Im a trucker, and I know that grade is a bitch! Your tacoma handled it well! Now I know my tacoma can handle a camper. Great video good sir! 🍻

I know this is an old video, but thought I’d ask anyway. I have slight problems on my recently-purchased 74 2.0 on starting while hot. Could be vapor lock. But I also have some issues with bogging down going uphill when it’s hot. Could that be VL too, or does that sound like a different issue?

I’ll miss the V6… shame they put an i4 in the new one. The V6 was a reliable powerhouse for what it is.

Tacos are cute 😊max towintg 4000 lbs dont wreck your truck 50 years as cdl trucker you are a fool over trucked is always better

Gary thank you for this video!

I would like to have seen a split screen on the tach.

Great video!

great video gary. very informative with use of actual data values. great for people to see what proper setups and common sense can help on decisions

Any info you can share on how to replace the gas charged door closer? I purchased the shock absorber - thinking that I need to pull the fridge out from the enclosure to replace it? Thanks for any tips.

I have AHS. My hot water heater burst as well and water leaked everywhere in my garage. They sent out a technician the same day and he replaced it with a new one. I didn't have to haggle one bit. But I have had problems with the HVAC. It was leaking refrigerant from the coil. The technician says that it needs to be replaced, but that AHS will only cover repairs to my very old coil. So Everytime it gets a New leak, I have to pay AHS a $125 service fee, plus I have to pay $350 to refill the refrigerant out of my own pocket, because my particular plan doesn't cover refrigerant. All in all, they have repaired my microwave twice, my dishwasher three times, and my refrigerator three times. The fourth time my refrigerator broke again. This last time they covered the cost of a brand new refrigerator. I was really shocked because I thought they would only maybe give me a few hundred bucks for a really cheap fridge, but they gave me enough to purchase a new midrange fridge. So I honestly don't know if there is a better home warranty company out there, but I will say that I would give AHS a B+ rating.

for my experience choice home warranty was a disaster at $1400 should of just gamble the money

Put it in s mode and that way you can hold a gear and your transmission will also be alot cooler

excellent video i appreciate your attention to detail

Select home warranty is the worst company every

Yes, I'm very disappointed with that company and will never use it again. I also think a home warranty is a rip-off.

Hi. It's been 2 years since you made this video. Just wondering what you think about the Tacoma towing now. I am a handyman that tow a ~3500 lb trailer daily. Thinking of downsizing from a 97 Ford F350. Thanks.

You're stressing the fuck out of that transmission. All that gear hunting is whats heating it up. Keep her in 3rd gear and let her scream.

You are going to ruin the truck. That transmission is screaming

I had air shocks on my last pickup, as the main purpose for that truck was for work around our property. I’ll have to get a set for my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, premium and technology pkgs and the 6’ bed

So how many days were you out of hot water?

It’s probably better to bank the money you’d pay a home warranty company and pay for our own repairs.

Any advice for me: Thinking of buying a new Highlander 4x4 and towing a coachman clipper UVW 2,670 lbs. would the Highlander struggle towing that?

Nice setup, I have a 21 SR quad cab 4x4. I have the same TPS monitor. I went for the Sumo springs (blue) and that was a huge improvement on the highway for stability, when not loaded they dont touch. I installed a Redarc integrated brake controller. I also use the scan gauge. MY TT weighs 3700lbs wet. The truck does the job very well. In 21 Toyota quit using an external trans cooler. I was a little concerned but after towing for a few years and reading the gauge nothing has heated up. On one trip i did pullover going up Cheaha mtn in North Alabama at an overlook for about 30 min (hit 227f with a mile to go) . I do not pin the transmission thermostat. My transmission hovers around 188 to 193 normal conditions. BTW I sure envy your Long Bed.

How did the truck do towing? Engine temp and transmission temps stay good?

A tune would help a lot. Wouldn't have so much gear hunting and more low end torque. Overland Torque tune improves the trucks driving so much. th-cam.com/video/DBVc3BeYXuc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=tech1302

Very good video. I am trying to decide Toyota or Ranger

Well done video which takes the coplexity of removing the entire trailing arm and dealing with a bearning press! Thank you!

Great info! Could you share info or any tips on actually replacing it?

Thank you

Very informative sir thank you. I am about to tow and may also make a video pn it. Wish i had a scangauge.

This a good video man. This is the type of shit TH-cam tries hide with their bs algorithm these days.

You nailed it!!! I believe my second time watch. I tow with your exact set up. In the same region. No issues at all. I really enjoy the compact truck for exploring especially in the cities such as Palm Springs. It certainly makes parking a breeze while bigger trucks need to pass up spaces.

Great video hope Mike didn't get any calls or mad that his number showed up on your video 🙂

Now there are many audio brands that uses speaker drivers made in China to reduce production costs. That's why you have to upgrade with a quality speaker driver

Did he get anything? Why do you think he was doing all that time? Is that your personal box or a multiple house box?

This is a ripoff also Appliance Teks Inc technician is a waste of time and not trust worthy. Dont fall in this trap like i did.

MADE IN U.S.A VS CHINA

I have a “Ford Ranger” it pulls just fine, without all the”B.S.”

A good rig, until I put my 9’ trailer, and Harley was totally 💯 useless,….

Excessive heat and foreign debris will kill an automatic transmission absolutely. Anything over 200 degrees and I would very much recommend an auxiliary cooler, along with more frequent service intervals. For this size of a camper a 1/2 ton full size would be a much better choice.

I also have a 914 however the circuit board has no rivets instead it has wires connected to the board. The wires of the board are soldered also the wires from the connector are soldered as well.

Thanks for the video,much appreciated. I have a 23 Tacoma Off Road with the long bed. I wanted to recommend that you get the “Overland Torque Tune” for your truck. It will dramatically improve both the throttle response and also the hunting for gears. I did it about 4 months ago and honestly think the truck should have come from the factory with the tune. If you would like a referral let me know. I live in the Inland Empire and the guy I used is mobile. Anyway, thanks again.

This is good to know. I was nervous to tow a sub 3500lbs weight for a trailer.

Haha Mike is getting hella prankcalls

TRD not TDR.

"TDR" my heart broke

I feel Select Warranty is a big Rip off paid the company for two year with out any claims. Had a problem with the over and I paid 75. Service fee and the Select Warranty wants to pay 106.00 and wants to pay 200.00 for labor. Screw Select Warranty . This guy is correct that's just how they handled me. Don't waste your money nor time with this company...

The whole planet has been using China for slave services for decades who you kidding dude I’ll never buy American cuz you guys talk your trash up when Japanese tech is far more superior and practical for the cause and the sheer volume of there products are more present on the globe than anyone else No one wants high quality 50w speakers anyway 😂it’s like clothes pegs made from silver.

That’s some clean work you did on the suspension and the air line. 👍

Got ripped off for 75.00 deductable from SHW. Lost 300.00 in food due to my frig going bad. the people they sent just came and took a little info took my money never saw them for 26 days. I hired another repair man who came out and fixed it So SHW denied my claim because they did not authorize repair. So I dropped them.
