Am a fan of Scotty and he is on par with all his videos. I have a 3rd generation Tacoma made in Mexico and it has the same quality as my dad's that was made in the US. Quality is definitely there for Toyota. They take pride in their work on manufacturing and remember auto components are shipped from different places.

[@jasonatr0n]

I've had a Japan-made Impreza, and a newer US(Indiana) built Impreza, both hatchbacks (not wrx). Both are about the same quality, hard to really tell. I think it's neat to have a car made in Japan though.

I would never buy a car that was made in Mexico. A friend started to move her entire box and paper company to Mexico, but it was hard to find workers who would come on time. They liked to party.

[@johnappleseed9290]

Ok so let me get this straight.. you won’t buy a car in Mexico, because your “friend” box and paper company couldn’t find workers; therefore it correlated with the way manufacturing autos in Mexico all of a sudden is a no for you? I am baffled with how ignorant that sounds. Toyota has been the big auto giant in terms of reliability since the day it was created, the workers manufacturing these cars in Mexico are held at high standards you can’t base how one company runs their business to another.

[@ratherbfishing455]

@@johnappleseed9290 I live in a border state and the quality of all products that I have used from Mexico is bad. I have a refrigerator and a TV that do not line up. The produce, cookies and crackers are bad also. The poor are not educated. Mexico does not have a middle class. Hopefully, Toyota has culled the lazy workers like they did at the San Antonio truck plant. A coworker had at least six interviews. BTW, a friend has had Taco trucks for the last 25 years, and his new one is full of plastic and he said that it does not feel like a truck. A friend has a BMW, and it has been a money pit.

FYI - Toyota's 3.5 Liter V6, used in several models, including the Tacoma in this video, burns the valve on the #1 cylinder, and it costs approximately $7,000 to repair with the parts costing $3,800, the balance being labor. The problem seems to affect owners who baby the engine. Those who drive the car in a spirited manor, don't seem to have the issue. The most reliable engine Toyota has on the market currently is the tried and true 4.0 Liter V6 5 speed automatic, in the 4Runner.

[@luisinhoens90]

$7K, really? Wouldn't a head replacement solve the issue? Since valves are mounted up there, just saying. If this is true, then even a Pentastar V6 with the early valve seat and roller follower issues is cheaper to fix; a head is around $2K

I would like to reiterate that Mexico has many wonderful things coming from the hard work of it's indigenous peoples. Please be mindful of this and try not to insult the integrity of these employees and artisans who have dedicated such long hours toward the assembly of Toyota trucks and other items. They are not substandard because they are made or assembled in Mexico. That is blatant discriminatory language being used toward the wrong target. Instead look at the source, if Toyota were providing the best leadership, management, and training possible then maybe there would be less to poke fun at. Why blame the laborers?
