I just traded my 2007 Tundra, 5.7 in on this truck. I got the TRD Sport package and am very satisfied with this truck. Toyota definitely knows what it is doing with these trucks. I can't find a thing I am unhappy about.

This is a very nice truck; probably the best deal for your money until you need something F-350/F-450 sized. Lots of towing capacity (6.5klbs) with the towing package, and performs great off- road. Both the 5 spd. auto and 6 spd. manual transmissions perform very nicely. If you do your own work, all components are very nicely spaced out and accessible.

A Tacoma that takes you to work & to play

This truck is an excellent truck for those who want a fun truck. The 6 speed manual transmission is much fun to up-shift and downshift, especially with the V6 4.0L engine. The engine sounds reinvigorating with the stock exhaust at higher rpm (on the highway acceleration ramps). I think that is the compliment of the TRD Sports package. The rear seats are excellent for folding down and using it a tool chest platform for work, for they are highly uncomforting to carrying your now unfriendly passengers. Other than city driving which makes for some rather unsightly MPGs, it is a true car enthusiast's idea of a fun truck for everyday driving.

Just a few (major) complaints

First let me say 222k miles on truck I've put around 10k on it since I've had it. It has a severe torque converter shudder at around 35-45 mph (transmission/motor threaten to dislodge.. etc) . The cab is noisy, squeaks, rattles, road & wind noise are excessive. Has never left me stranded, starts every time.
