I have been an avid Toyota consumer since 2008. I love my 2008 Tacoma and wish that it hadn’t come to this. I bought it new. In 2015 there was a recall on the structural integrity of the frame. I took it to a dealer to address the recall. 7 years later I cannot obtain an inspection sticker in order to legally drive my vehicle without repairing the frame significantly. My truck has 95,000 miles on it. I have taken immaculate care of it. It is ineligible to pass inspection due to a known, well-documented manufacturer defection and Toyota has graciously told me that I am on my own in order to reconcile the situation. Everything in this review can be validated with some research. Needless to say, they have lost a very loyal customer.

They fixed the frame issues, Toyota issued a recall, and they fixed it for free. I've had no major mechanical issues with this truck. It's a very solid Toyota.

There is no position on the heater/AC controls that will shut off outside air from coming in through the vents, which is a problem if you live in a colder climate as I do. The wind noise overpowers conversation and the radio, the wipers make an irritating thunk/thunk noise, and the outside temp/compass indicator is difficult enough to read due to a reflective glare. The seat bolsters are narrow and uncomfortable. Gas & brake pedals are too close.
Best truck I ever owned

I got this truck about a week ago after being on deployment in Afghanistan for around 7 months and am loving every second with it. It's fun to drive, and surprisingly good on gas. It's a gorgeous truck, and I have gotten many compliments on it. I got the TRD Sport Package, and the added hood scoop gives the truck a tough, offroad look. The 4 wheel drive is more than capable, and it rides really well on the street. The included Bilstein Suspension, makes potholes and bumps feel pretty much non existent. I don't think I could be more pleased with it, and look forward to driving it for 10 or more years, since of course it is a Toyota.

This is a reliable great quality truck and all but they put these adjustable lumbar supports in them that kill my back . After a while of driving this thing I can feel the bar pressing against my back . If you turn it the other way ( to take the pressure off ) there is a big indention there which is just as bad . It is so bad , I sold the truck .
