I worked in a factory where Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Nissan and Toyota parts were manufactured, and I have to say that quality is by design not by where is manufactured, I remember Ford parts you have to care them like if it was a baby because they were so fragile you could damage them, Toyota and Honda were the best, I have seen many times in your videos that cars made in Mexico are bad quality but as someone that work in that environment you seem that you have no idea what you're talking about, you have no idea how many quality controls there are these days and the training people have, everything it's being control and monitored.

I wanted to say something about the fellow with the brake issue. A lot of modern cars have diagonal brake circuits and no longer have a basic front circuit/rear circuit. Front piston in the master cylinder controls front left and right rear, rear piston controls front right and left rear. If the brakes are dragging/locking up its usually the brake master cylinder going bad and not letting the fluid port that leads from the cylinder to the reservoir to open upit also happens when the master cylinder pushrod is out of adjustment

Scotty, considering Mexico's cost of living being lower, do you think it is big enough of a factor to offset cost for the same quality? The goal is to make the truck cheaper right? To not lose quality, you need to implement the same quality system and you have to educate workers so that they can implement those systems. Those two things cost money. But considering how it is cheaper to live in Mexico (assumption. please correct if wrong, the cost for quality should be at least marginally cheaper, right?

I'm with Scotty on this. I'm concerned about quality going down the toilet. My 2008 Tacoma lasted 11 years before its first mechanical issue cropped up (rack and pinion needed to be replaced. I have a bad feeling that a Mexican-made Tacoma would start having mechanical issues after just a few years. Oh well. I've moved on to the Ford F-150 (since the newer Tacomas apparently aren't tall people friendly) and I'm happy with it.

Hey, Scotty. I really trust what you say about cars and trucks and appreciate how you are willing to share information on how to fix problems. Thank you. I have a question though, and it is Why do so many mechanics try to screw the customer blind? Why do they lie and cheat someone who needs help? I find it extremely hard to put any faith in anything a dealership mechanic tells me.

Toyota will have a better go of it in Mexico than others for the very same reason I mentioned as causing recalls here. They don't rely much on in house expertise at remote plants and most QC is automated and procedural, what kept undocumented flaws from being caught when made here is the same thing that's going to help maintain quality there.

I work for Toyota at the San Antonio plant. The Mexico plant has been building crewcab Tacomas for over a decade so it won't be a huge difference adding the rest of the models. It also allows Texas to focus on Tundra and the new arriving Sequois. Don't let the switch deter you, Toyota is extremely religious about quality control.

I agree 100% with you, Scotty. I have a 2010 Camry SE 126k I've owned for the last 9 years. I did some PM on it yesterday and plugged in my high-level scan tool to get the vehicle's condition. not ONE single code stored on the computer Not bad for a Kentucky-built car I'll stick with the Toyotas NOT built in Mexico.
