sucks that it happened to you, but the top hat failure is not common and does not mean the entire truck is a bust.
The truck is amazing.

Every gen Tacoma has had issues. Being an all new platform, the isolated problems have been few. Sorry you are having issues, but once ironed out, this will be an amazing generation.After 6000km in a 2024 Off Road Premium I understand the hate. Too much emphasis on wow and not enough on reliability. Too many design and manufacturing flaws. Initial transmission problems. Brake line problems (stop sell order yesterday on 100,000 + units). Shock top hats made from pot metal that expode in potholes - lots of these on 4g and tacomaworld (hopefully the next recall, as my truck has been broken for 3 weeks awaiting parts with no date given yet). Tiny fuel tank that hasn't yet made it 400km on a tank. Glitchy entertainment system. (My driver door also went in for repair after 2 bolts fell out after 4000km.) Poor part availability when broken.
The truck should be amazing. We all love how it drives when it works. It just wasn't ready for prime time when it was released. Not what I expected from my first Toyota. There are many great things about the truck but for the price tag on these trucks some of the hating can be justified.
Yeah. This is truly a small number of issues for a radically redesigned platform. We’ve got warranties. The truck will improve every year.Every gen Tacoma has had issues.

Exactly. When I post on TW, I have to brace for impact and do some meditation.
I do like to browse there for ideas and customizations cause it does seem to be a larger forum, but I haven't created a profile cause there's way too many asshats and I'd end up banned.It's just not really worth browsing tacomaworld. Mods are worse than some of the members because they encourage the trolls by selective rule enforcement.
