It looks like Toyota took a cut in parts quality to pay for advanced tech in the cab. I hope this a one off, considering the hell Top Gear got their Hilux through !

I HATE when someone says "Well, it's the 1st year its to be expected". This is a $45k - $50K truck that is meant for off-roading. Those conditions were no where near abuse. If everyone waited a year or more to buy the 1st redesign of anything then the manufacturers would lose their butts. These should be tested and tested again before any consumer gets their hands on it.

The 1st gen Raptors were toughted by Ford as a great Baja type truck. What started to happen on those trucks? The frame started to bend. I've even read a story about a Jeep Wrangler (maybe even a Gladiator but cant exactly remember) that drove his Jeep through a muddy puddle at a not so fast speed but enough to throw water/mud onto the hood. It lost power due to the alternator getting too much water/mud on it. Jeep DENIED his warranty claim as they claimed it was due to abuse! Tundra's have had, and still do, issues with going from 2HI to 4HI or 4LO not fully engaging. The 4HI/4LO flash nonstop on the cluster and you have to let the truck sit for minutes to literally over night before it finally disenages the partial 2HI to 4HI or 4LO transition. Toyota does nothing about it, even when a customer brings it in. The Tacoma's were a solid performer up until it and it shows. They put in these little turbo 4 bangers (turbo for off roading, ok...) and redesigned the 4wd for it. So good luck to all the 1st generation owners of the new 2024 Tacoma's and these future issues you have from barely off roading them.

That snap was the most beautiful sound ever. It was the sound of my 2021 going up in value.

I’ll tell you exactly what broke this truck. It’s a phenomenon well known in the turbo industry. It’s called dynamic loading. In short the turbo at consistent low RPMs generates a ton of torque. It overloaded the gear train somewhere in the front end and something broke. Based on the behavior I think they ripped out the front ring gear or ripped several teeth off of it by overloading it. The transfer case was still in 4wd but chances are the shaft was just spinning on either a stripped ring or pinion gear. Most transfer cases are chain driven or gear driven with very sturdy gears. Usually it’s the ring and pinion up front that give way.. it’s possible this was a defective part

This is Toyotas equivalent of Harley's AMF erra. Vehicles that break often and when they do its a fortune to fix. BMW powered Supra, Subaru powered GR86, piss poor turbo charged trucks that are incredibly difficult to work on and a fortune to repair.

A failure under these conditions is abnormal. My assumption is the majority of the damage was done at an earlier point and this is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Making it a fatigue failure.

No they aren't. The last gen Tacomas had all sorts of issues. It was consistently rated the least reliable Toyota model until the last couple model years, and yet people still bought them because they thought all Toyotas were reliable. The new Tundra is one of the least reliable models in the segment and people still buy them because they think they are reliable. Their reputation is going to carry them for a while, but they better get it together because their new products are garbage and people will eventually catch on.

Came here looking for this comment. Anyone that has been off road for 3 seconds knows that was an axle shaft. Personally I’m impressed that the TCS actually engaged the brake on the spinning side enough to snap the shaft on the traction side. Dont put lockers in these on stock shafts 😂

I almost bought a 2024 tacoma yesterday, that sound was probably the 4 cylinder turbo engine breaking from going up a hill......lol so glad I didn't get one.

Sad to see a new truck fail so bad. It is also a good reminder why you should keep a pair of chains on any vehicle that might face winter conditions. I have managed similar icy conditions in my fwd golf 3 with cheap chains.

Snapped a CV. Thats happens spinning wheels on IFS setups. That did snap really easy. No drive on the other front wheel because of the open front differential. The snapped side just spins, no power goes to the unbroken side. I've changed lots of CVS on the side side of trails that look just like that!
