- In this video, we are going to talk about the current issues with Toyota some say it's not even the same brand as it used to be the quality has gone down and prices have gone up and issues are all over the place with new Toyotas and some say, greed has just completely taken over the company. They use more plastic than ever and to be honest, the build quality it's probably the lowest it's ever been yet the prices are the highest they're gonna have a really rough time selling these overprice Tacoma and tundras.
Go sell that overpriced Taco in Mexico
Lots of tacos in Mexico....lol
I bet your average worker in Mexico is not paying $70,000 for a taco y'all don't even pay 70 grand for a normal house.
Plastic Wheel Trim "That'll be an extra 15,000"
@@davidframe1613 Hm I wonder how much they cost in Mexico. OR maybe Mexicans are banned from buying them😂
@@MegaCityOnethey don’t even bother with the Tacoma. It’s also funny that they get both the Tacoma and the Hilux.
46 grand for a Camry is wild af😂
Toyota is cashing out on their loyal customers with cheap products which will later destroy the company.
yea, all cars prices are up and reliability is down. A camry should be like 30k max, there pricing themselves out of what ppl can afford. Jeep did this where there cherokees are like 70k, thats a joke.
And it runs on batteries!
@@possession3929Actually in my neck of the woods they’re going between 30-38k depending on trim and options. I have no idea where the dealer in this video is but I sure as hell wouldn’t do business with them.
Nope
Toyota needs to learn the hard way sadly, need to listen to customers and not government officials
They won't learn though. I believe that all of the auto companies have done away with the V8 option in their half ton trucks and it is my belief that they will just "fix" the issue with their current engines and never offer a V8 again.
toyota is not what it used to be.
Toyota is a bottom brand with Dodge now.
Nothing lasts forever.
@@4Funner-xtmv yes but it don't need to be disposable
You got that right and you can blame the American management for that they have ruined the company and put profits over quality and it breaks my heart because I have worked for Toyota for over 28 years and its definitely not the same company I hired into all do to the California group who took over in 2015.
In the end, Greed will consume them all.
*us all. Unfortunately.
People will continue financing cars they can’t afford

Highly recommended movie.
Bring back the tried and tested, bulletproof, indestructible, and reliable 5.7
I wish they would but it's not going to happen
That's why I bought my 2021 tundra last of the 5.7s
iForce 5.7 👍👍👍
And the 4.0 and 4.7
They can't because of the EPA who put the screws to the company back in 2020 they made Toyota change the engines for eco reasons and things have not gone well.
Toyota should scrap this years trucks and simply go back the last gen!
Toyota has new leadership I don't think they're that smart to do that.
Probably not climate friendly enough.
@@francismarion6400 if a vehicle doesn't last long that's the worst thing for the climate. All that energy and going into making a vehicle means you have to do it again. Almost looks like they're making cheap vehicles on purpose so you re buy them and they using climate change has a reason to use small engines in big vehicles. But it doesn't make sense
@@davidframe1613 I agree, yet here we are.
I’ll keep my 2010 Tundra forever.. Toyota isn’t building quality anymore…
That's what I told my neighbor that has a 2017 Tundra with the 5.7 V8
Keeping my 2017 5.7 V8 Tundra forever as well
@@spinfish1434 Keeping my 2011 Prius for as long as I can. It’s going strong at 170k miles!
Well is not like the new Prius is having issues, the Prius has always been reliable. Toyota trucks are the ones going downhill sadly.@@Livingthedream157
You know Toyota has really fallen hard when Nissan offers a better truck.
For a better price.
Raised the price and cut the reliability in half . Not a good combo…
Also raise the price put in a smaller motor and moved manufacturing to Mexico. 🤣😂 Someone said we have to maximize profits I wonder if they figure it out before their company goes out of business that they made mistakes.
Just stop buying and that would force the manufacturer to concentrate on quality and realistic pricing 💯
People will ovee pay for trash because it has a warranty and because they can make payments through financing. Essentially poor people pretending they have money because they can make the monthly payments.
