Love Toyota,not the Tacoma

Only if you can keep the 3rd gen out of the repair dept at the dealership long enough too enjoy it.lol

 

No repairs here. Zero issues. 10's of thousands of miles racked on. If you think a cps or a leaky seal on a fraction of units is a big issue you should be ubering.
I have seen no engine or tranny problems reported here actually across the board, just minor crap. With all the tech in 3rd gen you can expect some issues, on 2nd gen 15 year old technology not much there so not as many issues.
Looking for 300K out of this baby. And guess what, no RUSTY FRAMES !
No 8 track tape unit to break either, whew.

 

Pretty sure your frame is the same as a gen 2 though

 

they came in looking for a safe space, they should've gotten a Ridgeline instead

 

According to Mike Sweers the frame for third gens has been "modified and not a carryover fron the 2nd gen", whatever that means.

Oh give me a break. Far far from it. Check out cab specs.
So they are using 15 year old tech they had an issue with. Really ??? Cmon.

The cab of that 15 year old tech 2nd gen is going to crumple like a beer can compared to 3rd gen.

 

"Part of the cab"

 

Right??

 

Rollover protection.

But it tows faster than 2nd gen and is just as quick 0-60.
Ridgeline even beats 2nd gen in towing test. Pathetic.

 

I vote this thread is better than black Friday walmart one.... This is going places

 

You're, I hate to be the spelling police, but if are gonna continue to troll at least use correct spelling

 

How many MPGs are you getting?

 

Almost all surface street driving so its about 15

 

I have to try hard to get 17, usually mine is 18-20ish.
17 stock trd sport

 

Oh Snap, the guys running the Gauntlet Test around the 9:30 mark say they prefer the old 4.0 over the 3.5...

 

But the 3rd beats the 2nd best gen by a whopping 45 seconds !!!
That's what its all about, not a comment from an individual. Winning is winning, period.
I could have a couple of beers before 2nd gen came in.
Ridgeline even beats 2nd gen, now that's pathetic !
I would never ever buy a Chevy. And the taco tows capacity loads the Chity couldn't dream of. 1400 pounds more !

Just pointing out that even the guys that run your beloved test don't even like the engine.
