 I bought this truck based on Toyota's  quality reputation.  I will act as the general contractor for my house currently in design. The passenger door doesn't seem to have been hung correctly as it takes more force to open and close it.  It pops up upon opening it.  We took the truck to North Carolina last August on vacation and got caught in those very heavy rains.  Not only did I not have a problem, I felt very safe and secure.  I had no problem driving around in the winter snow here and made it up a hill I thought would surely give me a problem.  I think the relatively light aluminum engine makes the truck more evenly balanced enhancing its ability to make it through snow.  Great truck.
