New Taco Off-road Failure
Our Brand-New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Almost Left Us Stranded...Here's What Happened! - YouTube

Go to 8:55 mark.

And this is why I have doubts about the new LC250 platform using "lightweight" (aka aluminum and thinner) parts. How did Toyota give us so much yet kept prices so reasonable........now we know.....

Classic CV break is my guess. Bouncing or quick loss and gain of traction with wheel spin and kaboom. Broken CV on one side or the other will just spin with the open diff looking like loss of drive up front.

This is why I dont wheel in winter. Love the TFL guys and they dont go easy on the reviews but this breakage seems pretty weak Would think they would be able to diagnose what happened on the trail pretty easily.

I think that the son of the one of the TFL guy is the one that is knowledgeable.

Though their intent was to put the rig to the test, I think it was foolish to take the truck out in even that little bit of snow and ice and with street tires.

It appears that the Colorado had at least A/T's, as he was able to back into the rough spot and still pull the Tacoma. Depending on what package the Colorado had, it may have had a front locker, which definitely would help. I didn't watch the entire video, just started at the suggested time stamp and followed it to the end.

Not sure why Toyota is reluctant to offer a front locking diff in their off road models. If it was a broken CV axle, a locker in front would retain at least 3WD instead of 1WD unlocked in back and 2WD locked.

Lockers are really hard on axles. And if you have IFS and thus CV's it's going to be doubly hard on them. So if you have weak CV's, lockers will destroy them, easily. Even weaker live axles will not stand the stress of lockers. Lots of Dana 30's have found that out the hard way.

Wowzers! Does not bode well for Toyota. Will be interesting to follow this and see what exactly happened and the point of failure. Weak/poor materials? Bad engineering? Cost cutting?

When i saw the video, my first impression was CV joint. But looks like a T-case.
Anyway, any mass produced item will have a few defective units. I don't have any idea who produces that T-case for Toyota. Maybe its in house, that would be easy. But probably outsourced. Anyway, it may not really be a problem. Maybe only one in a million. The rest could be bullet proof. Only time will tell. It sure didn't look like it was under a lot of stress. So i would go with a rare defect.

Here's the latest news on the failure. The (A.D.D.) auto drive disconnect, designed to fail part, failed. a purpose built part designed to fail, genius.

FYI for others who want the quick answer…go to 10:30 mark.

Cheap ass part failed. This is not a good look for the new platform (Tacoma, Land Cruiser 250, Lexus GX550, and upcoming 4Runner).
