Used 2010 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Consumer Reviews
Love my new Tacoma
This is my first pickup truck purchase in a lot of years. I've had many SUV's. The Tacoma certainly rides like a truck. A little bouncy even on the highway. Visibility is excellent, especially with the double cab. You can turn your head and see just about a 360 view. No major blind spots. The seat is a bit short in the depth, but I think it is just the right height unlike reviews that state the seat is too low to the floor. The audio system should have more power. Not very impressive for such a nice truck. Sounds like a clock radio. First tank of gas gave 16.5 mpg. Not bad for an engine that isn't broken in yet. For a v6 mpg should be much higher though. Plenty of power. No trans hunting.
Just got it so hard to rate
So far it seems I got what I wanted at a price a little bit higher than I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of the 12year old truck although that was not as important to me as the engine and drive train which all seem to be good.

My 2010 Tacoma @ 110,000 miles
This truck has been excellent, bought used at 30000 mi. Have towed trainers, and boats, been from Indiana to Texas twice, and Indiana to West Palm, Florida and back. I've changed oil at 5000 mi. intervals, and checked all recalls at Toyota dealerships. Tires and brakes are original equipment. I bought new tires, Goodyear, at 98,108 and new brake pads front and rear. Had to replace a failing u-joint, squeaking, at 99,000 miles, found out there are 3 in the standard drive train, replaced all 3. We bought a single axle RV camper, installed a trailer brake controller, and an anti-sway kit, and pulled the camper (3500 lbs) from Indiana to the Grand Canyon, through the New Mexico, & Colorado Rocky Mountains, average speed of 70 mph.

LOW SPEED SHIFT PROBLEMS
Bought current tacoma 14 November 2009. I immediately noticed a problem with the shifting at low speeds; up and down. The fuel mileage was poor; 14 to 16 compared to my old 2001. Visited this website and learned of the TSB for the 2009. There is now a TSB for the 2010. So far, the truck is running as I expect. I will have to wait on any improvement to the mileage although I expect it to improve. I am 6'2" and have no comfort issues, the telescopic steering wheel enables me to leave some legroom for the rear seat.
*BEWARE*
With a known recall for the differential locking up for the 16's and 17's my diff locked up on the freeway with 68,000 miles 8,000 miles past the warranty. Let me tell you it was a scary ride, luckily I was able to regain control of the vehicle without rolling the truck at 65 mph and thank god my kids were not with me. I took the vehicle to Toyota to see if they would do a good wheel warranty. Even if they would have taking care of some of the financial damage would have been ok for me. Especially, knowing this is a issue for there newer trucks. They did nothing. This is how Toyota keeps there customers happy. I will never buy a Toyota again!