The 2024 Tacoma just gave Toyota their 20th year of best selling mid-sized pickup, nearly double the sales of the next closest competitor
A 2.4L turbo-charged 4-cylinder in the Land Cruiser for over $60k? WTF?!! No way! You can let that one rot in the showroom. So sad.
@@Livingthedream157 couldn’t agree more!🙄😳
I'll keep my 17 Taco TRD Sport with a v6 and MANUAL transmission! It will outlast anything they're making now.
That's pretty smart because you can have a new engine and manual transmission put in at a decent price compared to the 70,000 trucks.
@@davidframe1613 TRANSMISSION WILL LAST EASY 1 MILLION MILES OR MORE. THERE IS NOT MUCH BREAKING DOWN IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
That's how I feel about my 2000 Tacoma, with 4-cyl. and manual trans. I wanted something else for a while, but not any more.
Yup. Mine is a 2019 TRD Sport with the manual transmission. Great truck. Sitting at 116,000 miles with zero issues so far.
Getting my 2.7 rebuilt by the car care nut with a new short block. Dealership wanted 15,000.00. Ahmed doing it for 7,500.00. I had frame done for free a few years ago, now a new motor. My 2008 Taco , extended cab, 5 speed, hand crank windows, no electric tailgate or electric parking brake. I'll never have a truck like this again. When its all done I'll have a better truck than a new one and won't have to spend 60,000.00.
Waaaay Overpriced Garbage
After 100k miles, expect to spend $$$ replacing that turbo. No thank you Toyota!
Or maybe even a motor because turbos with high pressure will wear a motor out think of all that global warming to make that new motor. Just thinking it's not under warranty you have to pay for it and you'll have to also go to work and cause a bunch of global warming to buy that new motor just to save a couple dollars on gas because of the EPA.
Wrong. Change your oil. Every 5000-7500 miles. Not 10,000. Keep coolant levels filled and fresh.
@@mistermr.6938 turbo engines have never been a good engine to higher pressures. Even when sports cars only had turbos I never wanted one just because he creates too many problems.
Three dollars for a turbo replacement? Not bad!
I bought a 24 Ridgeline. All time 4wd. Proven V6. No turbo. Proven 9 speed non cvt. 22mpg. Has a bed and a trunk. Has a soft ride due to unibody. Old man truck? Yes. But i’m an old man.
Make sure you get that cylinder deactivation disabled. That system will destroy the engine prematurely.......
YES......GREED is the problem with manufactures. Let them keep their vehicles.
It's actually not that easy, though, but blaming symptoms of collective guilt is convenient.
Short version: The western world of ancient greed is finally meeting its end of sustainability, the economy suffers under the war machine, resources are scarce, thus manufacturers (and dealers) try to adapt to the changed situation based on the path they took. Coping strategies will look different.
'Murks' need to start to understand just how much responsibility they carry for these developments.
in another world, a truck of all things with a 4 cylinder engine should not be going for 60k+
Shouldn't be a 4 cylinder truck unless it's the size of a 1997 Ford ranger two-wheel drive.
Well, we live in this world and that's exactly how it is.
Vero beach Toyota tried to sell me a 2025 Tundra 1794 for $88k otd.
I told them to put me on their do not call list. I didn't even feel like having to haggle them. They can keep it on their lot and let it rot.
Al Hendrickson Toyota in FL was trying sell me a tiny wagon Crown Signia for $62K. I said no thank you! So I understand what you mean.

My local Toyota dealership has over 160 new Tacomas on their lot! Nobody wants them because they are all defective! Let those Toyota trucks rot on the lot!
I’ve driven Toyota trucks exclusively since 1991. I’ll NEVER buy a truck with a turbo!
I Agree no turbo is acceptable
My dealer has 16 Camrys on the lot. They run $33K to $45K Anything under $30K sells. Corollas are selling. They have tons of RAV4 Hybrids. Even the LE AWDs Camrys aren't selling as they also have markups. What I want is a new Camry for $27.5K and I have lots of time to wait.
I was shopping for Camry/Prius/Rav4. They were all 10K above what I wanted to pay for them. I bought a 4Runner because it was the only Toyota that was below MSRP and on my list of possible vehicles.
