    I purchased this truck thinking it would be the latest and greatest. After some time I realize it’s full of tiny issues that make me hate it.

    Does anyone else regret buying their 2023?

    Please don’t bitch about it anymore and take the advice given above: sell it or part out. I call dibs on wheels and engine.

    Rolls in as a newbie, starts throwing shade on something he decided on himself, but looking for commiseration.

    Sweet.

    @ChocoTacoNine, time to move on before you ulcerate. Enjoy your next whatever.

    I drive a Miata.
    These threads always remind me of the teenaged girls that saw a Dodge Neon and though "oh how cute. I want to drive that." No consideration on how they will use it, how it performs, how it maintains... its cute, I want it.



    I'm in a small truck because I need, use, and want a small truck. If I could, I would be driving a car instead. But I cant. My lifestyle demands at least one truck in the household. The fact that it is a "cool" Tacoma is secondary to my usage case.

    Trade it for an Elantra N or a Stinger, and be much happier. Seriously. If you want something nice, buy a car.

    Doesn't matter. He's got the bitters, let him go. It's better for all.
