I went from a small mazda crossover to a 2024 taco offroad premium. Ran into issues initially with rear main seal leak. Dealer gave me max warranty 7yrs complimentary to compensate.
at the end of the day its just a truck. Its been running smoothly so far for me and im happy with the purchase...

Anyone...
