These other guys blowing through a shock on not very difficulty offroading. The pop heard around the world on TFL's truck. My guess is the hybrid system is so expensive that their doing everything they can to cut corners to keep the price from close to six figures. And their still stupid expensive.

[@Justmejbful]

The TRD PRO does not have "rock sliders." Those "sliders" on the PRO are meant to protect the body from rocks thrown up from high speed off roading. PROs are not meant to be rock crawlers. The Trailhunter is the version with proper rock sliders that can take the weight of the truck. Every new model has teething problems and that's why many ppl prefer to wait for the 2nd or 3rd year examples. I do agree though that Toyota's pricing is way too high!

[@djjd3027]

@Justmejbful ok fair enough as far as what I thought were rock sliders. Transmission issues I would chalk up to early issue bugs. But no bounce stops. According to Sheldon on tfl they used the same add as before and there were no issues. But the 3.5 v6 made 265ftlbs at 4600 rpm. The previous 4.0 v6 made 266 ftlbs at 4000 rpm. This engine makes around 300 and change around 2000 rpms totally different power curves. And they use the same component as before. Seems poorly thought out. I just can't get past the lack of bumpstops. There's all sorts of other things that are not good. I was a Toyota fan but what a debacle this truck and the tundra truly are. And the tundra has been out for around 3 years it's not new.

Own a 24 Tacoma since the release late winter, have 11,430 miles on it. No issues, more comfortable, smooth and responsive ride, more quiet, more power than my former 21 model. If I had any problems I'd be the first to complain. I'd like to see some accurate numbers of Tacoma sold along with accurate numbers of those sold with real problems. Otherwise it's all just hearsay to me.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

Toyota has confirmed transmission issues, they said it was with an "early batch" or something along those lines. The automatic issues and manual issues were two different problems, but in theory, they should be good from here out. This is all according to things I'm reading today/watching today. It's hard to know though, they said the same thing about the Tundra with engine issues and those carried on for years. I have heard the Taco seems a bit better built than the tundra for whatever reason, feels tighter/less wind noise etc...

[@doom4067]

They're not selling enough to get the data you want. My local dealer has at least 10 facing the street; no idea how many are farther into the lot. I'm not sure that's ever happened with the Tacoma.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

@@doom4067 taco sales are down for sure, they are still selling quite a few but, nowhere near what they used to. I think it’s a combination of reasons, prices higher, interest rates are higher and people want to avoid first model your problems.

[@JCB-m4t]

@@TheCarGuyOnline The price they're asking is hitting sales as hard as their technical glitches are. Uncertainty rules the sales figures.

[@alejofox10]

I hope you are right and thats why delaying the 4 runner.

[@ArkLeaf73]

You are right about all vehicle OEMs are struggling with quality in the past 1-2 years...shortage of skilled workers post Covid is hurting not only the OEMs but the entire supply chain. I suspect that this will continue for a couple of years until the entire system is corrected.

[@GregsBlueTacoma]

They've got a LOT to fix in order to revive the name. I remember the '05 and '06 had motor mount issues and gasket problems. Toyota fixed those issues after a couple years. Let's hope they do the same - and drop that ridiculous price tag. I'll go for another 2nd gen or 3rd.

[@JCB-m4t]

And don' forget the thousands of Tacos with frame rot. I owned one and never received full compensation as far as I was concerned.

[@maligkno]

The town i live here in mexico theres is 3 2024 tacomas and i own 1, 2 have transmision problems, min is been towed to the dealer next week, same problem

[@JCB-m4t]

I am sorry for you and hope your issues are quickly resolved.

[@AlowisciousMahoney]

For those saying “this is Toyota, they will fix this”, yeah, they will surely fix some of these issues, but this is not the same old Toyota. Part of what made Toyotas so reliable historically is that they kept things as simple as possible and then repeatedly improved from that baseline. These new pickups are ridiculously complex, and obviously cheaply made in many respects (“cutting corners” - yes, obviously) while concurrently being sold at relatively high prices. Toyota has for a long time been #1 overall for me, but not now, and I can’t see that changing in the very near future.

[@shawnn6926]

I'm driving a '17 TRD Sport with 113K and it still drive like brand new. Plan on keeping it for a very long time. I'm not brand loyal and might look at Frontier as my next one.

