Vehicle has a fair ride, gas mileage okay for a midsize pickup, electronics okay, logic behind locking the vehicle if you open with key fob but don’t put key in the ignition it then locks you out?

A catchy mid-size ride

I really love the truck. This is my 3rd truck. The other 2 had a 6 & 8 cylinders. This handles well on ice, snow and it's just rear wheel drive. I'm mid sized so the interior fits me. I have a lot of hills around me and it does feel fine. You do have to get a feel for the accelerator. Just stomping on the gas at the bottom of the hill will drop you down the gears and cause excessive shifting of the transmission. It is a 4cyl, so it's not going to throw you back into the seat. But it accelerates fine on a grade. The braking is a little underwhelming. What I like the most is the value. Stepping up to a 6cyl can set you back 2500-3200 bills. It has really good ground clearance and gets decent MPG. If your going to haul a lot of heavy-loads at speed, get a bigger engine like an 8cyl. But if your hauling stuff like firewood, refrigerator, etc, this truck will do. The biggest selling points on the truck are comfort, looks, handling, reliability and price point. And lastly the dealership was a thumbs up for me. This is my 2nd Toyota and have had nothing but good things to say about both. I did get the utility package.

Very comfortable ride and quiet. Large screen for the navigation and audio. Beautiful metallic blue color and black wheel trim. AC doesn't get as cold as my other vehicles. Sound system is weak in quality and sound volume. My other vehicles have better speaker quality and volume can be made louder than the Tacoma. Since it is my newest vehicle I would expect higher standards. Door molding on driver side needed to be replaced and took over three weeks at the Toyota dealer in Escondido. Not impressed with durability of parts at such an early date. Recently replaced the OEM tires, much better ride.

Since 2006 I have been driving tacomas. two to be exact. I recently retired, and Do not drive much. so I have a 2017 in my driveway with 2500 miles. It has always run like a Swiss clock. I am serious. Just an awesome vehicle, with 4wd and a manual trans. hey I like to drive. I wonder what I could get for this truck from the open market. Its like a new truck.

Drivers seat low for someone 5' 7" and not adjustable for height. Side mirrors obstruct my view as they are directly in my line of sight. At some time in the near future I will raise the seat. That's it for complaints. I love this truck. The seat is very comfortable and I would not hesitate to take it on a long trip.
