    Has anyone seen an actual transmission failure in the 3rd generation tacoma yet? And not caused by an idiot doing something they shouldn't have to the truck

    Toyota made the shift points annoying so the transmission will last 80,000,000 miles.

    3rd gen is the best gen, you heard it here 1st. Bulletproof trans, best MPG, last V6, fits 35s stock (with portals), best headlights. Buy 'em up and put them in a time capsule for your grandkids to enjoy for generations to come.

    Nah. But some where defective from new and Toyota just lumped them in with the common 3rd gen drivability complaints, and then disregarded those complaints entirely. See, to Toyota- a transmission is operating as intended so long as the vehicles moves under its own power. At least Toyota Canada, anyway.

    No. The AC60 is beefed up over the A750, so it has an easy life in the Taco.
