I'm probably in most of the same groups. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It would be disingenuous say that there aren't legitimate concerns with those trucks. Lots of people absolutely love them but there seems to be many many people citing quality control issues with them. Every time someone posts a problem with theirs its met with a gaggle of toyota defenders telling them its an easy fix or something that'll get worked out, despite the fact that they are brand new $60-90k trucks. I love the look and the upgraded features, but dropping that kind of money and having the issues that keep popping up would drive me insane.

By far, the biggest complaint is "wind noise." I waited I don't know how long for mine to come in and when drove it for the first time, sure enough, it had the wind noise. I told the dude straight up that even though I waited this long that I wouldn't buy it if they don't fix that. It wasn't loud, you couldn't hear it if the radio was on, but it would have driven me nuts if you wanted some peace and quiet or listen to a podcast

They ordered a piece the day I bought it (Monday), and had it replaced Friday. All it was is the weatherstripping was a two piece and they replaced it with a one piece. They have already fixed it for what is in production now from what those groups are saying.

I get that that is annoying as hell for some considering it is like you say, 60-90k. But it was a really easy, quick fix. I mean every model truck has recalls. If that's the biggest complaint, I can live with that. I haven't seen really any motor complaints, even with the Hybrid. For people who have never owned one like the other poster, to say they are crap, is just ridiculous. That's just a guy that is wanting to hate, probably because they don't have a v8 anymore.
