@@mattwebb6437 Why are you hoping for this? The consumer is going to feel everything as a result. Toyota will not be hurt, they can simply pull the plug and focus on the Hilux as they Hilux outsells the Tacoma anyways.
Talked to a toyota dealer several months ago about a new tacoma, and I mentioned interest in the Nissan truck as well since it was cheaper. The dealer was still pushing toyota quality in discussions and wasn't interested in discounting.
It’s funny 3 of my neighbors have jeeps 2017-2023 and never had any problems with their jeeps. 2 neighbors have Toyotas Tacoma’s 2021-2023 and have several problems some severe. I was shocked but now it all over the news about Toyota’s. They turned to junk fast.
Can we all curse the EPA? Their rules are asinine and have no merit. Boosted engines should not be necessary because there shouldn't be stupid air-pump limitations on fractional additional plant food. (aka See Oh Two)
RTV at certain points of the valve covers on Subarus isn't uncommon. WRXs have this, but I don't recall it ever being a widespread issue like the BRZ. I did mine on the WRX... No issues.
You ain’t kidding about Toyota lots packed to the gills with Tacomas. Lowe Toyota here in middle Georgia has 57 Tacomas according to their website and none of them are 2025s!
I heard a dealer told me a toyota Gr 86 blew an engine on new car. Suburu makes the engine for Gr86. My son has a 2021 toyota tacoma white paint and it was built in Texas plant and white paint chiping off car from brand new. Do not get a white tacoma. They moved production now to Mexico
Yes, there are more toyota trucks in dealership lots than pervious years. Not sure why they would boost up production unless they would somehow bring back pervious generations lol.
my guess is that they have to go back to charging a more realistic price which means that they will have to sell more to achieve the profits they want. Toyota had switched to making less vehicles creating an artificial shortage so that they could charge more. now they have just about run out of idiots willing to pay huge markups they have to return to normal manufacturing numbers. that supply chain excuse has run its course.
The 3rd gen sold like hot cakes in Canada. Lots don’t really get a ton of stock for the 4th gen so sale numbers are low. Now Chev/GM have better incentives for the mid size market and arguably a better truck. Toyota has such a nasty interest rate it turns average consumers off.
Saying the 4Runner will be built in Japan could just be some initial marketing hype to suggest things are just like the old days. They can move the 4Runner to Mexico and then consolidate Land Cruiser to one plant in Japan.
@@cflip7452 Are you serious? You really think one of the worlds biggest automaker in the world cannot make a sports car? Lol, it's not that they can't, it's simply that it doesn't make sense for them to invest millions into R&D for a car that sold less than 3,000 units. Toyota makes its most amount of sales off commuter vehicles, it makes zero sense from a business aspect for them to actually develop their own in house sports car.
@@westcoastplinkin6559yes, also if they built it then it would cost way more then it cost now so yeah. Also it doesn't matter how big a company you are, cause problems happen like right now....recalls 🤨
Curious about Trump’s tariffs if and when they’ll be implemented during his term. Toyota and other companies that outsourced their production to other countries are a little worried I’m sure!?🤷♂️😳
@Jason-Samko our prime Minister Justine " I'm a feminist " Trudeau met Trump for dinner discussion past Friday and all announcements after are the tariffs are definitely getting applied,at least short term.. Its going to kick your economy in the canakers,ours too
Tariffs will be paid by the purchasers of those Tacomas built in Mexico, because the prices will rise. If Toyota builds all Tacomas in the USA, the prices will also rise because it costs more to build them in the USA.
@@westcoastplinkin6559yeah at some point it just ain't worth it for a giant corp like them anymore. Chicken tax already screwed the US out of Hilux market and now there's another tariff for the Hilux alternative. At this point Toyota has more than enough reason to consider North America truck market a lost cause to them.
2024 Tacoma sales was down but you guys donated 10k more for 4th gen and production cost reduction, Toyota might have earned more money than 3rd gen sales back in 2023.
Mannnn that Subaru and Toyota engine has been a running on joke since like 2015 lol I think then if you have like a WRX you need like spare engines cause they're made like glass.
This is surprising by toyota to add production in Mexico with a possible 25% Tariff. You would think they would try to split production like they did with the 3rd gen. Half in Mexico and half in the US. I would think that they know something the rest of us don't. But it seems like Stelantis is in a panic about the tariffs and trying to move production back to the US in short order. Just really perplexing to say the least.
C’mon guys. These kind of corporate decisions are NOT done on a 3-week notice. You don’t just decide in 3 weeks that you pump 1.5 BILLION dollars into production in a plant in a country. LOL That kind of decision takes probably at least six months in a corporation the size of Toyota. They probably decided on this in April.
@@is6566 No argument from me. Your 100% right. These are long term decisions. But I would think with what the new administration has said they (Toyota) would hold back on the announcement and rethink their strategy. Kinda hard to turn back a decision like this.
@djjd… Probably they couldn’t get out of announcing it, because of contractual obligations. It will be interesting to see how that works out. I still don’t think there will be 25% tariff (or not long term at least). With T these economic sanctions are just means of getting unrelated policy or national security concessions from other countries. But with the guy you never know.

