Canadian 3rd Gen Thread

Depends on your province, alberta is mandatory, not sure about the others

 

Im in ontario

 

Block heater plug in is near the light on the driver side of the vehicle. It requires a Toyota specific adaptor, the truck comes with two of them, a long and a short one.

 

Anyone re-gear their Tacoma?? Looking for a shop around Toronto.

 

4wheel parts, does regears. And they are countrywide

 

Block heaters are an accessory in Ontario. Not standard. Where do you live? No need for one unless you're north of Parry Sound basically...

 

Try CT motorsports. They are about a block north of Pearson airport near the intersection of Derry and Bramalee.

 

How big of tires did you go?

Im southern in hamilton. Def not standard, did fine in 2 winters so far without one but as soon as i read "plug in my truck" it rang a bell and i remember the sales crook saying it comes with one. But it didnt. I was just curious. Wouldnt mind remote start tho

 

Gateway Toyota has this 3rd Gen in their show room. Looks like they added TRD Pro badges, grill along with the wheels on BFG KO2s on the TRD Sport trim all for $54,000

 

Hope they dont tell people its a pro. Unless they colour matched the trim

 

Someone will buy it and tell there friends that it was a special order colour just for them.

 

1st giveaway would be the headlights. Besides colour.
Guess there's lots of people that don't know much about theses trucks and wouldn't know the difference.

 

Thats a TRD Sport model. I thought they did a Offroad model to look like a Pro. Check it out.

i'm in ontario.
I had to pay for mine.

 

guarantee some sucker will buy it

 

CT Motorsport in mississauga would do it.

If I end up regearing I'l be going to them.
They're doing my lift.

 

meh.
They help take some strain off the starter.
truck warms up a hell of a lot faster too

Worth it to me.
I'm in Toronto and have one. When we had -25 overnight I plugged in on a timer (45min) by the time I drove 2 blocks coolant temp was already 65 degrees (scangauge)
I'm used to having one as I have it on my jetta TDI. There's been days I forgot to plug in and you can hear it just in the start for the truck. Might not need it...but it definitely helps reduce load on the starter and battery. Sure it helps reduce wear on the engine

Then again I also go up north a lot too

 

no leather interior, missing fox and skids.
those that would care if its a pro or not will know its not a pro. and said person will just look like a total cock.

 

They should have called it TRD Mall Pro

 

I was really disappointed with it. Loved it when it was revealed at the auto show in the states, but after seeing it in person at the toronto auto show no thanks. It looks much darker in pictures than it is in person.
