Something else I just remembered that went “out” on my Tacoma within 50,000 miles was the Bluetooth on my stock radio. I had it reset by the dealership a few times, tried different phones, but at some point bluetooth just stopped working all together. I’ve since swapped out my stock radio for an aftermarket one with CarPlay and I’ve had no issues since. Anyways, thanks for watching the video and sharing your advice (especially on my steering rack leak)!
Thats probably common with later model toyotas. I had a 2014 rav4 with a stock head unit and it was useless then got a sony with carplay for about 300 bucks with installation included and it changed the whole car.
Chloe I have a 2019 , when did you have to replace front brakes
Chloe I had them change mine a year after I bought it the instrument cover, it actually had cracks in it , where did you get the instrument cover
Lucas Oil makes a power steering stop leak that is worth trying 🤙🏽
One thing I usually do when I see something that looks like it could be a leak,is thoroughly clean the area. Dirt, grease, etc. Clean it off make it look new. Then watch it like a hawk, lol. Sometimes, things just happen underneath the truck. Maybe not even a leak. But, unless you start fresh, you'll have a harder time determining if you're leaking and how much.
Highly recommend, I can’t tell ya how many times leaks are far more calculable or found by just taking a couple minutes of proper cleaning.
Yep. Could be just be some residual oil from an oil change that blew onto the boot with the wind blowing under while driving. And it will look fresh for a while.
You might want to top off the power steering reservoir with AT-205 seal conditioner. It really works and is well worth a try!
Yup my 2022 has the misaligned bumper....3800 miles and the truck is leveled from the dealer. I have a shell and 100 additional pounds in it and at times its looking like it might be sagging a tad. Just ordered Firestone 2407 airbags to add a bit of lift. I don't offroad much but do carry a load when traveling. Bikes, racks trailer with kayaks. Went from American full size trucks to Tacoma again....will see....in the 80's they were tough little trucks. Good video.
Hello Chloe, My Tacoma has 149K and is still going strong lots of offroad miles love the decked system, new to your channel keep the killer videos coming Thanks.
Not bad for the equivalent of driving two times around planet earth 🌎 🤙 .
The surface of any sized body of water does not have the ability to curve. This is not arguable. If 70% of earth is perfectly flat, how’s it a globe with a curvature of 8 inches per mile squared???
Thanks for the video now I’m lol for all those things lol. My is 3rd gen but only has 21k miles
That power steering leak looks very minor. You could probably get away with adding a small amount of seal reconditioner (i.e. at205 reseal) to the power steering fluid instead of replacing the entire rack
In the 90’s we had this great product called motor purr. It was a little bottle of seal swelling liquid. It was great for power steering leaks and even fixed a handful of jeep rear main seal leaks
Could you just put this in as a preventative?
Don't worry, my Hilux has the same problem at 267,009 miles.... keep it clean after off-road trips
I'm coming up to 150k on my 16, keep an eye on your coolant bypass line on the back of the heads. Mine cracked just under 100k. Supposedly the part was updated in 18 but I know of 2 separate 19s that ended up with the same cracked pipe.
My 17 off road bypass cracked, cant miss the red fluid on the floor. Toyota wanted $2200, I called corporate, they paid the bill. That was stand up
2015 Tacoma. Have Leer camper shell. Noticed sagging before but especially after. Added Firestone air bags and no more sagging problems.
Steering rack looks good. There’s a guidance on amount of drip within standard.
Yours is like new looking, so is my 19 cement trd off road 4x4 - turned 164k today . Replaced so far 1 battery , 3 windshields , 3 sets of tires , 3” lift Fox shocks. And a large amount of money on Gas 😞 yours looks awesome and you’ve got a long way to go. Tnx for the videos.❤
That's impressive mileage for a 19'
wow. No oil leaks or spark plugs ?
@@davidb9323 nope, nothing. No dings, dent’s ..probably going to get plugs and brakes in April
3 windshields? Hitting low tree limbs much?
@@cydonianman full send 🤣
Changing suspension is most of your issues. As a Tacoma owner for 17 years, an engineer, and an auto enthusiast, making changes to several aftermarket parts and adding weight via bumpers etc will cause lots of issues over time.
I've got 242k on my 2007 with a 6 speed manual, 4.0, 4x4. In that time I've replaced the driveshaft u joints and carrier bearing, rebuilt the front wheel bearings, replaced the alternator, replaced the half shafts, replaced the clutch, and did the brakes. I use it as a work truck for my yacht restoration company and tow boats with it. I do all my own maintenance and repairs. 50k is absolutely nothing.
