But I find it interesting how as soon as you start talking about all the problems you are having you instantly turn to saying how much better a Toyota is.... Now, could the problems you say you are having be caused from abuse? Misuse? You said no, but gave some interesting examples of the use of your Tacoma's. And why three Tacoma's? I'm in the rock business so I have first hand knowledge of the examples you used. First off, towing a Bobcat with a Tacoma?!?!?!? And with NO trailer brakes?!?!?!?? Are you crazy??? That is just down right irresponsible! Extremely dangerous! First of all you were towing something that was way over it's limits and then on top of that, without trailer brakes. I would call that abuse as well as misuse! The second example you gave was loading it with rock to the point where the springs were compressed all the way and then you would take it offroading. Whenever I have my guys load trucks with rock I never have them take the truck off of a paved surface due to the incredible stress on the frame and drivetrain. I know what doing that does to a truck and it's just not needed when the truck is loaded. You did it while the truck was obviously overloaded. I would call this second example abuse.

You say you don't abuse the Titan, hmmm...I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

I really dind't abuse this truck, most I ever towed was 3 fourwheelers. Yeah I abused the toyota's, but it never failed me. I bought 3 of them because I got the first one, a base 4wd, no radio, no a/c (they added the a/c) when I was 18 right out of high school, and then went to a loaded daycab, then a loaded ext cab. I was as gentle as you can be with a truck, never raced it, I never even took it off road, except say the road to the ATV park, which was gravel and packed where a car could drive on it smoothly.

Given that I am having the same issue's as others, I would be careful trying to make excuse's for the truck. I loved the truck, but I didn't spend that kinda money to be let down. If I can convince myself the issue's are fixed in the 07's I would by a new one, if not might get a super duty ford. I haven't really decided what I am going to get next.



My personal belief is the titan engine is just to much for the rest of the drivetrain.

4x4 high is shift on the fly. to disengage the 4x4 Lo follow these steps 1.stop the truck 2. put in park or netural 3. hold the brake then change the 4 wheel drive back to 2x4 or 4x4 high.
