Amen

fanboys are fanboys, regardless of make..more people slam Toyota than the other way around.

+2010V6RAV4 of course everybody love Toyota, because they are the best cars in the war. Even IsIs love them.

+s50201 No! my opinion is the greatest voice in all the land lol

Great comment man. very true. competition is a good thing

+s50201 Definitely right. Just look at the 2016 Tacoma! Completely refreshed, and I can honestly thank GM for that because without that nice 2015 GM twins, the Tacoma wouldn't have had this nice refreshing look and interior.

Yah, 4x4 and 3.5 ecoboost ..... call it the 'OUTLAW'

Ford and Chevy need to make them Manual Trans :P

I think I heard a rumor that they are going to bring it back before long. I know Toyota is coming out with a new Tacoma in 2016 now that GM has fired up the segment again. I'm liking that Outlaw idea too.

Noah R Chevy ditched it's entire manual transmission engineering team back in 2010 I think? Maybe it was 2008 actually. Can't remember. But basically Chevy's theory is there isn't enough market to justify the production costs. Talk about car company suicide imo though. I'll likely never own a car without a clutch.

Dirtyharry70585 The 2.7 ecoboost would be my pick for a mid-size. That thing gets 26? mpg in the F150 and still has more torque and power (325hp/375ftlbs) than V8's with twice the displacement from a decade ago (5.4L 3valve from 2004 - 300hp/365ftlbs) and more power than even the 6.2L V10 Triton had (305hp/425ftlbs), and certainly more power than any other V6 in the segment. The fuel economy of that engine coupled with the superior performance of anything else being put in a mid-size would be the logical choice.

Patrick DePriest hahah good one

Patrick DePriest are you on drugs?

*damn....as in damn, what happened to my Tacoma frame?!

***** thats all you have??? the frame, if you are gonna diss one the best trucks ever you gonna need a little more then that

roxas the rogue Yeah, no problem dude. The frame is absolutely nothing to worry about. Whether it's all there, or down to 60% holding everything together, NO WORRIES, right? Do you sell used cars or something?

***** i fix cars ive been a mechanic for almost 2 years and ya there frame isnt the strongest but it gets the job done isnt that what a truck is meant to do? get the job done.

roxas the rogue Get's the job done? Remove 40% of your skeleton (it's kind of like a frame) and see how many jobs you get done. Bet you won't even be able to walk. Have you seen the Toyota Tacoma frame videos on KZfaq? Go ahead, have a look.

You clearly are another true american... can't grasp the idea of a " American truck " being beat by Toyota for over a decade. Oh and just a FYI... if you live up north all cars rust. Thank the city using salt to resolve the snow problem buddy. Clearly you know nothing of trucks.

EMMA RODZ Rust on domestics is a thing of the past. Toyotas are famous for frame rust even in southern states where no snow or salt is on the roads. How do you explain that? Over 800,000 Tacomas were eyed for this issue, but Toyota never issued a recall. Denial--The Toyota Way. What "American Truck" was "beat" by Toyota for over a decade? You can't beat a thing without a proper frame.

***** every single comment you say "toyota and frame rust " and you have zero evidence to back your shit up ...STFU hippie , go play with toys , you know shit

Ara J Toyota is dead, where's the PRO? LOL!

www.goodcarbadcar.net/2015/03/usa-pickup-truck-sales-figures-february-2015-ytd.html guys check this link , Tacoma in 2015 sells more than twin GM combined whaaaaat :D lolll

I agree, you have no brain for buying a Tacoma. The frames evaporate before your eyes. No diesel either. What's it like being stupid???

Goliath fired you up.

