    Just bought my first Tacoma. It's a 2016 TRD Sport. Will be using it slightly for off-road, snow and ice. Was wondering about common issues with this generation and some beginner modifications that you all enjoy.

    You can plug your VIN# in on Toyota Website to see if there are any open recalls on your Truck if you don't know the history of it.

    Great looking truck! Enjoy! Don't get paranoid like some of other members here about issues and simply drive your truck, that's what tacomas are for!
