2012 Tacoma Questions

I just purchased a reg cab with 2.7L 4x4 4spd auto trans.
There is no oil pressure or volt/amp guages. Has anybody installed the guages?

I could not find the trans fluid dip stick. Where is it? or is it like my mom's Mustang - no dip stick.

Mine does not have intermittant wipers. Has anyone installed it?

I am looking at a soft tonneau cover. Looks like many of you have and like the the Extang Trifecta. The stealership wants $600 and they will install. Sounds like this tonneau can be installed in 10 minutes. I also found another source for the Trifecta for $379. Any other soft tonneaus like the Trifecta?

There's tons of threads on tonneau covers, read through some of them. I've been looking around too.

As for the tranny, the Tacoma has a sealed tranny...hence no dipstick. If you change your own oil, don't drain the tranny on accident.....there's threads out there where it's happened!

 

I have a 2012 4WD Reg Cab. I have a Scanguage that shows the volts. The auto dipstick is on the right side of the engine. I have a Access Original Roll Up that I really like. Great cover.

 

your going to get majory ripped off for a tonneau at a dealer or any retail place. I made that mistake once, and paid $500 for a Access Rollup on my ranger. after installing my Access Vanish on this truck in about 40 minutes i was kicking myself. you can buy them all day long $350-$400 to your door... heres a few details about the Access ones. ive been happy with mine so far.
