RE: Toyota Quality
Having never ridden in the new Tacoma myself, it's hard to have an opinion. I have to ask, how smooth does one expect a 3/4ton truck ride on a concrete highway? Most of the trucks I've ridden in, do not ride Cadillac smooth with no load.
Edit: ...and Toyota's response of "just add 600lbs to the bed" is pretty damn asinine.

RE: Toyota Quality
More to the point, what was his tire pressure set at? What was the condition of the road he was on? How had he driven his truck prior to making that video??? If he had went to a dealer, picked up a new truck, and showed us this....filming the whole thing....it would show more proof....
Too many of those things can be manipulated by other factors then the truck...

I have a 2000 Tundra that I purchased from the Toyota dealer in Waycross.Truck had 85k miles. The day I bought it had to have a complete brake job,turn rotors and new pads. Within 5k miles shaking was back. I lived with it until it got real bad. Turned rotors again, lasted 3 k this time. I then went to a private garage and had high performance rotors,calpers, and pads put on at a cost of 1000 bucks. At 102k was going on a long trip and the steering became very difficult and wobbly. Took it to the dealer when I got home and it needed new ball joints. I had the job done at a private garage for around 600 bucks (dealer wanted much more). The brakes made it 12k this time and rotors are warped again and I said the heck with it. The tranny now has the famous clunk in it. I feel like Toyota is totally ignoring us folks with these known defects. The bad thing is I had a 05 Tundra before this one that was a horrible piece of junk and I was stupid enough to buy another one after getting rid of the 05! Oh what I feeling, Toyota, NEVER again!!

This is hilarious to me because he's talking about a used vehicle like it should behave like a new one....
Chase, I'm not saying Toyota's perfect, cuz I've seen some of their real issues in front of me....but these 3 links are relatively biased...
