NO MODERATE FINDINGS
Everything the protocol found, including what we decided not to repair. Each finding says what it is and what we did about it — nothing here is hidden behind “sold as seen”.
| Severity | Finding | Action taken |
|---|---|---|
| NOTE | Bed rail caps scuffed from a tonneau | Left as is |
| NOTE | Tailgate has never been used for hauling — verified by paint depth | Documented |
Model watch list
What this generation is known for.
Every model has faults that show up again and again in the workshop and in the manufacturer’s own bulletins. These are the ones documented for this exact year, engine and transmission — listed whether or not this particular car shows them.
- Rear axle shaft sub-assembly may separate from the housing — NHTSA recall 24V-152 (2022–2023 Tacoma)
- Upper child-seat LATCH anchor welds may fail — NHTSA recall 22V-520 (2022–2023 Tacoma)
- Super White (paint code 040) peeling and flaking — a long-running complaint thread on 2016–2022 trucks
- Automatic transmission failures and burnt fluid reported at low mileage on the 2022 truck
Notes on the data
- Toyota publishes peak power without an rpm figure for this engine; the field is left empty.
- Payload 1,155 lb is for the Double Cab V6 4x4 with the short bed.
