    To temporarily fix your clutch squeak, squirt some wd40 into the little opening on the left side of your tranny. should shut it up for about 2 months...

    I don't like the door locks ... unlocking the passenger doors with the fob is a pain in the ass, I don't like that if open/close the passenger door the damn lights stay on, I don't like how the car locks itself when I unlock it, and I don't like the delay in the transmission. Is there a shift kit or reflash for the transmission?

    -Fender flares should be an option, I prefer the clean look of the 5 lug trucks.

    -Mud flaps should be flexible rubber and about 5" shorter

    -No regular cab available in Canada. I would buy one new right now if I could.

    Im the opposite of most people. I want as little power and luxury options as possible in a truck.

    A thicker, sportier steering wheel would be more comfortable, larger stock fog lamps, larger fuel tank

    That is not diesel motor in it. Yes, the HiLux is available but not here in the USA. Toyota needs to bring it!

    Surprisingly, the stocks speakers are quite good once you get a new deck.

    I'd never buy coconut water. Especially out of a carton. Fresh out the coconut is the only way :cool:
    I grew up on it and its free here...

    My only Tacoma complaint is lack of optional factory leather seats, and i'm not a big fan of the plastic bed.

    I agree. Plus the older ones has less water and more hard meat. After you're done drinking the water, split the green coconut open and eat the spoon meat.
    You gotta climb for the green ones :cool:

    My dislikes are my gas mileage (11mpg) and the cup holders. Otherwise the best truck EVER! Beats any other pickup out there!

    I have owned about every name brand truck , all were 4x4 , Chevy's front bearings ,and drive lines are crap, Ford 's heater coil , suspension are junk no HP, Dodge cheaply made truck with alot of bells and whistles, Mazda (before Ford) was a dam good truck put 850,000 miles on her, the older Toyota the body would rot away, the 22R engine was the bomb,I logged over a million miles on it and put engine in a mudd buggy and used it for years. The newer Toyota's have their + and -, but overall I'm satisfied with my '07, and my wife's '10 4 Runner(my.02)

    Well I have been reading the post about all the features you like to have on your truck. The main ones I liked to had was the doors to lock , leather, cargo light , and mpg center. It already has a/c and power windows at least the a/c and heater works really good . The plastic bed is a joke and the ride is ok but pulls around on the road, the brakes are dead serious touch them you get a 9 cents on change back but over all that I really like my Tacoma it will pull in 4wd liked you have never seen the back up camera cool but wished had the led in front dome light like my 4runner, well that all I got to say about the subject .

    Yes, scorpiowiccan, do tell why. You don't even have four wheel drive. Assuming you drive the one I see with my spry left eye

    I assume (shit ... this can only go south) the you have altered tires/suspension from factory specs as well as driving habits.

    If this is the case I can't see how you can blame Toyota.
