I know this is 4chan so its cool to be contrarian and act like toyota sucks since the rest of the internet loves them but im looking for real opinions. Do you think 3rd gen tacomas will have the same reliability that the 1st gen tacoma built its reputation off of? Do you think you will see '21 tacomas still on the road in the 2040s, the way you still see '04 tacos being driven today?
depends if the VIN starts with a J or not
>>29069950Pretty sure all 3rd gen tacomas were manufactured in mexico
>>29069953looks like 1st gens were built in california, so also mexicans. I'd guess they'll be good rather than bad. 3rd gen never had a bad rep from what I saw, and I'm sure there are plenty out there with 200k on the clock already. Forum nerds will have good info, they love telling each other what parts should be upgraded and posting pictures when things go wrong.
I always wanted to love the first gen Tacoma but trucks aren't supposed to do this.
>>29069961it's all about the rust belt, just avoid examples from snow areas.
>>29069964My coworker has a Dodge Ram from the Clinton administration with rust holes in the front fenders big enough to fit your fist through but the frame is still solid. The most important quality in a pickup truck is its structural integrity. Toyotas are great and all but domestic automakers just make better trucks.
>>29069948We'll be pushing shopping carts with all our belongings in them in the 2040s, trying to evade cannibals.
>>29069961That’s an autobot
>>29069961
>>29070075Found one the other day for 7500I passed Id rather put 20k into my truckOp, who caresJust buy the truck you want and drive itIf it breaks, fix itYour other options are what? Ford? Chevy?
>>29070172I've owned every GenEach new gen is better than the last 1154k in 1st when I was tboned3 something on my 2nd80k on my 3rdPre 19s were made in TexasCoincidentally, you actually want the made in Mexico ones probably
>>29070175*154k oopsie
>>29069948J
>>29069953It doesn't matter, it's an engineering issue first, and no fabricator is able to deal with the insane tolerances demanded by the engineering standards derived through analytical software, instead of through conventional practices were safety margins and parts were over-built for good measure.
>>29069948Provided it’s got a 2GR it’s got a solid chance
