Are these issues still happening.

Hello All, I'm new hear. Just got a 19 Pro this week and love it. I discovered this site yesterday and been reading a bit. I saw in one of the Sticky Threads (Tips and Tricks) started in 2016 which includes models all the way up to 2019 some issues on the Tacos. Low oil in trans, loose U-Bolts on rear axle 4x's and lack of lube in the U-Joints at delivery. Are these issues still common today? If so, are there any others that may exist that the forum has discover. Also, what is the price range on the OVTunes? Thanks All

 

Aren't these issues you should have made yourself comfortable with before purchase?

 

Welcome Mark

from what i’ve read these are still some of the issues with newer trucks as they were with the older ones.
I checked my truck and found no problems but... ya don’t know till ya check.

 

#ignore

 

If your going to make a smartass comment. You should always make sure the sentence makes sense so you don’t end up just looking like a dumbass

Op. welcome to Tw

 

Why not check yourself? Is it going to make you sleep better knowing that SOMEONE ELSE'S truck isn't having the issues you're asking about?

 

Congrats. They say every truck is different but I have an '18 and didnt have those issues. My biggest headache was the TSS. Toyota eventually fixed it under warranty. I didn't even have the infamous taco lean on mine

 

Welcome.

torque them u’s, that was real. Everything else was whining. Enjoy that truck!

 

Makes perfect sense

 

He already stated he JUST found this site. So clearly he had no knowledge of said issues. Nothing you said was helpful.

Welcome OP

 

Still doesn't mean you shouldn't research a vehicle long before you consider purchasing it.

 

Welcome to the forum, do yourself a favor and delete your account! This place will either drain your bank account or drive you bat shit crazy! Oh and enjoy your Tacoma. Had mine for 2 1/2 years with no issues.

 

Agree, but to be fair. Most review sites will never address or even come close to touching these issues. They talk about the crap most regular drivers care about like seat comfort and looks.
Although there are some places you could find that info, google has a tendency to drive you towards the plus sides to most vehicles

 

You ain't lyin

 

When I bought my SR 4x4 manual I did zero research because I already knew it was going to be exactly how it had always been. Awesome. Then I joined this site to get info on it from people who knew more than me. Boy was I wrong lol

 

Welcome OP, now show us pics of your new truck!

 

(Edit, to remove quote, not really appropriate for my response)

I owned a 2009. Before I purchased a 2018 I researched it online at various sites, including TW. I didn't become a member of TW until after I purchased it.

Worry about the shortcomings of the Tacoma before you buy it is the smart choice to make. But hey, it's only money.
If I decided my truck was a lemon, I can afford to replace it. But can you afford to replace yours?

 

Dont worry about the d*ckheads on the forum. I have a 19 pro as well and havent had any issues with any of those things.

@daveometrod when you buy a car you join every online forum beforehand and read for countless hours before purchasing a new vehicle? Get real

 

The differential howl, A/C whistle, and 25-15 mph deceleration vibration are still common, yes, but I strongly feel that these are -- as Toyota puts it -- "characteristic of the vehicle". Annoying, yes, but nothing to worry about.
