2024 Toyota Tacoma......finally someone is taking note

[BRTreedogs]

I’d rather not have their factory installed options at a more expensive price. I’d rather put what I want on it and it’ll be a cheaper price, to boot.

These types packages are for folks who don’t know how to put stuff on or don’t mind overpaying for what they are getting.

Its cheaper until they void your warranty because you installed aftermarket parts.

This. Looks to me that the TRD offroad with the manual will be the right one to purchase. Will like be 10 to 15k less than the TRD Pro and Trail Hawk.

I've had several oem rotors warp on various cars over the years and had good luck with drilled and slotted rotors. Even cheap ones off of ebay.

Maybe I should do the Lexus swap and rear disk swap.
But idk if its in the cards for awhile.

Plus my 91 has so many years of stuff on it. I should of made a cheat sheet. Because now when I need replacements I can't remember what all I've swapped on.

@BRTreedogs

I will PM you the parts list I have for: Rotors, calipers, pads, dust shields and hoses.

These are larger diameter and thicker vented rotors for a much heavier vehicle, they will not warp.

They haven’t voided my warranty at all, so…..

Laws vary but generally, no, the warranty cannot be voided in entirety due to aftermarket parts. If the part causes a failure then you can/will have an issue. Interestingly enough, a friend had a Subaru in which the warranty stated would be voided if the vehicle was taken off road. Strange considering their ads show them off road all the time. Also of note, there can be language regarding off road driving voiding warranty claims. Even on 4x4 pickups and such. Good to actually read the warranty.

While yes this is true if you Google it.
But in actual application they will deny you and tell you to lawyer up.

Are you gonna spend 10k on a lawyer or just go ahead and pay for the repair.

My brother lost a 5.7 hemi motor.

They told him since the dealer didn't change the oil it was on him.
A hand written log, and receipts for oil filters etc wasn't sufficient proof. And this was on an oem stock Ram pick up.

He asked about why it was denied. And the service manager told him it was because he can and that his options we to sue the dealership.

Pay for the work that had been done so far and tow the truck away, or pay to have the repair done.

When asked about calling corporate he said go ahead I don't care, the market is good and for every customer he looses he gains 2, they have a wait list of work and he just doesn't care at all.

They can deny you all they want and make you fight it. I've seen it lots of times. The burden is on you if they want it to be.

Sounds like y’all went to the wrong dealer. My dealer actually offer to put my stuff on and said that it wouldn’t affect the warranty whatsoever.

The South and the West are two different worlds my man.

Especially dealer ships. I think the dealerships in the west would cut there own infants throat for $500 bucks.
There ain't no bodys or friends up here.
It profit or profit, if you ain't seen as profit your not seen.

Saying it won't effect your warranty because thats what you want to hear. And it not actually effecting your warranty when it comes time are two different things.

Imo there is not a bigger lying scum on earth the dealerships.

 

[BRTreedogs]

A completely different dealer. I bought a used truck. Told them I was lifting it so I didn't want to buy the warranty. Salesman told me ohh I got this one that doesn't care about lift kits. $3300

Day six had a vibration documented that they couldn't reproduce.
Day 7 had the truck lifted.
Day 8 returned to let them know it still had a vibration.
Guy looked out the window and said ohh its lifted your warranty is void.

That is up to the individual. Either sue and win, or take it and walk away. Unfortunately, too many people allow a service manager to be the end all be all decision maker. That or they're afraid to sue. When I was in the biz many years ago the company was sued twice. We were 100% in the right, had proper docs, and still lost. The consumer has a lot of power in those cases, believe it or not. When we bought my wife's Kia, the dealer tried to pull that same nonsense; either the dealer performs all maintenance or the warranty is void. I kindly told them that that is not only wrong but illegal. The warranty is (generally) from the manufacturer, not the dealer. Either way, that has nothing to do with aftermarket accessories voiding a warranty.

Just wait til the vehicle market catches up with the equipment stuff.

Lots of companies have additives in their fluids, if you get a warranty claim, first thing they do is test your fluids. Everything needs to be their specific oil, coolant, etc.

Lol. Whatever makes you feel better. It doesn’t void the warranty.

If you let them get away with treating you that way, it’ll always be that way.

Ok so you have had major problems with a modified vehicle and they covered it no problem?

Or have you just had good luck with modified vehicles never had any problems and just speculate they won't give you any trouble.

Are you speaking with facts and experience or just making things up?

You could be being totally lied to and not have a clue.

 

[BRTreedogs]

So your saying you would spend thousands of additional dollars on a lawyer over just paying for the repairs to prove a point?

Are you rich? Just independently wealthy? Dads money?

Because when I came time to pony up the cash I bet you would bow out.

But you and I disagree in every single thread you engage in.

So I'm out. I don't think there is talking any sense in you since I think your just a big internet talker.

Again, if the part is the culprit, you could have issues with warranty. My Ram is lifted 2", with a slightly larger tire than stock. It cracked a manifold (common on the 5.7) and it was warrantied without question. Had I messed with the exhaust it may have gone another way. But the mere modification did not void any warranty.

The beauty of the early Tacomas was that they were small, fuel efficient, extemely dependable and resonably priced. Along with being a fantastic 4x4 vehicle. Toyota continues to make them larger so now they're a mid size p.u. with total crap for fuel mileaege and a huge price tag. I wish they would take them back to what they were and make a separate mid size with all the goodies for those that want one.

I agree completely. I've had 4 toyotas over the years. 1986 sold with 260k for the same price I paid for it. 1996 with 150k on it that I sold for 3k less than I paid for it. A 2007 with 140k on it that I sold for 4k less than I paid for it. And a 2016 with 100k that I'm still driving. They have gotten progressively bigger over that time period.

But, I will keep buying them as the only things I've had to replace was a set of plug wires on the 1996, a starter on the 1986, headlights on the 2007 and a CPS on the 2016. Don't get me started on how much money and parts I sank into two full size chevys I had during that same period. Oh, and I sold them both for 10s of thousands less than I bought them for.

Lastly Toyota is the only company with enough balls to still make a pickup that has a manual transmission. Which I insist on. So, in another 50k to 100k miles ill will for sure by this new truck and have no reservation about adding aftermarket parts as I simply have not had problems to warranty with others in the past.

 

[nevadabugle]

P.s. I'm a Toyota Fan boy and I will readily admit it. But the above info is the truth.
Additionally, my wife and i have an FJ with 150k (not a single problem) and a 2014 Tundra with 100k (not a single problem).
