Not very happy with my 3rd new 4WD Taco
I have a more positive review earlier by GW7. Now the 3rd radio in my Tacoma is malfunctioning. It will be replaced again under warranty but I now have to question some of Toyota's quality, they just seem to want to keep replacing defective radios until the warranty expires. I have been loyal to Toyota because of reliability, but my patience is wearing thin on this issue.
Barely a truck
Have put 50,000kms on now with not too much trouble. Stereo went dead within 2 months of buying it, dealership replaced. This truck is terribly underpowered, drove it through the mountains and I was down to 60kph in 3rd gear full throttle. Frame seems weak if I drive down a gravel road I can see the box shaking and twisting independant of the cab quite violently. Box wont hold much wieght, at 600lbs rear suspension is almost fully compressed. Truck gets awesome gas mileage and the styling is great.
BEWARE! Toyota Drive Line - You Pay
Purchased new. Have less than 7 1/2 years and under 69,000 miles. No heavy driving or loads; park in garage. Now paying $5000, + to replace universal, differential and wheel bearings. UNACCEPTABLE at this low mileage. AND the dealer says water pump is failing. Do your review as Toyota is recalling 2016 and 17's for differential problems, frame rust. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY of TOYOTA is GONE I was asked by Edmunds to update this review. As of 12-31-18 my experience with Toyota has not changed. I would not buy another truck given their inability to acknowledge the problem with the drivelines since 2009 up through recent models requiring a recall; and with the current recalls for rust problems on the frame. Once a reliable company; I cannot recommend a Toyota

My God truck
Mine is a standard 4 cyl. That said it is 4 wd, access seats, Tacoma. It has the additional tire flares and tinted windows. It is a sporty cool, looking truck. It is my God truck, as I asked God for all of the amenities. And an affordable price and payments. I did preface my prayer that I would prefer it not to be white, it is white :) He answered all and much more. I have never been let down by Toyota and once again I am very happy. If you are used to a 6 cylinder the 4 will take some getting used to. Great gas mileage.

Nice Truck - Xmission could be better
I bought the truck in June 09. I have had it for about 7 months now. I like the look of the Tacoma. ALL of the switches should be illuminated (ex 4x4), and there should be a foglight "on" indicator. My biggest complaint, like others, is the transmission. The transmission seems to down shift too quickly. After slowing down to turn a corner, it "hunts" to find the right gear. This should be addressed by Toyota.
