I realize that there may be few here with one of the new Tacomas but a serious issue has started to crop up that Toyota seems to be ducking that needs to be addressed.


check out the TTORA thread and make some comments.

If Toyota starts this type of BS concerning possible design flaws with a new truck I'm worried that they have begun a new policy of no longer standing by their product.

hey my 05 elocker was that way when i got it,  ring gear was busted,  but  what happened  was the carrier bearing bolts were never tightened  at the factory

im sure THIS is the problem

Crazy, Toyota used to have a great warranty policy.
I had a poor experience with my 01', but I was at 90k miles, I was windshiled wipers deep in water, and I did drive it 300 miles with a wet airfilter.

However, i did get the service advisor fired for being so pig headed with me. :-D

then again, my best friend had a bushing in his rack and pinion go out due to an oval rim....they replaced the entire rack, and gave him a loaner car for 3 weeks... unlimited milage.
