Canadian 3rd Gen Thread

I thought that entune wasn't available in Canada?

 

No entunes in Canada, but if you want the latest version of your radio system just say to your dealer that your screen turn black for no reason. They will update your version.

 

That's what I thought. My '18 HD radio in my trd sport looks the same as the 16-17 so what's the point in updating?

 

Your radio like a computer can have the software updated.

 

Yes but that is to address issue your having but the radio update doesn't add any enhancements.

 

Sounds like we don't get the app suite, USA thing. Next time I go in for warranty work I'll see if there's updates, last time they did update it and it fixed a bunch of bluetooth issues.

 

Does anyone know of a good line on 17/18 trd pro 16inch Rims and. If they have a good offset? I'm wanting to ditch my 2018 trd off road rims or worst case paint black and get spacers

 

You can put black vinyl (see this thread - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...er-chrome-trd-off-road-16’-18’.522061/page-26) or use plastidip to spray paint the wheels with rubber paint.

The 16" TRD Pro wheels do not stick out any further than the stock TRD Off Road wheels, as far as I am aware.

 

I've seen those stickers and not a fan also hate plastidip. I would do real rim paint. The stuff from Canadian tire is awesome. 6 to 8 coats and your good to go.

I've read conflicting points so far.
Some places say they are 0 offset, some a 12 offset, some just a 12 offset for the 17 inch rims. FML.

 

The 16" TRD Pro wheels are +13 offset according to the info in this link. The 17" TRD Pro are +4 offset. Tacomatownonline.com is part of Cochrane Toyota in Cochrane, Alberta.

So far I don't have any issues with "poke" or spray all over the side of the truck, with the 17" TRD Pro rims. Consider those unless you want more sidewall for comfort.

 

Do they really mean +13 offset or actual negative offset? Positive offset pushes the wheel further under the vehicle from what I've read. If it's 13mm away from the vehicle then that would be perfect.

 

Just realized this is still available if anyone is still looking for a lifted Tacoma: https://www.mayfieldtoyota.com/inventory/new/2017-toyota-tacoma-edmonton-alberta/14360042

 

Positive offset means the wheels are further in. Negative offset means the wheels sit further out. Standard Off Road wheels are apparently +25 offset, so 16" TRD Pro wheels at +13 should sit out a little further

 

Dem rims....no

 

Gonna have to agree with you there.
Aside from that, nice looking truck though

 

I have enjoyed many things about canada, but how are you guys dealing with everything been far more expensive? Case in point, I need some need bars.

The only thing cheaper in Canada that I have seen is a costco hotdog..1.50 in both countries. Lol

 

Anyone buy the 5100's? how much did you pay?

 

It’s absurd, isn’t it?
If you live near the border, you could drive across to a shop, buy the parts and have them installed for the same price as getting them shipped to you up here. If you’re smooth, you can get through the border without paying duty.
I’ve known a few guys that have done this with tires, etc.
I try to support local/Canadian business, but sometimes it’s just not reasonable.

 

Here is another example of the difference in prices:

Plastidip rubber paint - Home Depot US (.com) - $6.27 US
- Home Depot Canada (.ca) - $22.97 CAD - but on sale now for the bargain price of $16.97 CAD