***** That was pretty good.

i have NOTHING against a tacoma, but they have horrible frames. nothing wrong with a colorado either, both will last as long as you need them. i have a 99 silverado that is all stock, and i brought it to a shop today for a service and the mechanic couldent believe it was stock

***** Toyota fixed the frame issue in 2002 where the fuck have you been?

Tim Enzenauer Hell the 2015 tacoma is blowing it away in sales

Matthew Vader one of my friends just by one last month. He is really happy.

all three are body on frame, the frontier is the truck version of the xterra, and the colorado is the baby brother of the silverado

snwman91 colorado is actuallyl a rebadged Isuzu Dmax

okay, thanks guys!

To David Stanley- The new colorado is not a rebadged Isuzu... It only shares a couple nuts and bolts and I think the roof from the over seas version, but the frame and interior and exterior are all brand new. Frame is a smaller version of the Silverado, while the exterior is a lot sportier and great to look at, the interior relates it self to the Silverado as well with some differences. So no it's not rebadged.

The Tacoma has been known to be body on no frame. You're welcome : D

they could have done so much more. I'm getting the diesel colorado

+rEdBulLXtaSy rusting frames and snapping leaf springs a few years back were enough to keep me away , bought a 15 colorado havent looked back great truck

+Andrew C How do you like it a month later?

Quadrunner its actually been almost 10 now and still love it, hasnt given me any grief.

Great to hear! Thanks

GM will outsell anything from Japan by at least 4:1

***** You think that because they outsell their a superior product? I can give multiple example's of different comparisons. That's flawed logic and everyone knows it.

***** you mean Tacoma is outselling 2:1 right now...

Nissans are junk. Surpassed only by Dodge/Fiat products.

Another delusional fanboy. All around champ at making it's frame disappear. Wake up and get a real truck.

Lmao yeah over 60% of the segment's frames are just disappearing right? Dumbshit I still see '80s Toyota pickups driving up and down where I live. BTW explain a "real" truck. I hope you're not talking about a towing and hauling bc if so you're in the wrong area. And I do drive a real truck I own a Tundra. Wish I had one of these too though. And trust me my truck is very reliable, and dependable. I know I can drive it daily like I do, take it into the woods every once in a while and put it to work each weekend like it does and be worry free. Faggot

02to06TUNDRAFAN A real truck is one that looks good, is updated, offers a lot of options, and isn't considered flimsy or for girls only, like the Tacoma and the Tundra. What a bad ass you must be where you live driving a flimsy, gasoline only, wanna-be Tundra. Guess what asshat, I see 80's 70's 60's 50's and sometimes 40's (Willy's) US trucks driving around, and at least four times as many as your beloved Imperial Japanese, Johnny come lately, POS Tundra. All Fords, GM and Dodge/Ram trucks are top in reliability, and aren't famous for evaporating their frames. No need to wash those frames off in frigid weather to keep the rust from eating them, LIKE TOYOTA FRAMES NEED. "take it into the woods every once in a while and put it to work each weekend"....BWAHAHAH you're SUCH a bad ass.....NOT! Try heavy duty work in construction, oil refineries, farms, public service duty! I know for a fact the girly and flimsy Tundra will tear it's tailgate if you put more than 100lbs on it! Has your dashboard melted yet, just 'cuz? You've watched too many Tundra commercials my friend, and you are living in a marketing falsehood; the REAL trucks are out there working, not jaunting through the woods or getting groceries on the weekends! You sir, get the question: What's it like to be not only stupid, but completely and thoroughly laughable?

***** Lul. You hate on toyotas so much, I bet you're too poor to have driven a wide variety of trucks. First thing, the tacoma has long since overcome the frame rot problem, and is no longer an issue. I owned the last gen colorado and that piece of shit had frame rust and paint rusting out in 2 years and constant electrical issues. The tacoma is a leader in the midsize class, no horrible plastic interior like the colorados had/have, and better looking than the frontier's bland interior. It's the most reliable and extremely capable offroad. The tundra is a good truck....if you want a luxury truck for 90% road useage, I will agree that it is not good as a workhorse or as offroad capable as the first gen tundra was. "Try heavy duty work in construction" which you clearly don't do, otherwise you wouldn't be looking at midsize trucks. ALL of the major trucks out there have their upsides and downsides. "All Fords, GM and Dodge/Ram trucks are top in reliability" LOL. So that's why our work f350 powerjokes are always having engine issues right? And the chevrolets having electrical issues, and the ram having huge front end problems. Yet another dumb 15 year old fanboy who's never driven any of these trucks.