[@davidg3944]

The Ford "killer airbags" is due to a Japanese supplier (Takata) using a chemical mix for the gas generator that could become unstable over time when exposed to too much heat. So it's bad luck but not Ford's fault in this case. Turns out the bad design also killed Takata, which declared bankruptcy in June of 2017 under the weight of the recalls and lawsuits.

[@doom4067]

I drove a Subaru during that. They recalled my airbag, replaced it withe the exact same airbag, and then recalled the airbag again.

[@BA-gn3qb]

That one guy should market his fix to the shock top. I bet he would make some serious bank off that product.

[@jeremiahvazquez15]

Well at this point what manufacturer isn’t having problems or recalls? What truck should we get ?

So sad to hear this. I just bought a 2024 Tacoma. Having issues with the alarm system doesn’t let me start it, so far.

[@craigfin3222]

Cannot be 100% certain, since I don't know if it is or not made of aluminum. However, if it is, then that would explain why it broke. Steel has a much greater ability to flex, absorb impact and return to its normal shape compared to aluminum.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

Yeah looks like aluminum. Lots of new aluminum on all of the trucks to lighten them up.

[@goosedeathable]

Nissan needs to capitalize on this and move lots of Frontiers.

[@robertyoung8289]

They moved one to my garage and I couldn't be happier.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

So far the Frontiers have been pretty solid. Nissan gave itself a bad name with the CVTs and half the planet still thinks their trucks have CVTs :)

[@nvpoolshooter]

@TheCarGuyOnline I guess half the planet doesn't read. 🙄

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

As a longstanding Toyota loyalist, I purchased a brand new 2022 Frontier SV crew cab long bed and it's been bulletproof. Quiet, powerful, well-assembled. Toyota lost me as a customer. Their new trucks are hollow, cheap, and increasingly unreliable. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ridiculous styling of the new Tundra and Tacoma. The cartoonish alpha-bro styling is embarrassing.

[@AWDfreak]

​@@TheCarGuyOnlineIt's a pretty amusing thing to hear when Nissan has never put a CVT on any of their trucks.

[@JulietHotelFoxtrot]

All 30 people that bought frontiers last month are still happy with them.

[@2006gtobob]

Has Toyota done some DEI hiring in their engineering and management departments just prior to the development of their latest vehicles?

[@AJ-HawksToxicFinger]

Moved their manufacturing to Mexico and there's issues...? Who could have guessed....

[@stoptellingmewhattowrite]

Tacoma has been made in Mexico for years... it's really Toyota management culture as a whole going down. Their moto/ideals/values has drastically changed to just "good enough" from yesteryear's "bulletproof".

[@AustinH7]

They always were made in Mexico. They’ve always been junk. The media is just no longer protecting Toyotas “reliable image” it’s finally ok to openly call out their crap quality.

[@XloMotion]

As expected Let's blame the assembly line like all these issues are assembly related 😂😂😂 How about the bad design? Cheap parts? Cost cutting?

[@doom4067]

These are problems with the design, not with the manufacturing.

[@pabdel86]

😂😂 Yes Sure Design issue is now Manufacturing issue 😂😂

[@ralphkeith2905]

In 4 or 5 years when the truck has 80k miles on it, will the hybrid battery system reduce, increase or have no impact on resale? I would prefer a non-hybrid, but like the Trailhunter.

[@claudiodiez55]

I bought a 2023 Tacoma sport 6000 miles no problems .I was not going for the 2024.

If you use the bracket for the top strut you can’t use any spacer lift on new Tacoma just FYI.

[@ImOnlyaMAN88]

No more overbuilt trucks, it’s built for fuel efficiency like a car. The bump stop on the shock mounts is a fail. They need to go back to frame mounted bump stops.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

Yeah looks like a very weak design on the shock.

[@Kenneth_R]

Just dont buy new Toyota trucks. Let them rot on the lots. Toyota has to learn the hard way.

[@vettle1]

[@christophershelton7272]

It's no surprise to see 4runner sales up on the last year model of the 5th Gen 4runner. People know what's coming with the redesign 4runner, add the issues reported on the New Tacoma it just makes since to buy the most reliable model vs gambling on the new one. Hopefully, by year 3 of the 6th Gen 4runner the bugs will be worked out, and the reliability outlook will be better.

