The fact that they did this while improving quality and reliability in the process is simply amazing.
And it's good to see the buying public is rewarding them with record sales.

my friend - people passionately defend the prior gen tacoma as being indestructible... well when you have an V6 engine with the power of a 4 cylinder and the efficiency of a V8, it's not particularly difficult to achieve such a feat after making the same engine for 20 years.
Now, Toyota's newer Tundra offerings have below average reliability because it's their first move into new turbo 6s in ages.... they won't be close to B58 reliability levels for years because they are so far behind in that type of motor... they also don't paid w the Zf8 tranny... which is now proven over and over.
