Read OP's story at his original post as he said. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-2017-turd-and-screwed-by-toyota.488804/

-took it for a test drive, didn't like how the transmission shifts, still purchased the truck.
-Paid way too much, with bad interest rate over a long period. Should not be allowed to purchase big ticket items himself. Sorry but it's true.
-Had the well known CP sensor failure. That sucks, but Toyota fixed it.
-OP has issues with the transmission, which a lot of people complain about. That's a legitimate issue.

But you test drove it, didn't like it, and not only still bought it but paid so much you'll be screwed on resale. Toyota didn't screw you, you screwed yourself.

Those things are like prostate cancer. Stick around long enough and you're pretty much guaranteed to get it.

I always recommend to potential buyers of the Automatic to do a minimum of an Overnight Test Drive so they don't end up here creating a Thread a month later asking what's wrong with the transmission.

@OP, Trade it in for an F-150, Ram or Colarado...

I really think there should be a post about things to look out for before taking delivery on a new truck. Oh wait...

@OP

Please consider putting

As the last choice on your survey. ..
Thanks

I have an 017 TRD offroad, has only been back to the dealer once for the transmission update, no problems other than that. All of them aren't scrap iron, I really like mine.

smitty99 · May 16, 2017

If they dropped a small V8 in the tacoma or supercharger in these 3.5L I think it would help. Also bump up the rear gear ratio on the automatic to a 4.30 might help as well. As for quality lacking, that's a much more perplexing issue.

UrbanT@co · May 16, 2017

I didn't see the voting option...this is a very big oversight OP!

- The riff raff driving them.

Ooh...and IBTL.

I've gotten away with much worse but perhaps the ice is thin enough now.
