Definitely true. Plus, we're not talking about the Taco's of 10 to 20 years ago, we're talking about the newer ones - year 2000 and later. I think most people would agree that Toyota quality has been starting to slip lately.
As far as the oversize wheel/tire issue being a problem - that's just my educated guess. I dont think there's any doubt that bigger/heavier wheels put more stress on the suspension linkage. I'm not sure Id go so far as to say that you should go back to stock size, but you'd certainly want to have your joints checked out more frequently for excessive wear...or better yet, install a set of aftermarket ball/uniball joints.
