    So I'm guessing the countless other train wreck threads posting this same info somehow escaped your notice?

    No, I've been reading along taking it all in. I'd leave the keys in it, but they would leave a note saying nice try! Or I could tie a boat anchor to it, but with the amount of foam and plastic it would float back up to the top! Right up there with my VW Diesel Touareg lemon.

    Not a day goes by when I spot awful engineering. WTF were those engineers thinking or not thinking in this case!! A rush case to get it on the market.

    Almost makes my Mercedes look like a cream puff!

    Help me out here....

    This info has been posted God knows how many times.

    And if you're aware of those threads, you know that TFL called out CR - namely over the fact that the 2017 Tacoma got the highest score in 15 of 17 categories.

    So what's the point of posting it again?

    Ah....thank you for clearing that up with the edits.

    You don't like your Tacoma....the BSM apparently took a shit on you and somehow that plastic and foam escaped your notice when you test drove it?

    So you're expressing your displeasure with your purchase by trolling on a Tacoma Forum?

    Got it. Makes perfect sense.

    Interesting this seems to be from the spanish Consumer Reports for 2018. The American version I couldn't find anywhere and was actually wondering if they'd say its a worst buy for '18 as the only videos out so far were 160 or 17. Still waiting to see what CR North America says. Either way hating your truck because of a GD mirror?? That troll-troll-troll troll troll.
