    You got a good one.
    Mine is dry too but it has a lot of rust.
    Didn't expect this many problems from a $35-36k truck. Should have kept my Scion tC

    If you say so. It is your opinion. Let us go down memory lane. Take a look at some of the first threads about the 3g when photos were being released. Seems many could not stand the front grill. Amazing how many think the 3G is just fine and looks great.

    I like the looks of the new Tacoma. I also like the looks of the Frontier. The new Tacoma and GMC twins grew just a bit too much for my liking. I also disliked the prices for the Tacoma, Colorado/Canyon. I have no real need for some of the tech stuff in the trucks.

    So in the end for thousands less I was able to get a Pro 4x. It fits my needs just fine. I have said before, the Frontier reminds me a bunch of my 06 Tacoma on size, drive and ride.

    "Massive" recall is to tighten bolts and or replace a gasket.. don't worry about it, sounds like you mostly have it sorted. People are blowing recall way out of proportion.

    You and I both know the new Tacoma looks 10 times better than the old one .
    The 2nd gen is dated looking with those huge fucking headlights ! Lol
    Nice truck but VERY dated looking :)

    Yes. It's a lot of negative publicity for the 3rd gen tacoma though. All the Toyota haters are eating this up.

    I bought my 3rd gen over a 2nd gen because I liked the smaller headlights with the illuminated LED. I know it's a very superficial reason why I bought my 2017 but it was only $2875 more than a 2015 TRD off road's list price so I thought it was worth it for the refreshed design and all the new technology the old school truck guys hate.

    Ok, your diff is leaking. That is a super easy fix and they will take care of it. Should it have happened? No, but it's not like it's a crappy diff - it's due to someone not tightening the bolts properly. It's highly unlikely that you will have your diff lock up, especially now that you know to get it taken care of.

    Your CPS...yeah that one sucks since it leaves you stranded. I get that.

    If you feel it was so underpowered and crappy, why the hell did you buy it? Break in? Give me a break.

    Anyway, mine drives great, shifts fine, no issues so far and I love it.
