How come our Taco's always come in last

Of course, basically none of the off-roading was really discussed talked about, but man always last

EDIT - WTF is up with these city dweller auto "writers"

 

Complain about ground clearance, has aftermarket predator steps installed.

The old standard is always going to come in last. Everyone favors the underdog.

 

Do you like your truck? Will anything in there change the way you feel about it? If the answers are yes and no, who gives a fuck....?

 

I'll treat this like I treat my BLC students.....fuck'em

 

It's the engine and transmission clusterpuck

 

might be a sneaky marketing plan... do you want to see everyone with one?

 

I'm honestly surprised MSN is even still around. Havent even looked at them since the AOL days. I guess anyone can offer them $20 to write gibberish.

 

Here’s how they do these articles - and they all seem to stick to the same theme. Every year they do a brand A, vs. brand B, and C. They rate a lot on who has the latest, fanciest doodads, slickest modern features, etc. etc.

The thing they don’t rate and really pretty much the only one that really matters to me most is reliability, ruggedness, and longevity. If they gave those things any weight, Toyota would come out on top every time hands down.

I don’t give a shit if my truck stereo can make me a chai latte while the seat gives me a back rub. I just want my car to start every time and get me to where I’m going and back from wherever I want to go.

What good are all those fancy features if they quit working after a few thousand miles down the road? What good is a nice interior if plastic pieces are falling of the dash a year or two later?

Yes warranty’s are fine, but after spending the better part of your weekend or even days or weeks at a time waiting for the dealer to fix shit that shouldn’t need fixing, you come to really appreciate trouble free vehicles. Been there dome that. That’s why I like Toyotas.

 

After reading the article, all that I saw was that the "writers" must have gotten a better "incentive" from FIAT Jeep for their #1 choice
of the Wrangler. IMHO the ugliest of the trucks tested. Jeep used to be good but that was a long time ago.

 

I love my truck and frankly I honestly it is the best available choice. Either I am blind or these "writers" need top actually do some research.

 

Seems like they're just Google Writers. They hit the search button, copy and past information and add a few words and boom, click bait, everyone gets paid.

 

I like ice cream sandwiches.

 

Who cares. And ice cream sandwiches are awesome. These reviewers probably like Eskimo pies.

 

Eskimo Pies taste like shit.

 

You expect the Pro to beat the Gladiator in off-road test? Ok then.

 

Some are better at this and some are better at that...Toyota is better at sales.

 

Best selling midsize truck, by a large margin, with not the best 'reviews'. Now, who do you think actually knows whats important in a truck? Answer: not the reviewers.

 

They might win the hearts of the reviewers, but they can't beat our dumpster fires.

 

I thought it was pretty funny the Ranger beat the Tacoma..that thing is hideous. The taillights are too big, front end looks like a Focus, It's the least capable off road. Maybe the writer has a thing for size cuz the original story had it the Ranger was 10in wider than the rest..talk about girth lol
