    Towing question for 2017 SR5

    Thanks for the info guys. I have the V6 and was thinking 3500 might be the max for the right comfort zone. All boat towing would be on mostly flat land.

    Transmission slipping issues on 2017 SR5 Tacoma

    Just got the truck back from Toyota and I quote! "Shifting of the fluid causing NO fluid to be getting in the line causes shift issues to happen". Can't make this stuff up and they actually put it on my service invoice.

    Transmission slipping issues on 2017 SR5 Tacoma

    I find that going downhill or sometimes after downshifting that my transmission searches for a gear or just plainly slips up to the point where it grabs.

    Mold forming on underside of bed cover

    I have mold developing on the underside of my Lund soft vinyl bed cover. The vehicle is stored outside in FL. How can it be controlled? Do they sell a spray that works to counter the mold without damaging the cover outside surface?

    ECT question for 2017 TACOMA

    I am not sure if this has been asked before but can the ECT be used constantly without damage to the transmission. I like the transmission shifts so much better with it on. I have heard gas mileage will suffer but mine is not that great anyway! I have the 2017 V6 SR5 two wheel drive.

    Bull bar question

    I was looking for a 2.5 inch bar that is snug to the nose, not one that sticks out. I already have a vanity plate mounted to the front bumper that I do not want to remove leaving open holes in the bumper cover..

    How does everyone wash their Taco?

    I use Meguiars Gold Class car wash for all my vehicles. Have not found anything better. I also use Carrand car wash brushes, they are super soft, flagged, hold no dirt and do NOT scratch the paint in the 5 years since I have first used them.

    Hit 500 miles today

    My 17 hit 500 miles today. So far so good. No tranny issues, no leaks, no issues at all, just pleasant driving! My only complaint is that the radio screen is hard to see in direct sunlight but its something I can live with. Also learned my Havoc HS2 nerf bars with step (HPG - 001410) need no...

    Running boards, step tubes or sliders it depends on what are looking for. Remember you will get what you pay for in the end. They all might look good but each serves a different purpose!

    I must be lucky so far as I have had no issues with my 2017 except for what I consider a sluggish battery.

    Consumer Reports Hates our Tacomas!

    White is a great color just a pain to keep clean for me. I am sure my Barcelona Red will fade in the FL sun but it looks good now, LOL Gonna use Finish Kare FK1000 and hope it protects as advertised!
