    Cool. Let me just check the Ford forums real quick to see if any Ford owners have any complaints about warranty claims before I run out, buy one, and submerge it in the lake.

    Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

    Duct tape can't fix stupid but it may be able to muffle it for a while.

    Comes to mind.

    If Toyota had seen some of the shit he was doing I would have been shocked if they didn't take his money and call it a "Stupid Tax, consider yourself lucky this is all it was".
    No question of abuse.

    Website author should have been thanking Toyota for covering his ass and paying his "Stupid Tax" then aired his gripe about how steep and how deep.

    Thinking more like "easy come, easy go", if you know what I mean.

    I guess it's just hard to appreciate anything when everything is just handed to you - general comment not directed at anyone in particular.

    My mom once told me "it's never good to get something for nothing". I think of that from time to time and how profound those simple words are.

    Oh well, just finished my paying gig for the day ...here comes the weekend! Lol

    I cannot count how many how many academic conversations I have had with fucktards who brought their 1st gen into the dealer with bent frames and punctured wheelhouses from jumping them in the desert like they were Mickey Thompson after they started “marketing” it with a TRD package.

    You can’t fix stupid.

    Interesting. The guy had bad luck for sure but then recommending a Jeep or Land Rover pretty much takes away all of his credibility. Those are hands down among the most unreliable vehicles on the market.

    He’s a 1%er of Tacoma owners.

    That entire saga start to finish is one man (loosely) acting like a ho.

    I emailed Toyota back with specific examples from other brands (with data available on the manufacturer website) and asked them questions if it is safe to drive in heavy rain and what’s flooded road in toyotas books etc...
    Let’s see how that goes:bananadead:

    I believe the "maximum incline" spec is still unanswered- if it's still open, would you be willing to pursue that question also?

    Funny how many on here actually believe his less than credible story posted on his website.

    All together now, stand up, raise your hand and say "I believe!"

    This ^

    As many have mentioned -

    - starts in San Francisco
    - quits job
    - brings baby on the trip

    From there it's just a sh#t show of entitlement, whining and stupidity.