***** You just proved my point that you're unemployed and have hardly any actual experience with trucks with that little rant.

Trump got the gas down.

The throttle is so responsive...the cars acellerate all by themselves, right into libraries, day care centers, etc.... Toyota can't compete against the GM trucks. Horrible fuel mileage, loud, rough, and the frames....OH THE FRAMES!

True to certain extents, but regardless I'd still go with Toyota. They have an edge on engineering particularly the engine itself, which gets me in the door, I could care less that it isn't up to par with a luxury sedan in terms of ride quality or even fuel mileage tho. That's why GM has to crank out 10 commercial for every one Toyota does and they have 60% of the mid-size truck market covered. They are also sold more vehicles than GM last year and are more finically secure.

i guess you missed that report last year on CNN when they reported that they found no proof of any of the accelerator issues with the toyotas??? yeah well the storey ran once for one day and my guess is that the government had it quashed so they wouldnt look like idiots for taking a shot at toyota to try and prop up the failing Chevy , Dodge and ford , and another littlke known fact , Ford was advertising that they were the only company to not take a govt bailout , well this is only half true , they actually took their bail out money about a year before the market crash , do a little research people. i am not anti american my current Tundra is built in the USA and is an awesome product , i also own a toyota Rav4 that is built right here in canada , also a great vehicle with superb build quallity

390merc65 The workers in that plant in texas are the biggest traitors this country has ever had. Toyota has done nothing but lied about their runaway acceleration issues, and it has known about them for years. Only pussies drive Toyota trucks.

390merc65 Facts like that will make those willing to understand the difference between truth and lies. Ya can't deny those facts!

+Allen Frisch Ouch. I was hoping to buy a used 2015 or 2016 a few years from now.

+EverythingisFire I've been driving a canyon for a while and it has had 0 issues. I thiink allen is full of it

+Allen Frisch sounds fishy coming from a "sale rep for GM" slaming your own product? damn

+Matanumi I never had any luck with newer Chevys old ones are bullet proof. But modern ones are built poorly

still a lot better than Land Rover+Range Rover, IMO..... (sorry LR/RR fans)

BenMJay I bought my 2018 Colorado w/t with manual transmission for $18000

With rust through problems going back to the T-100, the Tundra and the Tacoma, the GM trucks easily have ended up on top.

***** Consumer reports, a non biased agency that studies reliability of vehicles, shows that for the most part Toyota is far more reliable than GM products. However, that wasn't my point. My point was that this review of the colorado was not accurate as they had no negative things to say about it. No vehicle is perfect.

Why would someone forget to report an issue with a toyota but remember for chevy?

Russ Hendrix Because that's the Toyota way. Toyota hides their fuck-ups

Wildman Welcome Wildman! That Canadian turdbag, Guy Proulx, went to every single new Colorado / Canyon video and troll-shat all over them.

Because that's how the average truck owner uses their truck - as a daily driver. Nobody is beating up or abusing their trucks, especially when fullsize trucks are now costing $40k to $60k.

Most of the new cars a so close to each other, same happens with the sentra and accord, the sentra is little cheaper but the accord has little bit more options which some people don't really care and prefer the price

crazy wheel Nissan sentra is in the same category as the civic not the accord. Nissan Altima is in the same class as the accord.

Lol, I guess I was sleeping, I wanted to say the Altima (I like both the Altima and the Accord)

you won't go wrong with the Nissan. I've had a 06 Tacoma, great truck but a tad underpowered. I traded if for a Nissan Xterra Pro 4x and wouldn't look back. I bit more refined in its on road capability and tons more power. You seem to get more truck for less $ and that is what ticks me off of toyota. The colorado wasn't out when I bought.

