UPDATE!!! I took the truck to my Toyota dealer yesterday. They took care of me and addressed my issues. Update video coming soon! Thanks everyone, hope you all have a great weekend.
Thanks for those details. After 19 years & 300,000 miles, my Tundra Double Cab LTD, 4.7L V8 with TRD & All Weather package, is suffering frame rot even though it was part of the recall campaign. It was sand blasted & re-undercoated, but the frame rotted from the inside-out. I just got word today that my 2023 Tacoma SR Access Cab, 2.7L 4 cylinder base model is finally moving after having been assembled for 5 weeks already. It should arrive at my local dealership in 2 or 3 days here in rural Western Mass. At 73, I'm expecting that it will be handed down to my Son, it will probably outlast me. lol
Absolutely! I’m glad to have helped. That’s great to here how long your Tundra lasted and congratulations on the new Tacoma! It will be a great truck for many years.
I have a black 23 tacoma trd pro. When i purchased it , i didn't really noticed the paint imperfections since it was dark already when i got to the dealer . The next morning i noticed a bunch of bubles all over the paint , well it was more the clear coat. Took it back to the dealer and they took care of the bigger ones quarter size or larger. I still have a few bubles around the truck , i haven't taken it back to the dealer for the other smaller imperfections. The service department said they had to use a heat gun to remove them of the paint.
With regard to the mirror. I have found that I am not able to adjust the mirrors unless I start the vehicle. Even with the power on. I am not driving a tacoma. It's a brand new corolla cross.
@@Jmcdaniel01 man it’s crazy, of all the things to not line up, you would think the front that stands out would lol. I honestly looked at it 10+ times and had a few friends look at it before this video to make sure I wasn’t crazy also lol.
the power side mirrors i can agree on, they should be able to fix it . Also i can agree on the hood alignment, mine is the same as yours. The pain protection film should of not peeled so quickly, mine is a 2020and has some dust stuck inside but not peeling yet
I owned a 2020 se5 and had the same issue with the fender being higher than the hood, I also ran into an issue with the roof rack holes, some were completely covered by sheet metal and had to drill to be able to install the roof rack. Now my current Tacoma (2020 off-road) the fender is well aligned everything works as it should as new. Must be a luck of draw.
@@grewsgarage Um maybe My friend has a Trd off-road 2023 his is from Baja everything looks aligned as it should maybe not fair comparasion idk but my other friend had an sr5 from San Antonio and trim was like yours.
I bought my 2023 Tacoma back at the end of August of this year, truck has alignment issues since purchased, keeps pulling towards the right. I had my truck aligned twice at the dealer since purchasing it and it's still having alignment issues. It's a TRD Sport 4x2, it is not used for off roading and wheels are original. Has anyone had the same issue?
Actually they are proudly assembled right here in america in 16 plants providing 40,000 jobs , just the material is from over seas, ford and gm are just as foreign built if not more .
I bought a 2019 last year with 30k miles for basically msrp of a new one. Everyone told me i was crazy. #1 you couldn't find a new tacoma and #2 i considered overpaying a few grand good insurance being that it was built right before covid and hopefully wouldnt have lots of weird nitpicky issues caused by supply chain failure and what not
Yup... 2022 and beyond are being made in Mexico, so this is what happens. I don't know what they're doing differently over there, but the quality issues being reported have only increased ever since that happened. I think at this point it's becoming fairly clear to me that the 2020 and 2021 model years were the best 3rd gens we'll ever get.
@Grew's Garage Yeah precisely, if the quality coming out of the plant in Mexico was 100% just the same as the units from Japan and the USA then I wouldn't care at all, but it seems to be a reoccurring thing that when they move a car over to Mexico the quality takes a hit.
Yes, most of these problems came about after the fact. As far as the hood goes, I did not notice that the day of. That’s why I did this video, to make others aware.
Quality control has been declining for years. This isn’t just a pandemic supply chain issue. People keep getting lazier and expect to get payed more while doing bare minimum and at the same time not giving a crap about their work. And it doesn’t matter what country or who.
No it was like that prior to ditch light install. I checked it a few times. Even took them off to confirm. Yes the cut is funky for sure. Like isn’t all that just stamped metal? How could it be so off.
A few offroading trips and you will may see more things broken or misaligned. It's an offroad truck, its going to get abused over time. Your power mirriors are probably the connector switch popped off from a bouncy road or something.
I doubt that, this truck is almost new and it has been babied off-road. Even if that was the case, that’s no excuse for such a new and expensive vehicle.
@@grewsgarage its looks to me that the control switch isnt working. Underneath it the connector is attached. It probably popped off when it got bumpy. If it was a fuse it might take out something else too.
I sale my 2010 TRD Sport 4x4 the other day and guess what I bought? 2015 TRD Sport 4x4 with like 29k miles like new jejjeejejeje 3rd Gens suck! engine, body plastic, everything they feel less tough!
Toyota took care of it all under warranty. It is all things I could do myself, but the fact that we pay what we do for theses I let them deal with it. That’s what warranty is for.
Thanx for the info..Toyota quality of last few yrs IS NOT how Toyota built that rock solid reliability reputation. The tech in the vehicle of today is borderline insanity... Love my 1st Gen Tundra..a bit of a Unicorn..3.4 V6 mated to a 5 speed manual..with the Manual Transfer case. Doesnt get no more dependable than that truck Thats a forever truck.. with proper Maintenance! Keep up the new Tacoma updates..of the small things you are noticing..not to mention the Sad 6 speed auto ..on anything but perfectly flat ground. Hope they improved the natorious "gear hunting issue"..drive a sane man crazee🤯 The 24s will probly all but drive for a guy...WAY to much tech for this guy. Keep up the great work!!! Hope you contact Toyota and get all of punchlist resolved !
As a life long Ford owner, these are pretty minor compared to crap I've felt with 😂 My brand new f150, warped dash...twice! Gps HVAC head unit stopped working at 13k miles. Power seat motor went out, blew a turbo, blew a transfer case seal, doors wouldn't close because locks would freeze. On and on and on. Ditched Ford and bought my wife a new Acura. So now I'm ditching Ford trucks and looking at Toyota.
That is a very valid point. Many of my work vehicles were Fords and they definitely had issues for sure. Acura/Honda makes great cars in my opinion. I don’t think you will regret looking into a Toyota
Acura is shit and has worst consumer review score than Ford. Get some Toyotas and put car trouble in that rearview! Really wish they sold the Hilux her win N America, built in Japan like the 4Runner
@@user-ej1bq4bq2w your full of shit. There's no consumer reporting agency out there that puts Ford above Honda (Acura). If, that's a big if, if there are any complaints against Acura it's because their buyers have much higher expectations that for buyers.
@@user-ej1bq4bq2w You said "Acura shit and has a worst consumer review than Ford". You didn't mention anything about Lexus. Saying Acura is worst than Ford is complete bullshit.
I've got a 2022trd off road 4x4 and didn't have any of these issues like that. The only issue/recall I had was BTSM BLIND SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM AND BACK SEAT CAR SEAT RESTRAINTS WE'RE THE MAIN TO THINGS IVE HAD . I HAVEN'T REALLY NOTICED ANYTHING ELSE
Not Nitpicky you buy a new truck it should be right, Especially at Toyota they should be above in quality! Thanks for the video and the heads up! Toyota drivers want simple and reliability.
Those loose spots on the film look like finger-holds to me. If there's no print, the worker might've worn gloves, but maybe they weren't totally clean. You paid 30 or 40k for it... BE PICKY! lol
Nice! I’m glad you have a solid one. I by no means hate the truck, but I want people to keep things like this in mind before buying, especially how much they cost now.
@@noahbyrne2402 very nice! I always wanted an FJ it just never happened. I’m sure the Tacoma with be okay, just check it over well at the dealer. They took care of my issues.
I don’t understand? Why are you complaining about the paint of a truck being used outside you were in a rough environment, splashing, mud, dirt, rocks, sand, etc.. superficial defects should be the least of your worries, if anything worry about the motor of the truck, if you’re that concerned, Kevlar wrap it for extra money🤦🏻♂️
@@grewsgarage new truck? For outside use? and utility? As what you’re using it for? Sounds more like entitlement and nitpicking for something so minuscule..
New gen is gonna blow these out of the water for 2024 with the turbo 4 torque will be there and you won’t be getting full size truck mpg plus a new interior no brainer to wait
I’m not going to agree or disagree until I have experience with one. But I will say, I will NEVER buy the first year or a “new” anything. Look at some of the issues the Tundra is having. No matter how much engineering or testing a company does, nothing will expose the quirks like consumer use. I do wish they would offer the same diesel offering that’s in the Hilux.
@@grewsgarage Agreed 100% for me its yr 3, before I'll even consider the next gen of the Tacoma. They should've gone with a turbo diesel, I hate the idea of a turbo 4 in a tacoma.
bro my 2021 tacoma is my first toyota -already junk -unbelievable this is a $40k jap truck ... makes no sense.... aside from design-wise nothing makes sense -I've had the leaky rear diff, alignment issue, brakes shaking the entire truck, paint chips off u breathe on it, clear vinyl coming off, and already rust on my frame etc....
@@grewsgarage ill add too -that all the problems were fixed -so far -and aside from paint... and that s more than I can say for other manufactures like VW Ford or even GM now. ...after 18k miles problems have plateau'd - I'm hoping its just a break-in thing ...fwiw
@@grewsgarage i have a 2022 colorado redline , 2wd , i had a 2016 z71 off road silverado , i miss it , but the transmission was rebuilt twice under warranty , as soon as the warranty expired , it started giving me trouble again, we tried to get a 4x4 colorado , but in our area , we could not find any , so , we settled for the 2wd , why a colorado ? it has 7000lbs towing , and it's just us 2 , and , i'm liking it more then i thought i would , it's gloss black, tow package , v6

