Re: 2002 scheduled for replacement [kidkelly]
My father, in WV near the OH border, has a 2001 Tacoma with a new frame that was installed earlier this year; he did not get a new suspension with the deal nor was he offered one. Toyota Corp told me the deadline was March of 2011 and yet I am reading on here it is December 31, 2011. Toyota sure is misleading. I returned a 2002 Tacoma that I bought ... Read More

Re: Pulsating/vibrating 60-70ish mph & driveline pop [marty_in_mesa]
I have a 2006 Tacoma Prerunner 4dr TRD Off Road. Mine has vibrated since new. I notice it on the test drive, my dealer assured me that is was flat spots on the tires, and that it would correct itself by the time I got home. Well, it didn't. Initially I was really pissed and kept taking it back to the dealer to get it corrected. They balanced the tires. They ... Read More

2005 Toyota Tacoma RUSTING OUT!!
I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma, and it is rotting from the inside out. Every bolt, the bumper, tailgate, frame, etc...is rusting from the inside out! I have been back to the dealer for their "rustproofing", and it has done no good. This looks worse than a 16 year old car we own. It is always garaged, has NEVER been driven in salt or near the beach, and is faithfully cared ... Read More

Re: 2010 Tacoma Shimmy [rtm68]
My 2006 was in Bell Road Toyota in Phoenix Arizona working on my shimmy for over 9 weeks. They have given up on it. I got fed up and traded it in on a 2010 Ford F150 Raptor. Interestingly enough, I figured out the problem with mine while taking it to trade it in. The shimmy mine had disappeared when I put it into 4 high. The dealer said "it sounds ... Read More

Re: New Tacoma driveline vibration! [sergeante6]
I have a 2006 TRD 4X4 Double Cab that I bought used from a Toyota dealer as a "Certified Preowned." I noticed a slight shimmy around 5-10 MPH in forward or reverse. I assumed it was the tires and eventually (about 1.5years) replaced them. Surprise! The shimmy is still there. I took it into the dealer and the Toyota extended warranty refused to fix it because it was lifted. (it was ... Read More

Re: 2006 Tacoma [crego]
Kind of amazing, isn't it. Going to Toyota costs $800 or more to replace that thing. Seems that nearly all of them fail and it should be a TSB repair, not something that civilians are talking about here. Glad it worked for you.

Re: Bought new 2006 Tacoma and having tire issues [ryanhokie2001]
I have a 2003 Tacoma extra cab with 265/70-R16s. The doorjamb states 29F/32R – BUT – stipulates that pressure is for the 225/75-R15 tire size. I suspect you have the same, but I’ve heard that same year/make/model/trim cars can actually have different doorjamb plates with different tire information (regional?). I called up the local Toyota dealership and of course they have absolutely no clue on what the optimal-wear tire pressure should ... Read More

Re: Final decision help on TRD Sport vs TRD Off Road Tacoma 4x4 [boone88rr]
I own A 2006 TRD off road tacoma and installed factory "tube steps" in an effort to block and reduce rock chipping in front of the rear fender well. I also had the factory clear bra product removed and installed clear bra to cover a larger area in front of the rear fender well. I have taken one trip off road and NO CHIPPING!!! I would highly recommend the tube steps ... Read More

Re: Whoa...easy boy. My 2005 Toyota Tacoma DC TRD [trdprerunnerdc]

What could I get on the Nissan that I could not get on the Toyota? Leather seats, rack and pinion steering, all around disc brakes, more comfortable ride, more room (when your tall ... Read More

Re: 2006 Tacoma Double Cab V6 4x2 [rhwebb]

Re: 2006 Tacoma loud tapping noise from engine [toyo671]
Mine has the same noise although it's a 4cyl model(2006)with 3500 miles on it. I hear the noise constantly as long as my foot is on the gas pedal. Toyota told me 3 months ago that a fuel-line bracket was causing the noise but never heard from them again as to when the newly designed one is available. But when I checked with my local dealer, they told me that this ... Read More

Re: 2006 Tacoma loud tapping noise from engine [toyo671]
I have the same problem. Took it to a dealer. They guessed it was the valve adjustment. Sounds to me lie an injector or the old style lifters. Toyota told me the engine doesn't have "lifters" in the traditional sense. Anyway, to make a long story short, they douldn't find anything out of Toyota specs. The problem is getting worse, and it makes me feel uneasy. I plan to contact Toyota ... Read More

2006 Tacoma fast cold idle
I have a 2006 Tacoma 2.7 5sp access cab with 3000 miles. Since birth, the cold engine start is 3,000 to 3,200 RPM. Many trips to the dealer and there is no "fix" because of the "fly by wire" system. It takes a good 2-3 minutes for the engine idle at 1500 so I can use the clutch. Using the 5sp at 3K is impossible. I am a master mechanic with ... Read More

Re: 2006 Tacoma V6 Exhaust Noise. [koko2]

Ticking V6 engine TSB

They will probably be on backorder soon, from all ... Read More

Re: Driveline clunk update [vincewood30]
On take off, my 2006 Tacoma makes a clanking noise. However, it occurs only periodically. Is this because the splined slip yoke assembly sticks only at certain points? And does anyone know what causes a rocking effect after a hard brake? The dealer has been less than helpful. I am dissappointed with Toyota this time around.
