Oops.

 

hahahahahahhahahah yeah! Minus the Celica I hate Toyotas.

 

oh its just the tail gate and transmission. What truck owner uses those anyway.

 

But it's a Toyota...so it must be perfect right?

 

Whatever they do, they just can't make Tundra right.

 

Nice, REAL NICE rice boys! A truck that can tow what..10,000lbs?? But you can't put a 300lb ATV on the tailgate?!

HA!! Face it, it's built like a POS.

Just go to the job sites. Those guys know whats up. F-150s and Super Duties report to work every day around here. I notice and look all the time.

 

Isn't this generally what happens when the new kid comes to town and tries to play with the big boys on their terms? The big 3 has been making heavy duty trucks for probably as long as Toyota is in business and now they want to try to make a "superior" truck on the first go around? I knew it was comming. And now they don't have the benefit of the doubt anymore to blindsight the people with.

 

I respect Toyotas, even if I don't like many of them, seeing them as extremely well made transportation appliances with about 0 soul. The Supra's and some versions of the MR-2 were interesting, but much beyond that, yawn.

Guess the Tundra woes show that Toyota's hard earned and well deserved reputation for quality and reliability isn't monolithic. But then, no manufacturer's QC is and on aggragate, Toyota's is extremely good overall and something most other makers should strive for.

Many, including Ford, really are making very impressive headway here and Toyota's recent QC woes show that it, or anybody, can't simply rest on their laurels. A stellar repution for quality and reliability is hard to build up but easily lost and then very difficult and long to regain, even if recent products are very good -- a problem many Detroit makers find themselves in.

 

Im happy this happened, It made me sick awhile back seeing Consumer Reports saying the Tundra was best Pickup before it was even out.. There in their face !!!

 

It appears that the Tundra might not be the only Toyota product having some build/quality issues.

The absolute best part of that FJ Cruiser post is that it is 186 pages long!! 186 pages of people complaining about the truck tearing itself into two pieces. How did this thing not get caught during testing??

 

H-o-l-y crap!

 

i would never buy a toyota truck. not ever in a million years. crap crap crap. they may make reliable transportation (cars) but they obviously cant build a work truck.

IN YOUR FACE TOYOTA

 

Even Toyota wouldnt choose Toyota trucks!

 

I think that picture is funny, but Toyota doesn't even make a truck in that size range.

 

If they are haveing this much trouble in a standard fullsize I'd be scared to haul a go cart with a bigger one.

 

see i think they focus on making the city consumer happy...not people that really use trucks, i dont give it long before many more problems arise with these trucks, more than basic maintinence is gonna be the norm i think

 

That picture is that much more funny when you recall the commercials they have recently of their trucks dead pulling weight off a cliff and all that, but cant seem to haul a trailer around
They should have stuck to the small pick-up market- Those lil guys were indestructible (see- episodes of Top Gear).

 

poor toyota..... they tried at least.
