Tacoma engine?

[bp fick]

I'm curious as to where your new Tacoma was assembled. I toured the plant in San Antonio, but was also informed that some are built in Mexico.

Texas builds them for the US market, safety, EPA etc.

Re: Tacoma in the garage

BP, I'm afraid we buy autos with little concern for bling, bling wheels.. Or looks in general. This fall we will purchase another set of wheels that we'll put snows on. We do that for all our vehicles.

Nice find, but boy oh boy does that thing scream for some dress up wheels. LOL

Drop me a private message if you want some details. Again, looks like you found a nice truck. Congrats.

Yeah, in MI they use a lot of salt on the roads. I would use your steel wheels for snows, and
aluminum cast wheels for the other months. Salt is really bad on Al, but Al is much lighter and
gives a better ride.

Most Toyota trucks now seem to have cast Al wheels.

Re: Tacoma in the garage

Many of our friends with aluminum wheels, find stress cranks in them after they hit higher mileages and need to replace them. Our SR has steel wheels. In fact all our autos have steel wheels.

Nothing wring with steel wheels. Truck looks GREAT and that sure looks like a sweet dog! Can't go wrong with a Toyota.

Thanks!! Today I ordered a topper, trailer wiring harness and hitch for it. Sorry to say I've only got about 10 miles on it to date. :-(
