Paul I feel your grief its not good when your working truck goes down.these Toyota tacomas just keep going and are super dependent .I have had 5 in the last 45 years a 79,84 both stick shift and a 91,03,now a 2010 automatic I don't want to go back to stick shift. you gotta have the 4x4 low for the automatic trans to be any good to ya.i buy all used and look for deal all these trucks were good but the 2010 is best so far. I had frame problems also the o3 Toyota put a new frame under it springs,brake lines the whole bit no cost to me,my son got it now. good luck with the tranny may you be back on road soon

You should have bought that extended warranty from the guy that called and said you should have got something in the mail!!

You should have bought that extended warranty from the guy that called and said you should have got something in the mail!! The guy just laughed when I told him how many miles are on it. He said it didn't qualify. I got a recall on it for the frame, took it in, and it was fine. They gave me a 15 year warranty on the frame, and the rust showed up 6 months after that 15 year warranty expired.

Paul, You have had such bad luck with Toyotas!
Didn't you drive your Dad’s truck after he passed and put like 200,000 more miles on it? I got dad's 95 Tacoma after he passed. It had 36,000 miles on it when I got it, and when I sold it, it had 529,000+ miles on it. Dad's is the green one. The silver one is the one I'm currently driving, well will be when transmission is fixed.

My old 2004 Canyon with 225,000 miles on it, has a 5 speed. The 3.5L 5 cylinder engine. I replaced the clutch at 175,000 miles. Wasn't needed either. I was under there and watched the shop pull it out. They were surprised as much as me. New pressure plate, disc and throw-out bearing. Flywheel was in great shape. Not like the old days when my Chevy hit 100,00 it was junk.

Are hondas as dependable as toyota? i think i got a lemon on our vehicle... My daughter and wife drive Honda Civics. We've had very good reliability from them. Our first one was a 96 hatchback. It went like a tank through the snow and got high-thirties mpg. My wife drove it for more than 400,000 miles then handed it down to our youngest daughter (oldest daughter already had her own Civic). The youngest daughter put another 150,000 miles on it (550,000+ total miles) before driving it to the junk yard a couple of years ago. It wouldn't pass another inspection because road salt rotted the frame/body. If not for rust we might still be driving it. My wife drives a 2018 turbocharged Civic (six-speed manual). She won't me drive it unless she's with ever since I told her I want to try drifting with it.
Eh...wot?
