    :confused: If you're upset with your Taco, why don't you just trade it or sell it and be done with the banter on a public forum? Banter 'ain't gonna fix anything - but taking action that is inline with your beliefs does.

    It would probably improve if you only included 3rd gen owners. A lot of the shit that I see being thrown around at the 3rd gen is coming from 1st and 2nd gen owners. :notsure:

    Never seen so much criticism of a vehicle to the tune of one person posting 10k negative posts either, but there's a first for everything i guess :/

    Nothing but problems? SO you haven't driven it anywhere, successfully?

    The question and possible ansewrs are leading to your desired goal of the sample based on your bias. This is common sample bias. You aren't including anyone in your poll who doesn't think there are 'so many problems' with the truck.

    It's seemingly a POS anyway according to CR. I agree with you tho, there seems to be a lot of criticism of the 3rd gen here on TW. I have some of my own, but every other midsize truck currently available on the market is not a viable alternative for me. The alternative would be figuring out how to "downsize" to a 4R. Or wait and see what Ford does.

    I had two 4R at one time, but both of them put together didn't add up to a truck for me. I kept one though, it's one helluva a vehicle compared to the competition in its class.

    2016 OR MMT with 11k miles. So far only one issue that's seriously annoying, my Pandora often times won't connect with my android phone. Says "insufficient connectivity" or some error. Other times it works great. Of course I can't dealer replicate. Works perfect when I have them look at it lol. Do I wish it had more torque.... Sure. For now, I'm happy.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    BTW I just heard on the news men's rompers are the next big thing in fashion. I could totally rock these.

    "Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

    I should probably pick one of those up before I get stranded somewhere with no beer.
