The high prices of Toyota Tacoma trucks can be attributed to several factors:

Demand: The Toyota Tacoma has a strong reputation for reliability, durability, and off-road capability, making it highly sought after in the market. The high demand for Tacoma trucks contributes to higher prices, as dealerships can charge more due to the vehicle's popularity.

Resale Value: Tacomas tend to hold their value exceptionally well compared to other trucks in the midsize segment. This strong resale value is driven by factors such as Toyota's reputation for reliability, high demand in the used market, and limited depreciation over time. As a result, even used Tacomas command relatively high prices, which can influence the pricing of new models.

Features and Options: The Toyota Tacoma offers a range of features and options, including various trim levels, engine choices, and off-road packages. These additional features and customization options can increase the overall cost of the vehicle, leading to higher prices.

Quality and Reputation: Toyota is known for producing high-quality vehicles with excellent build quality and reliability. The Tacoma's reputation for toughness and dependability contributes to its perceived value and justifies higher pricing compared to some competitors.

Supply Chain Issues: Supply chain disruptions, such as shortages of semiconductor chips or other components, can impact production volumes and lead to lower inventory levels at dealerships. When supply is constrained relative to demand, dealers may increase prices to maximize profit margins.

Brand Loyalty: Many consumers have strong brand loyalty to Toyota and specifically to the Tacoma model. This loyalty can drive up prices as buyers are willing to pay a premium for a vehicle they trust and are familiar with.

Market Positioning: Toyota positions the Tacoma as a premium offering within the midsize truck segment, emphasizing its off-road capabilities, reliability, and overall quality. This positioning allows Toyota to command higher prices compared to some competitors that may be perceived as less premium or less capable.

Overall, the combination of strong demand, high resale value, features and options, quality reputation, supply chain dynamics, brand loyalty, and market positioning all contribute to the higher prices of Toyota Tacoma trucks.

[QUOTE=kthompson;201657] The one that really was the hook in my mouth as it hit me, there is NO windows in the sides of the cab. For me that meant you either had the heater or air conditioning on unless the single rear window could have air blow in and out the same window which I doubt was reasonable to believe would happen. So no through the cab ventilation unless again running heater or air conditioning.JD 5525R. Se ... [/QUOTE]

There are many thing that we all me do that help us stay clear of problems when doing Maintenance. Here are a couple.<br>
<br>
1)Before you drain any fluid on a vehicle make sure you can open the hood to refill.<br>
<br>
2a) Before you drain an axle that has a drain and fill bolt make sure you cna reach the fill bolt and remove the fill bolt first before you drain it.<br>
<br>
2b)If filling (ie. transmission ) requires a level vehicle and unable to level consider having two clean contianers like gallon milk jugs so you can measure what comes out and then match that to only replace what you removed.<br>
<br>
2c) Make sure you have a pump to fill locations where it is not possible to pour into fill location before draining.<br>
<br>
What other tips do you have ?<br>

I have a moderately steep paved driveway and Chains are defintiely not needed with 4WD and a snow blower front mount. Pushing a plow might be different though.

Issues of this type are usually related to cavitation problems taking place in the hydraulic pump.

Cavitation can be caused by several things, either individually, or through a combination of things.

Air bubbles in the oil, caused by cavitation, will make it nearly impossible for the pump to develop any useful oil pressure. I have a good feeling that this is your problem, due to the fact that your pump seems to be working fine when cold.

Cavitation can be caused by starving the pump of fluid, which happens when you have a plugged sump screen. It can also be caused by using the incorrect hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluids containing detergents will quickly foam up, preventing the pump from building pressure. Water in the oil can cause these problems, as well.

When troubleshooting hydraulic problems, many people jump immediately to the pump as being the culprit, but this is rarely the case.

When was the last time you performed a complete fluid and filter change? Are you using the proper fluid? Have you attempted to remove and clean the sump screen.....provided this applies to your tractor?

Interesting search started with the Shibaura ended up with a Grey Kuboat L1501.

Can you update us with how your first 5 months with it are going?

Did you need any parts? Were you able to find them?

Hey the Youtubre videos can be great and you may still benefit from them as well as posts from others.

But as old school as a manual may seem it sure is a light in an otherwise dark tunnel !
