The 4-cyl is a good engine however, it’s under powered and downshifts on the highway when going up a moderate incline.

the v6 is the noise king of all vehicles. engine thrashes like a 100 year old combine. real low quality front brakes. this truck is junk. had a 93 model & was 3 times a better truck. all the 4.0 engines are like this. Probably worst vehicle I ever bought. Knocking noise is on left side of engine . Not normal or it would be on both sides .

Smoked engine

Not once but twice my 2013 Toyota ran out of oil, no warning, no leaks. Vehicle was parked in my garage on a cement floor . Not do for an oil change for another 1,500 miles or more. Used the correct oil and filter. No warning, no light . Last time I smoked the engine. It had eighty thousand miles on it when it was lost. Garage stated no use in attempting repair, better to replace if one can be found.

Truck gets terrible gas mileage with an engine that doesn't have enough power to climb hills on the highway without downshifting the automatic transmission. Had 2010 Tacoma that had a radio that was upgradable to XM. Bought the 2013 assuming it had the same, the dealer had to bring it in from another city so I basically bought the 2013 blind. Found out on delivery they installed an aftermarket XM radio attached to the dash because the 2013 Tacoma's radio was not upgradeable to XM. Now the passenger bumps the radio with their knee, the steering wheel radio controls don't work for the XM. At 40000 miles the brakes started shaking the steering wheel when braking on the highway at higher speeds.

Best Midsize Truck Overall

The Tacoma Pre-runner V6 Access Cab truck is well powered and reliable. I purchased the 2-year old truck at 10K miles and now have 35K miles after 3-years. It does not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the other trucks, but it is well built. The truck is noisier that is should be. Some cross-winds cause a whistling noise, probably due to the rain gutters. The 5-year old Iowa truck has no rust problems. I keep a watch for side panel rust as most trucks start rusting there after about 4-5 years. The side body panels are designed and drain well. The truck is garaged overnight and the paint still looks new. The engine pings slightly on summer 87 octane fuel, so I purchase 89 minimum. This is the best overall mid-size pickup available when comparing ride, reliability, resale, and value.
