[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1831542, member: 35543"] Not sure why people feel the need to constantly repeat “reliable” multiple times whenever a Toyota vehicle is brought up. Apparently a defense mechanism or excuse for offering an outdated, and in many cases worst in class product that people blindly purchase based on a badge and a farce that it will not need repairs. Which of course is not only inaccurate, but simply ridiculous. Personally, I’ve made more than a decent amount of money repairing said vehicles that supposedly “never break”. As have Toyota dealers and every other independent repair facility. Toyotas products are not “more reliable” than other brands, they simply take the least amount of risk possible while capitalizing on their extremely loyal and brainwashed audience. These are the people spending $60,000 on a japanese designed pickup built in Mexico that shares its Atkinson cycle engine with a minivan, and is the subject of multiple class action lawsuits for the frames rusting out and breaking in half. The Japanese certainly took advantage when GM, Ford, and Chrysler made the foolish decision to exit the midsize pickup segment. But hard to blame them for that; the midsize Japanese pickups became the only game in town. The 2023 Taco continues the cheap, outdated legacy of Toyota by still using drum brakes…at this point it’s it’s the only vehicle that is not a base model compact car on the market with drum brakes. Only a toyota loyalist could excuse that, and it would still be ridiculous. As far as the 2024 Tacoma…it’s supposed to share its platform with the new Tundra. Which so far has been less than impressive, and after seeing one in person on a lift today, it’s not even competitive. [/QUOTE]