The tacomas are 35k plus, trd ext cab, with all the options. if you want fully loaded leather and all 40k. F' that

I bought my GMC Sierra 1 ton to haul my camper around, been all over the U.S. with it BTW and am very satisfied. It is now 4 years young and looks/drives as new.....change the oil every so often, very happy with it. I use my 07 Frontier mainly for construction work, also a good choice.

+Austin Zimmerman - Bullshit for the truck segment. My Toyota Tacoma TRD gave me nothing but problems. And I grew up a fan of Toyota trucks so it hurt me to admit it. Toyotas are just not built like they used to. Plus, all they do is ride the "reliability" claim and include less perks or have crappier interiors for the same if not a way better Chevy or Nissan. I am never going back to Toyota. just my experience.

+Austin Zimmerman rusting, snapping and bending frames. How reliable can it be if you need to get the fucking frame replaced

Three letters...AFM. You're wrong. Everyone knows it but you.

Three Chevy guys? You referring to the testers? Two of them own Tundras, FYI.

LOL! I can't believe anyone is still touting the Tacoma! Did you hear about the rusted frames, steering linkages, and brakes resulting in a class action law suit? The vibrations up to highway speed and below? Floor mats? NO DIESELS for the next two years as stated by Mark Sweers, Toyota's chief engineer for the TuRD Tacoma and Tundra at this year's North American Auto Show. Besides, the Tacoma and the Tundra are cowgirl trucks.

true.. i don't know why they hate on toyota, even tho they knew Toyota is best truck on earth.. GM and Nissan are junk

Khamkhoune Douangdala You have the choice to go say that on a Tacoma thread, but you came to a GM thread to say so. Another troll; I think you people are simply JEALOUS.

***** You can bash Toyota all you want, they're still the best selling truck in the category. They are the toughest and most reliable so far. The Colorado has a lot to prove. That being said, for me it would come down to a test drive between the colorado and the new tacoma when it comes out for me to decide which to buy. I love them both.

Tacoma hasn't changed since 2006. WTF?! Seriously, are all the Tacoma fan boys brain dead?

***** theyre changing the tacoma style in 2016. I think they look like crap especially in the front. If i were buying I would wait for the colorado with the duramax motor to come out and get that in a stick shift. probably would get near 30 mpg.

***** the 2nd Gen came out in 2005 not '06 My last American made car I owned was in '99 all I own now is Toyota's or Honda's and think of Subaru for my next car!!!!

delandgixxer750 and with a name of deland gixxer750, I am not surprised. You're under the spell of the Japanese Imperialists, and now you're a complete fan boy. I wouldn't expect you to be anything but a slave to the Asian Invasion. Try not to deploy those TAKATA airbags, you just might be better off without the scrapnel flying into your body, or the body of anyone riding with you. You love your family right?

Wow have you even been out of the U.S.A. I guess not because your so narrow minded!!! They make better cars, trucks & motorcycles!!!! I been to the WWII Battlefields were the U.S. Marines fought and defended the Japanese, On Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Truk Islands, Palau and Okinawa. U.S. Special Operations Command buy the Toyota Tacoma and that's a fact.

Wow, that's quite a response. I'll try to answer your questions, or at least most of them. First off, the Chevy did have the wind guard removed prior to us receiving it; therefore, all of our testing, including fuel economy, is without the wind guard. Chevy makes no secret that this item improves fuel economy, and it suggests removing the piece for those planning to hit the dirt. It could be argued this doesn't need to be installed on the Z71 models, but since the Z71 is really more of a trim level than a true off-road package (something we noted in the story) Chevy leaves it up to the owner to decide. The Toyota we tested clearly has the best off-road package of the bunch, and although it did get slightly dinged for this in some areas (price, on-road performance), the off-road performance is what made the truck so competitive (our full story lists the order of finish). This off-road performance comes at a $3,000-plus up-charge compared to the other trucks; what would have been more comparable is a traditional TRD Off-Road package (priced at roughly $36,000 like the others) and not the next-level-up T/X Baja Series, but that's what Toyota provided. If you haven't had the chance to check it out, I would direct you to the full review on our website to get the whole story: www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/review/2015-midsize-truck-shootout-colorado-vs-tacoma-vs-frontier-54135.html?page=5.

