Reliability problems .

A popular consumer reporting magazine is predicting the reliability of the 3rd gen Tacoma to be worse than any other compact pickup . I asked them to explain in detail why they feel that way and the answer might be published in an upcoming issue . Anybody out there with major issues of reliability yet ? I reached 10,000 miles and no problems yet . I bought it to drive and for resale value in the future [sold my 2007 tacoma doublecab 2wd with 60,000 miles for $18,500 in California and I am hoping to sell this Limited in the future for alot more . Reliability problems anybody ?

850 miles so far and no issues

 

New record!!!




Jk

 

Im sure those same idiots say that the GM twins are the most reliable and everyone knows thats a load

 

Insurance paid out 19,500 on my 2007 dclb sr5 prerunner. I have had only the one issue with the clucking in the rear end when coming to a stop, but tightened up the u bolts and others. She starts and running good, coming up on 8000 miles.

 

Do GM cars make it to 850 miles without issues ?

 

I noticed Consumer Reports dropped the Tacoma to Below Average Reliability, its not an Anti-Toyota thing either because every other single Toyota and Lexus Model finished Above Average.

 

I don't think so lol

 

Kudos to the guy above who has racked up 850 trouble free miles. That's awesome

 

I haven't bought mine yet.

Zero issues.

What do I win?

 

I know I'm lame! I'm a plumber by occupation and have a work van the company provides me with. So barely drive her

 

You win by knowing that you can still buy a 2nd gen.

 

Yes i mentioned the reliability of all Toyota models to the Consumer Reports and them predicting worse for Tacoma , can't wait to see what they say .

 

Does this count?

No they don't but rate them above the Tacoma .

 

I had to have the actuator in my transfer case replaced at 11,000 miles because it wouldn't shift into 4x4. At first, I was told the limit switch was not set correctly. After it was "properly adjusted" and I was sent on my way, I tried engaging 4hi driving off the lot and same issue, so I turned around and was like nice try. They changed the actuator and it shifts in and out of 4wd lickety split.

I also am waiting for a backordered front differential bearing to get replaced because the service department said that was the culprit to the low speed rumble strip like vibrations I am experiencing.

 

No shit. Glad I'm in no hurry to buy. I've got a few more months to make a decision.
