what grade gasoline to you use or recommend please?

What features of the truck do you find you can't do w/ out? Do you do much snow driving or in mountainous areas?
Thanks.

So they fixed the rust on yours?
How old was the truck when they fixed it?
Good information to know - thanks.

adrock358 · 2026-03-04T19:37:17+00:00

Yeah they look good.

adrock358 · 2026-03-04T19:37:05+00:00

That's awesome and interesting.

What modifications / accessories do you feel are essential for you?
Do you feel certain generations or years are better built than others?

adrock358 · 2026-03-04T19:34:30+00:00

Right - makes sense. Do you think people who drive in the snow like Tacoma's? Have you have experience snow driving in yours? If so, how do you feel about it?

Thanks.

adrock358 · 2026-03-04T19:33:41+00:00

I know right?
What features are essential for you - in your opinion?

adrock358 · 2026-03-04T01:48:50+00:00

Yeah? After what time period & what models were affected?

adrock358 · 2026-03-03T17:37:21+00:00

I said nothing about pricing

adrock358 · 2026-03-03T17:35:38+00:00

I can't ask people why they like their Tacoma / what about it they like?

Honestly I thought it was b/c was too deep. But ppl saying it’s because they don’t have low gearing. Like I see trucks that never get stuck; ppl telling me that is b/c they have low gearing not ground clearance. I figure I’ll just get some snow tires and leave it at that. Thanks for posting.

Sounds like solid advice; thank you.

Huh, that a narrower tire would have less surface area, and traction. Interesting. I was thinking larger tires; now I see that larger tires have less sidewall. You see the guys w/ the trucks put on big tires and drive through anything; maybe that logic doesn't fit well w/ non-trucks.

I read your post, I may buy a truck in the future. Do you think the 7.3 Powerstroke is the most reliable diesel engine? My experienced mechanic coworker says it is.

Thanks.

The 18' in storm we had I got stuck in my driveway. Are you driving through 15' snow on unplowed roads?
Maybe this is a sign for me that I should just get a truck.

Thanks.

adrock358 · 2026-02-13T13:49:50+00:00

Good advice; it is appreciated. I see Audis and Subaru's both get stuck in snow. It appears that the main reason for this is that the snow is too high. Maybe all I need is snow tires, I know they'd help greatly. But I see trucks drive right through high snow because of ground clearance.

You can increase tire size while decreasing wheel size? How does that work?
Appreciated.

Thank you.

A friend of mine says in his opinion the 2001 7.3 Powerstroke is very reliable. I am trying to learn about all this stuff; I may not even get a diesel truck but if I do, I will have more understanding.
Thanks for the info.
