First off as I still have my 14 year old Ranger, there has been a learning curve, a big one. First off love the truck, and it is easy to enjoy. Used it for work the first week I owned it and while it was not as easy to do the job as it was in the Ranger it filled in well, and had no problems. Truck rides nicer than the Ranger and is gawd awful quick compared to the Ranger. While the Ranger ride is very truckish, the Tacoma is much smoother and is much more comfortable. I am still learning all the bells and whistles, but I find a lot of them very useful. the climate control system took some getting used to, but does its job very well. I am not impressed with the Sirius System and could very well live without it. In fact I will be cancelling g it shortly, as it is so limited in choices. Have not had to use four wheel drive much so far, but when I did it was flawless, and easy to use. Little bit fuel hungry, but this is off set by performance. No one told my truck that it was a pick up truck, as it loves to whoop up on those pesky lil Beer Can Racers, the ones that are souped up mini cars, which is kinda fun. While not as powerful as the Mustang 5.0 I liked, it will get you in big ticket area rel quick. I am also impressed by it have a class 4 towing package. Over all very pleased with mine.

Toyota please please please change your shift points for the transmission to be above 1000rpm. The 3.5l engine does not have enough torque to be smooth at that rpm. If you sneeze while in gear at 1000rpm it will downshift. ECT power mode is great which changes the transmission to the correct shift points but you have to turn that on every time you start the vehicle. I don't want to be one of those haters who just says the transmission sucks because I don't believe that. I just think the ECU programming for the trans shift points if off of what it should be. My recommendation is to put out a TSB that gives people the option to bring it in if they want to perform the transmission shift point change or not. Very close to being a perfect truck but not quite yet or at least until we see that TSB come out.

I had a 2013 Tacoma which was a fantastic truck and did very well for me with all the heavy use I put it through. I had always wanted the Toyota truck to step up to more automated features, a sunroof like the old ones had, and heated seats etc. I decided to trade it in for the new TRD sport long bed 4x4 with Technology package. I have not been disappointed. The new truck is far quieter, more roomy in feel, better looking and great and awaited options. I have been overall impressed and happy that I had made the change. There is a lot of feedback talking about the poor acceleration and I have to say that I agree that it is not a spunky as my old truck however; it is not enough to sway my thoughts on the new truck. I am also dissatisfied that they do not include mud flaps as standard equipment when you are paying the higher price for this vehicle. Lastly, purchasing the long bed and desiring the tonneau cover that is available on the short bed, Toyota is slow on getting some of the after market products out to the public and at a much higher cost for the new truck. After having the truck for 7 months now, I am still as happy with the truck as when I purchased it. I have taken several long trips in the truck and I pull a trailer and quad. While going over steep inclines I just feel that the transmission is more noticeable as it has to shift more often to make the grade and at higher RPM's. Still very satisfied with this vehicle.

We have owned our 2016 Toyota Tacoma for 2 months today, I parked truck in parking lot at work come out 3 hours later to go to lunch and my window was cracked shape of L, there was no sign of anything hitting it called the dealership Thomasville Toyota and they told me nothing they can do, to call our insurance company. Now I see I am not the first with this issue they need to recall and replace all windshields.

An accident that totaled my 2004 Tacoma extra-cab prerunner, caused me to need another vehicle. I liked my 04 Tacoma so much, I decided to replace it with the newest version of the same thing... a 2016 Tacoma trd sport access cab. The 2016 Tacoma sure is pretty, and it is a Toyota, I will give it that much. Like the history of the automotive industry in general, there comes a point where, (how do I say this?), advancements achieve a point of critical mass, and what are intended as advancements are actually something more like a de-evolution where the latest greatest may mark change, but not necessarily change for the better. Where there used to be a simple radio in my 04, the 2016 has a thing called a "head" which to me is little more than a glorified TV screen in the dash. The head is basically a touch screen operated onboard computer, with all kinds of the latest techno junk: Satelite, navigation, audio, weather, apps, and on and on and on. All I wanted was a reliable truck, not a computer, not a social networking tool, (and, oh joy) stock market info and a portal to buying movie tickets. Welcome to the future. No thanks. Maybe it's "just me", for expecting a better version of what I had in the 04, because what I ended up with "in my opinion" is a truck loaded with the latest... unnecessary, annoyingly distractive, sound and light polluting... technology. Where to start with how this truck just isn't working for me, (and it seems more like I'm working for it). Advanced blinding light features- I back out of my garage when it's dark out, the head screen lights up the interior of the truck so much, it makes it really hard to see anything outside of the truck. I know what your thinking: just turn the screen off... right? Did that, it requires interaction on the touch screen... by the way, not one move, but a few, to make it go black. And yeah, I adjusted the back up screen to it's lowest brightness, still too much light in the interior to see outside. Putting it in reverse automatically engages the back up camera, which automatically lights up the head screen. Turning off the head screen off under general settings does not keep the back up screen from coming on automatically when put in R. Turning off the back up camera requires an independent and separate set of moves. I just want to put it in reverse and be able to see outside of my vehicle in the dark conditions, not devote time to having to a bunch of fidgeting with all this electronic button pushing junk, just to kill this TV screen thing from blaring light that is making next to impossible to see beyond the interior of the cab. Annoying! In daylight conditions, the screen light does not present this issue. I like the back up cam, it's really handy. But guess what? If moves were made to turn it off, moves are required for turning everything back on again. So again, rather than just putting it in gear, gotta play with the damn technology again. This is what I mean as the difference between the truck working for me, and me working for the truck... too much technology interaction by the driver required. Anybody reading this who's a hunter can relate to how the following features are less than desirable: Annoying sounds that come standard, and no shut off controls, on my brand new 2016 Tacoma- Mine is the push button, keyless ignition, version. If you're really into annoying sounds, I highly recommend you go for this version! Oh yeah, it's cool to be able to grab the handle and it automatically unlocks... and to simply touch the handle and it locks... that part is awesome! Here's the catch though, an audible "beeping" and running lights flashing happens every time, no option to off those ... wa wa wa, not cool. Lights and sounds, a great feature intended to impress innocent bystanders how cool you are to be keyless? FYI- the lock mechanism functioning all by itself is audible enough, and you can feel the mechanism move too. So why the added beeping and the lights flashing?... and why no way to turn off the lights and sounds? Okay, maybe that's not entirely fair. There is a little sliver of a key in the electronic fob that can be used to open the door with no sound and lights involved. I wonder if the silence with the key has anything to do with not needing to advertise an old technology? the key is so miniscule, it like a high tech toothpick. The key's primary function is as a back up if the keyless technology fails, you can still get inside the truck. But if you have to use the key, good luck with the push button start. Can o worms! Door ajar is another annoying beeping sound effect. Yeah, I want my door open, okay? There's nothing wrong with that. The beeping though... there is something wrong with that... it's annoying! Seat belt not fastened sound effects- my dog sitting on the passenger seat triggered this one. Yeah, I know, the dog is not wearing a seat belt... slow beeps evolving into rapid beeps.
