    "Selling my Low Miles 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad due to concerns about safety and reliability issues. My wife and I are afraid to use the truck due to a near-death spin-out caused by the brakes locking up by themselves while driving in winter conditions along mountain roads. After two incidents and 26 days in the shop we have decided its time to sell the truck we have owned only 53 days...

    Car is under-warranty and warranty "should" transfer unless you want the brakes repaired. Toyota has decided that the warranty is void if you apply the parking brake in the winter and said they would only fix it once.

    Vehicle has many new parts and upgrades from Toyota. Other than the problems listed below and mentioned above it is the greatest truck every made because it looks great and the stereo works well....

    - New front drive-line installed (front drive-shaft failed due to poor quality yoke casting)

    - Multiple new components in area of front drive shaft (so many things were smashed...)

    - Complete new rear brake system, bearings, leaf-springs and more.

    - Upgraded, enhanced engine and transmission to insure that oil-companies get more money (curren mileage is between 11 and 13 mpg)

    - Comes with Snow-Tires and the OEM Goodyear Kevlar all-season tires (why the come from the factory nobody knows. All I know is when they are on a Tacoma in the snow nobody goes... anywhere, at least until the tow-truck shows up)
