Weird noise when accelerating

Hello , i have a 2021 tacoma V6 , bought it brand new , i put 16,000 miles on it . But i notice since 1000 miles that , sometimes going uphill or when accelerating , when the truck it about to upshift i hear a grrr or ticking or clicking noise coming from the engine and at the same time my pedal vibrates a little , its only for 1 second or 2 and then stops when it finds a gear, specially when the truck its hunting for gears , does anyone feel something similar ? Its that a Tacoma thing ?

 

Nothing like that in my 2016. With it being so new, I’d report to dealer. Even if they can’t find it, a paper trail is often useful for warranty claims.

 

Nothing like it either in my 2020. Trucks got 18k and change....been totally vibration free so far.

 

From the users manual:



You can test this by throwing in a higher octane gas and seeing if the sound goes away or becomes less prominent.

 

Ok , thanks for the reply

 

Wow , yeah ,thats exactly what i feel , ill test that. I mean idk why it happend since 1000 miles. And its not all the time its just when its about to change a gear going uphill. Hahahaha this Tacos are crazy.

 

What page is it ???

 

Mine used to do that off the lot new but has not since I switched to 91 the next tank

 

What octane fuel are you using? If 87 or 89 try some 93 as thats what I have always used and I think the truck runs better on it. Some will say otherwise but its all up to you.

 

Did higher octane fix the noise. I’m having the same noise when accelerating

 

That is the way I feel. I run Shell 93. Most here think it is a waste of money. If you can afford it, try it for 2 tank fulls.

 

oh, it certainly works. just have to balance the cost vs benefits. I see. 1-2 mpg increase over 87 as well
