    Edit - I'm about as much a fanboy as you are a loyalist. Silly ass comment.

    I'm only on page 2 so this has possibly already been answered. The chicken tax only applies to trucks & vans.

    What's more likely, a factory building 1000s of tacoma's every day, even adding a extra shift (so new employees), putting on the wrong similarly colored piece and is missed during post assembly inspection or putting an off road sticker on a sport, vice versa (there's pictures of that floating around). Or the chance that two dealers in two different states both replaced the front driver's side fender with the wrong fender and took pictures of it, listed it, etc. I'd go with the first one, a dealer isn't going to order a fender have it painted and then attach it and not go, wait a minute thats not right. And yes those are probably most likely damaged parts during shipping, but chances are its a factory QC error as there seems to be some of varying degrees/nature as of late.

    You seem so adamant about trolls and tacoma haters like its some big conspiracy so yes that would make you a fan boy. Your last comment is just stupid, I don't get the loyalist comment, I've owned 5 tacomas now, so guess that would make me pretty loyal to the brand/truck, which would mean your a fanboy. See there.

    Starting a thread like this with such a petty, low ratio problem citing QC is pretty loyalist and fan type behavior. Eh? See there?

    This is my second Toyota product, both have been great. I guess that makes me a fan of the manufacturer.

    The few people that have problems bitch so much you'd think these trucks were made in a third world country with sticks and rocks. It's so stupid the constant onslaught of bitching and moaning from a few people with problems who still haven't even full exhausted warranty repair or replacement. All while forgetting this is a first year redesign, conveniently.

    Jeep was doing the same damn thing with flares, it happens, human beings make mistakes, life is not perfect no matter how bad people seem to want it to be.

    Get over it.

    Exactly, the thread is a joke, a funny look what they did and dig on Toyota's self proclaimed QDR. Clearly you missed the first pages of jokes and memes, yes no one is perfect, and Im not a complainer, hell I bought a 16 even after seeing all the thread issues, I only have one, but trust Toyota will address it. You need to chill and just laugh bud, instead your first comment in a thread that somehow got your panties in a twist was about trolls and haters. Same threads in the 2nd gen section too, posting all kinds of silly shit, so as I recommended before get over it and just don't post or even read the damn thread if you can't laugh at it and feel the need to go on a witch hunt.

    I had one of the twins come into my yard with one name on one side and the other name on the other side.

    If these folks think Toyota QC sucks they should see what it's like at other plants. I've been in the industry for 15+ years and worked with various OEM's and Toyota is by far the best.

    Ford currently gets around it with vans. They ship them in with seats then strip them at port.

    They probably forgot to put the sport wheels in the front. Make it a hybrid.

    Best of both worlds street in the front, off road in the back lol

    I am legitimately fucking scared of my 2017 order arriving guys. It might shows up sitting on a rav4 chassis or something.
