About 2007 Toyota Tacoma Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Tacoma tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway.

Commonly Asked Toyota Tacoma Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Toyota Tacoma battery hold a charge? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Tacoma’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Tacoma’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Tacoma, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

Oil Changes for 2007 Toyota Tacoma

Toyota recommends having your 2007 Toyota Tacoma’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Your Tacoma may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2007 Toyota Tacoma motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Tacoma oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Tacoma’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Tacoma's engine.

2007 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Tacoma oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Tacoma oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Tacoma spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

2007 Toyota Tacoma Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Tacoma. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2007 Toyota Tacoma. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Tacoma. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Tacoma. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Tacoma: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2007 Toyota Tacoma

  • What happens if my Toyota Tacoma spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Tacoma? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Tacoma. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Tacoma need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2007 Toyota Tacoma

During the first few years you had your 2007 Toyota Tacoma, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Tacoma bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Toyota Tacoma in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2007 Tacoma Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Tacoma bouncing excessively?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Tacoma might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Tacoma tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Tacoma's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

A/C Service for Your 2007 Toyota Tacoma

Our technicians will work to solve your 2007 Toyota Tacoma A/C problems to the best of their ability. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2007 Toyota Tacoma A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2007 Toyota Tacoma A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2007 Toyota Tacoma A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Tacoma A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Tacoma’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my Tacoma’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  Damaged or worn components in your Tacoma’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2007 Toyota Tacoma

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Toyota Tacoma transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Tacoma transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Tacoma’s not even driveable. Our technicians know how to service your 2007 Tacoma up to Toyota-recommended standards. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2007 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Questions & Answers

  • Does my Tacoma's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Caring for your Toyota Tacoma’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Toyota Tacoma leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Tacoma transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Tacoma with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Tacoma to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