My mom bought a 2018 camry new transmission went out at 120,000 miles and was $9,000 to replace. Hot garbage
the reason the 4 get lousier mileage, the little 4 banger has to work like hell to move all that, a V6 doesnt have to work so hard in traffic
They said the same when v6 were introduced and v8 were phased out 😂
@@marcd6897 And they were right, Tundra v6 blowing up, turbos failing, and they get nearly the same gas mileage as the v8 🤣
@ same mileage? With both of your eyes closed maybe…
@@marcd6897 Guess you haven’t seen all the RUclips videos and owner reviews comparing the two? Stop drinking the cool aid. 😂
Have you even owned a tacoma? I had a 2000 2.7, 2005 Xrunner, 2016 TRD and a 2021 TRD and those last 3rd gen v6 sucked. It got piss poor MPG i was getting 15.4mpg on average and that was driving it very gently. Plus it had no power and that 6speed auto was soooo horrible in its shift tuning. I wanted to drive my 2016 into a wall sometimes the way the auto would shift. The reason its shit MPG is cause its a brick going down the road. Nothing is going to make it good good MPG. So move along with the stupid comment. No one complained about the turbo 4's back in the 90's trucks. They were sought after compared to the bigger v6. So today its just a bunch of people regurgitating the opinion of someone and it just spreads like wildfire on the internet and its all click bait BS. Also no i do not have a Tacoma anymore so i am not defending it as if I still owned one.
Toyota screwed themselves in just a few years. The people that made these decisions should be fired!!!! I love my 2012 Tacoma. But, I'll never buy another one if they don't get their acts together. That means bring back quality and drop the price!
In 2022 I bought a used 2021 Tundra because I KNEW the 6 cylinder was going to be a problem. My 5.7 V8 will run forever! I am so happy I made the right choice.
Whenever I take my Toyota to the dealership for a simple oil change, they always find a thousand dollars worth of nonsense that I have to do.
I love my 23 Frontier Pro-4x. 37k. I got a loaded Frontier and bought NISMO rims, roof rack, overland bed rack, NISMO ditch lights and a Z1 exhaust for less than it would have cost me for a SR5 4x4 Tacoma
I was just at a Toyota dealership yesterday for only the second time for my 25 year old Tacoma (original owner). Anyway, I went there for them to replace my spare tire lift mechanism. The part was $101. The final bill was $607! But while I was there I noticed the dealership had scores upon scores of employees milling about in the parts/service area. I mean ALOT. But when I went to the sales area, there were literally no customers. NONE. The sales staff were texting on cell phones and just chatting with each other. I went outside to see the new Tacomas and the prices are outrageous. $55,000-$62,000 for a Tacoma? And it is ugly to boot. After paying my ransom to get my truck back, I figured that's how the dealership is paying its bills, by soaking repair customers with excessive pricing and making all they can from the one or two trucks they sell in a day or week. How do you afford a car payment for what can be used to add an extension to your home? I cant speak for the quality of today's Toyotas but my 99 Taco is a keeper but I would never buy a new Tacoma today
They abandoned the Deming model for greed and profit.
thought id never see the day where a 4 popper truck costs 60k
Im an apprentice at a Toyota, and this man is spot on, trucks have been sitting and they can't sell em, barley any cars get delivered considering how expensive life is getting as a whole, if I were you guys I suggest you stick to the older well built Toyotas, they still have more life than any of the newer models.
Blame the government’s EPA regulations.
That's some of it but they lobby the government they should lobby to get rid of these stupid emissions regulations.
True but don't put out junk for big bucks. Its insulting and offensive.
If Nissan can still make a NA V6 engine why can’t Toyota?
@@shapiroshekelberg604 And Honda, even though their truck is not in the truck-chassis category.
46k for a sr5 is insanity . 2023 was 36k
What about 46k for a fully loaded TRD off road?
I paid 37500 last month for my SR5 you go in there and tell them you’re not gonna buy it if they don’t drop the price 5000 and they will. I know several people that have done it
I hope Mazda comes out with a small truck. Mazda is the new Toyota.
