BEST TRUCK OUT THERE!!!

2012 Toyota Tacoma V6 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)

I read a couple of these reviews and it makes me think these people don't actually own one. Must be out of their price range. I have a 2012 double cab here in the Pacific Northwest and these trucks are everywhere and for a good reason!!! The snow, rain, and ice storms we get it handles it with ease and very safe and feel in control. I feel the 2012 was the big change in the trucks, the older models had a recall on frame. This truck is better built very comfortable to drive and love the hood scoop very fun to drive! I also own a Lotus Evora with a toyota motor they are very dependable! The 4.0 engines are famous for their dependability and 20+ miles per gallon for a truck that seats 5 is amazing!! Say that about your ford's, Chevy, or dodge...you can't! This truck will be for our family for many many years to come and the only money I'll be spending will be on after market parts! You will not be disappointed with this truck, very fun to drive!!!

3rd Tacoma

This is my third Tacoma. A ‘99, ‘06, and ‘12. I’ve been extremely happy with all three. Comfort isn’t awesome and it’s not the smoothest ride, but I’ll trade that for reliability and performance. While this will be my last one (3 is enough,) I wouldn’t make any changes with my purchases. If you’re thinking about it and on the fence, do it.

Bought mine new in 2012. I bought the Crew Cab, TRD. Other than scheduled maintenance I have done nothing to this truck. I like the way it handles in city and on the highway. I would like a little better gas mileage but I’m satisfied overall. I would recommend this truck to anyone.

My second Tacoma. Not much to say. Very reliable and a joy to drive. They're great off road, for camping trips, lots of other adventures. Been very satisfied with my purchase and plan on keeping for many more years to come.
