    Off topic (sorry OP), but what antenna mount is that? Looks nice!

    My 2017 has 34k miles on it, doing very well too.

    What kind of symptoms did this issue present? Still trying to diagnose a vibration when driving. Have been thinking its a tire balance issue but maybe this is the issue.

    It’s a Firestik SS174 deep channel hood mount for both my CB and dual band antennas. Takes some bending in a bench vise to get it to become level and not interfere with the hood, but very sturdy.

    83k miles and I've only changed fluids, wipers, and tires. Front brakes are coming up though.

    19k miles. The (auto) transmission took about a month to get use to. Finally realized that it drives much better (for me) if I leave it in s5. Aside from that, perfection.
    Oh, and it seems like plain water tended to stain the seats pretty easily. I gave them a Scotch Guard bath and that seemed to help.

    2017 OR DCLB 40k miles. Runs like a top. Only thing I wish I could change about this truck is the damn automatic transmission.... wish I could've got it in a stick!

    2017 OR DC, 20k miles.

    Battery replaced.
    3rd member replaced (diff leak).
    Mystery rattle rear half of truck. Can't find it to save my life. Sounds like a heat shield. It's not.
    LCA creaking badly. Pending visit to dealer for warranty work rejection due to "modified suspension". Will likely need to replace the LCA myself.

    Other than that, solid so far.

    After almost 40k miles the only thing that was done other than regular maintenance was getting the high pressure fuel pump replaced. That was done under T-SB-0016-18.

    I bought my 2017 Off Road in April, 2017. As of this morning, I have 41,5xx miles on it. Zero problems or issues so far. Maybe 100 total miles off roading in very mild conditions (fire / forestry service roads, etc..).

    2016 with 45,XXX miles (6-speed auto). I've had the following issues: no grease on u-joints from the factory, improper u-bolt torque, low transmission fluid, transmission TSBs, squeaky leaf springs, and the front cover oil leak. The dealership worked with me to correct the problems. I still very much enjoy the truck and plan on keeping it until it dies.

    30,000 km, not a single issue so far. Which according to this forum must be some kind of miracle. :rolleyes:

    There's probably some correlation with time spent on this forum and the "hypochondriac" issues with these Tacomas.

    First of all slow clap for you and @Rapidfire1 on the 6MT. Love it in mine and couldn't image getting a taco without it even if I only have 22k on my 18 Pro. Any issues or grips with the MT specifically, or has it handled like a champ?

    Mines worked flawlessly over 30k. I preemptively lubricated the clutch pedal assembly with silicone brake grease, before it started creaking. It’s easy to do and takes 5 minutes. Been quiet and shifts get better as it gets broken in. About to drain and replace my MTF in the next 1000 miles and I expect it to only get better. Gonna go with Redline MT-90 or Ford Motorcraft XT-M5-QS.
