    High Milage Tacoma

    I have a 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport with 117,000 miles and plan on pulling a 3,500 pounds camper with it. Has anyone had experience with this? Would you trust doing this on long trips? I have always kept the maintenance up to date.

    Updating factory JBL stereo system to a new JVC stereo

    I’m going to update my factory system to a new JVC stereo with a bigger screen and back up camera on stereo screen instead of being in rear view mirror. It will have the steering wheel controls hooked up and Bluetooth also. Any advice on this and cost? This is on a 2011 TRD Sport .

    Discount Parts Monster

    Has anyone here ever purchased parts from Discount Parts Monster? I’ve priced some rear brake shoes and they are considerably cheaper than dealers price even with shipping cost. They are supposed to be oem parts.

    Trade Value

    I went to a Toyota dealer to see what they would give me on trade. My truck is a 2011 TRD Sport 4x4 with double cab long bed in excellent condition 79,000 miles. I was disappointed with their offer of $19,500. I've seen many trucks with a lot more miles and the price would be at least 4K higher.

    Satillite Radio Signal

    My truck is 6 years old, so it is out of warranty. I took a soft piece of rubber that is fairly heavy and smacked the antenna on the roof and it is working for now. Might have to replace the antenna.

    Satillite Radio Signal

    That is normal because of obstruction in the sky. But mine just will not get a signal no matter if obstructed or not.

    Satillite Radio Signal

    Mine will do it if the sky is clear of trees or other obstacles and stay off for long periods.

    Satillite Radio Signal

    Has anyone had problems with the XM satillite radio? Mine will be working fine and then it says no signal. It will stay off for long periods.I have called Sirius XM and they say it's my radio. Just curious if anyone has had this problem. My truck is a 2011 TRD Sport with a JBL system.
