2016 Tacoma would you purchase again

I would have been all over a DCLB OR with a manual tranny. Very shortsighted for Toyota to omit that from US offerings.

 

No I'd buy a crew cab tundra.

 

I have CM 4x4,but would not even think about taking it to some of the places I have taken the 85 the 06 and 12 to. Its just too big,but is more capable in other ways.

 

I'd like to know what smitty99 does for a living. I'm retired so I spend an hour or so a day during the week reading here but it seems every time I look at the forum he's made a comment. If I'd spent as much time online when I was working I'd have had my butt fired.

 

I'd absolutely buy my truck again.
As much as the tacoma is a great fit to my wants/needs, if ford re-released the FX4 Level II Ranger for a similar price, it would be a tough decision.

 

Yep, the next one I buy (when the next gen comes out) I will get an auto most likely. I can still deal with a manual but in another 10 years, I think I will want an auto.

 

Off topic I know but what was the level II,never heard of that

 

Edit, just looked up the info for accuracy sake:

FX4 LEVEL II
4.0L SOHC V6 engine
• Torsen® limited-slip rear axle
• Black honeycomb-mesh grille insert with body-color grille surround
• Silver-tone front tow hooks
• Black rear tow hook
• 15" Alcoa® forged-aluminum wheels
BFGoodrich® T/A KO 31" x 10.5" all-terrain RWL tires
• 3 skid plates
• Bilstein® shocks
• Front cloth sport bucket seats
• Chromed shifter on manual transmission
• AM/FM stereo/cassette/single-CD player with MP3 capability
• Black vinyl slush-type floor mats

 

Ok Thanks

 

If you run your own company/consulting firm you can do what you want!

 

I bought the Coma because I needed something that would fit in my garage, Also, I wanted an off road capable yet small truck for driving trails in the forest when hunting. I need to get into tight spots. The Coma was the perfect setup for this. Except for the transmission, I like the truck. With that said, there's things that should have been, could have been, but aren't. Powered USB, drivers grab handle, more drivers seat adjustability, 110V power outlet in the cab, a hood that opens a bit further, better quality speakers, passenger side floor mat retainers, LED lights, to name some. I like the GoPro mount but would give it up for some of the aforementioned.

Smitty, I use to live at 68th and Camelback.

 

If Toyota had some development money to spend on their vehicles they would do so. But they don't have that money. They had to pay a whopping $1Billion dollars for unintended acceleration, retrofit about a million vehicles with carpet hooks. On top of that Toyota has replaced about 500,000 frames on Tacomas and Tundras to the tune of $15000 each, also did the buyback on Gen 1 Tacomas.

On top of those financial buttkickings, Toyota suffered the massive 9.3 earthquake that wrecked a lot of their R&D facilities in Japan. So it's not a surprise Toyota hasn't developed some better engines for the Tacoma and Tundra. They haven't developed a better engine for any other model line either. They still have the 2.0l, 2.7l, the 3.5l, the 4.6l, the 4.0l, the 5.7l all of which have been around for a long time. Lexus hasn't had upgraded engines for about 10 years, they still use the 3.5l, the 4.6l, the 5.7l. Toyota is in a bad cycle right now.

 

Sounds plausible not sure I'm buying that theory however. But well constructed considerations either way!

 

Yeh and gm had to be bailed out of bankruptcy by all of us in the USA just so they could develope some new canyon and colorado to right

 

We know damn well you read my post and just have no reasonable rebuttal. Damn it feels good to be right.

 

Yeh give it to him smtty he knows toyota will always be a better truck than gm ever willbe now in the past and in the future

 

Dream on looser. I have addressed all your b/s concerns before i'm not doing it again with you
I do have a life and so far i'm wining in it!

Have a nice sunday after noon or dont' they give you a day of on your marketing bashingg job??

Enjoy!
Cheers

 

I already told you that l'm 100% sure i will go away.
Just Not today
Besides, i know you would miss me

Hope that helps
Cheers!

 

You're just not winning any spelling bees

 

Wow this thread derailed! Might as well chime in too. It seems like Smitty99 has had every single issue on his truck. I would guess that of those who have had problems, most of use maybe had one or two. I would be pissed if I loved my old Tacoma and every time I droves new one something was going wrong. After my Jeep Grand Cherokee I wanted a new and reliable car! If my Taco behaved like that I would be going insane, and you bet I would be complaining about it on Jeepforum.
