    Check build thread!
    My 2021 is at 52k km (32k miles) and hasn’t had a single issue thus far. Consumer reports is garbage, they could rate the Tacoma as the worst, or the best and I wouldn’t give a damn either way.

    I have always had more confidence in Consumer Reports for testing washing machines and other appliances rather than vehicles.

    That's cool to see, usually CR doesn't rate the tacoma favorably. Weird that they rated the 21 this way and not the other years.

    I still laugh about the Suzuki Jimny and how CR ruined it's reputation forever in America.

    That being said, I never understood many of their complaints would often key on perceived issues that are subjective to someone's preference or likes.

    How did it get the highest rating for noise?! My truck practically whistles in a light cross wind. At 30-45 mph you get a lovely whistle from the side mirrors.

    I remember the article saying, they leaned in their road course more than the others so, C.R. increased the speed of the Suzuki until it lifted a rear wheel in the slalom course... :confused: So, increase the speed of the others and try again !

    I guess it takes a ponderous vehicle to get up a 20% grade in 2 feet of snow. That's what I bought my truck for, not for going to Starbucks.