Off-Road.com I would have liked to see what the approach angles are on the Chev and the Canyon with the wind gaurd removed. Even the down model of the TX Baja truck will likely still have better off road performance than the GM off road packages regardless. Hopefully the ZR2 will come back but with 4 doors and no tire taking up the entire box. I still use the box on my 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro, not wasted with a spare tire in the box. I have a low step in for family while maintaining gobs of clearance for off road, I have normal tires so it handles well on pavement and has very little noise. The extra cup of fuel I burn that keeps the truck responsive is well worth it over the GM having that throttle lag. The GM's pis me off, they have the creature comforts which is nice and the AWD in the Canyon would be nice but they don't offer clearance which would have to come with a low step in like on the Tacoma if I am to buy it, along with several other outdoor enthuisasts who are attracted to the smaller truck market. All GM trucks come with bumpers that literally scrape the pavement. It's a truck, why ruin it with low clearance. At least offer one model with clearance, just one. Also, did GM do their torcher testing with the wind gaurd on or off regarding ice, slush and mud build up in the undercarriage, or if we take it off, are we going to be the Guinea pigs?

I agree Tacoma is the best one of all..

budcargeorge That front guard everyone is making a fuss about is REMOVABLE, as in by the owner. Use it on the highway, remove it off-road. Too easy.

budcargeorge Sounds like your all butt hurt now that competitors are coming out with new and better mid-size trucks. lol, Like that of the Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon and Nissan Frontier. All of which can be ordered with a diesel engine unlike that Taco. lol

Junk throw away truck, I'll never own one again after the last 2. Went with Tacoma, way better!

Ben Krause The Tacoma is garbage. I had a 2012 and a 2017. 2012 was trash and the 2017 fell apart. My 2018 Colorado beats my trash Tacoma any day

Yes, the air dam was removed from the bottom of the front bumper on the Colorado. We did the same thing with the Silverado we recently tested as well, as it reduces the ground clearance significantly but does aid in fuel economy.

Did you knowtice any dramatic difference in mpg with it on and off?

+bluryace if I would get one of these the first thing i would do to it is take that off. I think it looks 100 times better without it on.

***** We didn't remove it from the Colorado ourselves - it was delivered with it off. We did remove it from the Silverado we just tested, though, but we didn't drive it while on long enough to find a notable difference. GM says it can provide up to a 1 mpg gain. Here's the recent Silverado story: www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/review/review-2015-chevrolet-silverado-z71-54155.html

Shouldn't these reviews be done with the trucks delivered to the customers as delivered by the factory? Come on. if you start removing components that came from the factory that obviously hinders off-roading, then why not start swapping the off-road suspension for a road oriented suspension back on the tacoma when testing on-road, and put a 2" lift kit on the frontier when off-road?

Not lowest ownership that’s frontier best resale is toyota

laugh at a truck so much? you sir, must not have a life....

cant imagine your life is very impressive your here..

I find it entertaining reading comments from simple minded individuals. 

The Tacoma engine is Well Known for mechanical failure, cam failure, knocking, ticking, at ALL DIFFERENT MILEAGES! Piston slap too. TSB on engine rattle due to failing cam shaft gear assembly and Toyota is still suffering with the same thing in the 2.5!! If they truly did figure out what to do with the cams on the V6, then they surely could fix it on the 2.5!! Come on, Toyota! The V6 also has a current recall on the engine of 20,000 engines for a design flaw by Toyota that leaks fuel under the hood and can cause A fire. (2014-2015) It won't be long and the 3.5 will totally change to something else. They did this to kill its production. If the engine is this great, and Toyota truly wanted the Tacoma to stand out, they would of put this engine in this truck a lot sooner. It does make more power than the 4.0, but they're afraid now because the Canyon is back, with a stronger V6, so Toyota had to step up its game. They didn't have time to engineer a COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE, think about it!! So they say ALL NEW ATKINSON CYCLE and ALL MEW ENGINE FOR 2016, and everyone believes them! This is the biggest load of Crap that anyone has ever done. Don't fall for this Crap!

