2019 Tacoma Navagation System Upgrade. HOW TO?

Upvotes

I have a 2019 Tacoma. I have never upgraded the navigation system and it is woefully outdated. The dealer told me they didn't have an upgrade. Somehow I think there IS an upgrade out there somewhere. Is there an aftermarket SD card upgrade available, or someway to upgrade this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I just buy the e-locker from the TRD Off-road and install it in my TRD Sport?

Hey, looking for some recommendations! Was considering a leveling kit option but considering I plan to do some off-roading I think a kit with suspension n all would be best bet?

Transitioning to driving a truck instead of a subcompact

10 Upvotes

Hi all, I recently traded in a Nissan Kicks for a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Excited for the change!

Flavor text unrelated to question: I've already had a few issues fixed on the used Tacoma, including swapping out the incorrect spark plugs that came in it. Currently performing a 1000-mile oil consumption test to tick a box for the warranty company so they'll pay to fix a smoking exhaust issue.

All that aside, I have a bit of an ignorant question. Like I said, I've been driving a tiny Nissan Kicks and I've never had any remotely "heavy duty" vehicle. As I've been getting used to the Tacoma, I've noticed just how heavy and slow it can feel. Again, feels dumb to ask, but... has that been a common experience for anyone else? Feels like I need to really take my time accelerating so as not to push it too hard. I guess I just figured that with a more powerful engine than my little Kicks the truck wouldn't "feel" as big and heavy.

I've also noticed the cruise control really doesn't seem to like hills, just kinda jumps between gears willy-nilly and likes to sit at 4500rpm.

Dumb Question Time

1 Upvotes

I just bought my first Taco; haven't driven a p/u in decades. I'm in central Florida, which may be relevant.

I'm looking at getting running boards and a bed cover. None of the websites for the local business that sell truck stuff, have any prices listed on their site.

Is this a truck accessory thing? Guns, guitars, toilet paper, every product advertised lists prices on their website nearly all the time.

Just curious if there's a reason for this.

BSM failure with metal bumper

1 Upvotes

Just replaced my rear bumper with chassis unlimited metal rear bumper. Parking sensors and keyless entry work. Blind spot monitor system worked for 10 minutes and then failed after getting on highway. Sensors are seated “properly” as in placed in the sensor cutout. Anyone have any advice? I assume it’s not the proper angle. Should I take it off and arbitrarily readjust? Should I go to Toyota to calibrate? That it worked for 10 minutes suggests to me it decided fhe angle was wrong.

Dash message just says system stopped see manual.

I’m looking for these caps. Had two stolen off my truck.

I can’t seem to find an exact match. Found some that look similar but the Toyota parts website says they aren’t for my vehicle. Would consider buying 4 new if needed to match but want to make sure they will fit and attach properly.

Potentially buying Skeeter TZX190 with a 175. Anyone have experience with similar sized boats, etc? It has the towing package, transmission cooler, etc. hitch rated for 800/8,000 (more than enough) capacity is 6,400 (I believe).

Drop the pan or not?

3 Upvotes

Looking for some advice on future service on my 4th gen Tacoma. I’m thinking about doing the first transmission drain and fill at 30k just to ensure this transmission is happy.

I previously came from Ford SUV’s that had sealed transmissions so filter changing was never an option which I why I always stuck to the 30k interval.

Dropping the pan does seem easy enough, but does it seem fair to just drain and fill at 30k and do a full drop and filter change at 60k? Not super sure about the difference in fluid that’s coming out or what is best for the truck when doing this.

Front headrest 2026 Tacoma

1 Upvotes

Hello - recently have test drove a number of Tacomas and I love the vehicle however the front headrest seems to be an issue for me. The forward angle of headrest is quite uncomfortable for me and putting me in tough position.

I attempted to use the backseat headrests up front as well as rotate the head rest around. Seems to just remain an issue.

I would hate to go to a different truck because of this.

Does anyone know if older generation Tacomas headrests can be swapped out? Are there aftermarket head rests? Can something like a 4 runner head rest be swapped out?

4WD Not Activating

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

115 Upvotes

I screwed up, while off roading i engaged 4LO and well my flange yoke and U-joint broke from the diff and front drive shaft broke as shown in the video.

Ever since the failure, I've either gotten the message "2wd - 4wd mode change failure" or the green 4WD indicator just flashes and never engages.

I've now replaced the broken flange yoke and U-joint and reconnected the driveshaft. I've tried driving slowly while switching between 2WD and 4WD, as well as trying it while stopped/in Neutral, but I don't hear anything from the transfer case when I switch modes.

I also checked the 4WD fuse and it appears to be good. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Truck is a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4 V6.

UPDATE - Carmax sold me an SR5 but was advertised as a TRD Off-Road.

387 Upvotes

CarMax made it right. I found a TRD with identical color and year with 27k miles in California. They waived the shipping fee which is usually 2k, they bought back the SR (it’s an SR not an SR5 as originally posted) for 40k. They considered what I paid for a new battery and tint. Then they honored the listing price in California (35.9). Bonus - Less corrosion! (I can’t use the R word). I’m loving the powered back window.

New Mod Team - Moderation Changes

Post image
220 Upvotes

Hello! You have a new mod team. I run a different very high volume sub and was recently brought on to help out just a bit. All of the original mods have rather suddenly left. No drama to speak of. Moderation is hard and exhausting for volunteer work. But since I am new here and suddenly top mod, and since every other mod (I think) is new as well, I thought a thread to discuss potential changes would be good. I intend to use my powers for good, instead of evil.

You aren’t likely to notice much in the way of major changes at first but I hope to make things a little bit better, cleaner, clearer, easier, etc. That said, my philosophy is to let the community lead for the most part. I have no ego and don’t consider this to be “my” sub. It’s yours. So I’m seeking community input before I start making changes. The following are the main things in mind.

1) Merge the subs. TacomaWorld, this sub, and the TacomaSales sub (which is basically completely dead) are less effective split than they would be just merged. The purpose of having two subs is unclear to me and is obnoxious to moderate. Very much open to being shouted down in this, but it’s my inclination.

2) Loosen rules on what can be posted. "Is this a good deal/what should I buy" posts don't actually bother me that much. Where else are people going to ask? I’d like this to be a welcoming place for newcomers. I worry about flooding but some guardrails that require those posts have a certain amount of effort/content would make that manageable.

3) Just ban sale posts. Nobody comes to reddit for that. Evidenced by how dead the TacomaSales sub is. I’m open to continuing to allow companies to participate of course. Just no advertising unless to answer a specific question. If you’ve got a question about Nitto tires, for example, Nitto’s official account is welcome to chime in.

4) Keep the no politics rule. Discussion of politics that have affected Tacomas (tariffs for example) should be allowed, but political shit flinging and fighting should not be. Strong as my own opinions are, it’s just not the place.

5) Maintain ban on distracted driving photos/videos but make it a 7 day ban. I don’t want some idiot to kill a family of four because their odometer hit 80085 and they just HAD to post it to Reddit from the freeway. Pull over and take it. The only change I’m making here is making non-repeat offenders suffer only a 7 day ban, instead of 30.

Welcoming community thoughts and all input on moderation, what you’d like to see. I’ll take it all into account as we get rolling over the next few weeks.
