    Lol congrats!

    Let me sum up what will probably happen in this thread.

    40% of post will be from actual 3rd gen owners telling you congrats and what a grear truck it is. No problems.

    55% of it will be from non 3rd gen owners bashing it. Saying its a terrible truck. How the heck they know, I have no idea.

    And the last 5% of it will be Smitty telling you all Tacos are lemons and if you dont agree with him you "lack the situational awareness" to know anything.

    All that matters. You got a new truck. Cool beans! :)

    Congratulations! My suggestion would be to avoid seeking out problems based on what you read here and just enjoy the truck for what it is and not what it isnt.

    Jesus it's already starting. I seriously think they just need a subforum for all gens for problems, concerns, questions ect, But it may just implode if everything ever that was wrong went there.

    Planet-9 (TW for Porsche) does a subforum for issues, complaints, defects with each model. Seems to work well.

    There is a fair priced remote starter thread kicking around, might be worth checking out before you pay more than needed.
