2022 Toyota Tacoma's?

I test drove one, it feels cheap, like the dash will crack in a year and all the buttons and electronics feel sort of cheap.
This is in comparison to my 2002 Tacoma, what say yee? Has Toyota been cutting corners?

 

lol

 

It feels very different, I'm not trolling here it felt cheap to me.

 

Your calendar is off - today is Thursday. Come back tomorrow.

 

OK I guess I am going to get roasted, what ever, it was an honest post not a troll.

 

It sounds an awful lot like a Troll post

 

Rams have a nice interior.

 

You haven't been following along? Most companies are cutting corners while trying to eek out their best profits. Toyota is not immune to this.

Were you expecting luxury? Vehicles are made out of plastic now. 2022 isn't the first year of this.

That being said I'm fine with the interior. I knew what I was getting into and to be honest the interior feels a lot nicer than the 2008 Ranger that was replaced by my 2021 Tacoma.

 

Swear to God, I've been out at the dealers looking at SR's SR5's and TRD and they all feel sort of "cheap". They drive fine, I guess this would be in refernce to the internal cab features.
But from the look of the responses I am guessing no one else feels this way.

 

Nope not luxury, though the newer toyotas seem a bit more "luxurous" than my 2002 SR5. Certainly have a larger feature set with the electronics. And my 2002 is made of plastic inside too, but it feels different than the new stuff.

 

Lighter and stronger plastics

 

I also had a 2002 SR5 before this. Only difference to me is the plastic in the old one was smooth and the plastic in this one is textured and scratches easier.

 

Alright lesson learned. I love my 2002, I want to love whatever comes next, hence the concerns.

 

Toyota doesn't feel nearly as cheap as a lot of the other brands, especially GM. I loved my Silverado, but holy shit was the plastic in the truck the cheapest ever.

 

Previously had an 86 Toy PU and a 1995 Gen one Taco. I was always pretty impressed by the interior quality in my 2018.

 

Here is my take, I get where you're coming from. I haven't owned that many vehicles. I keep vehicles for a long time. Use to something for so long and something new could and might even actually give off that vibe and be 'cheaper made'. This generation has been around over 6 1/2 years and my dash, buttons and truck has help up great. Maybe it might have felt different having it for a month? Or might still feel the same way.

All good, it's your take on the truck. It's not for everyone in many ways.

 

You're probably just alarmed at the hard plastics they use. Most new cars use this stuff. It's pretty durable, believe it or not. My Canyon had a crack in the door but I suspect that was related to cold and/or someone being way too aggressive pulling the door panel off.

The plastic most cars seemed to use back in the late 90's and early 2000's does feel a little different but I wouldn't say either is better or worse.

 

I know exactly what you mean. I've had mine just over a year and I'm constantly worrying about my dash cracking in half. Sometimes it keeps me up all night.

 

I have both a 2004 and a 2020 Tacoma Access Cab. I like both interiors; the third Gen doesn't feel cheap to me.
