Hate to burst your bubble but they do NOT last as long compared to the mileage on a Japan/ USA made one. Mexico is cheap parts and comparable to China. My brother in law is a mechanic and has a genius IQ, he wouldn’t bluff one iota about that. Mexico needs to stay out of our car manufacturing, USA or Japan made is superior made point blank ! So far you may not have any problems but trust me down the road the longevity of mileage won’t be the same as the other
@@SammyStanski They only assemble them in Mexico. And frankly, I would rather something be assembled in Mexico, than the US, especially these days. Now 10 yrs ago, maybe different.
Mexico and the USA builds are pretty much the same thing. Staff from the USA manage the QC inspection/activities in Mexico also. You will have to get it built in Japan if you want that near perfection. Have you seen Tesla products? They have those gap panels all over like no other.
My friend tests a lot of tesla parts what chemicals are in them and tesla is really dirty. Lot of bad stuff. They use the cheapest shit. Full of forever chemicals
My Tacoma was built in Mexico. There are some fit and finish issues with the rear bumper gaps but nothing I think is worth complaining about. It fits within tolerances. However, your door issue is a warranty fix. It’s part of the 36/36 bumper to bumper warranty. Just take it to your dealer and get it fixed. It shouldn’t do that especially if it is damaging the paint and finish. That should be fixed and the paint repaired.
The sticker on the driver side door jam shows where it was made, my 2016 was made in Texas and my 2021 is Mexico and both had the same poor rear bumper alignment
My 2022 off road was build in Mexico but I must say that it is without any fault what so ever. Very nice even gaps all around and flush panel transitions.
Perfect timing for me with this video. I just ordered an Off-Road Taco made in Baja California. I will be sure to check these areas when I pick it up, as well as all of the seams to make sure everything is as it should be.
There is a rubber hood stopper on your truck next to your light fixture that will help level your hood. Unscrew it a full turn and check for level again. Doors can be adjusted at the Dealership as well I believe, get that looked at asap! Mine was made in the USA apparently, appreciate the heads up!
Interesting topic. I have a 10/ '21 army green tacoma like yours, door label made in Mexico. No problems so far. Body gaps and finish are good. Unfortunately, Toyota stopped assembling the Tacoma in the USA at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in fall of '21. The 3.5l engines are still built here in Huntsville, Alabama. The 2.7l and manual trans are made in Japan. '22 and after, Tacomas are assembled in Guanajuato, Mexico.
My 2020 was made in Mexico. With almost 200 miles on the odometer, my front main seal leaked. Dealer fixed it. At about 8,500 miles going above 35 mph the rear diff started making a metal rubbing metal noise. Dealer replaced the "3rd" member....and the noise came back at about 13k miles. Dealer said my bigger tires are making too much noise to pinpoint the noise even though it is easily replicated up on their lift, and my jack stands. I still love the truck, just will never do business again with the Viva Toyota here in Las Cruces New Mexico.
I will add that having my wife drive 40 mph past me, standing on the sidewalk, I couldn't hear it. It's only with the rear sliding window open, and I do have a shell on the bed.
Starting with the 2022 model, I believe every Tacoma's is being built in Mexico. That said, my 2022 Tacoma has no fit n' finish issues at all. It runs great, and everything feels as good as all my other Toyota trucks (this is my 4th)
Always good info on your site, I have two Tacomas a 21 and a 22 both made in Mexico.I don't have either problem but the driver's door gap on both trucks is tighter than the passenger side. Keep up the good work!
2018 Made in Mexico. Rear door weather strip squeaks when I open it. It makes contact. Rear bumper gap is off to bed. Grille is warped and random rattle and creaks. My 2012 was built in America was solid with no issues.
See if you can find a Dent guy to get a tool in there and push the lower fender outwards.. I've done that many times with other models where the fender was rubbing the door & it works... Yeah I'm a Dent guy : )
2022 TRD OR Tacoma built in Mexico. Only issue so far was alignment. Took it to the dealer and they found the right front tire towed outward 8 degrees. It's been fixed at zero cost to me and everything else has been good.
Made in Mexico. Getting a full body inspection now. Have one issue with mids and highs going in and out on my 18 Off Road’s head unit. Otherwise, I’m all good…pending that figment inspection.