***** Stop trolling Goliath the Tacoma won best truck that holds it value and got a 9.2 out of 10 for consumer reports and raved about the 4.0 engine. Said it is a great long term investment that holds its value as well. www.kbb.com/toyota/tacoma-double-cab/2015-toyota-tacoma-double-cab/#zipo=f66c7663ac8a4332c5d7f3d1e1c8eb7e

budcargeorge When someone speaks the truth about a Toyota it's 'trolling"... Nice try fan boy. Here's what real people (not biased entities) have to say about the Tacoma: "Now a proud owner of a 2004 Toyota Tacoma with a broken frame. The representative that we talked to at Toyota said the truck was JUNK. It did not receive a certain undercoating that happened to be a recall that we were NEVER notified of. We bought the truck used from Midstate Auto (a Dodge/ Jeep) dealership in November of 2005. They would not service the truck so we had to bring the truck to a Toyota dealer (Courtesy Toyota). They never mentioned ANY recalls or any to-do's that needed to be done. 8 Years later we find out about the undercoating issue the hard way. The frame broke on the way home one afternoon. I have been a proud owner of Toyota Tacomas since 1999 - have leased several. My son wanted to buy this Toyota and spend many years with it to get him back & forth to school/work. He is now without transportation and has no money to put towards another vehicle. When you spend $18,000.00 for a truck it should last you longer than 8 years. I have lost ALL respect for Toyota and the way they handled this situation. If we had known about the recall and ignored that then I could understand, but when you haven't been notified then it is hard to handle. The FRAME BROKE. What more should they care about, luckily no one got hurt. No longer a proud owner and love talking about my experience. Toyota has disappointed me and I share that as much as I can also." www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota_tacoma.html

***** That is only a minority opinion. Consumer reports gave the Tacoma a 9.2 out of 10. Congratulations you found the 0.8/10 that had problems. Maybe we should use minority votes to pick presidents as well. LMFAO 9.2/10 stop crying and being a baby. www.kbb.com/toyota/tacoma-double-cab/2015-toyota-tacoma-double-cab/#zipo=f66c7663ac8a4332c5d7f3d1e1c8eb7e

