Yeah sometimes toyotas arent the best. Just bad luck. But usually (most of the time) luck is good.

Sounds like you just got a bad seed! Most times you can't go wrong with Toyota and after having owned a Ford and a Chevy I can say the Tacoma is leaps and bounds ahead of them...but fortunately I don't have nearly as many problems as you have with yours. A few minor issues but nothing too big of a deal.

I actually tore my front right bed mounting bolt from the bed itself. The weight in the bed just tore the metal and ripped out the bolt. I still haven't fixed it yet.
