For the first time, Ford trucks are more reliable than the Tacoma. So are Ram. So are Chevy.

The Tacoma used to be the king of reliability, but its latest reliability ratings have taken a nosedive. Although the Tacoma topped the 2024 J.D. Power study for midsize trucks, it's now one of the least reliable midsize trucks

The Tacoma's resale value has taken a nosedive, too.

A quote from the article "Since these vehicles are brand-new, their reliability has yet to be rated"

so what is this article saying, exactly? It seems to directly contradict itself.

I looked at the "RepairPal" it claims to get information from and the latest information they show is from 2019, in which they claim Toyota is less reliable than both Kia and Hyundai.

Don't shoot the messenger.
I've never heard of "RepairPal, but it's not only Edmunds who states the obvious.

Transmission issues, Lower ball joint failure, Daytime running lights melting or burning the headlamp lens, Ultra White paint peeling, and Faulty mass air flow (MAF) sensors.

Anecdotes are cool and all, but I need something more objective than "trust me bro".

Don't trust me. Apparently Edmunds is lying, and all the reliability issues that have been reported are not real.

Did you even read the article you posted? Edmunds didn't rate the reliability of these vehicles because they are brand new.

If you just wanna argue for funsies, reddit is that way. ---->

Not that I care what Edmunds thinks, but I would say their methodology is flawed. Additionally, outside the transmission issues, none of those issues apply to the 2024 model.

Yes. Did you?

What do you think they meant by that?

 

[timetoeatpotatoes]

Nothing; this article is clickbait and you've eaten it hook, line, and sinker.

Okay.

SALTY !

this article is clickbait

No, it's not.

Turns out, it was for the best.

LOL That's what this is all about? You wanted to rationalize your maverick as the "better decision"?

If you wanted a compact truck go enjoy it, you don't need to come troll here any more if you aren't actually interested in the tacoma.

No. Do I even need to?

if you aren't actually interested in the tacoma.

I was very interested in it at some point.

But okay, somehow it's my fault that the new Tacoma is at the bottom of the peer group.