2022 Tacoma SR5 built in Mexico on 02/28/2022 Barcelona red. Only issue I see is there are 5-6 spots have paint flaking on rear drivers side door and then in the passenger side front of bed there is a big spot of what looks like orange peel and if the light his it right. Maybe not enough paint. Less then 1,000 miles. Dealer has already been email but will very kindly hear about it again.
Made in Mexico. Rear bumper gaps are different left side/right side Tailgate metal wire cables are different lengths; right is longer than the left Driver's door (handle) latch is harder to open than the other doors. It feels like open ing the tailgate, where it's kinda hard and has some resistance
2010 was when the NUMMI Fremont, CA plant built it's last Tacoma. They started in 1995. At a glance, the fuel door is on the left. The Japanese versions were on the right.
Definitely saw the difference between the Texas tacos and the Mexican ones the Texas taco is the way it was meant to be a tough and durable Toyota. They gotta focus on better quality control to keep their name
I had a 2016 that was built in Mexico and compared it one the same year built in Texas. Those particular trucks weren't the same. The difference was in the paint. Both were the same color, but the one from Texas actually had more orange peel than the Mexican taco.
Mine was from Mexico, I knew it and waited for 4 months. Then got the "check charging system" warning" followed by the "low oil pressure" warning after driving few days. Took to the dealer and they said its normal.
I am surprised the dealer did not catch any of these flaws during the pre-delivery inspection also known as PDI, if you're still under warranty, take it back to the dealer
Yeah we used to PDI everything when I worked at dealerships someone did not feel like doing their job even before they reach the mechanics the porters would inspect them
Made in Mexico. Brand New 2023 Tacoma Limited Nightshade Edition. Problems so far: - Clunk / Popping noise coming from passenger side when driving forward...it has gotten louder since purchasing in Dec. '23 - Driver door sags and have to push it hard to close - Driver door popped open one day after 10 miles into trip - Passenger door rattle - Imprinted circle on glass on driver side It has been in the shop 4 times since December and as we speak its been in the shop the last 8 days as they try to fix the clunk / popping noise. Getting close to the lemon law lol!
Mexico 2020 SR5 20k miles. No issues. A small squeak in the dash near the pillar but it comes and goes on it’s own. I was even rear ended with 15k worth of damage. Still no issues.
My 2022 Tacoma Sport starts with a "3" VIN, so it was built in Mexico. I have the same uneven hood lines as you do. I took it to the dealer and they stated, words to the effect, it is a characteristic of the hood. I thought, what a cop out! My door has no issues.
My 2022 TRD OFF ROAD 4X4 MANUAL LUNAR ROCK was just delivered after a 4 month wait. Built in Mexico...I'm overall happy with it. But yeah there are some very minor issues. One being the grill gaps are noticeable to the point of seeing the retaining clips, the rear wheel well splash shield..(front portion) is loosely fit..it needs a support arm attached to the frame. Fog lamp bezels are loosely fit...you can move them a bit. And lastly...the shark fin antenna on the roof seems like it is not tightened down enough...found this out while washing the truck. So I'll address the shark fin with a dealer. The other issues are not relevant...just me being picky. 😁
Mine was made in Mexico. Small hood alignment issue. No big deal to me. You can also look at the plate (or sticker) in the driver's door frame. It will show you where it was made. Regardless, Toyota historically is known for quality work and customer satisfaction. If your vehicle is still under warranty, take it back to the dealership. They will correct the issue, no questions asked.
I’ve got a 2010 trd sport , vin starts with a 3 ( Mexico ) I’m the original owner and love this freakin truck, just had the new frame done last September at 68,000 miles , I’ve basically done nothing other than change the oil every 5,000 miles and replaced the tires until last week I changed the gear oil in the rear and front diff and transfer case, power steering fluid refresh, and this week did the front brake pads and rotors ( at 69,225 … I’m guessing that’s normal ) .. I hope to get another ten years out of it.
My '21 sport was made in Mexico. I have a bunch of body panel alignment issues. All cosmetic so far. Kind of expecting better from a Japanese car company though. My 24 year old Japan built 4Runner it put together like a precision instrument. Your door needs to be fixed. That's going to rust and become a bigger issue in a couple years.
Waiting on a Tacoma I made a deposit on from my Dealers Sept 22 allotment. Salesman told me it would be coming from Texas, BUT,......... my Temporary Vin I was given plainly shows it coming from Mexico. If i live long enough to get the damn thing, I'll use this video to do a detailed inspection at delivery! Thx a million and keep the videos coming!