I also had the same problem with my steering rack . Problem started at 20k miles . Currently at 31,000 miles (1.5 years later) still haven’t replaced it. 😊
Is that covered under warranty?
What year is your taco?
If you get sumo springs from superspring international on the front and remove the front Sway bar, you'll have waaay better ride quality with not much added body roll. It's a lot more comfortable going over bumps in the road at speed, and if you ever drop the front tire down, such as off a rock or a curb, the truck will not shake as much. Your front end will also return to center much quicker offroad. Also, there's no more risk of the sway bar hitting the remote reservoir if there's no more sway bar.
Well if you had a 1st gen Tacoma you can expect major discrepancies around the 20 year 240K mile mark.
prior to that (some where around 150K) just 1 door actuator, reseal water pump with FIPG, cracked rollover valve , starter, and steering rack bushing repalcement.
At 240K ... Rear wheel bearings, Lower control arms and ball joints, and third member howling.
This truck is so good if they banned ICE I would find a way to convert it.
I still can't beleive she's on her same altenator.
No, after 149k my steering has no leaks (knock on wood); but I have the Texas assembled version of a 2nd gen pre-runner. Yes, I also have very light swirl marks on my dash. Seems it's an ongoing flaw with different generations. Thank you for your videos.
I have a 2020 Tacoma and I’m just about to hit 45K. Some of the issues you point out won’t apply because I don’t have the same modifications as you but I’m all about maintaining my Tacoma to a point that most would consider to be over the top. I love this video because it has me looking for potential problems I hadn’t thought about.
Thanks!
Wait till your timing cover gasket starts leaking on the skid plate
@@davidb9323hehehe
@@davidb9323 got A 100k warranty?
@@reedrk88t I don’t - some dealers charge as much as the repairs would cost for the warranty. Over 60k when the factory warranty runs out for power train would be worth it if it covers bumper to bumper. I wouldn’t pay for a warranty overlapping factory.
@@davidb9323 so what exactly is it that's an issue and I'm surprised you didn't get a 100k warranty with that rig. I'm wondering if they changed to a better warranty option in 19' or later. I was given one and it came from the factory.
I've hit 62k on my 2020 Sport and have only replaced idler pulleys/belt/battery and soon tires. I've had it since brand new but will be selling it for another new Tacoma I have showing on pre-order for almost 10 months
As always, thanks for the great detailed information!
Me running outside to see if my bumper caps are uneven.😊😂
Nice video!! Apreciate your transparency with your Tacoma mods! ……..maybe heat that plastic trim piece and mold it would help?
Love the videos, Chloe! I had about eight videos (yours included) to get caught up on and saved yours for the end. Why? Because the best for last..:)
😊
Hello Chloe , I don’t know if you know but the tacomas are known for the needle bearing breaking!! That’s exactly in the area where you see the leak. I just had my needle bearing removed and replaced with a much better bearing from ECGS it’s about $90 bucks and a great mechanic near San Diego fixed it. Don’t even take it to the dealer they’re just going to install another needle bearing. This usually happens when you raise your Tacoma.
That’s right, I can attest to that… I bought the same bushing kit from ECGS and had it installed counting the parts for $240. My Tacoma has a 2 inch lift and started vibrating at around 60 to 65 mph and was making a humming noise the ECGS bushing kit, fixed it up like new.
Thank you for the advice! have heard about the ECGS bushing, although I don’t feel the vibration issues after lifting as described by others which is why I haven’t done it. But it’s something to certainly be aware of prior to lifting a Tacoma though!
Another good video, how's the OTT tune treating you? Will you be doing an update video on the tune in the future?
Install a polarized film at the screen.... my Toyotas in Iraq 🇮🇶 Afghanistan 🇦🇫 has this glow reflected 😔 sun 🌞
Do you own any cats, and how do you feel about the name Karen?😊
Just kidding. Nice videos!
I’ve been meaning to order the screen protectors but this video finally pushed me to get them before the scratches happen. Thanks for the reminder
I also had the rear leaf springs sag over time. I have a camper shell and often load up the bed to go camping. I ended up installing the Ironman Foam Cell Pro suspension kit and the rear springs made a big difference.
2018 100,000 no leaks. But clanking noises when hitting brakes at low speeds. Moving around in the driveway. Maybe brake caliper contact? Not sure.
Do you have a affiliate link to screen protech? I just picked up a new ford in January and plan on ordering one for the center unit but I like that it comes with an instrument cluster protecter as well.
good stuff, keep it till 250k
I had an 06 tacoma that went up to 280k then I went to a 15 that went to a 21
So… I’m pretty sure that the off-roading is making your floor mats curl. 😊 That my take on it anyway! Thanks Chloe. I appreciate your content!
