    You have a 2018? Rock Auto doesn't list the Denso 3491 for either the 3.5 V6 or 2.7 I4.

    Plugs are $25 each at the dealer. Another dealer 65 miles away sells them for $20 each. I need to plan a trip.

    OEM from the dealer no eBay or Amazon. I always use OEM parts on most everything and never had an issue.

    Order your plugs from Toyota.com with Labor Day sale you should get 20 to 25% off with free shipping.

    I think I paid under $20 a plug for oem. Buy them directly from a Toyota dealer. Lots of counterfeit parts online causing issues for owners these days.

    I'm doing a amsoil oil and filter this time around, from what I've seen the amsoil filter is exactly the same as the trd oil filter.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Another vote for oem from a dealer only. No fakes and with the holiday sales you can get decent prices.

    I thought Hawaii would carry tacoma plugs in every store.
    90% off the world's tacomas are in Hawaii lol

    Not to mention when you open the manual, they list both NGK and Denso part numbers. Go figure...

    There are many threads about this: V6 Tacomas came from the factory with 3 Denso and 3 NGK spark plugs. Supplier diversification, or something.

    I had no Idea that was a thing. Seems a little weird to me. When I looked up the part on the Toyota web site they pictured a Denso plug. Nothing wrong with NGK

    My '09 4Runner 1GR had Densos on the driver's side and NGKs on the passenger's side from the factory. I kid you not.
