Long Time Tundra Owner

[ST_Jim]

Greetings from sunny Southern California!

I’ve got a 2006 2WD Tundra, but have recently retired and considering going 4WD to visit some of those places they don’t let you go otherwise. Like White Rim Road, etc. Places I won’t take my street bike either!

Hate the new Tundra, and its recall issues don’t help. So now it’s kind of down to a new Taco, a last of the 4Runners, or wait on the new 4Runner or heaven forbid Land Cruiser.

New prices sure aren’t helping!

I wouldn't buy a first year gen4 tacoma till Toyota worked out all the gremlins. Usually takes them 3 years till you get one with no recalls. 4runners imo, have more care in their manufacturing than these pickups.

My first year 3rd gen has no issues.

You're one of the lucky ones, major reason I held off to 2020. Just about everyone I know that got a first year gen3 taco had some issue having to go back to the dealer. Auto transmission was a biggie that year, not to mention noisy differentials.
