build thread

Hi. Purchased a 22 TRD OR MT Taco. 20k mi already on it. It’s a little zippy truck. Granted I’ve seen most comments that it’s sluggish. I guess I lucked out having a magnusen installed on it already. Not the biggest fan of buying premium but every other vehicle I own already runs premium so why...

Hi everyone. I guess I should’ve started out with an intro instead of going straight to asking questions. My names Andy, I recently got into trails and off-roading. Growing up I was VW head. I had a MkV VW R32. I’ve always loved the Tacoma platform, so I decided to go with a 3rd gen quicksand...

Hi everyone! I was able to get a hold of one of the last 3Gs built. It was built at the end of October but did not make it to the dealership until just before Christmas. I am looking forward to having fun with my new truck.

I believe this is my first post. =) I snagged this 23 Off-road Premium MT back in July and have done a few minor upgrades. Unfortunately a lot of the stuff I want to add, like skids and sliders, are too big to be shipped to APO addresses. No worries though as this allowed me to get the truck...

Hello all! Recently traded in my 2022 Ford Maverick on my first Taco, a 2018 SR5 with 37,000 miles. The Maverick was starting to have a lot of issues related to build quality - back window regulators going bad on both sides, roof channel trim falling off, rust in the wheel wells starting...

Hello, happy to be part of this community. I bought a used TRD Pro in Solar Octane with a manual transmission.

I have been playing around on the Toyota website, and 'built' the exact truck that I want through their 'build' tool. At the end, it was coming to a total of $44,000, and had a 'get quote from dealer' button, and I clicked. I ended up getting an email response from a sales rep that started...

Hi everyone..saying howdy and reading as much as I can as I await my '23 Tacoma Limited 4x4 - should have it in a week or two. Pics will come soon. Backstory: A couple of weeks ago, sold my '03 Tundra Limited 4x4 that I've had for 18 years! Talk about old faithful..230k+ on the clock. It served...

It’s an SR5, 4x4. mods include, pro grille, removed air foil, and running boards, running 265/75R16s on TRD pro wheels. I call it an SR5 Pro. I also put in a pioneer head unit with apple carplay. She’s also completely paid off. 🙃

FINALLY got my '23 Taco on Friday 8/11 and excited have it! Put the deposit down on the truck which was allocated to the stealership. Got ceramic window tint over the weekend including clear on the windshield. I must say the tint definitely seems to keep the heat out. Could actually breathe when...

Hi folks, I have a 2019 Tacoma Access cab SR5. Looking to do some light mods over time. So far, the only work I've done is an Expedition Essentials RAM mount kit on the dash and added a cargo floor behind the front seats. I'm in the process of mounting an ICOM 5100 and plan other minor mods...

Just checking in. Looking to get a 3Gen Taco soon, so soaking up the knowledge. 56, happily married, live in GA. Will probably ask a lot of questions.

So i just bought my first push button start and it happened to be a '23 Tacoma SR5. I am still on the fence about wether i like it or not. Should i just go with the flow of new and improved technology or hate it because all i know is a truck isn't a real truck unless you turn a key to start it? 😂

Just joined the forum and figured I'd say hi! Never miss an opportunity to show off my truck either! 😂
