2023 TOYOTA TACOMA WORTH BUYING TRD PACKAGE

[Tenkara]

Toyota has basically mailed it in in the light truck market.
They are settling for fourth place.
Fanboys will still buy them but unless you need a car that size or are tumescent over the styling (most buyers), there are much better options.
My F150 with twice the power and capability has 138k with none of the issues I had to fix on my TeRD.

Only 138K? I'm about to hit 400K in one of my TeRDs and have only fixed a ball joint and a couple cv axles that I put branches through. #1Fanboy here

Impressive to do that all on OE parts.
Toyota is known for flat leaf springs, frame failure from rust and generally cheap parts and engineering.
Just one ball joint and CVs….

I see you’re still on here spreading you delusional BS about Toyotas. Here’s something for you to chew on.

Just missing the TRAXXAS decal!
Where are the orange fogs and snorkel for the Walmart parking lot?
You sure that's a real Toyota?
You better let Toyota Corporate know about the fact that flat leaf springs, frame rust and other basic quality and design issues don't require a recall, because that's what they did.
You Toyota fanboys are so much smarter than Toyota lawyers when it comes to their cars....

Give it a rest already.

Really, who poses their car on a pullout to take pictures to post on the internet?

That's a special kind of fanboy worship...

Here’s another side of the road pullout picture for you. I’ll admit it, and you’re right that I’m a fan of trucks that keep on going day after day and year after year.

And another side of the road pullout photo.

To the OP, don’t buy a Toyota if your not looking for truck that is reliable, well built and has a high resale value.

I promised Toyota NA when they completely, and by their own admission, screwed me on the leaf spring issue, that I would make sure everyone would hear about how pathetic their vehicles are.

To an informed consumer, it seems I might be right...https://www.aboutlawsuits.com/toyota-rust-settlement-114035/

Ya know
Ive never met someone that owned or seen a rusted out framed Toyota truck
I must be not paying enough attention

The new Toyota owners don't want to fix their stuff. They're paying $60k for a new truck because it reportedly breaks less often. When it breaks, they feel betrayed and trade it in at the stealership for something more reliable with better gas mileage. 
I drive literally one of the worst engines known to man. But since it's so bad, the whole rig cost $6k for a 300hp 4x4. The difference being that when it breaks, I will fix it myself and avoid thousands in labour costs. Resale value? Nope. Just a giant wad of cash in up front savings. Keep your crawl control

well when you drive on salted roads for 100,000 miles and never wash it and with fat chicks riding in the bed bad things happen you should have bought a 1 Ton

......or apparently an F150.

If you're driving in the hills a lot, and beating on a vehicle you can't beat a Tacoma.  They will take more abuse than any other truck you can find. if you want a bigger back seat or be able to pull a camper there are better options.  Proud fanboy here.

Thats why Loggers, Oil drillers, Ranchers use them?

There are A LOT of loggers running Toyotas now.

Where?
Go up to B.C. All Fords, Alberta- Dodge and Chevrolets, Montana ,Wyoming etc All three.
No operations or fleets are running Tacoma's.
I know that they are good vehicles, just not full size trucks.

Toyota had some terrible rust issues for a long time. Body and frames. No sugar coating, it was BAD.

Lots of good little motors with low power, good 4WD, etc. I love my Toyotas but they aren't magic.
