Reading other reviews and it appears that the sluggish acceleration, constant gear hunting and rear end noise that I have are symptomatic for this vehicle. I've had the truck back at the dealership 4 times already for a reflash of the transmission firmware and the noisy rear end. The transmission still hunts all over the place when I'm on the highway and the rear end is still very noisy. I haven't experienced the leaking that others have complained about yet but I suspect it won't be long before I do. My brother bought a Colorado shortly after I bought this truck and after driving his I wish I had as well. I'd like to dump this truck now but I know I'll take a bath as I already have close to 10K miles on it. This is my second bad experience with a Toyota product and it will be my last.

I love this truck. Gas mileage is OK, but it's a truck so I didn't expect to get super mileage. My only complaint it there is not trim package that has a power seat or a manual way to raise and lower it. After 4000 miles, I'm used to it. I considered a Ford and Chevrolet that are bigger, but went with the Tacoma because of the styling, resale value, and I don't need a full size. If you are very tall, this might not be the truck for you. Or any mid-sized truck.

Could Be The World's Greatest Truck

I just love my Tacoma SR5. For starters, I live in S. Florida where there are no hills, so I don't have any issue with the Transmission shifting. I hand wash my car, so I don't have any automatic car wash concerns or regrets. I have 2wd and don't like to get my truck dirty, so not at all concerned with off road capability issues although the general consensus is that the 4wd Tacoma is capable in that arena. There are approximately 4,071,000 miles (6,552,000 km) of roads in the United States, so why out of your way to off road? The truck carried approximately 2,000 lbs of tile from store to my house without issue, and without bottoming out the suspension. The truck carried a whole pallet of paver brick to my house without issue. The truck is fun to drive, keeps up with traffic, easy to park, gets decent mileage at 20mpg, and can get to 90 real quick on the highway. I can pass cars that are passing cars (when I'm road raging California Style, LOL!) I have owned/driven Ford, Nissan, and Honda trucks, which in my opinion were not as fast,did not handle as well, and were not as fun to drive. For me its the experience and Tacoma has it. Ultimately it is your decision, but frankly some of the comments are real nit picky. You either like it or you don't.

POOR CHOICE ON SELECTING A VEHICLE, FOOL ME ONCE..

This truck has no power and can't seem to find the correct gear. It bogs down so much that I use the manual select lever to change gears. It's been to the dealer twice who tells me that this is "normal" operation. The electronic control module went bad at 200 miles. The drivers seat is uncomfortable and hard to get in and out of. The 4 wheel drive doesn't work correctly but no need to have it checked at the dealer as I'm sure it's "normal". The 3.5 engine is a POS, they should have stuck with the 4.0, much better engine. I want to test drive the next vehicle I get for at least a weekend, not just a trip around the block. The problem is there are no such thing as a mechanic anymore. You have part changers at the dealership who only know what the computer tells them and can't diagnose a real problem. Glad I leased this pile so I can give it back in 36 months.

2017 Tacoma 4x4

Just remember, this is a 4x4 truck. The ride is rather stiff. Excellent vehicle for light towing, off road, snow, and mud. Truck cab is super quiet despite the road surface. Great mid-size truck without the very rough and noisy ride of smaller 4x4 vehicles.
