Couldn't be more reliable turn the key and go . This truck is economical when you drive it that way and it can be a rocket too .the 2015 suspension is taughter than prior years which gives it better high speed handling and better hauling abilities it has a fourth rear leaf like the newer model.everything you need nothing you don't.this is my seventh Toyota a 2015 4wd double cab long bed with a 4 liter automatic definitely the best one yet typical reliability and really fine tuned ( being the last of this model with the 4 liter and 5 spd auto ) after 45000 miles the suspension has softened up a bit while retaining enough stiffness for confident highway cruising with a full load. Gas mileage with 10 PCT ethenol gas is 16 city 21 hwy. The Dunlop tires had to be replaced at 30k miles. No repair issues whatsoever. Really well put together. At 52000 miles replaced front brake shoes and roters . The brakes work very well very smooth . Emergency braking is incredible. Four years and 55000 miles and it's still like brand new. Update 5 yrs 4 months 65000 miles. Considered trading for 2020 Tacoma DC Lb. Test drove 6 examples. The new engine tranny combo is a sad statement on what Toyota is capable of producing. The 2015 is Lexus like in comparison. To be fair though I drove trucks from other makes that were also not as refined and had different forms of BS mpg savers that in the long term I wouldn't trust to be reliable. I have a cap with windoors and a rack for my kayaks. I can reach into the sides and up to the top easily and with the bed being 6 ft. Set up a platform on one side to camp out of. Changed the reared fluid at 60 k . I'm sorry I did it was like brand new. Still as reliable as day 1. Winter mpg can take a hit with the BS NYState winter gasoline. I have a feeling I'm going to be driving this truck for at least another 5 years. I also feed the zerk fittings fresh grease every 15000 miles. Update 7 years 85000 miles. No service issues at all. Changed battery with Toyota battery recently just to be safe when I'm in the mountains. Hope I get 6+ years out of the new one too. Truck performs as good or better than when it was new. Toyota has a campaign for frame rust from road salt. I hose off the undercarriage after driving on salted roads and have no rust issues. Update 10 years 120000miles everything is still like new. I've replaced nothing but fluids and a second set of brakes and tires. Had the recall done,they sprayed a wax into the boxed in section in the front and then put in dams to keep the salt out. This truck is solid.I guess it finally broke in gas mileage has improved recently

Great truck and fun to drive on and even better off roading. The dependability of this truck is the best in its class. This truck is great due to its simplicity of design. They sale more and last longer for a reason. If you want a truck with more interior gadgets then look at ford or chevy. If you want a serious offroad truck that is above the rest in dependability buy a tacoma. You will be glad you did in the short and diffenatially in the long term. This truck is funtional for off roading and on. This truck will easily go 250000 plus mile with normal care. Ask yourself how tacomas you see that have been on the road used and heavily still going with normal maintenace.

A 16 Month Nightmare

Please take this into consideration before you spend your money on a Tacoma. Let me first begin by saying I am a very understanding and patient person when it comes to having realistic expectations with a product, such as a brand new truck. But this ordeal I am about to share with you has resulted in me losing all faith with a corporation like Toyota. Over the course of the last year of owning this vehicle I have spent days upon days driving to and from the car dealer for over 7 warranty issues, and as of recent an 8th that will need to be addressed. 95% of the trips were to and from AutoNation in Denver(over 1.5 hour each way), the dealer in which I bought it from, and consisted of sitting there and waiting for my vehicle each and every time up to 7 hours each day. This has resulted in an exorbitant amount of time off work, wasted gas, wasted time, has substantially impaired market value on the truck, and not to mention has begun causing severe headaches and sleepless nights due to the level of frustration this has caused over the last 16 months. It’s not just one system, it has been numerous, and still the truck does not operate like a Tacoma should after all this time. I have had issues with the following components; the clutch pedal, door seals(both would SCREAM when I would drive 65+ or it was the slightest bit windy outside), shifter boot, navigation head unit, head rest, severe “Clunk” sound/feel when stopping, and a faulty low 4 wheel drive. All separate issues that I have had to address on the brand new Toyota I purchased a little over 1 year ago. Among all of the issues, the most severe issue this truck still has is a “clunk” sound and feel that occurs after coming to a stop. It literally feels like someone hit me from behind. Toyota mechanics have recognized this is not normal and have taken the steps to fix the issue including the replacement of the entire drive shaft, trouble shooting the electrical connectors at the transfer case, and NOW after a year Toyota's rep is claiming this “Clunk” is a normal characteristic. At two different dealers, I have had their two lead technicians (one being a mechanic for 26 years with Toyota) recognize this as a defect, and have taken steps to eliminate the “Clunk”. At the latter of the two dealers, the service manager, that Scott Riel(Toyota’s rep) set me up with, sat in my car to experience the clunk, and looked at me in horror, vehemently tell me this clunk is not normal. He then had his lead technician (Warren) get in the truck to experience the “Clunk” only to look at me in shock and say “You’ve been dealing with this for 14 months on a brand new truck?! I am so sorry!” Warren spent the next 30 minutes experiencing the clunk while I would put the truck into 1st gear, drive six inches, stop, and continue to say he never has heard such a sound on a Tacoma. Fast forward a few weeks later when Toyota's rep inspected the vehicle. Contrary to what 2 separate dealers thought, the Toyota rep is now taking the stance "all Tacomas in this model experience the same clunk" as I do when stopping. When sharing with two other Tacoma owners(who have the same model as I do), Toyota’s ruling that the clunk is “fuel slosh”, they are as appalled as I am as neither of their vehicles exhibit this “normal characteristic” supposedly all Tacomas have. And if this characteristic was in fact normal, why would a Toyota technician of 26 years, not recognize this before replacing the entire drive shaft to try and fix the issue? Furthermore, why wouldn’t the service manager or lead technician, in a totally separate dealer, recognize this as normal when they work on Tacomas daily? They both recognized this as ABNORMAL before trying to diagnose and fix the issue. Today I made an attempt to contact Toyota one last time to see if they would agree to replace the fuel tank with one that doesn't allow fuel to build in momentum when I come to a stop, causing enough force to result in my truck jerking forward like someone hit me from behind. They declined, indicating that because the Field Technician deems this a normal characteristic, they would not be willing to address this issue any longer. I strongly caution you before you decide to buy a Toyota. I never thought in my wildest dreams that Toyota, of all companies, would try scamming people into buying a model with known issues, and then take the stance these are "normal". So here I am with a truck that continues to clunk anytime the fuel is half filled or more.

I shopped around before buying the Toyota Tacoma. But, everything in my research pointed to this being the best choice for me.

Had 4 before this one. Well over 500k miles on them never once failed to start nor got stuck on road. Scheduled oil is all I ever did. An exhasut pipe donut broke on the '96. Fixed under warranty. A gasket on the a/c dried out on the '15 ( the a/c still worked but no cool air to cab). Fixed under warranty n/c. Average 27k a year delivering in a 15mile radius. In a frontal they used to fold up like an accordion even at 20mph so I've learned to pay attention as the 2000 sustained $6k in repeair while the Ford I tapped lost its rear bumper. As long as they offer the 6' bed with access cab I will not buy another truck. Cargo approaching 1000 lbs raises her nose but she doesnt bottom an i have take 1200 by putting some of the boxes in cab and driving at posted limits. I haul paper locally.
