4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Yep. Engine sounds like gravel in a blender. Try 5W30 on your first oil change. A friend told me it really helps quiet it down so that you can focus on the turbo whistle.

 

My engine sounds perfectly fine, definitely not “gravel in a blender”. I have done 1 oil change and used 0w20. So I have no idea what you guys are talking about. And glad I don’t

 

Those reporting noisy engines, does it have the hood insulation?

 

It's hard to believe that we're only a month or two away from the 3rd model year of the 4th gen.

 

I wish the turbo whistle was louder. This is the quietest truck I have ever owned on the highway.

 

I may be misreading you, but you wouldn’t want her spooled up at highway cruise speed.

 

2 separate thoughts. I like that its quiet cruising on the highway. It's when I get into the throttle I would not mind a little more noise. May have to go visit Bubb to see if he can help.

That video will never get old!!

 

Question for the guys running roof racks with lights, how are you running your power from a light/light bar into your vehicle?

 

Is it true that 2026 will be a refresh model year for Tundra?

 

No. 2028 model will likely be the mid cycle refresh.

 

Makes sense. 2026 seemed early.

I guess Google AI was wrong. Again.

 

AI is amazing, but still has a long way to go. I've seen it quote forums as refrences in past search results. Anyone can write anything on here lol.

In Tacoma news, can anyone recommend reflective stickers to add to the vehicle. Thinking of adding a couple to the tailgate area that would be visible when down.
