    Nice! Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

    My 2017, bought Sept 2017. Outside of the oil changes, has needed nothing in recalls, or warranty. I am still running strong on the factory battery.

    Two years and 12K miles on my '20. I've done one oil change at 5K and replaced one tire due to road damage last summer. My truck hasn't been back to the dealer since the night I bought it. Works and runs exactly as I expected that it would.

    I'm sorry sir, this forum is only to complain about small petty irrelevant Tacoma flaws.

    2018 , bought Oct 2018. Still on original battery. :anonymous:

    I might change the oil within the next year or so, probably. It's starting to look a little lumpy.

    I've had my '17 Taco for 5 years now, and haven't even replaced the Battery yet....

    No issues, no regrets.

    Nice to hear some positive feedback. Truck looks great. I have a 2018 TRD Sport DCLB with a little over 25K garage kept miles. Two recalls for fuel pump and 3rd breaklight, warranty work for alignment of the bed and bumper and just updated the 4 year old OEM battery with a 27F Toyota Truestart. Regular oil changes and tire rotations, ECGS clamshell bushing with 5100s, 265/70/17 Toyos AT on some $runner Sema wheels, OEM Pro grill, Rigid industries Pro lights, Pro skid plate and Pro exhaust just to name a few mods with a nice KDMAX Pro tune makes it a lot better while my ass is sitting on some heated leather Clazzios listening to my new Rockford speakers and sub. Loving the truck!

    I get the oil in my truck changed the 1st week of May every year at the dealership. Truck has 9600 miles on it now. Last truck I'll ever buy unless I come into some money then I'm going to buy a Honda Ridgeline. Ride in a little comfort to Walmart and back every week. :)

    I think because mine sits most of the time and when I do drive it it is short trips here in town. Reason the battery went out just after 3 years.
