If you're a Biden voter, or just want to FEEL Toyota cars and trucks are amazing, this isn't the thread for you.
Let's proceed (Caution! This will trigger some of you!)

In November 2012, Toyota recalled 150,000 Tacomas from 2001–2004 for a rusted spare-tire carrier under the bed that could break and cause the tire to come loose. In 2008, Toyota’s infamous frame-rot fiasco on 1995–2004 Tacomas (about 800,000 trucks) was so bad the company had to buy many of them back, conduct extensive frame repairs, and/or extend frame-corrosion warranties by 15 years. The company never issued a recall for that problem.

My BIL did buy one a few years ago that had extensive frame rot covered up by a shotty dealership, certainly there are bad batches of almost any brand out there (you should see the amount of recalls you get in the mail for owning a Dodge!)
But there are also millions of absolutely bulletproof Toyotas out there that have withstood many many years of abuse that a vehicle should never have to withstand such as mine :chuckle:

Had a 2000 Tacoma TRD for 16 years that I tried my hardest to break, especially back in my younger days. (In high school we once jumped it over 80 feet, the landing caused the front of the bed to cave in the back of the cab quite a bit from the flex) definitely no frame rot in that bad boy :chuckle:

Yeah I was gunna say that most vehicles have a recall of some kind. You can find all the recalls for vehicles online. The 2020 Tacoma had 1 recall and the 2020 F150 had 9.

The Rago Fabrication Toyota Tundra Bed Channel Stiffeners solve a known problem that Tundra's acquire over time. If you have a camper shell, bed rack, or use your Tundra to off-road frequently, the rear sheet metal channels are known to crack overtime because of added stress and weight to the vehicle.

LEDs also have a tighter beam pattern than filaments.
If they shine in eyes, it’s an adjustment issue, simply adjust the housing as required by any bulb replacement other than like in kind.

I do own a 2016 Nissan Frontier, and after test driving all of the available midsized trucks in 2018. The Honda Ridgeline was "by far the most comfortable", best layed out ergonomically, and with the most current accessories.
I thought the worst driving and most gutless was the Tacoma. The Brand new Toyota's transmission was a shifting nightmare and was gutless compared to the 2016 Nissan.
(not that the Nissan changed much in the previous 10 years)
But The Tacoma was the best looking truck in the bunch.
I bought the Nissan because it was third best driving, behind the Chev ZR2
and the Honda (the base line Chevy/GMC were not close but ahead of the Toyota). The New Ford Ranger was a tie for third.
These are opinions and are totally subjective.
And I am not saying the Tacoma is bad vehicle, and if the Leaf Springs are the only things to worry about? They would still be a very good truck.
Honestly, what is beyond belief, is that people pay $40k + for any of these trucks, when two years later you can get them with low miles for 1/2 that much. Except the Toyota which was an easy 10K more.
I personally do not think they are worth 10K more, but that is the market, and people are paying it.
None of the above are worth 40K +

Speaking of Ridgeline, I still laugh when I read this and post to all the Toyota Fanboyz who can't stop talking about what an amazing vehicle Toyota makes:
If this road could bring the TRD Off-Road package and its Bilstein monotube shocks to its knees, what could this possibly mean for the Ridgeline, a truck many are quick to write off as a poseur, a crossover masquerading in truck's clothing?
We rolled under the Ridgeline for a look and to our surprise the right rear shock looked ... reasonably OK. There was no sign of overheating of any kind, no residue of an oily explosion, and the rubber dust boot was fully intact. A small damp patch of oil indicated it had leaked a little bit, but it still appeared to be functional. As for the left rear, it looked 100 percent fine.
Against all expectations, it seemed the Ridgeline had just kneed the Tacoma TRD Off-Road package in the groin.

I had a 1990 for about ten years, sold it for what I paid for it. Only break down was a snapped torsion bar, which was a $300 fix IIRC. I went over a huge RR crossing in S. Seattle and - my fault - the too loose timing belt slipped a notch or too. It still ran. Ran rough. But I got home and was able to repair. It was one of the most solid and dependable vehicles I have ever owned, and I would buy another in a heartbeat.
Sorry, OP, that you have such extreme butthurt over your experiences, but it is hardly indicative of the brand, no matter the number of childish allusions you want to make about people who've had good experiences.

