Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives Tacoma Gen 3 - Any Issues?

I’ve noticed every 400 miles I’m having a change in engine performance. If its monitoring how I drive, it has given up !

It will burn rubber taking off now. The suspension feels better now after hauling loads of water. I run 28lbs in my tires. I also returned the general grabbers for toyo.

I’m getting 21mpg hauling 500lbs of water.

I’m installing a front hitch receiver for my modified bumper dumper.

My modification is I separated the toilet seat and moved the seat forward so it lines up to the bucket better when the bucket is inserted all the way. It doesn’t need a damn lid. Its the best fullsized outside on the go dump ever !

For the ladies, I cut a slit in the back of one of them pop-up toilet tents so the receiver can go through to the truck.

i will let you know if i have issues but i have only had it for one day. My first Toyota. 2016 with 95000 mile and it is like NIB,

My son bought a 4wd 2019 Tacoma new, with the 6-speed manual transmission. He's happy with it. Uses it for hunting & general purpose. Moves stuff okay, I borrow it now and again. Towed a 2,000 pound trailer about 800 miles one day. Hauled a couple of loads of gravel and stuff like that. Drives real nice. No issues. 20+ mpg on the open road, about 17 in town.
