2011 Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab Questions

I switched from a Accord Coupe to an '11 Taco about 1 month ago. I just had a couple of concerns about the truck on what is normal and not normal.

Is this common:

• Engine Ticking noise
• When you first start your car or at an intersection while on the brake the truck lunges
• Suspension sag (truck appears to lean one way)
• Can't see radio display while using Poloraized glasses
• ~20MPG (v6)
• Bug shield scratching hood (removed shield)
• A lot of people staring at your truck
• Tacoma owners park by each other

Thanks for any input

 

lol, all normal

 

Is this common:

Engine Ticking noise - Yes
When you first start your car or at an intersection while on the brake the truck lunges - Yes, caused by the a/c compressor
Suspension sag (truck appears to lean one way) - Yes, called "Taco Lean"
Can't see radio display while using Poloraized glasses - Yes
~20MPG (v6) - Yes, that's what I average (4x4 will be worse)
Bug shield scratching hood (removed shield) - Yes, but try a Weathertech bug deflector
A lot of people staring at your truck - Of course
Tacoma owners park by each other - Yes

And before you ask...Yes, your bank account will be noticeably smaller thanks to never ending mods, accessories, etc.

 

all normal noises and such with mine...
enjoy the TACOMA!

 

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. Can't wait till customize.

 

All normal things of owning a Taco. welcome aboard

 

Thanks

 

You're getting ~20 mpg???? Consider yourself blessed
Most I've gotten is 18.5 with mixed driving. Think we're still burning
winter gas here in CA though.
