Build Quality of Mexico vs US Tacomas

The truck is a week old so little tire wear. Had it at discount yesterday and even they said its defective with that much weight. They got it balanced with 6oz too but said I would still feel it. They were right.

 

Open a warranty claim with Dunlop or whoever is the OEM provider. If you got it done at Discount, ask them to call and file a claim. You get a new tire if the claim is valid (I don't see why it wouldn't be). If the OEM approves of the claim, I'd push for replacement of all 5 tires. Pay for the difference if upgrading to a better tire .

 

the weather stripping goes on the doors it helps the windows on the doors to prevent water from coming inside the cab

 

My DCLB V6 Sport is being built in Texas

 

All this time I thought it prevented proper punctuation and unstructured sentences. Who'd have thought it kept water out?

 

I didn't say ALL double cabs were coming from Mexico!

 

And I didn't say that's what you said

 

No problem. Does your VIN start with a 5?

 

Apparently all Canadian 2016 models are being built in the US

should have a plant here

 

It does. I guess I don't care either way where it is built. As long as it's a Tacoma when I drive it off the lot.

 

The Baja Plant has won the best plant in the Americas by JD Power in 2008. I know that was a while ago but it definitely shows that it's definitely state of the art and not some redneck chop shop like some of us are picturing.

I saw a documentary on TV a few years ago that showed the Dodge Hemi engine plant in Mexico and it looked very state of the art.

 

Mine was!

Although being in Texas won't most of the workers on an assembly line be of Mexican decent anyways?

 

Not if the Donald has his way.

 

Well, they just tried to road force balance it and were not able to get it within specs so it turns out the tire was defective. New one doesn't arrive until Friday but I don't have any hwy trips before then. Dealer came through. If you've got an OR on the way check to see how much weight is on there for balancing.

 

Probably be bigger problems if that ever comes to fruition.

 

I prefer Mexican tacos.
