Wish I did more Research before buying Tacoma

I recently began feeling a Vibration in my Toyota Tacoma between 30-40 mph, and noticed the lengthy threads on what the cause of it could be.

I must say from exterior looks, the Tacoma is a wicked looking truck. But I never had an issue with my Dodge 1500 4x4 ever.

So why the loyalty to this truck. Toyota is supposed to be dependable, and the resale value of Tacoma's is pretty high.

I think I am going to invest my 5000 thousand into the savings, and sell my truck. I'll Go back to the Dodge, and forgo the lengthy process of investigating Vibrations as so many other members on here have done.

If you have a true diagnosis that works, I might reconsider, but one shouldn't have to spend copious amounts of time, and money trying to fix an issue. Perhaps all of you should reconsider loyalty to a different auto maker, it might just force Toyota to address this issue. If a company is unwilling to address this vibration it might be because consumer loyalty prevents them from doing so.

 

See ya!

 

Could be an alignment issue or a number of other things that aren't the truck's fault, but a bad owner. I'm not going to defend Toyota's name because I think the fact that if you google 'most dependable car brands', Toyota is ALWAYS in the top the and is usually #1.

EDIT: you might also get better responses if your post was more geared to trying to figure out what's wrong with your truck, rather than simply complaining about it...People on a website solely dedicated to Toyota's aren't going to leave positive responses to a thread that has no value, whatsoever

 

Oh don't start this...it's time to man up

 

'07 with 108k miles? and theres a vibration? ever think it could be due to lack of maintenance or needs something fixed. nah, its the trucks fault nevermind.

 

lol no one is going to beg and plead you to keep your tacoma, we like our tacomas for our own reasons if you aren't happy with it then get rid of it, simple as that. haha but for a dodge? good luck with that

 

haha exactly. Who knows if the previous owner had the tires b&r'd every 6000 miles, if the alignment is to spec, what condition the tires are in, if they had the trans flushed every 40,000 miles, etc. Don't assume that the truck sucks because the issue could very-well be a lack of TLC

 

had 3 and no vibrations from any of them

 

Good luck with that. Your research on Dodge will show that there are 3 Chryslers in the 10 most UNreliable vehicles, and the Ram is one of them. There are no Toyotas, Lexus, or Scions on that list! Done researching yet?

Oh, by the way 92,000+ miles no problems! Had vibes once when the tire shop didn't balance the tires correctly

 

Youre right! My truck sucks im going to sell it and get a dodge.

 

First post 4/2714, had enough with the truck as of 5/2/14 lol

 

mopar don't go far

 

Tires are probably not balanced.

On a side note- why not diagnose the problem before rushing to sell. The truck has 100k on it, almost every major service interval has happened or will happen by this point. If the PO used bad parts, you cannot blame Toyota.

 

Fanboy assault commence

 

Go join the Dodge forum. Bye Derek!

 

Lol you must have had your dodge as long as you have had the Tacoma..

Dodge makes good trucks... But I wouldn't keep one more then 5 years due to quality of interior in there vehicals.

 

When buying ANY used car or truck, it's a gamble...