Mazda BT50
I sell Tacos and Tundras and they are definitely not popular anymore. It sucks. Everyone wants the V6 on the Tacoma and the V8 on the Tundra back.
They really are shooting themselves in the foot. They sure make it easy for current Toyota owners to look elsewhere when they should be doing the opposite.
Your so right. I`ve been a Tacoma owner since 2000. Been an SR5 owner (4 Tacoma's) for years. They stripped the normal stock options down to nothing. If you option to a normally option SR5 your over 45K without power seats too. I paid 36K for my 2021 SR5 4X4 predator edition. That`s a 9k jump. Normally it`s around 1k increase per year. So, in reality a SR5 previous optioned version should be around 39k with the predator edition. Their doing a Dodge thing (greed) and look what happened to the Ram. I`ll go get a loaded Colorado and get a better optioned vehicle for cheaper. Every Tacoma owner I know says heck on them, their overpriced now with a 4 cylinder. Also look at resale on them now. They don`t have it anymore. Now, I know why they waited so long to put out the price out on them. I believe this is all in the time frame when they got a new CEO like dodge. Maybe they need to take a good look at dodge and how they are trying to get out of situation? Their also doing the add on thing too big time. Does anyone know why you need spray on bedliner for a composite bed? They only good part is my 21 is good quality and I'll drive it for years before i buy something new
I'm spending $26k to upgrade my 2007 Tundra with 180k because its way better then this garbage. The V8 is great. Maybe the cyber truck if they make improvements to range.
I'm done with toyota.
I don't see Toyota surviving 10 years of this model. The new Honda Ridgeline will be Toyota's nail in the coffin.
I used to be a big Toyota fan but not anymore with their new vehicles. That's why I went with the Nissan Frontier when I was in the market for a new truck last year.
I love my 23 Frontier Pro-4x. 37k. I got a loaded Frontier and bought NISMO rims, roof rack, overland bed rack, NISMO ditch lights and a Z1 exhaust for less than it would have cost me for a SR5 4x4 Tacoma
I AM THERE TOO... RIGHT NOW I HAVE 5 TOYOTA'S, 4 OF THOSE ARE 4X4'S AND GUESS WHAT'S NEXT.. NISSAN ARMADA V8 4X4 2024. LOOKS LIKE A LOT ARE MOVING AWAY FROM TOYOTA TRUCKS NOW.
I have a 2017 Tundra, it has the 5.7 its a 4 door, long bed, the only things i have had to replace was tires and a battery , 50k miles so far
Yeah, just buy used single owner Toyotas from the passed 15 years and you will be good. Just bought a 2009 Highlander (made in Japan) with one owner and 100,000 miles, 3.5L V6 4WD. It will probably last me 10+ years. New vehicles are garbage.
Never another. Keeping my 77 FJ40, 01 and 12 TACO....good to go....greed has crippled Toyota.
I have the 2021 Tundra with the V8. You couldn't give me one of the new Tundras. They are pretty but that is it. WAAYYYY over priced and they come with a sedan engine. They should take all those V6 Tundras and melt them down for more beer cans.
I was a Toyota loyalist, but the absolutely insufferable dealerships finally made me switch to Mazda. Toyota needs to do something about their dealers.
That tundra v-6 has to have brand new spark plugs every 40k miles, and it’s a 1000 dollar job at the dealer, worst vehicle Toyota has ever put out… they’ve destroyed the brand name of the tundra.
Your best bet if you want a Tundra, Taco or 4Runner, go out West and buy a used one that is rust free. In 2022 I drove from Pa to Denver and bought a 07 high mileage 213,000 Tundra 4x4 Limited for 16,000. I drove it home, 1250 miles without a hitch. I had a FULL maintenance done and now sit at 252,000 miles. Thing runs like a top. The 3UR-FE is one of the best engines ever made, and my all in investment was right around 20K when you include the maintenance. I will have this truck until they plant me in the ground.
I got a 2025 Corolla LE for 25k. What do you guys think?
