Seems like they're happy it broke. Because more views and likes. Click bait material.
I agree on one hand- 2 minute video made into 11 minute video
OTOH how would we know about this otherwise. It's interesting at the heart of it, but yeah who needs these clowns?
We need more information, I'm at their mercy.........…design or material issue for example?

I'm sure we will get more info as they learn about it from Toyota.
I'm also sure it will be a long video. But that's how all youtube channels run, they want views and drag things out to get you to watch. What I do is fast forward until I get to what I want to know. Sometimes that's easy to do, sometimes it takes many tries. But it's always shorter than watching an entire video.
Whatever the issue was, design or material, you can bet Toyota is going to make changes fast. They said they have 22 engineers on it and they talked to the head designer. This is a big project for Toyota, they aren't going to let this go unresolved.
That being said, if this happened to average Joe, I don't think they'd have 22 engineers working on a fix LMAO
LOL, on point.
But, I bet all Taco lover will appreciate TFL (regardless how tiring sometimes they are) for breaking this. Toyota's PR department went into overdrive. They know this is not a situation: any publicity is good publicity.
Looks like another one broke...

Myturd3rd gen is looking pretty good right now 
We took OUR 4G taco to Diablo Drop Off!
We went out to the desert today to do some baseline testing and if anyone has been to doable drop off before you know that those climbs are no joke. The far left is easy but the others are not. The Stock Taco did it! We came down one of the steeper lines and up one of the more technical ones...

I don't buy that an early production Taco may have driveline issues, because its early production.
Manufacturing is designed to have a zero learning curve once pieces are approved for final production.
It's interesting to see we didn't see any failures on pre-production trucks, and they were all dogged on. Part of me thinks that got covered up...
Or some manufacturing defect or someone changed something............
What ARE the differences from Gen 3? Anyone know for sure?
As I am in the market, I looked at a lot of 2024 Tacoma videos, especially the engineering ones. Very little discussion on axles, diffs, and transfer cases. Mostly new engine and new frame. The exclusion on that topic makes me wonder.
There really hasn't been such problems with Gen 3, at least that I have seen. I mean people putting superchargers in, slamming, whamming, some crazy stuff. I think I read one thing about a guy who cracked his front diff, don't remember the details though.
Could be a one-off manufacturing flaw part failure, or it could be the bean counters saving dollars on the drivetrain by making it less capable. Time will tell.
After the 2006 what ever that generation is called they are ugly.

You can hear the "POP" then no power to the front wheels.
Lol. Just so it is known.
Looks like it wasn't the ADD, and Toyota replaced the whole front diff so they could study it
