2011 Toyota Tacoma 2dr Regular Cab 6.1 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 4A)
I just bought it a week ago. So it has relatively few miles. But I drove it after a freezing rain and snow. The limited slip differential made a huge difference from a Ford Ranger and Chevy S-10 we had before (all 2WD). The seat is firm enough and offered good support. Maybe because of my size, the right outside mirror creates a huge blind spot at intersections. So short drivers beware.
Exactly what I needed.

2011 Toyota Tacoma 2dr Regular Cab 6.1 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 4A)
I purchased my Tacoma about a week ago, so I can't really speak for the reliability of the vehicle yet, but so far I'm still looking for every excuse possible to drive it.
I was looking for a compact (a relative term in the truck market today) pickup mostly for my short commute to work and for the occasional weekend trips to Ikea.
I don't have a big budget or a need for excessive … features in a vehicle.
I just need an inexpensive, reliable, versatile vehicle that'll keep up with me and this truck fits the bill perfectly.
4 cylinder, 4x4 Tacoma with 4 speed automatic

2011 Toyota Tacoma 2dr Regular Cab 6.1 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 4A)
Overall the truck has been pretty good. The acceleration of the 4 cylinder in this model with the 4 wheel drive and 4 speed automatic transmission is poor, and fourth gear is way too high for this engine's modest power and torque level and the shift points are all wrong, in my opinion.
It always starts and runs well for me, but the blower fan has been replaced twice under warranty.
The best truck out there period.

2011 Toyota Tacoma 2dr Regular Cab 6.1 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 4A)
This is the best all-around get it done truck. The 4 cylinder is adequate but a reliable and very durable powerplant. The truck is so tough ive loaded ton after ton of firewood in the composite bed disregarding the load rating and nursing the squatting truck home on the frame resting on the axle. Not a peep from her yet. These new competitor's trucks with steel and aluminum beds I don't … know how they didn't catch on and build an indestructible bed like this. The turning radius is amazing for a 4x4 truck also. Tighter than my last Tacoma. The last PA winter we had here was also a true test for the 4 wheel drive as the blizzard we got here was 34 inches. The auto lsd can be annoying but was mostly effective. It can also be turned off as well. I plan to keep this truck for a long long time.
