Build Quality of Mexico vs US Tacomas

Well, Dana was an American company and look how well that turned out for us... Nothing about Japanese vehicles being made on this continent makes me happy.

 

You can have them made in Japan if you want to pay $5k more.

 

If I ever buy another new Toyota, I may just do that.

 

It'll have to be a four runner or a Land Cruiser. That's all that's left

 

I thought you meant a Tacoma...

 

The Tacoma is only sold in North America, which is why it's built here.

 

Yeah I know, that's why you confused me there. Thought you were exposing a secret Japanese built Tacoma option...

 

Ha! Nope. Unless you can find a way to import a Hilux. The only people that can now are the U.S. Military.

 

In any case, my truck was built in TX, bought brand new. I had to have the entire rear window & assembly replaced the 1st year because of a faulty SRW latch, and it's rusting with only 19k mi... The dealer tech tried to tell me I was closing the SRW incorrectly.

 

Ha! What year? The Texas plant opened in 2011

 

2011...

 

I think the Toyota truck plants now run 3 shifts 7 days a week.

Hilux is built in Thailand (RHD) and Argentina (LHD). Hilux isn't even sold in Japan anymore, according to Wikipedia.

 

Interesting. I wonder if they even fill the P/U market in Japan then.

Cute

 

Looks terrible like that, plasti-dip the logo!! That'll fix it.

 

Yup.

The only difference I noticed with trucks for the Canucks, is they get a different speedometer than the fat Americans get.

 

All the Japanese Toyotas on that page looked really weird...
