Meh. I love my 2nd gen tacoma. I've heard there are some other issues with the 3rd gens. Sorry that this has happened to you. I don't think I'll ever trade in my 2nd gen for a 3rd.... I'd be down grading.

This post is either a subtle way of saying it is somehow your fault and Toyota is awesome.
Or Your troubles further validate my choice of vehicle. |

There is a reason I bought a 2015 just before the run ended. Wasn't impressed with a lot of the 2016s ''improvements'' to include the engine and double OD transmission. [that honestly, the engine doesn't have enough oomph to pull 6th in]
I think that ANYTHING Toyota builds in Japan is 10 times better then a US or Mexican made one. Build difference between even my FJ [Japan] and Taco is quite noticeable. Not impressed with fancy shit in a pickup [even a little one] all I care for is if the damn thing works, lasts a decent amount of time and has decent resale value. |

I've heard a lot of bad things about the new tacomas. My buddy has had nothing but problems with his 2017 as well ill try to get a list of all his issues.

Those are made in Japan and they kept the 4.0L V6 in them. (THat is all 4Runners that is... I just want the TRD Pro for the nice interior and upgraded suspension) |

Don't even get me started on that shitty ass transmission. Hurr durr lets sit at 3500 rpm because there's a fucking hill a mile away. Cruise control was fucking HORRIBLE with that trans. I forgot about that until you mentioned it. Finally shifted a total of like 25 sec. Had enough time to grab my phone, record it, and still have 10 seconds of it sitting there for no reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPMw7yL8nM View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Sounds like it was totally worth flushing our American manufacturing economy down the toilet over these Japanese cars.

boy i just love reading lemon threads. later this week i will pick up my first-ever new car, and first new Japanese car anyone in my family has ever purchased since the dawn of time. 2016 4runner trail prem. wish me luck.

I have a 2005 Tacoma with over 100K and no significant problems so far.
There was a series of recalls on that truck and a new set of problems as the years went by from year to year. I would have thought by now, Toyota would have pulled it all together from experience alone and made a truck that was somewhat problem free. I amazes me to hear of all the problems cropping up with the newest version of a well known truck. If this kind of stuff keeps up, it will not be long before the Toyota reputation his the pooper. |

My '95 was trouble free save for wear and tear items for well over 200k.
OP's truck sucked and I would have been ridding somebody's asshole until it was fixed. |

I'd be inclined to agree - but the interior is SO much nicer on the third gen. Only reason I ended up getting one, then my issues came up.

Lol half my last suburban was made over seas. Why bother with the buy USA mantra when your U.S. Brand is using Chinese castings and components. Btw I had an 01 and an 04 burban and the build quality really nosedived between the two. Squeeze a nickel and raise the price.

The people who moan about American made make me laugh. Ford with how many hecho en Mexico parts? The foreign car companies that come here to build like BMW, VW, Toyota,... tend to bring in a huge supply chain of parts mfgs that are also made here by US workers. I've been in and out of domestic and foreign owned car mfgs as well as their supplier plants all my adult life. Your Grandpa's made in the USA GM/Chevy/Ford does not exist any longer. Everything is global. I do not know the exact parts count but I would wager BMW's have more US made stuff in them than Ford or GM. Even though the bumpers and plastic body panels for both are made right up the road from me at a French owned company.
BTW just rolled over 391,000 on my 96 Taco. |

Mid-August I purchased a brand new 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4. It was a decent truck, but had too many issues in too short of a time period. I've already traded it in (thank you great resale value) and picked up Mustang number 6. Those who have picked up a third gen (or are planning to), these are my issues and may be the same for you. All happened within 2 months of purchasing the truck and it wasn't ever abused. 1 - LOUD differential whine. Started at 500 miles. Originally would happen from 35-70 but now when I traded it in, it was only happening from 50-70. Dealer said they do not know what it is and don't know how to fix it. Looking at the Tacoma forums, it seems to be limited to TRD offroad models which would suggest that the issue has something to do with the E-locker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY3OdUt6Zko View Quote I don't have a TRD Offroad, but my 2016 does howl. I can hear the howl whenever I take my foot off the gas. I put tape over the holes in the lower control arms to stop the front end howl which was kind of annoying when it was windy. |