I bet its the heat
My mats have begun to roll up too, no heat as it has been winter since I purchase and no off roading either. Just cheap mats in my opinion. I have had my truck for 3 months now.
Get weather tech mats
I have a 2018 with 44k miles on it this is a helpful video
Max Powell did a clever uninstall for the Steering Rack. He did a video on it.
Really enjoyed this video, will make me look closer when I replace my 2010 tacoma but mine only has 260,000 miles so it might be awhile, 🤣
I don’t even even have a Toyota, just wanted to see what you’re talking about😂… 👍🏽
I have a 17 TRD off-road with an access cab. It has 25K miles on it and is not my daily driver. I noticed the shift lever (automatic transmission) was getting stiff and not wanting to move. Then, the D for drive would not come up on the gage cluster. It would even pop out of drive when I first started moving and I would have to play with the shifter to get it in the right spot to stay in drive. Also the cruise control would not work. Eventually, I got a check engine and traction control lights. Then one day it simply would not go into drive at all. Luckily I was at my house. I took the lever for the shifter cable off and the shifter moved freely. So I knew it was either the shifter cable or something inside of the transmission. I cleaned and sprayed WD40 on the shifter cable lever underneath the truck on the driver side where it goes into the transmission. It has worked perfectly for the last 2 months. I live in Ohio and the rust must of made the shifter lever stick.
Oh man, that sounds like a terribly annoying issue, but glad you got in there and seemingly figured it out!
I love that you point out the big and little things! Little things annoy me too! It is called caring about your huge investment! Keep up the great work!
I'm glad you shared your experiences. I'm at 17k on a '21 and it's not my daily driver. So far so good.
I have a 21 and I just broke 10k
@@hardenxx1335 Awesome, I hope you do let it get out to stretch its legs
@@hardenxx1335 Mine just broke 13k.
@@ryanm4013 living in Hawaii my mileage will slowly creep lol
So happy to see Cody 🐶 get a cameo 😀. Great video 👍. I hope everything is ok with your steering box. ♥️🌮🐕🐾
Y can't go for off-road
Y have max tr. Is only y how help your self
I would turn the front wheels all way to left or right, whichever way extends the tie rod to max length. Than the boot should be stretched out as far as it can be. Take some CRC Non-Chlorinated Brake Cleaner and spray the rubber /plastic boot down real good. Than look at the boot for any small cracks. If you see one, there is the issue. If you don't, just keep a eye on it. Is it possible some grease flew on it from driving from you greasing your grease fittings? With your floor mats, maybe the hot sun has started to deform them. The hot interior temperature when it is sitting outside can get pretty high. Thanks Chloe
Have about 54k on mine. No major issues. My blind spot monitor went out and also my drivers side heated seat. Which I’ve heard it’s really common on our trucks. I just did a tranny drain and refill, heard they recommend doing it at 60k. I will also be doing the spark plugs very soon. 👍🏽. Love your content btw. Good job!
Did you do the drain yourself, and was it complicated? I've been wanting to drain mine and replace fluid.
@@joshuahinojosa2103 I did it my self, actually its really easy. Almost like an oil change but a couple more steps. There is a couple helpful videos on RUclips 👍🏽
Mine has 54k also, my blind spot monitors went out also. Have you fixed yours?
@@SeanStewart88 I have not, I really love the blind spot monitor too but the blind spot module that is on the drivers side which I heard is the “main module” that controls both sides is like $600! I might have to find a used one at a junkyard or something but it did go out like at 30-40k miles. 😤
@@DosbrosTacosandEurosyeah just another gadget to break. Still have my old school 1st gen tundra trd. It's gettin old, but it will probably outlast me. I just can't justify buying anything with the market prices these days. Even on used trucks.
If i do buy anything again it would be the last of the dinosaurs...the 5th gen TankRunner. But they're about to go extinct. Maybe get one used when the car market ever freakin settles.
My steering rack went out at 80k miles on a previous Tacoma I owned. Luckily I had an extended warranty and the dealer replaced it.
Well darn, sounds like some issues with quality. I have an '03 and haven't had any of those issues with 212k miles on it.
I have replaced 2 plastic door handles, but the Texas sun can make anything brittle after 20 years. And I accidently pinched the plastic strap off that connected the gas cap, replaced that last year. I currently have 2 led lights out in the instrument panel. No wonder why people come up to me in parking lots offering to buy it!
My dad once told me the more the do-dads on something, the more chance of something breaking.
