    Why don't you like it and what do you think you'll get to replace it! I had a 2016 Tacoma OR loved it but was to small so I got a 2017 Tundra CM 4X4 5.7 but I did like the look and feel of the 4runner Pro!

    For what its worth, here's my perspective on 3rd gen Tacoma. I've had my truck for about 6 months, admittedly for just 7000 miles. Had a Porsche before it. Toyota service is not as good. Too often they say, "I don't know." "Never heard this before." "Not sure." And with no follow up. Porsche never did that.

    But the bottom line for me is that my truck is fun to drive. I find it responsive driving in ETC with no problem. Downshift when needed. It's called driving. Involvement in the driving experience fun, and the truck has plenty of power in the sweet RPM range.

    I'm glad I made the move. The truck is fine. Enjoy !

    On the other hand, I feel bad for those with mechanical problems. I wish you well.

    Do you think the price difference between the Porsche and Tacoma may have something to do with the customer service? I don't know, but would think the pay at a Porsche dealership may be a step up over a Toyota dealership.

    no doubt, $$$$ is what its all about. Different level of clientele. I don't have my 911 serviced at the dealer, do it myself. though being active with them other the years w Porsche Club activities, I have a great relationship with everyone there. My parts person is middle aged lady who knows her stuff. By having access to electronic Parts catalog and forum like this, I can email her with part number(s) and she calls me day or 2 later when its in, with 15% discount.
