    I just had several issues with mine specifically. I bought it early when they first came out so that can be expected.

    It’s a thing for people who own pre Covid trucks to talk crap about post Covid trucks.

    Congrats and I hope you enjoy your new ride. I love my truck but I just could never bring myself to spend $50k on a Tacoma. $37k was bad enough for me LOL.

    Congratulations @bulldog time to change your sig to the new ride. I'm sure moving from "early build" to "final build" is apparent with the quality not to mention you now have the top of the line truck. Enjoy!!!

    @FL_TRD Sport I thought $36.6k for my Taco was a lot for my 2017, until I bought a 2023 Tundra for $72k. Talk about pain and suffering at THAT sticker shock... lol...

    i can see the early problematic trucks feeling like lesser quality. Never a good idea to buy the first few years of a redesign.
