Cheap plastic

Maybe I'm just expecting too much for my 34000.00 dollars but that plastic interior is cheap. I was cleaning out the cup holders that have the tabs with springs and the towel got snagged and pulled the tabs right out. While I was trying to put back together my fingernails scratched the plastic all over the place. For the price Toyota charges you would think the quality would be better.

 

I cant tell if srs...

 

The “tabs” are supposed to come out.....clip your nails

 

So far the only complaint I have about interior is the flimsy glove box.

 

I have no complaints about the interior of my truck, except for the amazingly bad square cupholders.


Edit:. Oh. This is the 3rd gen forum....sorry.

 

k

 

I drove a rental Frontier... you can literally write your name in the door plastic with your nails... for the record, I didn't, but it's possible.

OP, it's hard for a manufacturer to walk the line between hard rattle inducing plastic (cheap) and overly soft, easily marring plastic. I like my interior and have had zero issues.

 

Use square cups?

 

In the defense of the op, the plastic does mar and scratch extremely easily

 

I actually have one round cup that I can jam in there and have it stay. Disposable ones are no go.


The first time I discovered this feature. I really needed coffee that day:

 

I love cheap plastic . I hear Ridgeline uses expensive plastic .

Making the turn out of the coffee shop in a hurry was a bad idea.



Edit:. Breakfast burrito was good though.

 

Ouch.

 

Another 3rd gen buyer overwhelmed with new vehicle lust during a limited test drive / vehicle inspection evidenced by post purchase complaints on obvious pre purchase items.

Not defending the interior or Toyota. Just suggesting you had other options for your $

 

I could loan you a crazy Alaskan Husky to bust that cherry! Ones you get a few scratches it doesn't matter lol. But when they were younger and ate my seatbelts...grrr.

 

I know Estes Park from my younger days (80's). I bet it's crowded now!
