first import truck? new guy. hi!

hey...41 years old. still a kid inside. like my 4x4's and mud play. out here "on the island(long island, ny).

so thinking about actually making the leap to a japanese truck. i like the taco, but was wondering what some of the "known issues" are. i'm looking at '07 on up, 4x4.



thanks

have a nice day

 

Hey Joe, I was thinking the same thing. The Jap taco beats the current 'merican trucks. Go out for yourself and test drive them - you'll see.

 

welcome to TW.not very many issues,just need a lot of mods.

 

once you go jap, you never go back

 

yeah i work for a jap company so i don't mind paying a jap automaker(more american then american).

 

Welcome to TW Steve you'll...oh and by the way dude; Jap is not the preferred nomenclature, Asian American

 

Ya no crap right!? Japanese...come on guys

EDIT: oh and...welcome to TW...sincerely

 

thanks guys. been reading this forum for a few weeks but wasnt really able to find any info on known problems. whats the problem with theIFS? or is it the faxt thats its an IFS??

what kind of mods will i need to do. i dont do any hard wheeling anymore. i just want a pick up, and 4x4 for hunting and the snow.

 

My first mods were the tailgate hose clamp thing, and trimming of the front mud flaps. I am pretty sure I will add the console locker soon.

What is the IFS?

 

IFS= Independent Front Suspension, come on!

 

Not that I want you to change your mind but here is a thread about what people dislike about their Tacos.
