Don't buy a 2016 or 2017 Tacoma. Wait until 2018.

Stats are stats, if you disagree then post your rebuttal. But I am not the original poster of these stats.

 

I bought the new totally redesigned F150 in 1997. It was the "Mustang with the bed" version. It was actually the best Ford I ever owned and I have owned a lot. Sold it with 190k and all I ever did was replace plugs at 100.

 

Saw your Let's Go MOUNTAINEERS!

Alumni, class 2014.

 

My 2016 has no issues. Runs great

 

Will be very interesting to see how they package this truck. Especially the drive train...

Double cab - long bed 4x4 with the 2.3L manual maybe, with black leather and tech package ....??

 

It will be a mini van with the bed cut out. The Bronco will be a window van. That way they don't hurt their precious F150 sales. They dumped the Ranger to boost the F150 they won't go backwards now. They need the Ranger/Bronco to get higher mileage so they can still sell big trucks and vans. So don't expect much truck in the new Ranger/Bronco. It will be just like the Tacoma a watered down version of a former self with a higher tech package and pretty lipstick. It's the face of the future, get use to it.

 

That was a great truck. Simple and strong.

 

The Ranger will compete with a Dressed out Tacoma. It will likely have the 2.7 Ecoboost mated to a multi-speed automatic. They will sell out very quickly.

 

See the previous European version.

I wouldn't be shocked if they call it the F100 Ranger. That wouldn't take away from the F series sales numbers and it would boost the mpg for the series as well.

It won't be a New truck. It's already sold worldwide and kicks down under.

Well there goes buying a '17 TRD Pro or Ford Raptor, but wait someone needs to do real world testing besides the TFL guys...

 

Right on! '07 here.

 

I totally agree that they don't want to hurt their sales and all the R & D from F150, but thats where the genius marketers and egineers come into play. And let's face it - Ford has some of the best.
You don't make any product #1 for 40 years by sheer quality alone.
I think it's going to be a very very serious contender for Taco... they will not come to market with average shit - they may not come to market at all. If and when they come, they could do something crazy and revolutionary (ie -Ecoboost for full size, ie high strength aluminum) and come to the market with say a hybrid drivetrain, and or a diesel option.
They have tech across their line to steal from.

 

I guess you are one of the lucky ones.
I have purchase my new tacoma in April 2016 out of the 5 months I have owned my car. Over 5 months was in the dealership. Window Noise recall, Paint defect. Took me 3 months to get that taken care of with toyota. and the worst one of all. I was driving with my 3 year old going 45 mph when the engine died on me! restarted after 10 minutes drove 3 blocks! While the car only had 4,300 miles. HAHA owned my car for 4 months . Thats the 3rd recall I had on my truck for which I choose to pay 35K. Got such a fluff answer from the dealer. Had the car towed to the dealership. I had traded in my 2004 Audi A4 and that had way less problems. I think I had the unlocked car in the world.

 

Definatley Lucky Bought my 5 months ago one month the truck was in service 1. Paint Defect 2. Window noise defect. 3. Sensor Defect ( While driving with my 3 year old 45mph the engine shut off ) Happened 4 times after 10 minutes the car started again drove 2 blocks and died!
I have the worst luck. I submitted so many claims with Toyota. I have been dreaming 5 years about this truck finally got it " I guess not all dreams come true"

 

WTF??

 

Most are Annoying I agree. When I bought my truck 5 months ago and up tot today has been in service over a month, Filed complaints with toyota.
1. Windshield recall on the noise.
2. Pain defect ( Rust on my roof after 3 weeks )
3. While Driving with my son (3Y) going 45 mph the engine shuts off ( Thats a huge safety concern for me and my son.)

I wanted this car for the past 5 years. I guess I got the unlucky model!
Submitted so many claims with the dealership and Toyota corporate. My VIN# Rap sheet is so long! I have been in and out of the dealer every 3 weeks.

 

Yes they did fix it. I still have a safety concern in the back of my head. I love toyota as a car this one is just not one of their best.
They fixed it switched out sensors. But still choosing to spend 35K and a truck and while having 4,500 miles on my truck and having the engine die out on my while driving with my son is a downer.
Not cool TOYOTA!

 

At the rate this truck had ben going will be trading in soon.

is everyone going at me because of the Gender: Female.

I thought the subject of this was 2016 Tacoma? Whats the deal here about all this candy corn and unicorns!
come on guys!
