Abnormal car noises are never fun to deal with. A handful of different possibilities can cause a 2018 Toyota Tacoma’s engine to make a ticking noise. The most likely cause? Low oil pressure.
Luckily, this is usually solved with a simple
oil change
. If that doesn’t do the trick, a failing
fuel pump
or clogged
fuel injectors
are two potential causes.
That’s not guaranteed, though, so it’s always wisest to take your truck to a mechanic to diagnose the issue for sure. Staying on top of repairs is a good way to
save on car-related expenses
.
