Best selling midsize again in July 2017 -TACO Continues to "crush"

"In the mid-size segment, the Toyota Tacoma continues to crush monthly sales;"

I like that word crush, don't you ?

Beat Colorado by almost 2x

Ridgeline by over 5X

 

I wonder why Tundras are so far behind. Not even close in full size.

 

What else is out there that can come close to the reliability of the Taco? Everywhere else I see, the competition has BIG problems. Nothing small like loose fasteners either, so yeah, go Taco Go!!

And the chebies have a/c condenser and electrical issues they can't get past due to low Q/C at the plants

Cheers!

 

Just got back from a Seattle-Klamath River trip. So many Tacomas. Just plain Toyotas, for that matter.

 

Meanwhile, at the Consumer Reports reviews strategy meeting...

 

Probably because the Tacoma makes more money? Don't know that for sure, but that's my guess

 

Not to mention...

Kelley Blue Book predicts the 2017 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck will retain an industry-best 71% of its original value after 3 years, and 58.4% after 5 years

 

^^^^Why i bought one. Among other reasons of course

 

That sucks. I got like 70% after 12 years on my 2004

 

It's like smoking...Bad habits are hard to change. Back when I had my '02 Tundra, two of my front neighbors had Ford & Chebies and in '09 they both went Tundra after constant issues and trading theirs and have never looked back.

Give it more time, maybe 20 more years
Cheers!

 

To be fair could you not have a very similar video for the Taco? It's not like owners haven't had issues with 3rd gens at all. All he's saying is "owners have reported that..." there are no statistics on how many, whether the problems are wide spread, recalls etc.

 

There's a couple cry babies here that will do that soon nuff, no worries! lmao!

It's all good, its a Taco forum
Cheers!

 

Because Toyota does not put much effort into the Tundra

 

That's based off MSRP too. If you got 10-15% off MSRP it's even more value you retain.

 

Impossible. What about all the issues and recalls and lack of improvements?

jk. Its been a great truck.

 

They don't. They don't offer 2500 and 3500 series full sizes like the domestics brand which is the main reason it will never sell at 40-70k units a month.

 

Based off MSRP. Nobody pays sticker price on a brand new vehicle.
