Quality is definitely there for Toyota. They take pride in their work on manufacturing and remember auto components are shipped from different places.

I got a 2021 Toyota Tacoma brand new back in December 2020 that had two hub caps cracked and fell of the truck and one blinker light blow out within a month after buying it and of course it was made in Mexico. Totally unbelievable for a Toyota.

Had the cabin lights fuse blow randomly and now the wiper relay has started making an obnoxious ticking recently, the truck is bone stock too so its not like i screwed with any electronics.

Friend of mine works at a Toyota dealership, told me they had a new tundra in for a broken turbo after the customer had it for a week....

That 2.7 4 cyl. will run forever! I had 190,000 thousand miles on my 2003 when a kid rear ended me in a 4 door 4 WD Silverado doing 40 MPH. They put his truck on a Flat bed. I drove my Taco until it Was appraised 3 days later. They totaled my 10 year old truck. They said the frame may be bent. They gave me 10 grand for it. My Truck was built in Cali.

The inline 4 motors might be "underpowered" to most, but it will far exceed the V6 engine in longevity.

It depends on how well you take care of the vehicle. I’ve seen V6 Toyota engines go to 300,000 miles without a single issue. They’re all solid. Now yes, the 4 cylinder is technically a more solid unit because it is cast iron. However they could both outlive you if you take sweet care of it!

I would like to reiterate that Mexico has many wonderful things coming from the hard work of it's indigenous peoples. Please be mindful of this and try not to insult the integrity of these employees and artisans who have dedicated such long hours toward the assembly of Toyota trucks and other items. They are not substandard because they are made or assembled in Mexico. That is blatant discriminatory language being used toward the wrong target. Instead look at the source, if Toyota were providing the best leadership, management, and training possible then maybe there would be less to poke fun at. Why blame the laborers? That's just plain meanness.

I think a 4wd Tacoma V6 could push a plow, just not a huge one. Might help to throw some sandbags in the bed too and chains in some big snow

It looks like a SnowEx will fit that Taco. It's the same plow as the Fisher HS, and Western Defender. 7' 2" blade. Should plow nicely. I've been plowing with my 1999 Jeep XJ Cherokee for over a decade. 244,500 miles! Just driveways.

I bought a used 2018 gen 3 Tacoma sport 4x4 v6 limited here in Canada. And after watching this video, I checked where it was built. USA thank god lol.

I bought a 2018 Tacoma SR AC, L4, RWD for $23K in the end of 2018. The dealership was having a sale on its late year models to to make room for their 2019s. Fast forward to September 2021, my good friend/future BiL got a 4runner Venture (basically a TRD Off-road with a Yakima roof-basket and TRD Pro wheels.) He was able to sell his truck (identical to mine except 2019 and quad cab) for about $5K over what he paid. I found a 2021 Tacoma SR5 AC, V6, 4WD for sticker, roughly $38K. I make quite a lot more than I did in 2018 so I pulled the trigger, but instead of trading it in I wanted to sell it-ended up selling it to Carvana who paid me just under $28K. The truck had 40,000 miles on it and I made just shy of $5K on it, and got a truck that I’m actually happy with in the process.
