I didn't say it's a great idea. My 23' F-150 has been alright almost 10k miles. The only issue I have is an intermittent rear window switch issue that does not always work. I belive a new drivers door switch would correct it. Other than that no recalls I'm aware of. I'm surprised the windshield adhesive recall hasn't been issued. 24 F-150 gets that recall, I think my 21 had that recall, Super Duties I've driven had that recall seems like an ongoing issue at Ford.

My 21 F-150 had a handfull of recalls, no other issue. There was a noise that I would describe as coming from the torque covertor when decelerating at low speed, but that could have been the rear axle bolt floating around in the hub if it did snap off.

The 21 was a Kansans City built 4dr XLT, and the 23 is a Dearborn built extened cab XL.

I won't be surprised if the 10R80 does not see a recall or something in the future. There are many complaints and I hear of fleet expeditions seeing issues.

The Maverick is a low price vehicle mass produced by Ford. Something I'd keep in mind if purchasing one.

 

I can see their allocation orders from every dealership in the United States and it seems to be plenty of being ordered and are either in allocation, freight or ground but when you go to the dealerships, there’s nothing there except one or two white or silver ones and almost all of them are SR5’s Except for a few stray sports

 

I can only speculate about what's at the dealership currently and are not seeing. Dealer demos that are not there when you are, maybe there is a QC hold and the trucks haven't physically made it to the dealer but show in stock.

I'd imagine there aren't too many Toyota QC inspectors in the US, and it takes them time to get to the ports and where ever else vehicles are staged. Making it a slow process.

Inspectors probably only go to Mexico every so often, delaying shipment of new Tacomas, also making it a slow process. Tacomas sitting in dealer lots, and inventory not moving probably isn't going to get Toyota going any faster with the process.

 

Just my daily surfing the 4th gen groups.

 

Front or rear shock I wonder?

I think it's only the front shock that has the internal bumpstops. Not sure if that's the culprit, that's the 1st thing that comes to mind.

I don't think just driving down the street would cause a shock to fail in the manor described.

 

You know... going down the road...

 

Looks like it's only happening to Off Roads. Could be the OR specific shocks, that have an issue.

Would Toyota easily be able to go a regular shock design with external bump stops, if this design is faulty?

 

Did these types of problems, or problems of this level of severity, happen when the Gen 3 was released?

 

No. Issues but not to this extent.

 

It seems to me an exact replay of lovers, haters, and Toyota as a corporation's arm chair directors.

I've worked with and know a bunch of Tacoma fans. At the gen 2-3 split a family member was in dealer service management. The earlier owners were sure the new model would be horrible, a former work associate was just like me waiting for inventory of the right model to be better. When the I think 2020 or when CarPlay came I recall associates sure that was ruining Tacomas.

In MTB trail building and ski crew we call this butt hurt over change "You moved my favorite rock.".

I'm still lost on the severity and quantities of problems. The way media makes a living over outrage has me thinking 70,000 bad Tacomas would be front page news. CyberTruck math should be showing more problems. Look at that news for problems when only a fraction have shipped relative to Tacomas this year.

 

Idk I had and was here for early 3rd gen adoption and ya I heard the hate but it was about how ugly it was. The only issues people had on a widespread basis was transmission logic / low fluid, rear diff howl (Toyota later deemed normal) and the small batch of early tps sensor and leaky 3rd brake light gaskets and some random stuff here and there (timing cover leak, paint issues, etc.). I mean across the board stuff sucks post Covid manufacturing not sure why we thought taco would be different. But there’s def more issues this early in and still a small amount of trucks even on the road.

 

Ouch

 

That Craig Wayne guy is a Toyota shill.

 

Recall, rofl. They'll silently fix the trucks that have the issue and that will be that. It'll be noted and future trucks won't have the issue. As per usual it seems.


EDIT: This was pertaining to the FaceBook post, not what you wrote.

 

Yes, i would argue they were worse

 

What were the Gen 3 rollout issues?

 

leaking weeping rear diffs, transmission gremlins, bad rear axles, bad ac fan blades, crappy headlights, seat height was on the floor, cruise control was useless (see transmission gremlins), shitty halogen headlights, near death trying to do U-turns without using ECT (see transmission gremlins), bad white paint, bad blue paint, etc.

I know I am missing stuff…

 

I mean off the top of my head, there were crank sensor issues leaving people stranded. Leaking rear diffs blowing up on the highway. Transmissions that were underfilled from the factory causing problems.

checked google, the 2016 tacoma, had 4 recalls the first year or so. and currently has 480+ TSBs, but im not going to go through all of them to see how many were announced the first year or 2