Nearly a million miles for me on Toyota's and a lot of the miles have been hard. Replaced a set of heads on a 3.0, a clutch on another, and and a few cv axles from torn boots is about it for issues other than suspension parts from abuse. I'd consider the quality control at the top end. Guess I must be one of the "Fanboyz" you're referring to since they've been dependable for me?

It drove fine but the suspension sucks and was a harsh ride. Had it in the shop for a couple little warranty issues but no big deal it happens with all of them. Everyone talks them up like they are the second coming of Christ but I gotta be honest, even though it had every option except a sun roof you could get it was probably the most basic no frills vehicle I've owned in a long time. I sometimes wonder if that's part of Toyota's plan though, keep them more basic with less options available and it is just that much less sh1t to go wrong down the road.
I will say, the one thing I do miss about my Tacoma was when it came to up in the woods driving being that they are a mid size sure has its advantages so I do miss the smaller size compared to my new full size truck. Otherwise there is nothing I miss about it.
Post by: acrocker on March 12, 2021, 03:20:07 PM
I agree, none of the new trucks out there are worth what they are being sold for, but the Tacomas are solid and I would (will) buy another in a heartbeat. Just lightly used and much cheaper than new...

I’ve had 4 Toyota’s so far. A 4Runner that I rolled in my early 20s. Great vehicle before that. A 2002 Tacoma that I still have. 212k on it. An 07 sequoia with 165k on it, wife’s daily driver. Lastly a 2013 tundra that I’ve got 110k on. All great vehicles. Little to no problems, mostly basic maint. I’d stand by Toyota’s any day and put them next to any other brand as far as reliability goes. Great vehicles
I put them above any other vehicle brand!!!

I bought a 98 Taco with 74K miles and sold it at 242K miles. It was 100% stock. No abuse by original owner or myself. I serviced it religiously. Quite the little mountain goat. But it had it's issues. Automatic tranny went out (completely) at just over 100K. This was my first Toyota and I was surprised this happened. Starter went out so she got a ride home on a hook. U-joints and carrier bearing. Drivers seat started to come undone. Top end engine gaskets started leaking oil. The way the oil (3.4) from the oil filter pissed down the side of the engine onto the front cross member was a poor design. Front axle inner bearings. A/C compressor went out at 200K? And that engine compartment was a real pain to turn wrenches in by a guy with big hands!!

You’re the only honest one here.
3.0 and 3.4 ate head gaskets for lunch, but that’s a sign of quality.
Tranny dead at 100? Sign of quality!
A load of firewood and ride on the RUSTY frame rails? Sign of quality!
Videos on YouTube where somebody makes a parts kit to keep your bed from cracking? Sign of quality!

I thought it was dripping with it. I thought your rig was pretty nice, although I'd prefer another color.

Pretty sure his post was sarcasmI have an 08 2nd gen that I drive like a rzr in the woods more often than on the pavement it’s the family adventure rig I have Replaced cv, brakes, tires , springs , and u joints all to my being hard on it. We are over 200k wouldn’t be afraid to drive it to florida tomorrow or anywhere for that matter . I have leveling kit and some different leafs, and fox shocks , but stock other wise .it’s not like my old Toyota as far as size goes but it gets me into places a lot of trucks won’t go .I have always had other vehicles so never worried about breaking it .
Must suck having something so unreliable. Maybe posting a manifesto would make you feel better about your poor decisions.
:chuckle:
Not unreliable at all little fella .hate all ya want still won’t change the fact they are well built but with any brand there is always something people will complain about.
Which sounds like you like whining
Yup I may have missed that

ThisThese threads are new for me. I've never seen someone's disdain for a vehicle manufacturer spread over multiple threads on an unrelated to anything Toyota hunting forum like this before.
I'm thinking that these toyota bashing posts and threads are having the opposite effect of their intent.

Funny, I was just thinking that. I read an article that they sold for $3,995 and still fetch $1,000 if you can find one. So, the cost for 26 or so years of blissful ownership was only $3,000 - not too shabby!
I'm not sure if they have ball joints though, seemed mostly stamped steel parts loosely fit together.
