the "low pressure" fuel pump. It was in the shop while I waited . It took 38 minutes. I thought it would have been longer for some one in the dealership to replace the fuel pump.
