2017 Tacoma TRD Sport, Blazing Blue Pearl, 36,000 miles. Sharp looking truck, not as good a ride as the 2024 Lariat.

I worked in a Chevrolet parts department in the 60S before I was drafted and went to Vietnam. I had the part numbers memorized for those hinges - sold a bunch of them. They would break at the bottom pin, both sides, dumping the load and anybody standing on the gate to the ground. Many customers...

I get pleasure every time a large arrogant experienced company makes a colossal mistake or proves that they don't care about people and wind up getting their pocketbook lightened. I don't think for one minute that corporate leaders are pleased when they have to pay fines. If they didn't have to...

The customers also benefit. The lawyers are getting into Ford's pocketbook which causes great anguish. If they had been more customer-focused, they would have been more profitable. They got hit where it hurts, deservedly so.

Ford's "Just in time" policy is hurting the customer. They can turn out a new Maverick in 2 seconds but they can't furnish failed axles in 2 months? Really! It's time owners started making some noise and publicizing this and other major problems. When the issue(s) start affecting sales, axle...

Pull the dipstick. If you can't see the stick because the oil is too dark, change it. If it has metal sparkles in it, change it. If it is a shade of milky white, change it. If it smells like cooked varnish, change it. If it smells like gasoline, change it. If there is no oil touching the stick...

I've owned Colorados and Tacomas as well as my Maverick. My 2017 Tacoma scratched easiest by far. Note: Plastic is a soft material, prone to scratches. Scratches (poop) happens. On another note, the seat seams on my 2015 Colorado split after 4 years.

I like what I see in the box. It will have to warm up a lot. The motorcycles own my garage and it's cold outside.

Ditto on the Oedro cover, here. Gloss black, supports 400 lbs. Has safety latches. Installed in 20 minutes once out of the box. My previous truck (Tacoma) sported a $350.00 cover for 4 years when I sold it. - looked brand new. I wouldn't trust ANY tonneau cover not to leak. Cut a piece of...

Read the reviews of the product on Amazon. I ordered it based on the reviews which weren't all positive - sitting on the garage floor now.

Synthetic oil is superior for lubrication and will improve fuel mileage (as it says on the side of the container. No joke. In the 90s and 2000s Harley Davidson used regular oil in most of their Harleys. I switched all my bikes to synthetic. I would change the oil and filter and take the bike to...

I was working on the service drive when mid afternoon a man called more than a little bent out of shape. His wife went out to lunch with the girls and saw their car sitting in front of one of the local strip clubs. The customer wanted to know WTF. I got to the bottom of it and it turned out that...

The body shakes and shimmies more or less depending on wheel balance. The grit behind the flares acts like sandpaper as it rubs between the flare and sheet metal. This "sanding" process will eventually wear protective film. As long as you keep the flares installed correctly, you shouldn't see...

I purchased a Lariat on Nov 30, 2024 and received 31000 points. I had the oil changed Friday, the 24th of January (a day ago). I asked the service writer when the points would expire. She looked on the computer and said they would expire in May, but she didn't say whether it was this year or next.

I thought I was replying to the individual who said the Mav wasn't a truck. Sorry.

It's a truck. Read the registration or look at the license plate.

I'll keep it under consideration for later in the spring (single digits the next 3 days). :(

I traded in my 2017 Blazing Blue Pearl Tacoma Sport with 48,000 miles for a 2024 Atlas Blue Metallic Lariat with a 4K tow package and moon roof, Nov 30, 2024. Although the Tacoma was a tough-looking head turner (Fox shocks, 1 1/4“ wheel spacers, 1” lift on the rear end, wider tires, Sony head...

It's not so much the Ukraine war. Russian hackers are doing major damage throughout the world. Destruction is their end game. Don't help malicious people, even though some mean well. There is no way to tell the difference.

My 2017 TRD Tacoma Sport that I traded in on my 2024 Lariat on December 1st couldn't come close to the ride and comfort of the Lariat. Frankly, I was shocked by the difference in the ride and quality of the build of the Lariat. I don't miss the Blazing Blue Pearl Tacoma at all, except for maybe...
