      Toyota has really dropped the ball with reliability. The fact that the Tacoma has below average reliability is amazing because it has historically been very reliable.

      Apparently they’re trying a lot of new engines and other components that haven’t had the kinks worked out yet.

        They didn’t use the non-hybrid Camry or the 4Runner for their data. I think those two models would’ve bumped it up a spot at least.

        That has been typical when Toyota has changed it up in the past, but they’ll recover.

          Yep. They tend to use components for a long time, constantly iterating and fixing issues.

            I mean once they find something bulletproof they’ll use it forever. My 2020 has some wiring that have been used since the 80s.

        I’ll just keep rocking my 2008 Tundra (5.7 V8) that I bought new in December of 2007 until the wheels fall off. Been paid off since 2011.

        It is a shame to see Toyota not at the top, my truck has been amazing.

          Good choice. Those things are tanks. You’ll be rocking it for the rest of your life.

      As first time owner of one this year, this is good news for me.

        I was also a first time Subaru owner this year… Of a '93 Loyale. I don’t think this news affects me.
