Are Gen 3 Tacomas as unreliable as Tacomaworld makes them seem?

Lol, why do I feel like you are the next one to get banned after stun gun? Difference is I actually liked him

 

Did i just miss a devil fight?!

 

Great truck few minor noises .....

Only real complaint is the interior plastic is easier to scuff than any vehicle I have ever seen

 

Also, consider your sources when getting these complaints. Throw 35s on your stock drive train and yeah, you're gonna get diff problems. If you're using your tacoma to pull a landscaping trailer, then your transmission probably wont like it. On that note, toyotas 6 speed auto is a bit dated compared to Ford and GM 10 and 8 speeds.
Performance cars always get lower reliability ratings compared to other models by the same make (think mustang's and STI's), but that's because people buy these cars to beat them up. The same thing goes for TRD trimmed Tacomas. I know several middle aged family guys who use their TRDs for family cars and typical light truck things with 100k miles and zero problems. I also know that if I routinely off road my '18, I'll eventually have to fix what I'm tearing up.

 

All the fun stuff always happens over here in the 3rd gen forum

 

Hell yes!

 

Looks like I missed the slap-fight. Damn...

 

I chose the wrong the day to be off the air. Always miss the good stuff

 

Oh it was good. Got pretty graphic towards the end there.

 

After 17 pages of mostly serious replies I guess the fun stuff started? I missed that part! Where is that suspended/banned page I wanna see lol. I know that page exists I was an honorary member there for 7 days once

 

Mods deleted all the good stuff, i apologize you missed such a great shit show.

 

Well with a title like the OPs you just knew a train wreck was coming sooner or later haha

 

I've had some of the most issues with my truck as anyone here, about 8 warranty repairs before 30k miles. However it seems as if all of the issues are worked out as the truck is now at almost 40k miles without another issue and I do plan on keeping it.

 

have a 2016 SR5 with almost 53K on it and no issues at all, runs great, still on my first set of disc pads...lol

 

The only thing I've seen that seems to be very common is the TRD OffRoad Crawl Control not working properly on the 2020 models. Those of us who have them are hoping for a fix from Toyota soon.

 

That sound you hear that sounds like your drivetrain is being ripped apart by Thanos? That's normal man. That's crawl control. Everyone* uses it once, realizes it's more of a pain to use than to simply drive the vehicle yourself, then forgets about it entirely.

* Scientifically based on absolutely no evidence.
