SHOULD I BUY A 2017 TACOMA???

Ok, that’s the million dollar question. I hear about recalls, I hear about tranny issues. I need some current 2017 owners to chime in and tell me the pros and cons. I am going from a 2015 TRD off road to a 2017 SR5. First of all, damn if the car insurance hasn’t went up on these things??? I am looking at a Blazing blue or a Quicksand color, the quicksand was on the recall but they could not find anything wrong (duh….its brand new, no miles on it !) The blue one was not on the recall. How do they know which ones to recall and which not. 228,000 trucks is a lot of trucks to recall. Anyone have comments on the tranny issues? Whats up with that?

 

Ohhhh chit here we go.

 

Sure

 

That's My Truck!!!!


It's a trail killing, ball busting, bitch. We just took it to Texas for a road trip. Killer tech for the road. (and 24 MPG over the 1000 miles to Fredricksburg)

So...Don't if you gotta question it.

 

2nd Gen had 690,000 recalls. I know several ppl with 3rd including myself. None of us have any probls

 

There are far more vechles out there with far more problems. Buy a new Tacoma and it will keep you happy for 10+ years

 

Have you not read the 3rd gen section? It has all the info you need. Threads like this are a waste of time.

 

Get one! Mine did not have the trans fluid or diff issues.

 

I like mine. You gotta remember people come to forums to b**ch about problems.

 

Mine has no problems at all, but I guess I don't understand why you would trade a 2015 TRD OR for a 2017 SR5?? What's wrong with your 2015?

 

I've had my share of issues, but it's still a great truck after I did work on it... u-bolts, u-joints, correct torque to lugs/driveshaft, fill low tranny, tranny TSB rev 1, etc., Should it be that hard? No. But when properly assembled and lubricated, it's a pretty awesome truck.

 

yes

 

well why don't you go do something productive and not worry about what other people post. Are you the internet police now?

 

Welcome to TW, and yes....buy it

 

do it! all vehicles have issues. I love mine.

 

How prevalent are these issues?

 

Depends on who you ask. Smitty will say that all of them are trash and will blow up if you look at them wrong.

 

When did you buy your 2015, did you buy it used or new?
