What the fuck does this have to do with Toyota vehicles? If I was CEO of Toyota and the marketing team handed me this I'd fire them all and accuse them of abusing hardcore drugs. If any drug test came back clean, I'd need a private investigator to follow them and bug their phones to find the group who paid them to make this crap.
Well, well, well. Thank you, OP. It just so happens I was at the local Toyota stealership, test driving a 2021 Tundra yesterday afternoon. I was about 80% on signing a lease, but decided to take a deep breath and think it over for a day. After seeing that crap, I think I'll find a used F-150 and 'get by'.
I'll be sure to explain it to the salesman when he calls later today.
Good on you. Yeah tell the salesman straight to his face saying you saw their recent advertising campaign. Fuck em and all these fuckers. I used to respect this brand. Now they make me sick. I admit though I still understand why to buy older Toyotas pre woke era.
I won't speak to all vehicles, but the tacoma line is amazing. One of the few vehicles almost entirely made and sourced in the United States. They have some overflow from too much demand that spilled into mexico, I want to say about 1/5th are assembled in mexico using american made parts and steel. When buying a tacoma, get a serial number that starts with 5, it was made in Texas, the ones starting with a 3 were made in mexico. Most will start with a 5, but it's worth checking. All the frames were redone in third generation to be made of super steel with exotic materials, venadium and parts that make the strongest steel ever, which doesn't rust. They had to retool their whole factorys to accomodate because it's harder to drill through and much harder to shape. They're badass trucks built to last and the TRD off-road & TRD pro are actually made for offroading, it's not just a fucking sticker. Rear locking diff, crawl control, kevlar-lined tires to not burst when all weight is balanced on 2 wheels on a sharp rocks, upgraded bilstein shocks, etc, etc. The aftermarket for these things are great too, so many mods you can do. Kelley Bluebook and vehicle ratings companies nick named it the "king tuna" it has the highest resale value of all production vehicles on the planet, of every category. Small, midsize trucks, full size trucks, SUV, vans, sport cars, sedans, etc, tacoma beats every category for resale value because they don't fucking die.
3rd gen with the upgraded steel frames starts at 2016 onward. But if you want to save a little money and find a good deal on a clean 2015, thats great too, it was the last model year of that gen and had almost zero issues. If you get a TRD model 2018 or newer, they have the new frames and automatically have the tow package installed, trans cooler, oil cooler, power steering cooler, trailer sway control, etc. So if you plan on boating or pulling a light camper, thats good to know.
Enjoy the out of warranty rusted frames which get so thoroughly rusted they snap under their own weight. You missed the window for dealers to take them, remove every bolt and put the body on a replacement frame.
Look into the attention to detail toyota puts into producing their product. They use different materials and manufacturing techniques for different regions. It is a very well made product.

They're great cars, but still overpriced. You can get the same quality for less from other Japanese car companies. Toyota just has MASSIVE marketing. My libtard brother-in-law worked on one of their campaigns. They just threw money at him. The ad had CGI and everything.

The girls name is Maya and Maya literally means illusion/magic. Thought I'd point that out.
