The Toyota Tacoma launched in 1995 as the successor to Hilux received major updates that concentrated on improving ride quality and both handling and safety features. The original Toyota Tacoma fleet presented a square body shape before adopting a ladder-frame chassis behind the rear suspension despite offering multiple cab options such as basic and extended models and the PreRunner versions. Toyota offered the 3.4L V6 engine as their performance-leading component especially in the 2000 S-Runner trim. The second-generation Toyota Tacoma obtained its primary development from Hino Japan which included VVT-iW system and D-4S fuel injection platform that enabled the vehicle to automatically shift between natural and direct injection modes depending on current driving conditions. Automatic transmissions were available as options in PreRunner and crew cab versions but regular cab and Xtracab models could be equipped with either automatic or manual transmissions. After 2000 the automatic limited-slip differential was introduced to improve traction but brake-based traction control systems eventually replaced it for simulated mechanical LSD functionality. When the Tacoma received its redesign in 2015 manufacturers added bigger front grille elements and refreshed headlights to keep its rugged identity intact. Toyota Tacoma owners can find authentic Tacoma parts in a wide catalog for their vehicle through official Toyota sources that deliver quality-tested components which come with manufacturer backing for extra peace of mind.

Toyota Tacoma Parts Questions & Answers

  • Q: How to service and repair the Oxygen Sensor on Toyota Tacoma?
    A: The service process for the Air-Fuel Ratio Sensor starts with battery cable removal from the terminal. Send the air fuel ratio sensor to removal by unplugging the air fuel ratio sensor connector and wire harness clamp followed by use of Special Service Tool: 09224-00010. To install the air fuel ratio sensor employ Special Service Tool: 09224-00010 and apply 44 N.m (449 kgf.cm, 33 ft.lbf) torque while using a 300 mm (11.81 in.) fitted torque wrench. Alternatively, use a torque of 40 N.m (408 kgf.cm, 30 ft.lbf) with the tool. Following installation you should link the air fuel ratio sensor to the connector and the wire harness clamp. Secure the negative battery cable with 3.9 N.m of torque using a 40 kgf.cm (35 in.lbf) configuration.
  • Q: How to replace the alternator assembly on Toyota Tacoma?
    A: The first step in generator assembly replacement is disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Begin generator assembly replacement by first removing the fan and generator V belt afterward proceeding to take out the generator assembly by stripping away the terminal cap followed by unfastening the generator wire with its attached nut and disconnecting the generator connector and removing the two bolts securing the generator. Place the generator first before torquing bolt pair to 43 N.m (438 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf) and connect the generator connector after putting the generator wire onto the nut which requires a torque of 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf) until finally installing the terminal cap. The next steps involve reinstalling both the fan and generator V belt followed by cable connection to the negative terminal while applying a 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf) torque to it.
  • Q: How Can You Safely Replace an Oil Filter on Toyota Tacoma?
    A: It is essential to protect your skin from mineral oil along with wearing protective clothing and gloves while handling the oil filter to safeguard against possible dermatitis symptoms and exposure to dangerous contaminants in used engine oil. Execute the oil-draining procedure from start to finish by removing the oil filler cap followed by the oil dipstick before unscrewing the oil drain plug to collect oil into a suitable container. Use Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to remove the existing filter positioned at the left side of the cylinder block. Clean the oil filter contact area on the mounting. Apply clean engine oil to the gasket seal of the new filter. Then, use the tool to tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the seat and finally complete the seating with another 3/4 turn of torque with the tool. I will complete the process by cleaning and installing the new gasket on the oil drain plug before refilling the engine with fresh oil. After that I will reinstall the oil filler cap. Check engine leakages before starting the engine and inspect the engine oil level again. To protect the environment dispose used oil and filters at stations specified for this purpose.