budcargeorge Minority? LOL! Here's some more: "My wife bought a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. She never pulled or hauled anything with it. It has 120000 miles. Started making a whining noise. Took it to Toyota. They told me it needed universal joints that was 300.00. Still had whining noise. Took it back. They then told me it needed differential and it would be 1900.00 dollars. I told them that the rear suspension problem had to cause this problem. They told me no. This truck bottoms out when I have my grandkids in it or hit bumps on highway. This rear suspension problem is going to kill somebody then they might do something about it. They told us not to drive it out of town. But they won't give us a rental car. I don't know what to do. They don't even have a fix for the suspension yet." and another: "I took my truck in on November 17, 2014 for 2 recalls. I received a phone call from dealership that I could not take my truck off the lot due to 2 holes in my frame and truck was deemed unsafe. I was told it would take 6 to 8 weeks. I called back on the 7th week and was told 8 to 10 weeks. I called back on 12th week and was told my frame was not on but they were putting my truck on a flat bed to go to Mattapoisett, Mass where they will put on frame when frame comes in. I called back again on Wednesday 2/18/15 and was told that they have had a truck there since September 2014 waiting for a frame. I called Toyota Corporation on Wednesday 2/18/15 and was told they would have a supervisor call me back 24 to 48 hours. I just got off the phone with supervisor (2/20/15) and was told there is nothing they can do and that they are aware that the frames are backed up. They do not have an estimated time of arrival. I contacted better business bureau." and another: "Until a week ago, I respected Toyota, but they did me wrong, and I want to tell my story. If one person reads this and has a better outcome than me, fantastic. If a lot of people read this and Toyota gets slapped, then my mission will be accomplished. TL/DR: I know a lot of you have Toyotas, and I hope you are happy with them. Please get your vehicles frame checked regularly. Some models have a severe problem with frame rust, making them profoundly unsafe. Unlike other vehicle safety issues you may have heard about, there is no recall for this, and as I found out, there is no remedy for the owner either. On 12/1/2014 I took our 2002 Toyota Tacoma to our usual shop for what I thought would be regular mechanical repairs (I thought my alternator was failing). What happened was the mechanics said the truck’s frame, that huge piece of metal that everything is built upon was so badly rusted they would not even put the truck on a lift. They said they literally have had Toyota trucks break in two in their shop, while on a lift, due to rusted frames. I’m not talking about surface rust here. I’m talking about a hole big enough to pass my hand through. It turns out Toyota knows about this problem too, but somehow no regulatory action has ever occurred. No recall was ever issued. On the internet I learned Toyota ran a program (from 2009 to 2012, I believe) where they were compensating owners with these frame problems. So I called Toyota corporate. The rep confirmed there was indeed a program, and mailed owners about it several times. Mind you, I was the second owner. I emphatically told her I never received notices of the program, and didn’t know about the rust until 12/1/2014. Nevertheless, Toyota closed my case by telling me the program closed and they will take no further action. None. So what I thought was a $5000 asset is actually a $200 scrapheap that isn’t even safe to drive. Toyota knew about this material defect, didn’t care that I didn’t get the memo (the rep herself suggested these might have been mailed to the previous owner, HELLO?), and basically I showed up too late to be remedied. Needless to say, I will not be shopping for a Toyota any time soon. And I promised the rep (who was very polite, and I did not blame her personally), that I would do my best to prove to Toyota that while they may have closed their financial liability on this rust problem, they can expect to feel the impacts of bad publicity for not taking care of the customers who slipped through the cracks." Looks like the old Toyota standby of Consumer Reports is bought and paid for by Toyota. and another.... "Got a new 2013 Tacoma with a v6. At about 2500 miles engine started pinging. Took it in service at dealer. Told me they could not fix it. I called Toyota. They said it was normal. Pinging was getting worse. Went back to dealer 4 to 5 times. Ended up trading for a 2014 Toyota Tacoma and at about 2700 the engine started pinging. Took it back to the dealer 2 or 3 times. Told me they could not do anything to fix it. Called Toyota. They said it was normal. l called 3 to 4 times. Toyota would not do anything. Am out money. Toyota would do nothing. So at this time I am very mad. So I went and got a Nissan Frontier. Would like to have got a Ford 150 but would not fit in garage. Will never buy a Toyota ever after losing money on junk. Shame on Toyota. They know they have a problem..." and another... "Tacoma has a severe vibration at highway speeds since day one! We purchased a new 2014 Tacoma from Toyota of Murfreesboro, TN. On the way home we noticed a severe vibration in floor, seats and doors. Been back to dealer many times, gone through arbitration, etc. Toyota calls it a CHARACTERISTIC!" and another... "Increasing clanking for past couple months, had me about to go in for service check when we smelled then saw gas dripping underneath... Took it to my local mechanic yesterday who said left frame joint just forward of left rear leaf spring had wholly rusted out & broke, & that the couple inches of play caused puncture holes in tank itself. Est to repair $2700-3K!!! What do I care about the rusted out spare tire holder? - I could have been blown up!! Lucky Louis lives to work & play another day!!" The fact that you spread lies about Toyota reliability makes me sick. The TRUTH is, Toyota is no better than anyone else's truck. BUYER BEWARE!
