Is the 4th Gen Taco a hit or a miss?

I liked my 01 tundra too, but it didn't come without a couple initial complaints that I found ways to fix them. I piled up nearly 300k miles before too many higher cost issues told me it was time to send it down the road. All I can say is my 2020 taco must of been built by a team of elite workers. and robots as it's about as perfect as any truck you'd want.

I like not having all the Nannys in my '16 its a little more simple than my friends 2020. Its a dbl cab long bed it's only a couple inches shorter and skinnier than my tundra I measured them before I sold the tundra . its been good to me and I just put in the gas piston hood kit best thing for f'up shoulders. Had to rotators done last winter not fun ,don't fall on the ice while salting a driveway on a hill

I wonder why post #99 is the same as #103?
As for the nanny crap in later gen3's such as I have, I disabled most of it, and desensitized the rest so it's pretty much just a simple truck now. The fully adjustable driver side power seat in the 2020 was a game changer after I checked out a 2019 the dealer tried to sell me that had been sitting on his lot as a leftover. You just gotta love how smooth these 3.5 v6's run. Many times I think its stalled out, yet its runs so quiet, and smooth you don't know its still running.....and the transmission is flawless, shifts spot on, buttery smooth...I don't know why they get so many bad reviews. Even the 4wd system when you push the button...except for the green 4wd display lit, you'd never know its in 4wd. My tundra always sounded like the transfer case was about to fall out when going in, or out of 4wd.

From what I've learned the **** off feature does not engage the starter ,the system picks the cylinder at top dead center then fires it so no starter is used just compression
