I think you know the answer about body work done in the past. Your effort would be better spent taking off the cosmetic job and seeing what you really have.

Do you know the history of the truck? Body repair done in the past? This is not normal.

Welcome

39k on my 2011 and will start looking at newer, or lower mileage, models when she gets to 50k

Something doesn't add up with your MPGs. I don't worry too much about that stuff because I pay for the work I ask my equipment to perform. If your Tacoma is performing for you then that's the price you pay. Maybe you are hauling, towing, pushing, or dragging. She is doing work of some type.

I say don't mess with a good thing. So, if Toyota were to listen to me, I would ask to keep their focus on the Mid-size market with the Tacoma model. Add more function to what has proven to function well. Like when they added storage spaces to otherwise unusable cavities, add flat tray spaces on...

Honda S2000, They don't make those anymore do they?

I was looking for either SR5 or TRD. Went for a deal on an SR5 and she does everything I ask of her.

Welcome. Logical choice going from 4Runners.

More often you will experience the truck rear end slide. A slide can introduce the opportunity for sidewall contact; perpendicular, no longer rolling. You can help yourself by turning the front wheels back into a rolling direction. I was able to practice this on a slick track at a police...

I am constantly shifting 5-4-3 and back again 3-4-5. This Toyota Tacoma shifter is fun, functional and form-fit. My hand lands directly on it. With an easy slap left at 50 mph deceleration into 4, then tap down into 3 as I decelerate further through the 40's. As I accelerate into the turn I move...

Performance is priority for me. My SR5 DC 4.0 is stock My mileage will vary with what I ask of her: Take me to work 21 MPG. Go to Snowshoe, WV 18 MPG. Haul 1000 pounds 18 MPG. 4x4 in snow 17 MPG. Tow my boat 15 MPG. She gets all those done without complaint. Pay for performance.

It was this Hopkins Towing Solutions with LED Test Lights

I really want my picture of the harness to show up, but all that shows is a square with a ? In it.

I did. It melted down. That is when I discovered the weakest termination in the harness. My LED bar light failed, pulled a higher load (but not enough to open the fuse). The conversion was actually a process of troubleshooting. I ruled out the adapter and then the next weak connection exposed...
