The production of the Toyota Tacoma has started since 1995 in the U.S. Its first generation was classified as a compact pickup truck, and the second as midsize. Tacoma was recognized as the Motor Trend Magazine s truck of the Year during 2005. And in 2009, Tacoma, with its active head restraints, was given IIHS's Top Safety Pick award. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, multiple Toyota Tacomas have been observed in use by special forces units of the U.S. Army. Typically, they have been Double Cab models, with SR5 and TRD packages.
To change the oil in a Toyota Tacoma, you will need to locate the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle and remove it using a wrench. Once the old oil has drained out, you can remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one. Finally, refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil specified in the owner's manual, and ensure the oil level is correct using the dipstick.
To replace a broken taillight on a Toyota Tacoma, first, locate the screws or fasteners that secure the taillight assembly to the vehicle's body. Remove these screws or fasteners using a suitable tool. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector by gently pressing the release tab and pulling it away. Then, remove the old taillight assembly and install the new one by reversing the steps. Ensure all connections are secure before testing the taillights.
A Toyota Tacoma typically uses a long-life ethylene glycol-based coolant that is specifically formulated for aluminum engines. It is important to use the correct coolant type to maintain the engine's performance and prevent corrosion or damage. Refer to the owner's manual or a Toyota Tacoma automotive repair manual for the specific coolant specifications and proper mixing ratios.
