Placed my tie down straps and tow strap in the storage bins.


:thumbs:

BTW....I checked with the dealer and Premieum fuel is not for the Taco....Only the V6 F-J Crusier.


Just so you know...

:cheers:


Unless they changed it, read the manual... They have the same V6 engine, so if the FJ "needs" it, yours should too...

It'll run on 87, but with that 10:1 compression ratio, it'll be much happier on premium... Still sure the manual will say 91, though...

If I'm wrong, though, so much the better! :thumbs:

Unless you've got the 4 banger...

From the Tacoma Owner's manual:

Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use
of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result
in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

When I was looking at those trucks the manual said 91 only... Glad they updated everything :thumbs:

That was a few years ago, though :)
