    Haven't had any problems with CS but then again I have at least 5 dealerships to choose from in a 25 mile radius.

    I love my gen 3. The only things I wish it had are things the previous generations also did not have: V8 or diesel option, sliding rear window (jealous of you tundra guys there), better wheel well clearance to fit larger tires without trimming/BFH.

    I got it. Peace out. My attempt at humor missed the mark as well. No offense meant.

    No pissing contest, just clarifying that almost every vehicle today is mass produced including the Tacoma :)

    This is was an easy fix, S hook from my tool bin, makes it easy to see or know where to put it and velcro. No sense in drowning in a cup of tea lolo!

    My only real problem is driveline vibrations, but it's significant enough to make me wish I didn't buy this truck. Honestly though, I wouldn't know which other truck to get.

    As crazy as it sounds, I'd probably still choose my vibrating taco over the other options like Colorado or Frontier

    I bought a TRD Off Road back in November 2015. I have right at 13k miles on it now. Runs great. I'm getting a combined MPG of about 19-20 mpg every tank. Average 23-24 mpg on highway trips. Overall it's great. Plenty of room in the double cab. Only thing I don't love obviously is the lack of power compared to other full size trucks (Tundra, F-150, etc). But I don't really have a need for a full size truck so for me the 2016 Tacoma has been and done everything I need it too. I'm a former Jeep guy and I find the off road package to be pretty freakin sweet myself.

    I wish mine did not have a sliding window. All they are good for is covering the interior of your truck with dust and debris. Mine stays closed.

    a memebr here wrote a VERY long response to you. Deleted it few minutes ago.

    I won't mention the name. But essentially trans issue + vibration issue. He was polite with dealer nothing happened. He called case manager, who never called him back. He threatened with lawyer then case manager supervisor got back to him and told him to take it back to dealer. Essentially he is back at square one.

    On club lexus the RCF has bad fuel pump. People getting serious run around from Toyota corporate and case managers . Same with the new 8 speed problem in the LC/lx.

    So whether you paid 20k or 90k doesn't T really matter as of recent memory.

    So what exactly does the "other" choice mean that five people voted? You already have love, pretty happy, sorta wish I bought something else and hate the truck, what's left?

    Maybe indifferent about the truck, it's an appliance that was given to to you and care less one way or another for $30-40k?

    Talking about a world wide truck, but even out of 1000, 30 or 40 something might be missed. And 1000 or 10000 to me is mass production, that is a Lotta 35k machines.