2019 trd pro super white made in Austin Tx. Love the truck to death. Got her tuned with 33s and it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've read some people have problems with this color but it's been solid too. I'm thinking covid era manufacturing (2020, 2021) had massive worker shortages that it may have caused some qc issues..
This was very helpful. That door rub would be annoying to me especially for a new truck. I currently have a used 2017 Tacoma built in TX...which is why I grabbed it off the used lot. As I was leaving the dealership (today), after a service oil change, I saw a used 2021 Tacoma in the lot which caught my eye. I inquired about a trade-in toward this newer used truck and discovered it was built in Mexico...bummer. I'm guessing that all Tacomas built/assembled around and after 2021 come from Mexico...but I'm not certain. Great video and thank you
I don't think the concern over Mexican-made vehicles and their quality control is completely unfounded. I have heard too many anecdotal stories from people in the industry. This isn't to say that ALL vehicles made there are garbage. I'd bet money though that the Mexican-made vehicles have more QC issues than U.S. and Canada-made and definitely more than Japan-made.
My 2015 Tacoma DDLB SR5 4x4 was made in Mexico. It had a bunch of fitment issues and reliability problems. Truck practically lived at the dealership and I ended up selling it.
Mine was made in ...MEXICO! VIVA LA TACOMA! OMGosh! now that you mention it about the door, mine dose the same sound sometimes! Ooofff OOfff OOfff i need to go check it out :)
2022 Tacoma SR5 Trail Edition Made in Mexico , The only problem I have is I cant stop driving it.... I put 3K miles on it the first month...... love it. I do have a paint run, like a drip on the hood edge where it seams up with the fender. Not easy to spot but when you wash your Truck you find little things like that. Lunar Rock so I will not touch it, they will never match it.
My 2019 was made in Texas, so far I've had a fuel pump recall. 3rd brake light seal recall, squeaky clutch pedal, and my body ECU unit was replaced. Now that Toyota is going the turbo route, I won't be buying anymore Toyota's.
I just got a 22 Tacoma Sr 4x4 this summer. I've had previously a 2016 sr5. I have to say I'm a bit worried about this new 22 made in Mexico. Definitely a few small body panel alignment issues but nothing too bad. My issue is with the feel of the drivetrain. It drove very normal for about a month. Then all of a sudden I started to feel a slight pull and vibration when braking coming up to traffic lights. It's never went away. It's not bad enough to take it in yet but the dealer looked at it and claimed nothing wrong. Not even sure what the issue would be, bad brakes form factory? Also the engine seems to whine or struggle on certain days. Not a smooth purr. I expect these this from a truck you driven for years not months. Imo not worth the money anymore, I'm most definitely got to trade it in after a few years. I had the new Sierra that I actually traded for this brand new Tacoma, that truck as well had some serious drivetrain quirks that was very disappointing, not a truck you could trust long-term. TBH not sure what's the best bet anymore. Maybe f 150 with the coyote 8 , definitely no turbo for me anymore. Very sad to see this truck market suck like this, you pay top dollar and get crap. What a world
Them issues are so simple to fix. the hood, robber adjuster twist to left a couple of turns. Door, loose the hinges and pull the door back just a couple of millimeters and it should be perfect.
75K miles on my 2021 Tacoma AC v6 4x4 SX. Only issue is the AC door behind the drivers' is locked so i need to fix that. Other than that no issues and ran it pretty hard.
I ordered my Taco in April 2022. I have just one major problem. I’m still waiting . Might be here by 1 August. Hopefully this Aug 2022 and not 2023. TRD Off Road 4x4 Barcelona Red. Coming out of Baja Mexico. Still on the way somewhere.
Mine was made in Mexico only issue i have is with engine itself i dont know why or what the F causes it to tick on cold starts not loud but it does .Probably gana take it back to dealership to get it checked out sound like it needs a valve adjustment thats all .
I have a 2022 army green trd off rd and mine was built in Mexico. I got it in December. I've only have minor issue with rattles. And still having minor issues with rattles. I'm pretty sure my truck was built on a Friday at 5pm. My steering wheel was crooked from day one but they fixed it right away.
I got mine right at the cusp of 2021. Like late nov maybe mid dec ish. Made in USA. I haven’t had issues with my TRD SPORT crewcab (quicksand color) I like it but I think I wanna migrate over to a 4Runner.