The best vehicle is the one you have
I know a guy with a new one,28.000 miles. Motor blew. He is getting a new one , but it looks like its going to be a big,long hassle. What you are hearing is actually true, its not just a few. Toyota has completely turned the wrong direction
even my 70 year old mother knows Toyota is crap nowadays. she's owned multiple camrys and her latest car is a 20 infiniti q40 it's totally paid off and she adores it...made in Japan, not freaking Mexico.
My local Toyota dealers still have low inventory of new Tacomas, but the lots are absolutely full of new Tundras.
I would not underestimate the Nissan frontier with the naturally aspirated V6. It’s a very good truck very reliable. I have an older model Nissan frontier that I have been driving for 11 years and 160,000 miles and no issues whatsoever none. The prices on the Nissans are a little high, but they’re a lot more bearable. You can even get a pro 4X with a electronic locking differential if that’s your thing. If you’re strict with the maintenance on these trucks, there’s absolutely no reason that the truck can’t last 200,000 300,000 miles.
If the Tacoma is gonna be made in Mexico, then it should be a lot cheaper especially with the turbo 4 banger. For its price point it should be made in Japan or in America where both countries build their products with quality and it should also have a V6.
One of the Toyota dealerships close to where I live had wheel locks "installed" for $350 on their trucks! The hardware costs $30 on Amazon and takes 10 minutes to replace the four factory lug nuts. Shameful!
Apsolutly right I'm very loyal customer of toyota for 30 years and now I'm discussed terribly with quality plastics prices garbage 2.4 turbo 4 cilinder engine terrible very bad for toyota no good
Totally agree. Damn shame about Toyota. I hope they see the error in their ways and come back to the powerhouse they once were. Change for the sake of change is not always a good thing. Too bad.
As a Toyota fanboy it pains me to say you are absolutely right. Toyota has lost their way. Greed took over. Quality went down and prices went up. Toyota is now Hyundai, cheap crap.
Dealers are killing it with the mark ups
If I ever buy another Toyota it certainly won't be a new one. Reliability on the new stuff is questionable and it's overpriced.
I have wanted a Toyota pick up since Back to the Future. I never bought one because it was never affordable to me. I bought a 1999 F150 and kept it for 20 years. In 2024, I wanted a truck. I bought a Nissan Titan. Toyota trucks are not on my radar. I did buy a 2023 4Runner because it was the only Toyota I felt was a deal in the past 4 years.
Can you ask them to remove the BS stuff ?
They're not going to the customer will remove it once they go out of business.
ALL manufacturers were given GREEN ENERGY TAX INCENTIVES (think, "an offer you can't refuse") to install tiny, turbo-charged engines into their trucks.
Went from fj, Taco, 3 4runners, and a Highlander. The pricing has gotten so offensive I literally switched to Porsche and Audi ( always buy new or certified) and I will never turn back. Well, to be fair...I peek back every once in a while, but the value prop makes no sense anymore.
Some posters have to accept the fact that they dont earn a high wage. If you got the bucks, 60k for a 2025 taco is not unreasonable. Loaded with features, hybrid power, whats not to love. All the "reliability" arguments are just conjecture at this point. Lets see in 10 years.
I will admit, I miss the access door version. Side impact protection standards couldn't be met without the door pillars. Oh well, ill consider it a nicely upholstered storage nook
If u can afford this per se,and you're still buying this junk use some of the money to get your head examined.....NONE of these trucks are even close to the stupid prices they are asking.....
@@johnnyfreeman1018 says you
@billetboy4070 fair point
Toyota Tacomas sold for around $30k just 5 years ago and are among the most reliable vehicles ever made. Aside from the TRD variants, the Tacoma is supposed to be an ECONOMY TRUCK. Whether you can afford it or not, the price for the new version is a complete rip off - you could buy two of them 5 years ago for the price of just one today!
TOYOTA should take a look at what's going on with JEEP and start getting the 35% off msrp signs ready 😂😂😂😂😂
Jeep has vehicles from 2020 they ain't sold yet. That's gonna be Toyota soon. 🤣🤣
Time to humble these dealerships 💪🏻
👍 yup among other things also
Toyota dealerships refuse to negotiate in good faith, because they know after you leave, someone else will walk in and pay the MSRP price. I attempted to negotiate the 2024 4runner and they blew the deal over $1,200. Toyota puts greed and profit over their customers.
