    I agree
    Way too much stuff can go sideways , especially in the beginning of a model run . Not to mention this early in the game

    Exactly. I’m not meaning to knock anyone who purchased one. I don’t know what happened, if it was a manufacturer flaw or operator error. Just that there are good reasons to wait and see. No need to be Toyota’s beta tester.

    “Cheapest as possible by people that suck at their job and we pay top dollar for it.”
    That’s awesome and pretty much sums it all up.

    I used wait things out back in the day when I built my own hotted up street cars , just to see if what I put together would hold up. I wouldn’t do long trips or any hard core street runs until it was running a while . But like you said for 50 k plus let someone else test it out . Not me

    100% Toyota's fault for building a terrible driveline.

    I didn’t read through the entire thread. Has it been confirmed?

    Yep, everyone here says it's 100% Toyota's fault. Trail conditions and driver error have been ruled out as not possible at all.

    Who says “ it’s 100% Toyota’s fault”?

    There is always more than one factor that comes to play. At this point, does anyone even know what broke?

    Well if you look on this thread it's been said it's Toyota's fault. Bad design, cheap parts, etc. I said earlier it was driver error and trail conditions and we should wait what they hear from Toyota but I changed my mind and agree it's just Toyota's quality control etc.

    well, you said everyone here I guess I’m not part of everyone. And nobody here has a clue as to what the hell broke.

    Maybe. I haven’t broken a front axle because the vehicles I’ve owned haven’t sucked. :D

    Just saying, you've been doing a lot of talking.

    Maybe try learning a bit first before bending everyone's ears back with your theories :notsure:

    I'm going by the engineers in this thread who say it's not driving error or trail conditions.

    I have a guess of what broke but the others have convinced me it's Toyotas fault whatever it is. BUt you're right I should have said 'most' on here. Not everyone.

    I agree, it’s 265 tires with minimal grip, not oversized mud tires or aggressive ATs, should be able to handle a bit of action without breaking