Lmk where your truck was made, and if you have any issues! ⬇️
My Lunar Rock TRD Sport was made on Mexico and I havent had any issues yet.
Ah that’s good
Mexico and one side of tailgate has larger seam. Not by much though...2021
Ah I see yeah
Mexico but I haven’t noticed any issues
Mine was made in Mexico. No issues so far. Love it.
That’s good 👍

2022 Taco Built in Mexico and has no issues at all. My 2019 Tundra was built in Texas and had a couple of quality control issues.
That’s good, ah I see
Talk to us in 8 years and 180000 miles. Your 2 month old truck will start breaking soon. Your new truck assessment is useless.

Mine is mint too. It’s a 2021.

Ah I see ok good to know thanks
Lol. True that . I have a 2016 and 2019.
Mine was born in 🇲🇽. 2021 trd off road. I wish we can post pics on the comments
Niceeee
My 2022 off road was build in Mexico but I must say that it is without any fault what so ever. Very nice even gaps all around and flush panel transitions.
That’s good to hear
Of course it has no faults
It's not even a year old
The key FOB already broke on mine after 1 year. Cheap plastic. And $400 to $800 to replace the cheap plastic.
I love the Mexican people. But they make $6/hour and work 7 days a week. Shame on Toyota. I won't be buying a new one. 👎
Perfect timing for me with this video. I just ordered an Off-Road Taco made in Baja California. I will be sure to check these areas when I pick it up, as well as all of the seams to make sure everything is as it should be.

Really hmm

Dude same thing with my Tacoma! I thought I was going crazy but it’s a real thing! I have the hood issue and it was made in Mexico
Haha yeah
my 2021 off road was from Mexico, do not have either problem you describe. love my truck but disappointed with 18mpg vs my 2017 sport which got 20mpg
Ah ok that’s good
It's the wrangler tires. That definitely account for the loss of MPG

As I was leaving the dealership (today), after a service oil change, I saw a used 2021 Tacoma in the lot which caught my eye. I inquired about a trade-in toward this newer used truck and discovered it was built in Mexico...bummer. I'm guessing that all Tacomas built/assembled around and after 2021 come from Mexico...but I'm not certain. Great video and thank you
I don't think the concern over Mexican-made vehicles and their quality control is completely unfounded. I have heard too many anecdotal stories from people in the industry. This isn't to say that ALL vehicles made there are garbage. I'd bet money though that the Mexican-made vehicles have more QC issues than U.S. and Canada-made and definitely more than Japan-made.
Hmm I see yeah
More than likely 😂 cause its made in Mexico 🇲🇽 no offense mexico
My 2015 Tacoma DDLB SR5 4x4 was made in Mexico. It had a bunch of fitment issues and reliability problems. Truck practically lived at the dealership and I ended up selling it.
h man I see
WOAH I had no idea you could tell the difference right there! This was such a dope video!
Thanks!
My 2018 SR5 was built in San Antonio. I bought it new and haven’t noticed any issues.
Oh nice!
Have a 22 sport coming any day now....made in Mexico. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info!
Thanks
Mine was from Mexico. I had a few quality control issues as well. Kind of stinks but hopefully that’s all you have.
I see yeah
Mine was made in ...MEXICO! VIVA LA TACOMA! OMGosh! now that you mention it about the door, mine dose the same sound sometimes! Ooofff OOfff OOfff i need to go check it out :)
Aw man haha
2022 Tacoma SR5 Trail Edition Made in Mexico , The only problem I have is I cant stop driving it.... I put 3K miles on it the first month...... love it.
I do have a paint run, like a drip on the hood edge where it seams up with the fender. Not easy to spot but when you wash your Truck you find little things like that. Lunar Rock so I will not touch it, they will never match it.
🤣🤣
My 2020 taco tacoma its way better than my cheese 2021 tacoma, viva mexico 🇲🇽
My 2021 is a Mexican Taco. So far so good.
2017 TRD Sport, Texas built. 140k miles, Zero issues. Zero.
My 2019 was made in Texas, so far I've had a fuel pump recall. 3rd brake light seal recall, squeaky clutch pedal, and my body ECU unit was replaced. Now that Toyota is going the turbo route, I won't be buying anymore Toyota's.
