    Highly rec a fumoto! I just pop the drain & filter, wash truck, new oil & filter, and you're good to go! Takes about 15 minutes each time without rushing

    If anyone is looking for a good quality remote starter then BestBuy has one for $120 installed (reg price is $320). Have had same one on wifes suv for over 2 years with zero problems and does work with factory remotes. Bought 2 $300 popular brands for wife and had to return both. Ordered one for daughters new 2022 RAV4 because Toyota wants her to pay a subscription to use the factory remote. Ordered one for my 2008 Taco and may order one for sons 2012 Taco. At $120 it is unbeatable and a no-brainer. Since I am a totaltech member I used my rewards and only paid $96 total with tax installed for my Taco. Just have to make the installation appointment. Brand is Compustar. Model is RS1B-DC3. Read the reviews at BestBuy.com. I know it works well on our 2016 Escape and reviewers say it works great on 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas. Yes $120 total with FREE installation.

    I am sure they are easy to install. For free why bother. May be instructions online. Didn't look. In 2019 I bought 1 from 12 volt solutions for my wife. Installed with their t harness. Followed instructions to a t. Would not work. Paid over $300. Returned it and they sent me the "updated" $300 model. Still would not program. Returned again. Then bought her the one from BestBuy for $265 with free installation. After 2 years trouble free I am not looking anywhere else. Cannot beat the free installation. Took around 30 minutes last time.

    If it’s an easy mount the box and plug and play, I’m buying one. I meant to have one installed this past spring.

    If you are going to install yourself, and don't have a BB totaltech membership, then check N2designs. Sometimes they sell good ones for around $200. I was thrilled to get the $120 prices. I do pay a lot for the BB membership but my family buys a lot of stuff there and we can drop off computers for free services and tweeks nationwide. Get stuff like free ring doorbell or TV delivery and installations. I just didn't notice the $120 was my member price. I always get notifications like my kids laptop is ready in florida. Then I find out my kid went to florida.

    Did a nice little 2 1/2 hour road trip, and grabbed a prinsu cab rack with the Cali-raised 40” LED lightbar and all wiring and switch. Bonus…on the way to go get that, i received a reply about a leer camper shell, in the same color as the truck that was located right on my way home. Very productive trip.
