Quality of Tacoma in Mexico verses Texas built.

This is the most retarded discussion on the entire forum.

What next? Quality of Tacoma built on a Monday vs a Wednesday...?

 

It was dead for a couple months until the new guy decided to make his first post in this thread and revive it. The funny thing is he hasn't made another post since then and that was back in April.

Maybe Smitty is back.

 

I know its an old post, but I have to add my .02 cents.

Let's see, Mexico...Young hard working folks trying to improve a somewhat dismal life by any means necessary(including hard work).

Texas...Beer belly out of shape(some lazy) middle aged folks, looking for a reason to file a grievance.

Sounds harsh, but I've worked in three Assembly plants, and I've seen this first hand.

But most of the plants have bots doing 70% of the work. So Japan, US, or Mex are getting very similar results.

If I had a choice, I'd take a US made Toy, Jap second, and Mex third. But it's not my choice.

If I'd known my 2020 was made in Mexico, I may have bought a Ranger instead. I know it would not last as long, but I do like to support my citizens when I have a choice. I thought my truck was made in Indiana. A week later I was shocked when I saw the Mex sticker on the. door jam. After 6 hours of beating down the sales guy, I was too zonked look that closely at the truck(got it for $31,100).

 

My Tacoma was built personally by Mike Sweers. He told me it was the last great Tacoma before they were ruined with TSS.

 

Were you one of the "Beer belly out of shape(some lazy) middle aged folks"? Or everyone else but you?

 

All i can say is my Texas truck is a total lemon.

on the plus side it makes me care about it less when i abuse it off-road

 

Hey, I love my TSS!

I can text and drive and not worry about the brakes!

 

That poor Manuel Taco

 

2 out of 3.

 

My '06 was made in Fremont California by Mexicans.

 

Here is a Toyota produced video on the Texas plant. It is from 2012, but it is interesting to see the assembly process.

I don’t need TSS because Mike Sweers, and Jesus is my copilot.

 

I quit buying American brand cars starting back in the 80’s.
In general because they were POS.....Japan products were kicking ass.
Buying ‘American’ today, promise your American vehicle has lots of foreign made parts, etc.
Unions kill the US Auto industry.
GM should have never been bailed out by tax payer money.

 

And that is why the single most popular vehicle sold in all of North America, outselling all others of any sort, by a long shot, is the union-built, USA made, American brand F150? Wut? There is something wrong with your logic. Sounds like a regurgitation with no data to back it up.

 

Google Ford, unions.
Unions, pensions government.....read it all.

 

The internet offers the answers you are looking for. You can find an argument on either side. A better metric is sales of the truck. It’s a runaway success. Who’d have thought a full-size, gas guzzlin, American made, USA Brand, Union made pickup truck would become the standard family vehicle in all of the USA and Canada?? It’s outlandish.

Bravo to Ford and the intrepid, skilled people working there. I am glad they are rewarded for their efforts.

 

Ford produces vehicles all over the world. And can’t afford their Union pay and pensions.....train wreck coming....meantime just kick the can down the road.

No doubt!

 

Forbes!!!! Nice source.

WTF man......that’s like posting a chapter Mien Kampf as an argument for fascism.

 

I know it’s a challenge, stay on subject, Unions bad for business.
Forbes and many other sources....even Liberal ones.