My Tacoma was made in Mexico and I have no issues I got a Tacoma TRD Sport 2019
Ah true
My 17 auto trd orsb 4x4 was made in baja Mexico, almost was going to trade it in for 21 manual trd orsb 4x4 made in Japan but kinda glad I didn't tho
Ah I see
My 21 TRD OF was made in Mexico. So far no problems after 1800 miles.
Ah I see
Mexico. I will have to look closer. So far no issues at 2600 miles.
That’s good
My 22 off road was built in Mexico. I had 2 problems, water leaked from the sunroof and driver side mirror was cracked. I was so disappointed
Ah man that’s not good
I just got a 22 Tacoma Sr 4x4 this summer. I've had previously a 2016 sr5. I have to say I'm a bit worried about this new 22 made in Mexico. Definitely a few small body panel alignment issues but nothing too bad. My issue is with the feel of the drivetrain. It drove very normal for about a month. Then all of a sudden I started to feel a slight pull and vibration when braking coming up to traffic lights. It's never went away. It's not bad enough to take it in yet but the dealer looked at it and claimed nothing wrong. Not even sure what the issue would be, bad brakes form factory? Also the engine seems to whine or struggle on certain days. Not a smooth purr. I expect these this from a truck you driven for years not months. Imo not worth the money anymore, I'm most definitely got to trade it in after a few years. I had the new Sierra that I actually traded for this brand new Tacoma, that truck as well had some serious drivetrain quirks that was very disappointing, not a truck you could trust long-term. TBH not sure what's the best bet anymore. Maybe f 150 with the coyote 8 , definitely no turbo for me anymore. Very sad to see this truck market suck like this, you pay top dollar and get crap. What a world
I wouldn't trade in my 2019 model for a brand new one. The dealers and Toyota really mislead everyone.
Them issues are so simple to fix. the hood, robber adjuster twist to left a couple of turns. Door, loose the hinges and pull the door back just a couple of millimeters and it should be perfect.
My 2020 base model Tacoma was made in Texas. No body issues but the passenger side window rattles sometimes
Mine star with the 3 no problems so far 😎
MEXICO 🇲🇽 Rear bumper alignment
Ah I see
75K miles on my 2021 Tacoma AC v6 4x4 SX. Only issue is the AC door behind the drivers' is locked so i need to fix that. Other than that no issues and ran it pretty hard.
Awesome video. I haven’t found any flaws yet on my 2022 build in New Mexico. I will start checking. Thanks for the info.
That’s good
Mexico not New Mexico
Mine was made in Mexico! All the words and radio stations are in Spanish! Can’t change it!
Mine came from Baja California Mexico. Been great so far.
Mexico and yes my 22 has issues, the hood and the bed!!!
Ah wow
@@TheUnrestricted yeah man the passenger side does not match the drivers side where the front of the bed mates up to the rear of the cab.
Wow
I ordered my Taco in April 2022. I have just one major problem. I’m still waiting . Might be here by 1 August. Hopefully this Aug 2022 and not 2023. TRD Off Road 4x4 Barcelona Red. Coming out of Baja Mexico. Still on the way somewhere.
What wow
Mine was made in Mexico only issue i have is with engine itself i dont know why or what the F causes it to tick on cold starts not loud but it does .Probably gana take it back to dealership to get it checked out sound like it needs a valve adjustment thats all .
Ah I see yeah
The all do that. It's the Atkinson cycle engine. Loom it up. They almost sound like a diesel at idle sometimes
My 2017 Tacoma was made in Mexico no issues whatsoever.
That’s good to hear
My Tacoma made in Texas and the only issue is that sometimes the bluetooth won't recognize my phone.but that all I noticed.
I see
2019 Made in Texas. 63,000 miles. Zero issues.
OK nice
‘17 taco 6 speed made in Texas 🇺🇸 The paint isn’t as good as it used to be but No issues
Toyota's paint is crap, but it has been for awhile.
I have a 2011 built in Baja, California... 3 on the VIN. It has 166k. No issue so far.
I have a 2022 army green trd off rd and mine was built in Mexico. I got it in December. I've only have minor issue with rattles. And still having minor issues with rattles. I'm pretty sure my truck was built on a Friday at 5pm. My steering wheel was crooked from day one but they fixed it right away.
I see yes
Wow great video! Congrats on 8k!!
Thanks buddy
I got mine right at the cusp of 2021. Like late nov maybe mid dec ish. Made in USA. I haven’t had issues with my TRD SPORT crewcab (quicksand color) I like it but I think I wanna migrate over to a 4Runner.
