2025 Pro picked up Sept last year. 18,000 miles. Averaging 17-18 mpg winter, 20-21 mpg summer with the mix of driving I do. Very happy with the vehicle.

I had this happen a couple times on hard acceleration after installing an aftermarket exhaust (with higher flow) on my TRD Pro. It went away on each restart and was gone in a few days and never came back. The error itself was triggered by an airflow reading out of spec (too high) and is done...

I have a Pro and the AT3s have been great for driving (quiet, good handling) and some off-roading that I've done. I did get one puncture (self-tapping screw) in a sidewall which was a bummer. I think it was more dumb (un)luck than anything. The tire guy said a load range E still would have...

Thanks!

Any photos of the install? The TRD Pro is a 2.75" exhaust and this is 3" so I didn't expect it would work. I tried the AWE OFG exhaust and it was too loud for me so I went back to the stock TRD Pro exhaust but I'm still interested in reducing the drone. Thanks.

Duneland Off-road center. Ask for the new "tacoma" flag mount. https://www.dunelandoffroadcenter.com/

Have fun! I was just there a few weeks ago and it was a blast. The local shop also has in stock flag mounts that work for the new Tacoma's and 4Runners so I just bought one from them. It was around $30. Keep an eye on your transmission temp. Mine climbed when pushing hard up the dunes in...

Mine came with them and I ordered an extra key from McGuard. Looks like the locks Toyota used were from them. I think $60-80 is normal though since my wife just bought a set for her Ford for $80. Her wheels were stolen last year at a hotel near the airport (her car was the only one around...

One more complaint on the excessive beeping. If you put it on jack stands and in neutral so you can rotate the rear driveshaft for lubricating the zerk fittings, the vehicle alarms the whole time. If anyone knows how to turn this off, please let me know! I couldn't find any way to change this...

Pros: Still seems built for 4Runner reliability (I drove my previous gen 3 for 21 years). Any non-Toyota options were dismissed due to long term reliability concerns. Plus anything with a removable top (Jeep or Bronco) were a no-go due to noise at freeway speeds. It was 4R, Land Cruiser or...

I have a Pro and put on the Greenlane sliders. Same as you I mainly use them as steps but wanted the protection on the few times I do harder off-road trails just as insurance. If you're doing regular rock bashing, steel is better but for me I wanted "just in case" protection and corrosion...

Same thing happened to me. The OEM tires are just SL rated (weak sidewalls) and less tread depth too so even a new SL tire wouldn't fully match and they are more expensive despite only being good for about 1/2 the miles of a regular SL Toyo tire. I just put my spare on so I have 4 matching...

Thanks for the head's up. What do you mean by resonance? And you say it's under load in a higher gear. So it's not an issue under "normal" driving? I don't drive hard so hopefully the AWE is an improvement for me. The Pro exhaust droning around 40-60mph at low RPM/minimal acceleration is...

I'm getting the AWE OFG exhaust soon (installing this week) to replace my TRD Pro exhaust. The TRD Pro exhaust sounds good except for the droning which, like some others, I dislike.

Curious as to why you didn't like it at first. Can you explain? I'm considering the tune as well. My main concern was long-term reliability (having assumed Toyota's conservative tune helps with reliability) but in my research I couldn't find data on the OTT ever causing issues and it's...
