Looking for advice on the best iPhone holder. I have a 2019 Tacoma and a cheap clip in air vent holder that works it’s way loose every week or two. Thanks!
 
You got a budget? Device mounting runs the gamut from dirt cheap to hundreds of $$$ depending on what you want. Best is subjective, but I've been super happy with this: Universal for Phones Device Holder G2. Super solid hold, easy in and out, have it mounted on a dash mount I got from "that other site" Tacoma Dash Multi-Mount I think. 67d makes their own now, and there's always the TPAM.
 
I mounted a tool holding magnet from Harbor freight and glued washers to the back of my phone, tablet, and radios. Works great! I should get a metal coffee cup.
 
I recently went with the weather tech cup phone. If you don’t mind giving up a cup holder it works fairly well.
 
I use the Steelie 360 Magnetic Mount. I have one in my Tacoma, work truck, boat and side by side. They are kind of pricey but buy them off Amazon and save.

I came to a Tacoma from a TJ, so other than the off-road capability and ease of modification, every bit of the Tacoma is way better. I am having a had time dropping the wave, I see a Tacoma and my brain thinks 'oh, same vehicle you are in, commence wave'. Yes! The wave is hard to break.

Simply put, this is the best off-road phone mount you can buy. We designed it specifically for off-road motorcycle riders and racers who want to use their phones as a GPS. You can ride the track or the gnarliest washboard and your phone won't budge, but when you stop for lunch it's easy to pop...

But that limits your choice of cases. Hard to find one that would charge and mount that I liked.

Not too bad. Nothing available for my Pixel. Might have to look up old cases and find old stock.

I don't like the weather tech one, it's not a great fit in the cup. awkward spot for phone. Plus, I saw another brand at Home Depot for half the price, and it was American made as well

Bought the hondo mount based on this rec and love it. Matched it with RAM Mounts RAM-B-238U Diamond Ball Base with B Size 1" Ball, short arm, and x-grip. You can also mount at the bottom of the vent, so it is below windshield.

Lower mount is what I now have. Developed a rattle after a few years that ended up being some plastic loosening with the extra tension from the mount up high. Switched to low and the squeak is gone.

Glad you like it!
