Did you have any issues with the Tacoma's snapping in half? There is a service bulletin from Toyota about that...

Nope, never had any issues with any of my trucks snapping in half. Those were the 1996-2001 model IIRC and I have owned them and never had a problem. I kind of wish I still had one because Toyota gave 1.5X KBB Excellent prices and $3000 off a new truck on the lot.
Like I said they all run to 200K miles without a single issue, they are easy on clutches and brakes as well. IIRC I have owned 6 different Tacoma's / Pickups over the years and not one issue with any of them.
The two 2006 4x4 Tocoma's I have right now have been flawless. One has 70K miles the other 50K miles and both have never given a single problem.
Ford Rangers / Mazda B series are the same trucks and they suck too. I had a Ranger/Mazda and it was in the shop every month for 4 months straight for service. After the 4th breakdown I sold it cheap to an employee who wanted it despite my warnings it sucked. He had nothing but trouble with it and ended up trading it in on a Toyota.
We had a F150 at a former company and it was troublesome too, its inconvenient when your personal car / truck breaks down its epensive when a Fleet work truck breaks down, that F150 did not last long.
Most of the time family / employees and friend buy my retired trucks, most of them go past the 300K mark problem free.
