    Now thats bad...
    :rofl:
    Worst Toyota quality vehicle ever for sure... I wonder if Toyota is planning to sack production of Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia.

    I don't know if people realized but Toyota did not unveil 2017 redesigned Tundra this year. with frame issues on old Tacomas, and new Tacoma having quality of Gremlin or Punto or Chrysler.... its getting really interesting.

    No look at 3rd gen forum, you name it and they have problem with.
    Whats scary is that they have issue with main components, like engines that self destroy in first couple hundred miles, transmissions dead, transfer cases that strip gears and rear diffs that simply quit.
    Never mind small things like water leaking inside, or howling noise from the stupid things, and MPG worse than Land Cruiser driving in 4low.
    Its crazy. In fact 3gen forum has probably more problems than Coloradofans forum.
    :sadviolin:
    look how many there are used 3gens now, people ditching them pretty quickly.

    Massive issue with the lunch and that is only the begging, once people start putting miles on those trucks its going to turn to real crapfest.

    Super pumped when I hear the '16s were going to be a redesign. Could not wait to trade in my '01 and rock a new Taco. Then I saw them and couldn't get past the fugly front end. A real person got paid actual money to come up with that. And other people sat around and said "wow that looks great, let's go with it". And then I bought a '15. The end.

    My local dealership seems stopped ordering them. I asked sales guy how they selling and he said they selling them, they sold one last week :)

    Believe it or not, there is $750 discount on 3gen. I have not seen discount at my local dealership on 2gen since ever.. in the meantime new model has discount.

    Really haven't given it a thought in a while. Just enjoying my 15... Maybe a little too much, about to hit 16,000 and she's only 9 months old. Oh and then there is the chip in the windshield.

    I wonder what the future of the redesign is. Because I really don't think it went as well as planned. It seems like most people don't like it lol.

    I've said it a million times, but Toyota really isn't competitive in the truck market. It never really was and I don't think Toyota intends to change that. The Tundra is for guys for think the Toyota emblem means a truck that lasts a lifetime and is loyal to the brand. The configuration types and engine (or lack there of) choices just doesn't compare to GMC, Chevy, Ram, and Ford.

    I still think Ford makes the worlds best trucks. SD redesign is saweeet.

    The Ram Rebel looks bad ass but... you know... rust.
