    Then every other post on TW would be about how Colorado's are built from damaged Coors cans that couldn't make it to the filling line.

    I highly doubt the mexicans forged the bumpers, made the blower/trans. They just assemble shit.

    You can get lazy assholes anywhere. I bet you would work pretty fucking hard at a good factory job if that was your only chance at making a decent living.

    Don't forget those parts aren't manufactured in Toyota factories, they are assembled there. Your crappy rear bumper was produced elsewhere, the windshield squeal is TSBd, as is the blower motor. Your door handle was produced elsewhere also, as was your transmission and gasket. Your battery was produced at a battery manufacturer.

    So again, what is your point? Other than to say Mexico sucks because Mexico? Your part failures have nothing to do with where your truck was produced

    The burning of 1 qt. of oil is a mystery easily solvable. The reason they are able to squeeze the HP they can out of those Coyote 5.0 engines is because they use lightweight tension piston rings on them. Because they are so lightweight, they in turn allow oil to escape past them. Which is the consequence of attempting to obtain more HP. The GM LS2 engines are guilty of that flaw as well, they however don't burn oil nowhere near as fast though.

    With what's ok to smoke there now, everyone would know for sure why they suck if they were made in Coloraddy. Don't know what their excuse is now...

    I heard next year that more guys named Todd are going to built Tacoma's. The Todd I know sucks, so this is bad news for Toyota.

    Your truck could've been made in America and had the same problems. Just because it was made in Mexico and not here doesn't make it inferior. Its still a Tacoma regardless of where its made.

    My only complaint with the Tacomas being made in Mexico is that I think it's rude that they don't come with some home-made tamales.

    I lived next to a very nice mexican family who made me tamales multiple times a year. Us being their neighbors and buying high dollar goods from them, can rightly expect some tamales!

    Did you get any tamales? I don't want to be the only one not getting tamales.

    Tamales are made with lard. Do you really want to be eating lard? *bleck*

    Some of the best baked goods are made with lard.

    You just made tamales sound more appealing. :D

    Lmao. Well why do you think Mexican's are so fat? Everything they eat has lard in it. The beans, the cheese. Everything. That also explains why they are always so happy. I'm sure their arteries aren't though!
