    Been driving manuals for many years. As much as I hate to admit I have mis shifted myself and hit 1st instead of 3rd. I always got an immediate rev from engine and instantly knew to hit the clutch fast. When he supposedly hit 1st the failure was instant. Is the transmission made of glass.
  • I was skeptical on the Toyota explanation of the Truck King transmission failure. Now we have this TSB.
  • @371kenny
    He tried going from 5th to 3rd. Toyota claims that he made a mistake and went from 5th to 1st that's why it broke.
  • @peterdaniel66
    Sorry, I have driven manual transmission for 40 years. He did NOT shift from 5th to 1st. Not buying it
  • @donays8241
    I can imagine if my truck will have this issue after 60k miles, and they are going to replace the whole transmission, that will be a lot of money.
  • Next time you talk to a Toyota rep, I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of their product lines are actually sold with a manual transmission. As for the livestream question about subscriptions.... not a single penny. Zero, zip, naught, bupkis, nada, zilch; choose any term you like but I don't do subscriptions for things I already purchased.
  • @joeblack1052
    No excuse for the clutch failure But why would anyone shift from 5th to 3rd on a flat road doing 50mph
  • @Cavemol5823
    What evidence to say he did ? Can they track what gear he shifted ,
  • @joseeduardo4327
    There’s no problem, but anyway, techs if you see this replace the trans
  • @RK57AZ
    I thought TK tried to shift from 6th to 3rd when the transmission failed but, Toyota told them he shifted into 1st gear. TK was sure he hit 3rd but, couldn’t swear to it! I don’t know why anyone in a p/u would downshift that many gears? It’s not a race care and isn’t equipped with a a dual clutch system but he is Canadian. ;) As always stay safe and healthy.
  • @toretawal
    The father was shifting from 5th gear to third gear,but he shifted it 1st gear and blowing the clutch…
  • @RCian2000
    Toyota did not use this logic on the exploding tundras
  • @06XTOR
    Yeah... Bullcrap. He did not try going into first. He went from 5th to 3rd.
  • I’ve never understood why people buy new just to dump them,makes no sense
  • @wilyceyote
    Like I’ve been saying it on multiple YouTube channels it’s called Poor quality parts and not inspected them closely before Assembled the transmission but Still falls back on Toyota engineers for using inferior or poor Quality dies to build the transmission parts

    Sure, here's a revised version of your text: Yes, there will be issues with the new Tacoma since it's a fully redesigned truck. Overall, I believe Toyota has done a great job. I like its look, both inside and out, and the options for manual transmission and a hybrid version are definite pluses. It's powerful yet more economical than the previous version. However, the rear space is cramped, and the lack of rear A/C vents is a downside. Additionally, the ride is too stiff for my liking, and the biggest drawback is the price. For those criticizing the new Tacoma, I suggest considering other options. The competition is strong. If money weren't an issue, I would have opted for the Ranger Raptor or the ZR2 Bison. Despite its age, even with a facelift, the Ridgeline might be the best mid-size truck available. While it doesn't tow as much as the others, I wouldn't tow a 7,000-pound trailer with any mid-size truck. My maximum would be 5,000 pounds, and I believe the Ridgeline can handle that. The other con for the Ridgeline is the ground clearance, but it has a good payload, great interior space, and a good engine. It also rides the best in its class.

    Seems like all these components are right on the edge of design limits.
