Can you try something for me?
While you are driving on what you might consider a noisier road (extra points for chip sealed interstate highway), toggle on and off the "noise cancellation".
I did not notice any difference in my own example of the TRD Off Road iForce Max with the Toyota version of Falken Wildpeaks and a standard (not JBL) soundsystem.
There is little information on noise reduction differences in any of the upper models, but for "insulated glass" and some additional door edge filler on the Limited.
That said, yeah the 2024 Tacoma is quieter than my 2021 example, but I purchased the Carista module and 30 days of app subscription to reduce cabin noise with little effect.

I did this in my '25 TRD OR Premium and I couldn't tell the difference either. I ran noise canceling off for a while and turned it back on. Tried it with the original BFG's and with Ridge Grapplers I just put on. I concure that the '25 cab is quieter than my '23 TRD OR premium(with
Dynamat in doors and back of cab). '23 wasn't bad at all but the '25 is quieter.

Thanks for the data point and other baseline information.
I assume that "Premium" means that you have the JBL sound system with the removable center speaker in your 2025.

I'm excited to announce the new Banks Boost Tube Upgrade Kit for the 2024+ Tacoma. You're like, wait, Banks makes parts for gas trucks? Yes indeed! Gale Banks spent the first 30 years of his career setting records with gas engines. He makes his return to the scene with these boost tubes, intercooler, and Ram-Air (cold air) Intake. No one knows more about turbocharged engines than Gale Banks. A quick Google search will show you what I mean.

The smooth mandrel-bent tubes deliver high-density air to your 2.4L turbocharged engine while reducing boost pressure loss. The turbo’s compressor will make the same boost at a slower shaft speed. The result is quicker turbo response, greater efficiency, and longer turbo life. The billet aluminum couplers aren't just for looks and strength. They aid air flow as well! Upon close inspection of the couplers’ interior, you'll notice smooth curves that aid in transitioning air across joints. Outside, spring clips keep the couplers in place, regardless of our hard you off-road. Unlike the flimsily stock units, hefty stainless steel T-bolt clamps and 5-ply Nomex-infused silicone couplers will last the life of your truck.

If you're interested in a kit, I'd be happy to help.

These aren’t available yet… you need a non-hybrid tester?

I would be glad to provide a brand new Hybrid for your testing when they become available.

I’ve been away for almost 10 days - but when I get home I’ll have a few boxes of goodies awaiting me!

Upgraded the stock (framed) auto-dimming mirror with an Advent "ADVGENFLCHLN" frameless mirror with garage door (homelink) buttons. Took about 5 minutes. Super easy install because it uses the same wiring harness/plug as the stock Toyota mirror. Advent is the OEM for many Toyota rearview mirrors.

The mirror area is slightly larger than stock (which has always seemed a bit small to me) so that was appreciated. Plus it's frameless so it looks "modern" I guess?

Added mud guards. Have a tri fold bed cover, a bed mat and vent shades to do yet.

Finally got the cross bin for my Diamondback installed today.. I put on two coats of bed liner to keep the noise down then put some indoor outdoor carpet down on the inside. Nice and quiet now

Which mud guards are those?

CartMan49 · Aug 6, 2025 at 8:36 PM

Rmourtekk. Off of Amazon. Seem like they’ll do the job. Really nice fit too. All the holes lined up. Easy install.

Installed the Miller cat transmission and catalytic converter protection plate today. I did it more for the transmission protection than the catalytic converter as the catalytic converter is so high up, I think it would be difficult for thieves to get to it easily.
