    I think what's offensive is how you use the term gay as if it's an insult. Maybe the universe is getting back at you for your bigoted ideology.

    Manufacturing defects can take years to get flushed out of the supply chain. Once the defective radiators land in the Mexico plant there's no turning back.

    Sounds like an individual problem. One guy in the past year has complained here about a radiator problem. This cat has had three. Coinidence? Or personal...

    That is a wierd pic- I thought it was sand and damaged too. Could his dealer be using used parts from wrecked trucks and selling them as new?

    OP?

    Who knows, maybe the Technician working on the Truck damaged it when he installed the 2nd one.

    A different dealer might give you better results. Be careful though. You might get a Corolla for a loaner.

    I can see why it's nicknamed "turd" gen. I'm going back to a 2nd gen. Seriously :(

    Sorry to be a bunkle brother but it seems all I see on here are issues with the 3rd gen and I just bought one so I'm having a bit of regret after selling my 12' DCLB TRD 4x4 two years ago

    No issues with my 16.....Remember, as beaten down as this saying goes. 99% Of Tacoma owners don't have problems. The ones you see on forums are a very super, super small amount of owners. People that go into forums are having trouble and need help, this is most of the time. Some actually join for the sake of being part of something and sharing ideas. Trade your "Turd Gen", no one is stopping you or really cares.

    Because of a radiator on one vehicle lol. Graphics for this site need a snowflake.

    2nd forum is loaded with issues.
