2023 Toyota Tacoma Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Tacoma tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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!

Next, consider your driving style. 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Tacoma.

Questions About 2023 Toyota Tacoma Tires

  • Why check Toyota tire inflation? Even a tiny decrease in tire pressure could impact your safety and fuel economy. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan.
  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota Tacoma tires? The numbers on your tire sidewall give you information about tire speed rating, traction, treadwear, tire size, and load carrying capacity. Chat with a tire technician to learn how to read the numbers on your Toyota tires!
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tacoma tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tacoma tires.

Brake Repair for Your 2023 Toyota Tacoma

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Toyota  Tacoma. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best.

Questions About Your Toyota Tacoma Brakes

Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the average lifespan of Tacoma brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Tacoma brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Is it bad if my Tacoma is leaking brake fluid when off? Your Tacoma brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.

Repairing Your Toyota Tacoma Drivetrain

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2023 Toyota Tacoma

  • What are signs my Toyota drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Toyota Tacoma, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Tacoma? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Tacoma’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Tacoma? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Tacoma, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Wheel Alignment

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Toyota Tacoma’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Toyota intended. When you bring in your 2023 Toyota Tacoma, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Toyota.

Toyota Tacoma Alignment Questions

  • How can I avoid knocking my Toyota Tacoma out of alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your Tacoma need a wheel alignment?  Check your Tacoma owner's manual for Toyota's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Does getting new Tacoma tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Tacoma, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Engine Repair

When your Toyota Tacoma engine needs repairs, our technicians will make sure you understand what’s going on before they start working on your engine. We never do any work without your sign-off.

We want to give you all the details you need to make an informed decision about your engine repairs. Choose Firestone Complete Auto Care for Toyota Tacoma engine repairs and you can feel confident knowing that we use Toyota-approved parts and components like the timing belt, valve guide seal, fuses, or other parts.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my Tacoma turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Tacoma firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Toyota Tacoma engine noises bad?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Tacoma engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Toyota Tacoma engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Tire Repair for Your 2023 Toyota Tacoma

If your 2023 Toyota Tacoma is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. In some cases, a tire doesn’t have to be replaced – it can be plugged and patched with a simple repair. Depending on the damage, though, a repair might not be the right move. Our technicians can determine which option is best for your situation. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.

If we determine that your 2023 Toyota Tacoma tire can be safely repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) fill the puncture to keep the moisture out, and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Frequently Asked Toyota Tacoma Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your Tacoma until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • Why do my Tacoma tires keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Tacoma tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.

Commonly Asked Toyota Tacoma Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Tacoma battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • How long do car batteries last?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Tacoma’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Tacoma car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Oil Changes

Your 2023 Tacoma’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. No matter the mileage, your Tacoma may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Tacoma. Consult Toyota's recommendations to select the right  2023 Tacoma oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Tacoma's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Let the experts take care of your Tacoma’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Tacoma oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Tacoma oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota Tacoma oil at home?  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 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  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.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Tune-Up & Engine Service

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Tacoma’s engine. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Tacoma engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Tacoma. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. 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. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

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

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2023 Toyota Tacoma

  • What happens if my Toyota Tacoma spark plugs fail? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Tacoma? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Tacoma fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2023 Toyota Tacoma

When you first drove your 2023 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 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2023 Toyota Tacoma, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Tacoma to have a bouncy ride?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Tacoma to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Tacoma to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

A/C Service for Your 2023 Toyota Tacoma

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2023 Toyota Tacoma A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2023 Toyota Tacoma A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2023 Toyota Tacoma, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

2023 Toyota Tacoma A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Tacoma A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Tacoma’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Tacoma’s A/C to work?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Tacoma’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Service

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Tacoma’s performance. 2023 Toyota Tacoma transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Toyota Tacoma transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Tacoma at all. Our technicians are trained to service 2023  Toyota Tacoma transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. If you think there’s something wrong with your Tacoma’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Questions & Answers

  • How often does my Tacoma transmission fluid need to be checked?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2023 Tacoma’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • 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 still drive my Toyota Tacoma if it has 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.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Inspections

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. The technician will begin by testing your Toyota Tacoma's battery to find out how much charge is remaining on it. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Toyota Tacoma's lights, windshield wipers, filters, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma if you suspect there may be a bigger problem. A Complete Vehicle Inspection includes everything in a Courtesy Check, plus an examination (by hand!) of your steering, suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. This inspection is aimed at informing you of any major problems that could require preventative maintenance.

Depending on your location, your local Firestone Complete Auto Care may be able to perform state-mandated inspections or safety tests on your vehicle. Inspections are performed on a state-by-state basis and requirements vary.

Common 2023 Toyota Tacoma Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • How do I know if my Toyota Tacoma needs a check-up? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver. Your Toyota Tacoma could benefit from a Courtesy Check if it has any illuminated dashboard lights, you hear weird noises coming from any part, the engine doesn't start sometimes, or your vehicle pulls to one side.
  • Can you fix my 2023 Toyota Tacoma so it will pass a state inspection test? Did your vehicle fail a recent state inspection test? We can help. Come in for a checkup and we’ll diagnose the issue.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota Tacoma?  You should bring your Toyota Tacoma in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem. A new dashboard light might come on, you may hear strange sounds under the hood, or your steering might feel off. A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

Radiator Service & Repair for 2023 Toyota Tacoma

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2023 Toyota Tacoma is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.

We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’ll take excellent care of your 2023 Toyota Tacoma at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Radiator Q&A

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Tacoma to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Tacoma engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What can cause a Tacoma radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Tacoma. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
