That does seem high. I thought my miles were impressive. Bought mine in April 2024 and I've cleared the 56,000 mark. Sure glad I bought an extended warranty, but the way things are going I may have wasted my money. Running great. No issues.

I have had no issues with the interior. I was in a hurry to get the truck and accepted one with the black interior. Unfortunately it really shows stains. My previous truck was a desert tan with beige interior, and it hid dirt and stains well. Two things I miss from my old truck are the little...

Actually I received it in late April. I drive a lot. It sucks, but what a comfortable truck. Couldn't do it in a Ford.

I've been driving Toyota trucks since 1990. Even though my 2024 has proven a disappointment in some regards, I like the way it drives. I've already put 54K miles on it, and so far so good. Even though my VIN # falls into the batch that have had transmission issues I've had none. The competition...

I have small areas on the front bumper where the paint seems to have been worn away exposing the plastic underneath. Yet I haven't hit anything or driven through brush. I drive many freeway miles and I wonder if road grit has abraded the paint away. Makes me think the paint is very thin. I'll...

I have the same issue with my silver truck. There is one very obvious spot where the mismatched paint has a defined outline. It looks like a small triangle where the paint is flat instead of sparkling. Definitely an annoying thing to live with on a new truck. I've been less than impressed with...

I had similar issues with my celestial silver paint job. The dealership was very accommodating. They called in a Toyota representative who examined the paint job and agreed that it had what he called, "mottling." Not sure if I spelled that word correctly. Anyways, he took an instrument and...

Thanks. I appreciate your advice. It does seem about right.

I just had a 30K factory service. Seems like they did very little besides changing the oil and filter, and inspecting the floor mat. Admittedly, they say they inspected a few other things, but this so-called service cost me a very long wait. I was there for almost three hours, and struggled to...

My 2005 Tacoma had a Snugtop which was great. No complaints. When I went to order the shell for my 2024 they told me that ARE is now considered a step above Snugtop and Leer. Plus they came out with a shell first and I needed one ASAP. They did the replacements for free, so no complaints there...

I got an ARE camper shell for my 2024 long bed as soon as it was available. Three things are worth mentioning. First, the color match for celestial silver isn't great. Acceptable, but... Second, I had to get the opener pistons replaced. During freezing weather they would barely hold the back...

I just had to drive a Ford F-150 for a week while my 2024 Tacoma was being repaired. Nope, it wasn't a reliability issue that sent it to the shop. Rather, I got rear-ended. To the discussion, all I can say is go drive the competition for a week and get back to me. There is no serious...

I just removed one and was surprised to find some fairly thick grease/lubricant inside the door where the plug fits in.

I didn't remove the plugs. I don't know if they serve the purpose of keeping dust or debris out. It's odd that they don't have small weep holes in them to allow water out. The Toyota Rep stated clearly that their purpose is to allow water out, but I guess you have to pull them out to drain...

Yes, that is what I noticed with my windows. Those plugs at the bottom are easily removed to allow water to escape. According to the Toyota Rep I met with all windows allow some water to enter the door.

I finally met with the Toyota rep two days ago! It was interesting, and I ended up learning a lot. He carefully examined the paint on each side of the truck. He used an instrument that measures paint thickness, and took many readings in sequence recording differences. His opinion was that the...

Thanks for the info Tire fryer! Very helpful.

So I received a call from the dealership today. A Toyota rep will have a look at the truck next week. Honestly I have resigned myself to an unsatisfactory outcome. I expect they will point to the paperwork I initialed stating that I accepted the truck in the condition it was in. I kick myself...

I really appreciate all the feedback. It feels a little less lonely doing what I have to do to get Toyota to make it right with support from sympathetic ears. I must say, all the fun of getting a new truck transformed to...well obviously you guys get it. I asked the dealership whether there...
