    I have noticed that every once and a while when I’m right on the verge of upshifting that I hear a little “clattering” coming from the engine. Anyone else have this issue out of the 3.5L engine?

    Could be a number of things. Can't say I've seen it with my Tacoma but I've seen it with some Ford Explorers

    I’m fixing to change the plugs at 60,000 and see if that helps.