I hope toyota listens to a fan like you (obvious assumption) I have an old taco and it's not a problem until you get into the newer generations. You obviously know your vehicle well
nothing more expensive than used Toyota
Screen Protech is so worth it. Bought it on your recommendation and glad I did.
The bumper cap misalignment threw me off so much...
Good stuff Kloe!!
Great video! Do you have a link or video install on the bigger stereo screen?
Just wanted to say that I appreciate this look at the truck. I'm considering a Tacoma for my next truck but don't really know much about them, so I've been watching vids & getting schooled up on them. Good stuff ;)
The Toyota TRD Off Road is the best quality with the highest resale value on the market. I took my time looking at the Toyota Tundra, Chevrolet ZR2, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan XD, etc. I had to settle for the smaller size 4WD because my garage would not fit the full size Toyota Tundra that I wanted. You will not be disappointed with the Tacoma.
Watch your battery. My 2021 just had the battery blow out the bottom and acid everywhere. I had to open a case with Toyota and having the hood and fender repainted along with replacing parts (edit 18k miles)
The instrument panel “glass” in my ‘15 scratches so easy also. I replaced it, and it was scratched again very soon. Thanks for the solution!
The Tacoma beds are composite instead of steel so they will flex, especially since you off road. If you have seen other you tube videos they put stiffeners in the corner of the bed(by the tailgate to help stiffen the bed to handle the add weight of campers. Just something I noticed since I’m planning to do that also and again keep up the videos. Very informative and detailed.
And will crack if you drive motorcycles on the tailgate as well.
Total Chaos has the best designed bed stiffeners 🤙🏽
Good video. Thanks for the heads up on what to be aware of. Although I don't own a Tacoma, I'd like to get a 4Runner for my next vehicle, but may end up getting a Tacoma. I'm still babying my 2005 Tundra. Things just wear out over time.
Just got my steering rack replaced on my 2016 Tacoma trd offroad (96,000) miles
I just had my 2021 TRD Sport in for a 40K service. No issues, however, about 30 miles after that, I got a check engine light ( I had a Pedal Commander installed). Took out the PC and brought it to the dealership. It ended up to be a throttle body replacement. The service tech, a friend, said this was the third one they've replaced and the previous two had PCs installed. The PC worked great, but since that event , I haven't put it back in. Probably going on sale on Marketplace. Other than that, the truck works great and no issues! Just a thought.
Use gorilla glue on the side rubber that keeps failing off , it works great..
My 21 cv axle was leaking at like 30k dealership took care of it.
Going to roll 50k on mine this weekend! It’ll be 5yrs old in April too. Mine has been great overall too.
My poor 2017 Tacoma looks like it has 200k miles on it because the paint is falling off. For a truck with 40k miles it’s disappointing. So for anyone out there, do not buy a super white paint code truck.
My ‘16 Tacoma is at 107K miles and the only issue I’ve had is the 3rd brake light housing leaking which was fixed for free because there is a bulletin on the issue.
Mine fell under that recall and while I thankfully never experienced it, I still got mine re-sealed!
"pretty impressive!"
maybe you should look into some air bags, compressor, air tank and self leveling valves.
your clearly confident enough to do it! ( on the rear end)
I am wondering if the bumper mounting holes are elongated, which would allow for adjustment of the height?
2021 tundra 27k miles list of complaints haha
Biggest gripe by far is how easily everything in the interior scratches and I mean everything. All the door panels plastics just the most minor brush of anything against leaves ugly ass scratch marks and it drives me insane!!!
Transmission does weird shifting sometimes, doesn’t like being cold. Downshifts way too much while at any slight hill. Not as smooth as my previous 2013 tundra.
Seats are not comfortable at all, I actually think my old 2020 Tacoma was more comfortable than my tundra. Just stuff as a board and hard on long trips. Not the best seats by a long shot.
Terrible stock tires, which I guess is to be expected. They’re at 5/32nds with only 27k miles . Pretty lame
Everything seems to be holding up great. No mechanical issues, nothing broken. Just minor annoyances more than anything.
my 2018 trd off road with 2in lift bilstein 6112 1 in rear 285/75/16 4.88 nitro gear with 65050 miles no problems with steering rack!
Y’all funny here I am with 120k on 2021 TRDOR and it’s doing just fine
I can 100% attest to the saggy leaf pack; I run a camper shell and bed setup all the time, and the stock leafs are very wimpy. When I’m able to lift the truck after saving for a decade and a half, I’m gonna get an entirely new pack.
I installed the 2,75" lift heavy duty Old Man Emu leaf springs. It did not break the bank. It cost me around $500 to buy & install them.