When I read your reply it sounded just like me with my 2005 tundra SR5 Even the bed is rotted. Best of Luck with your New Ride Enjoy in Good Health .
Some of the many reasons why I am leaning towards the 4runner. Thanks for sharing.
To be completely honest, if I didn’t need the bed for some of the work I do, a 4Runner would have been my pick.
My Nissan frontier has paint peeling issues,so don’t be too quick to jump to a Nissan midsize pickup.
It’s a 2018

@@user-ej1bq4bq2w 100% the only turbo 4 in a Tacoma that would excite me would be a diesel.
bro my 2021 tacoma is my first toyota -already junk -unbelievable this is a $40k jap truck ... makes no sense.... aside from design-wise nothing makes sense -I've had the leaky rear diff, alignment issue, brakes shaking the entire truck, paint chips off u breathe on it, clear vinyl coming off, and already rust on my frame etc....
Sad to here that man, but the Japan has not made most Toyotas for a while sadly. I honestly hate how many issues I’m having with my 2022
@@grewsgarage ill add too -that all the problems were fixed -so far -and aside from paint... and that s more than I can say for other manufactures like VW Ford or even GM now. ...after 18k miles problems have plateau'd - I'm hoping its just a break-in thing ...fwiw
@@comment_below same, Toyota took care of my issues.
i'd buy a nissan before a toyota , toyota s full of themselves and gone downhill
I can say my 2011 is built better

It appears that your Tacoma needs to be repaired at the dealership and under the warranty. 🫡
It was, check out the part 2 video, I address how they took care of me. Thanks for watching
