    Not sure what you are getting at? I don't speak Spanish, so I'm guessing your making some kind of snarky remark about reliability because the truck is made in Mexico?

    I can't speak for all Mexican built Tacoma's, but I have had six 2nd gen Tacoma's, and I was just telling my wife how this 2014, Off-Road, 4x4, Double Cab I just picked up on Sundays appears to be the best one yet.

    Didn't even realize till I looked at the window sticker, that it was made in Mexico.

    So far, this Mexican built tuck....

    -Does not have the steering wheel clunk over bumps and uneven surfaces like the other five 2nd gens I've owned had. Well to be fair, I didn't notice the clunk in either of the five lug models I had '06 & '07.

    -The engine tick in this 4.0L is almost silent, the 2010 PreRunner, 4.0L I had was really loud.

    -My new trucks rear springs do not squeak or sag noticeably.

    -There are almost zero paint imperfections on my new Sky Silver Met Off-Road. The 2014 US built Super White Tacoma I just traded, had several runs in the paint, along with visible air-bubbles, orange peel etc..

    -My new Off-Road also has the tightest, most direct feeling steering of any Tacoma I've ever driven, has a really good weighted feel compared to my last trucks.

    -There is also zero drivetrain vibration in this Mexican built truck, that seems to be going on with everyone else's. Trust me, I have had a few newer Ford truck's and a Dodge Ram, my brain is programmed to look & feel for drivetrain vibes.

    I could go on & on, but if anything I feel like the quality on my Mexican built Tacoma is the best I've seen, nothing to see here really folks.

    Mine was made I'm Texas, which isn't particularly different than Mexico.

    This thread is racist as fuck, and OP is Canadian. Extra r-eh-cist!

    I'd buy something made in Canada too, but your shit doesn't stink. Do you buy american made products or are they shit also?
    Not sure if being a racist was your main goal here..

    Wow. I didn't think Mexican was a race.
    If I said your Tacoma was made in China I don't think your reaction would be the same.

    Sure is.

    I wouldn't care if my truck was made at your house. It's a Toyota brand, their parts, their service, their reputation.

    If it was assembled by fish I couldn't care less if it ran and drove the same as it does now.

    So American is a race? Canadian is a race? Where did you go to school?

    I lived in Austin from 2002-2004, I'm qualified to make such a statement. Although Austin is more like an extension of California.

    Texan is a race. I feel discriminated against.
    Tear down this thread Mr Gorbachev.
