I can't seem to stay away from reading 3rd gen posts

Your idea of constructive? Or even accurate re. the original statement you were replying to? It appears as if you just want to fight. Mind you, I'm coming at you from an unbiased, female perspective, no pride issues or desire to be mean~ you really are being a negative Ned & that's pretty much rubbing noses with complainers and whiners ...

 

I have both and they're both great and trouble free vehicles.
But If I had paid attention to all the drama and B/S here, I would have missed out on the best truck I've owned so far. The 4R is more plush though, even if we compare ltd to ltd and SR5 to SR5. I have no complaints other than the 4R is better appointed with amenities, but you do pay a little more for it.

Cheers!

 

Ignore him...he is a troll

 

I can't speak for everybody on this forum but let me break down my personal take one time...

When it comes to the GEN3, I was excited by the prospect of Toyota releasing a Tacoma that brings the truck into modern times. My intent was to swap out my 2014 for one but that plan changes once the GEN3 was released...a step backwards, or treading water at best, in my opinion.

On to discussions within this forum...if a vehicle has problems I'd say a forum dedicated to that vehicle would be the place to discuss them. If discussing issues or shortcomings, hopefully addressing those in the process, gets fan-boy panties in a bunch, oh-well.

If those who bought 2016 are happy with their purchase that is great. If they're not concerned with the many issues, or they prefer to defend Toyota and/or their purchase, that is grewat too. But it if they try to attack those who take an honest/objective look at the GEN3 that is pretty lame.

Bottom line...I'm disappointed with Toyota's approach with the GEN3, both in their half-asses approach and their poor execution. Unless they adress those two things the reputation they build with previous generations will be long gone before we know it.

Just my two cents. Have a great weekend!

 

You the real MVP!!

@ChadsPride @Tractorman

 

problem is you read about a new issue then i go look for it in my truck. like reading about a symptom for some disease then you think i have that!!!
think next time i am around someone with a new 2016 i will ask how they like it and when they say they love it i will ask them if they know about the forum, bet 9 out of 10 say no.....

 

Not you, the guy I quoted
I just wanted you and Tractorman to know that @dmharvey79 is the real mvp

 

You begin hearing things if you hangout here as a '16 owner, and the 2nd gen guys get their jolly's off lolo!

 

Wth!??!?!

 

Sorry bro. He just posted some really real shit. MVP type shit. Real MPV type shit.

 

I read it. I liked it. Being an MVP is a big deal man.

 

I think he's ready.

 

I gotta text you this week man. Got something kinda cool you may or may not like coming down the pipeline.

P.s. I think he needs a little more seasoning before MVP status is achieved. But post like that are what the recruiters are looking for....

 

good.

 

I do what I can...

 

You do/did good

 

Hey, I have had my 2016 for a week now and I have scoured this forum looking for potential problems. I must have bought a different model than some around here, because my truck aint doing anything I would call even mildly irritating and I consider myself kinda super picky. It's 100% so far, even the tranny and no TSB service yet either. For reference I have also had 1989, 1993, and 2003 Toyota pickups all 100,000+ miles, so I know the breed. This is the best one yet! 20 MPG's and 6 cylinders, gotta love that.
