    Consumer Reports Hates our Tacomas!

    I have a 16 with issues but we’re in counseling and making progress, lol.

    Front deflector thingy

    You might be able to make up the 5% just by the way you driver her. However, that may not be as practical since these trucks like rpm’s.

    Differential recall

    Yeah but it shouldn’t be happening on new trucks like this. I miss my 2nd gen!

    Differential recall

    Well here we go again....just noticed my diff is weeping again. It was repaired under warranty (not recall) 3-4 months ago. This is crazy!

    Brake override malfunction

    So far so good, I think the chip may have been the issue. I have not had any of these errors since removal.

    Auto High Beams

    I am in a 2018 Corolla rental while my 16 Taco is being serviced and was impressed with this feature as well. They also shut down perfectly with a car about a 1/8 mile or so in front of me. Pretty cool! I’ll have to go back to old school tomorrow when I pick the rig up, lol.

    Brake override malfunction

    Yeah I told them to remove the chip and my tech also recommended that as well. Thanks for YAW and PCM advice, I’ll mention that. I’ll take any extra MPG for sure! I feel the same way about what we’ve dealt with and actually want to see it through like you. I too am planning on keeping this rig a...

    Brake override malfunction

    Yeah it’s been a journey! I have 14k miles on her. I did forget to mention that corporate gave me the 8/125 Platinum warranty at no cost. They also gave me a rental car this time too. I plan on sticking this out. I do feel these issues will be resolved eventually, hopefully before 125k or 8...

    Brake override malfunction

    I have a 16 ORDC with 3”/1” lift and 285/70/17 tires. Recently I have had 6 brake override errors over the last 3 months. My dealer was baffled since I was not part of any recall and they could not duplicate the error since has been intermittent. After further inspection they said it was...

    Differential recall

    I'm finally getting my diff done today. Mine was not part of recall but replaced under warranty. I was able to keep my truck while my parts were on order. I'm keeping my truck and will pursue the extended warranty with my case worker. On a lighter note - I take my truck off road and on back...

    3 inch lift and BFG KO2s before/after...I'm in love

    I have a similar spacer lift and when I flex a bit I hear a similar noise. I think it has something to do with the spacer interface with the strut. Spacers do compress the spring which could settle or move slightly with the flex of the suspension. Just my two cents. Curious what the dealer says

    Safety recall received from Toyota today.

    My diff is leaking but not part of recall. It will be covered under regular warranty though. Toyota corporate said they are sending my case to management to possibly expand the recall for trucks like mine.

    Safety recall received from Toyota today.

    Just took my 16 ORDC in for first oil change and leaky diff. My dealer said mine is not part of the recall! My advisor was going to send me on my way since I had no appointment. I immediately called corporate and they were awesome. They called the service department while I was there and asked...

    2017 Toyota Tacoma transmission. Come on Toyota!!

    I had the tranny issue tsb and now I noticed my dif is seeping. It will get fixed but I am also very disappointed. However, I do believe in the core of my truck - the motor, tranny (on a mechanical level) and other hardware type components. I am planning to weather the storm and keep my truck. I...

    Favorite thing about your Tacoma???

    Pretty much the same as most you guys. I'm here in CO and they hold value like crazy! I always feel confident off road that I can deal with many different types of situations and still drive home. I'll take my truck over any other brand in the back country hands down. I don't get too crazy so...