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

I really like the looks of the new 4runner. I hope they get their issues figured out. Too many new vehicles on new platforms for Toyota....almost impossible to get it all right IMO.

[@SL-ed4vg]

I bought a brand new 2021 Chevy Colorado LT in 2020. It has V6, Crew Cab with 6' bed, tow package, convenience package, bed lining, metallic blue ($600 😡).....out the door with all the fees,etc, for $32,500. Coming up 4 years and still no issues. I wanted a Toyota but can't afford one. I had a budget of $33,000.

[@JCB-m4t]

You may be lucky that you couldn't afford it...

[@TXCHRISZ06]

This is why I keep my old Toyota and Lexus vehicles...paid off and never lets me down.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

More reasons why keeping your Toyota/Lexus pre-2022 or 2023 when they re-did every vehicle they have on the market. I would argue though it isn't just Toyota but Ford and GM and pretty much everyone minus Honda. Outside of the issues they had at the beginning of the 1.5 turbo Honda has been able to stay relatively clean with recall and just trashy manufacturing issues. I am a 2021 Tundra owner and my wife has a 2020 Acura MDX that we bought both of them brand new, and I told my wife we are owning these for the long-haul at least 20 years each. She agreed nothing out there is worth buying.

[@JCB-m4t]

Not any more. Honda is in deep trouble with thousands of recalls from what I have read.

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

@ thousands?

[@nicksmith8166]

My local Toyota dealer is JAMMED with brand new Tacomas and Tundras that are not selling. My local Nissan dealer is selling frontiers by the truckload and has a ton of last gen Tacomas in the used section. Glad I bought my Frontier before the mad rush for them.

I stayed with the “old school” 2023 4.0L 4Runner. I hope it lasts like the past…

[@NATOHA-64]

Ya the 4Runners have a V6 in them and the Tacoma has a 4 cylinder in it so Ya they sold more 4Runners

[@justaname109]

To be honest, I’m wondering if the jump in sales on the 2024 4 runner is just people rushing to get theirs before the 2025 comes out.

[@nigeriaroberts678]

I'm generally confused about the "money shift" issue that I've heard happen to manual transmissions in both a Tacoma and GR Corolla. How can a gear box allow a shift from 5th to 1st? I've been driving manual transmissions for ten years with most being Hondas. Usually there is a lockout mechanism that prevents from shifting to a lower gear at rpm that the gear can't handle. I've heard autorev is allowing for these mis-shifts to unintentionally occur, not sure if this is the case.

[@bigsmoke279]

I drive a 2016 Tacoma with 175k miles no issues. I’ve also had a 06 Camry with 220k miles before someone totaled it. I have a 2016 Camry with 150k miles, no issues. Had an 03 tundra 240k miles All vehicles with no issues.

[@TheLogitech91]

How are they going to continue to sell the old 4Runner when they have stopped production?

[@Tacoexplorer]

Did Toyota even test these off road? Unacceptable.

[@doom4067]

They had to have tested them; they just didn't care.

[@crosisofborg5524]

I paid $25k for my new 2009 V6 access cab Tacoma. Fully loaded 4x4 with TRD off road package. It’s still going strong. There’s no way I would trade it in for a new Tacoma. They are over twice the cost of mine and not nearly as rugged.

[@jackcobbiii1797]

Our 21 Tundra has a bent spindle yet they looked at at 11000 miles did an alignment and never told me then. Now at 28000 it’s out of warranty by thirty days and they refuse to warranty;( we drove five hrs one way to get the last 21 on the east coast and the ball joint has popped from day one. Sorry service when the local dealership hangs up on you multiple times.

[@noelsianjavier6723]

Okay they say you can look it up to see if you taco 24 got the bad batch . my question is even you get the good batch will it still have those problems? i want to get new gen tacoma , but damn there is way too much problems etc etc. price here in alberta canada i guess its decent ? there is one dealer is selling TRD offroad+ sport $53k candian dollar .

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

Tough to say, only time will tell. I did get an email from a viewer that had one transmission fail, got a replacement, then looks like he's having issues with the replacement....it's very hard to know if the issue was just with a small batch or not.

[@noelsianjavier6723]

Oh well, i guess i'll wait it out. i like 3rd gen but intereior is pretty basic for $55k used .

[@KTown_Painter]

I'm hoping mine doesn't act up. It's such a huge improvement in drive quality from the 3rd gen.