I noticed yesterday that my power steering fluid level had dropped a little. Not much, but enough to notice. I couldnt find any leaks, but with all the snow we've had i couldve missed it. I went by our local dealer and he couldnt see anything either. Its 21 TRDOR with just over 28k on the odo. Im going to get the drop in fluid documented with toyota for any warranty issues that come up.
Simply solution, don't run a fully loaded bed all the time. While trucks are designed obviously to haul stuff, having permanently added weight is definitely not good for the vehicle.
Where did you learn to mod and repair your truck
I have had 3 tundra’s and 3 Tacoma’s .
I prefer my 2022 Tacoma TRD 4 wheel drive.
Best truck I have ever had.
2021 TRD OR, 48K miles. Just noticed the rack leaking in the exact same spot, left side. I have checked it in the past and it was not leaking, so must be recent.
Like yours, the right side is fine. I am opting to leave it alone for now. If/when the time comes, I’ll buy another OEM and swap it myself, and I’ll probably complain about it.
I’m curious, did yours ever get worse?
What kind of MPG are you seeing with all your current mods?
2017 TRD SPORT V6 2wheel, bilstien 5100, 285 17 70, 190,000 plus, I've changed the oil every 5000, changed the transmission fluid, coolant and rear differential once, that's it, God willing I'll get another 100,000.....
88000 miles still going strong trd off road 2016
So sorry, enjoy your TACO, if made in San Antonio. Now, they are Made in Mexico and that's a no go for me, because of the assembly work, Toyota QA or no Toyota QA. I will not buy a Toyota or Lexus built in Mexico. I am waiting on my Venza Limited (Made in Japan) or my RX 350h (Made in Ontario, Canada). GLTU TACO owners!
New bulletin out from Toyota last month regarding fuel smell from engine,cause is the high pressure fuel pump and TSB to replace.....dealer wants $1800, my Taco only had 61k on it....wth??? My 2002 Taco has 280k and no issues with fuel pump
Thanks to your videos Chloe, I had the Screen Protech before my taco showed up. Put it on as soon as I got the taco home the first day
That Screen protector is cool... and yeah that would bug the F... out of me 👍
Great video
Hey "Sista", just wanted to ask, if you watch Scotty Kilmers' Channel on RUclips or The Car Care Nut? Both very, very HELPFUL / INFORMATIVE.
90247
🙂😀😃😄😁💯👋🤞✌️👌👍☝️🤙🙌👏🙏
Regarding your instrument panel, I had Acuras, Toyotas, and Fords and they all scratch easily. Most likely not a Tacoma issue..
its an automotive industry issue! That's why we have thousands of vehicles on our site
Maybe a difference in lighting, but it looked to me like the bed to cab clearance was off, side to side. That might make a difference on your bumper caps too.
For the P/S leak, others gave good advice to clean it thoroughly & watch it. Also the P/S seal conditioner sounds good too.
👍✌️❤️
I have a 2017 SR5 and at 20k miles the serpentine belt went out. At approximately 45k and 6 years the battery died. My 91 4x4 Toyota pickup battery lasted 10 years. All new vehicles have more vampire current.
Strange for a Video about reaching 50K but your odometer shows 16832 makes me go hmmmm.......its your info real or just for clicks
50k+ on my 2018, zero problems 😊
You can probably top off the PS fluid for the next 200k miles and never replace anything 😂 My frontier leaks a tiny amount of oil out the valve cover. Oh well 🤷♂ Doesn't even register on the dipstick.
now am going to look at every toyota truck for the uneven bumper 😁
Dang I'm watching this and I have 155,000 miles on my 2016 trd offroad with no problems
All Toyota hydraulic rack and pinions do that at some point, kinda normal... Probaly get well over 100k miles before that needs to be replaced, maybe more. I have seen remanufactured racks from Toyota looks like that few years after they have been installed. Inspect every service, you will know if and when it needs to be replaced.
How bout using a good quality silicone spray on the boots and suspension bushings? Also works really good on the door window rubber.
3rd gen TRD sport w about 40k having major issues with the 4x4 actuator replaced twice now. Might actually sell the truck because of this problem.
I looked under my truck today and found same exact thing! My stearing rack noot looked exactly like yours im at 46K miles. PS: what did you end up doing with it ?
I think, your truck rack and pinion went bad or leak cause your went off road often and the bumpy road cause it went bad. My 2017 still look good not any problem at all. And to mod might cause some problems
I have a 2021 TRD off road. I currently have 46k on it. Dont have any issues with it. The only issue i have is cosmetic. The rubber piece over the quick charge is warping. Doesnt bother me since i dont use it. Not sure if this is an isolated issue or if anyone else is having same issue?
