    I mean I like my truck too, but I honestly don’t care if anyone else does. Where I live, if I bought a truck to impress other people it would have been a lifted Duramax on stretched low profile tires.

    I wouldn’t stand for that. Hire a lawyer and demand the dealer give you a brand new truck.

    Fortunately enough I live too far in the rural south for that to be a thing. However I’m sure if I made the trek to Dallas there would be some city boys with trucks as you described “Carolina lean” or whatever they call it.

    Man I'm right there with you, damn trucks.

    Saturday I went to my local aquarium supply store with the tiny one way parking lot. Because I entered the parking lot from the wrong way I accidentally parked on top of one of their decorative landscaping rocks and this fucking happens. :annoyed:

    These trucks should be tougher than this.

    POS Cheap Toyota one-layer paint!!! :bananadead::cookiemonster:

    I wouldn't say that's Toyotas reliability as you're doing some Life Aquatics of Steve Zissou adventures there. Your starter decided to leave the adventure that day. Thats a minor issue and fix for what you use the Tacoma for.

    The title is misleading and a click bait. TW giving you revenue for the amount of views you get? :spending:

    I may or may not have ran over my trash can causing a nice green scratch on my front bumper...... either way, if the crappy truck wasn’t so crappy it would have teleported me through time so I wouldn’t have hit the can in the first place!

    How was anyone supposed to extrapolate sarcasm from the original post?

    I never claimed anyone could, however when he posted again about ten minutes after with the photo of the truck in the water and said he had no issues and the truck has nearly 100k miles obviously pointed towards the fact that the post was sarcastic. Comments made prior to his second post were obviously appropriate, but people still don’t seem to understand it was a joke.

    Didnt get sarcasm from this. Just thought he made decisions and was dumbfounded that it didnt work after said decisions.

    wouldnt be the first time seeing that here. Some people are dumb. Maybe your right and hes being sarcastic, and hes not actually dumb. Who knows.

    Really pushing the Tacoma’s limits. There’s always a risk when off-roading.