I guess beating up on Toyota gets more clicks 🤣🤣🤣 , I have CoWorkers going through it with there Ford and GM trucks with warranty issues. Oh YES they are getting pissed on there back and the service advisors telling them it’s rain 🌧️😢😢😢
Toyota better pray Trump doesn’t put a 25% tariff on cars imported into the US from Mexico.
Here's hoping he does this for Tacos and Silverado as well
@@mattwebb6437 I am with you

@@westcoastplinkin6559well GM needs to move production back to us or they’ll failed and don’t be looking for another bail out either 😊
This is sad. I used to be a huge Toyota fan.
Talked to a toyota dealer several months ago about a new tacoma, and I mentioned interest in the Nissan truck as well since it was cheaper. The dealer was still pushing toyota quality in discussions and wasn't interested in discounting.
@paulgordo7505 id expect that. But I'd still buy the frontier personally

What issue? I have 2019 with 85,000miles no issue.
What’s not funny is 21 tundra selling for what they cost new.
Just made a video about thst a few weeks ago and have another one coming out about tacoma. Same situation i just saw on a lot locally
Can we all curse the EPA? Their rules are asinine and have no merit. Boosted engines should not be necessary because there shouldn't be stupid air-pump limitations on fractional additional plant food. (aka See Oh Two)
Epa is a money grab company
FACTS
Yes, the fault of the EPA, which was established by Republican President Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon and his Republican administration.
Special interest air breathers causing problems. They seem to prefer to breath air they can't see.
Hopefully DOGE neuters the EPA.
RTV at certain points of the valve covers on Subarus isn't uncommon. WRXs have this, but I don't recall it ever being a widespread issue like the BRZ. I did mine on the WRX... No issues.
Yes. Out here in Los Angeles we have tons of tacomas sitting on dealer lots.
I have order one off road ,have to wait for 4 months
You ain’t kidding about Toyota lots packed to the gills with Tacomas. Lowe Toyota here in middle Georgia has 57 Tacomas according to their website and none of them are 2025s!
@hdfxst1521 yep. It's Crazy the amount of inventory of tacomas and now they want to up production.
I heard a dealer told me a toyota Gr 86 blew an engine on new car. Suburu makes the engine for Gr86. My son has a 2021 toyota tacoma white paint and it was built in Texas plant and white paint chiping off car from brand new. Do not get a white tacoma. They moved production now to Mexico
Toyota has had issues with their white paint going back years.
Up here in Ontario Canada we have no Tacomas
We get them allocated here in Kingston and there sold immediately so the lot is empty except for tundras nothing else
Send those Tacoma's to Canada, they are in short supply and dealers are demanding msrp for them
Gonna hurt when those Tacos cost 25% more 😂
Yes, there are more toyota trucks in dealership lots than pervious years. Not sure why they would boost up production unless they would somehow bring back pervious generations lol.
Trying to bring in cars before the tariffs
my guess is that they have to go back to charging a more realistic price which means that they will have to sell more to achieve the profits they want. Toyota had switched to making less vehicles creating an artificial shortage so that they could charge more. now they have just about run out of idiots willing to pay huge markups they have to return to normal manufacturing numbers. that supply chain excuse has run its course.
Sounds like they’re preparing to move 4Runner to Mexico,what a mistake that would be.
That is a very interesting point
Perhaps the Tacoma is selling better in Canada, as that’s also the market for the Tacomas built in Mexico.
So strange that Canada is getting very few inventory of Tundra and Tacoma's. Keeping the inventory low and price very very high.
The 3rd gen sold like hot cakes in Canada. Lots don’t really get a ton of stock for the 4th gen so sale numbers are low. Now Chev/GM have better incentives for the mid size market and arguably a better truck. Toyota has such a nasty interest rate it turns average consumers off.
Maybe Toyota is building up capacity to shift other vehicles to Mexico at a later date, maybe even the 4Runner.
@tom5605 interesting point. The article said tacoma. But your thought makes better sense.
Saying the 4Runner will be built in Japan could just be some initial marketing hype to suggest things are just like the old days. They can move the 4Runner to Mexico and then consolidate Land Cruiser to one plant in Japan.
@tom5605 very true and interesting point.
To be fair, that is a Subaru engine
True
To be fair Toyota can’t build a sports car hence BMW Supra lol

Extra Tacomas mean cheaper prices for fanboys to buy an inferior truck. I do hope Toyota gets this Tundra/Tacoma thing figured out!
I'm not sure what toyota is thinking upping the production. They have sooo many available
Toyota relaibily has gone down the drain, what happened to this company😢
For their trucks, Yes; their cars are still pretty solid compare to other

Yup that's what I'm talking about. At least it's free, but good lord the thing doesn't even have 400 miles on it yet.
What the heck is going on 🤷🏼♀️❔️🤦🏼
Wonder the same myself
Looking forward to the 25% Trump tax on Mexican Tacomas.
Tariffs will be paid by the purchasers of those Tacomas built in Mexico, because the prices will rise.
If Toyota builds all Tacomas in the USA, the prices will also rise because it costs more to build them in the USA.
If I was Toyota I would just pull the plug on the Tacoma and Tundra and focus on the Hilux worldwide. It sells better anyways.

@@gxkjerrygao7635 Yup, it’s not like they depend on the NA truck market segment anyways. The RAV4 alone outsells the Tundra 4:1.
Will be interesting to see how all those stuff unfolds
Ramp up production when they aren't selling 🤔🤦🤷
My thoughts exsctly
2024 Tacoma sales was down but you guys donated 10k more for 4th gen and production cost reduction, Toyota might have earned more money than 3rd gen sales back in 2023.
What is your real with toyota?
I do not like how toyota treats their customers. toyota walks over them and thinks their customers are not smart.
3.5 V6 blows water pumps and cross contaminates oil water 💦 when they do . Big cost 💲 $$ fix
Mannnn that Subaru and Toyota engine has been a running on joke since like 2015 lol I think then if you have like a WRX you need like spare engines cause they're made like glass.
Tacoma new ones transmission junk overpriced not reliable at all tundra just do not buy
Sad but true 😒
