weight into a 1.5 difference in quarter mile times. Reliability is Toyota's mainstay, crazy they are charging so much too.

A nifty little graphic that shows just how far behind the competition,

Ridgeline is right there with Tacoma in reliability

The new one isn’t old enough to say the definitively

The new Tacoma is having significant issues with the engine and transmission

Vocal minority, IMO.

A vocal minority are trading them in, but there is enough noise on the Tacoma owners Facebook page for it

Yeah. There has been TSBs issues for the transmission thing as well.

Perhaps that tells you those aren’t the most meaningful metrics in that segment.

What Toyota does well

Well, and performance in meangful metrics and measurable for the segment.

They run forever and don't break down.

It would be awesome if they sold that truck in the US.

What does it do well? They stick a Toyota logo on it.

Holy crap, none of that has anything to do with offroading. Maybe that's why the Americans suck so bad at a midsized

Ragnar Danneskjold

Yeah, cause off roading is the number one use of mid-sized trucks.

The Tacoma was updated in 2016. It's brand new with a new drivetrain and platform.

Bert609

2/23/19 11:12am

It should be. And Toyota knows this. That's why they are killing it.

Who wants to own a Honda Ridgeline AWD?

Those who care more about quality and functionality over looks

I ask that, too, but then I see people driving them.

Who chose those metrics? Mary Barra?

PJMort

That's true. Most people prefer the vehicle that has less power, worse fuel

Best approach angle, best departure angle, best value, best

Bert609

2/23/19 11:16am

For midsized trucks?

PJMort

2/23/19 11:55am

Tacoma is also the best looking of the bunch, by far.

Manti

2/23/19 10:15am

Agreed. Looks awesome. But drives like crap.

Toyota is by far the best bang for the buck, especially off road