Looking like my 2019 Tacoma will be my last new truck. Nobody makes a quality truck these days.
I'm keeping my 2021 Tacoma TRD Pro made in the U.S.A., which I affectionately call "Storm Trooper"
I’ve been a loyal Toyota owner since 1986. I’ve seen the quality go down year after year. I’m looking at other manufacturers.
Toyota, the biggest rice burner of the 21st century. Kon'nichiwa.
Sad to see Toyota quality going down so quickly. $46k for a Camry? Nope. Never
that’s why I ignored all new vehicles and bought a CPO LX 570
Went to Discount Tire to get my tire fixed on my Tacoma. I gave them my phone number to pull up my account. The salesperson. “The 2007 Tacoma?” I had forgotten what year truck
Was. “Yes”.
I have a Mitsubishi Outlander 0mile brand new 34k I love it when 50k miles Highlander still cost 39k they can keep they Toyota 😂
Tom, Tell us what you really think ;-) Fully agree with your assessment!
The new Camry sounds old when you start it up. Even from an ICE I expect to barely hear my brand new car. It should sound smooth and feel smooth as silk. And they don’t. They sound fairly rough.
no
Yes over price Mexican made 4 cylinder turbo that who knows how long it will run for. So glade we purchased a 2024 4Runner pro before they ruin them too
I think it's interesting that the only thing that matters to auto manufacturers today is "MPG" and "Emissions", not longevity. Sure, MPG might be improved, but how much waste and pollution goes into making more vehicles because the new ones don't last? When you see an old Toyota Tundra from the early 2000's that is still on the road with 300,000 miles and counting, just think about how much pollution and waste from manufacturing was saved because someone is still able to own and drive that truck today. I think a huge source of pollution are these EV's and I don't believe that an EV made today will be on the road in 10-15 years.
Southeast Toyota Distributor is as bad or worse than gulf states.
5 years from now people will be saying that tacoma was the best they ever made. And the most dependable
Had new Toyotas from 1986 until now. No desire to trade my 5.7 Tundra for the overpriced ,low quality product they are putting out now. Greed is an unfortunate aspect of a capitalist society.
There’s no replacement for displacement! These turbo vehicles will be 150k miles vehicles at best. Making the trade and resale value nothing!
Let TRD Jon look into all new Toyota problems.
I'm going to wait 3-4 years to buy my next Toyota. They're having issues now. They will get it fixed; they always do.
We've bought three new Toyotas the past 25 years. No more.
Our local dealer will take a deposit to order a Raw 4 Hybrid. We have no clue when it may arrive and it have any number of options and cost added we don't want and have no choice in. Nope. Done with Toyota.
Problem is… people and fan boys keep buying them, and as long as they do, they’ll keep hiking that price. Because they can.
I am on my 7th Toyota trucks. Not near so good today as the older ones. Wish there was a good option. They have screwed them up a lot. I should have some ideal. My first truck was in 85 and I always do all my own maintaince. Replace clutches, change cylinder head, etc.
I will never buy the turbocharged garbage of ANY manufacturer.
No Mas Toyota
No 4 cylinder Turbo
Blame the EPA emission requirements. Car makers have to meet the lower standards. Turbos are the only way to do it.
Turbos are then a nail in the coffin for a quality product. They can keep their trash. Just like all the recalled turbo models they have now. Fools and their money
It lost me when the prices increase went up.
I don’t drive my 2016 Tundra very often but when I do I really like it, a lot.
I didn’t mind the 2.7 4 cylinder. It was a 500k engine. NO TURBOS!!!
Yeah it ain’t terrible for a work truck
Brother. you're not sugar coating anything, and that is what I like, no BS, no flowery talk, just the truth. May the Lord Jesus bless you, yours, and your channel.
I started driving Toyota/Lexus to get away from Turbo issues
$10k off in Kansas City Tundra's. So how much of this is manufacturer reduction vs dealer reduction?
I bought a 2025 new Camry LE for 28k plus tax. I love it.
