I didn't have much money and I didn't want to get a loan, so I got the 4 cylinder. Luckily I got a standard because you have to wind it out to keep it going sometimes. Very comfortable and a good drive. Strangely there is no intermittent setting on the windshield wipers. Otherwise I am a happy camper! Update 11-23-2020: I read through other reviews and it certainly sounds like there's an issue with automatic transmissions. Therefore, get the manual! I haven't experienced any of the problems mentioned. In fact (knock on wood) I'm nearly to 50K miles and the only issue was a recall for the fan in the heater/AC. I'm still really happy with this vehicle. Update 5-23-2023: Still good. Getting oil changes only every 10,000 miles now with high mileage oil. Passing can be a little tense with the four-cylinder, so I don't tend to pass as much as I would otherwise. Good mileage though. Update 11-23-23: 75,000 miles now and time for a comprehensive servicing. Gone through 2 sets of tires including the factory tires. Great truck and really good in snow. Update 11-27-2024: Got some body work done (misc dents, etc.) and some after-market wheels, so the truck looks really good again -- like new! Those factory wheels got a lot of rust spots and looked like crap. Apparently the new Tacomas are all 4 cylinders now, but I'm sure they did something to get more power than what I get from my 4 cylinder. But it gets great gas mileage. Happy camper still.

BAHA Taco

Overall the newly designed Tacoma is nice truck. Luckily I have a three year lease on this truck. With 26 months into the lease and only 13K miles on the truck it is starting to bubble rust on the rocker sills where the weather seal attaches to the sill ... (very disappointing). The passenger side speaker in the dash near the A-pillar rattles annoyingly. I had a water stream running down the inside of the rear sliding window up in the corner on the drivers side while raining. There were two different times I climbed into the truck with a thick frost build up on the inside of the wind shield. (Yes it was near zero degrees outside but really??) Final note, looking forward to the end of my lease.

Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road Access Cab

I have 25,000 miles on this vehicle ranging from off road, around town and highway driving including trips through the mountains. This truck is very comfortable for long trips. It’s easy to steer and park! The utility of it is great! I use everything on it. The 6 foot bed is useful to haul everything that I have put in it. It’s lower height makes lifting things in and out of the bed a breeze. It’s narrower than a standard half ton truck so it’s easy to get down narrow dirt roads without scratching up your truck. It’s built tough to last! Go buy one now!

I waited to make this review after 1 year of driving. I love the high stance and ground clearance that have always made Tacoma’s stand apart. So far I love driving it. I am happy with the power and the peace of mind knowing it will last me many years of trouble free driving. After all, it’s the same engine found in Lexus, Sienna, Highlander and Camry. I agree the transmission likes to shift to the next gear quickly but I am getting decent mileage. Averaging 21-22mpg on regular fuel. If I get tired of the early shifting, I can press the ECT button and I’ve got plenty of power to keep or pass fellow motorists with ease. I can tell the interior material will last. The cloth seats and interior plastic feel very durable. I personally love the seating position. Toyota could put a little more features in the vehicle but the lack of cutting edge features is what helps keep Toyota reliable. Love the power sliding rear window. I get plenty of compliments. Update At 30k miles I have had a great experience. Still drives like new. So far I’ve had to replace the rear brake light due to a leak and battery died right at 2 year mark. Other than that truck has been very reliable.

DECENT TRUCK, WISH IT HAD A MANUAL.

I think the thing about the Tacoma I like least is the seating and the ergonomics. I'm short, 5' 2", and the side mirror is right in my line of vision making driving rather a little dangerous. I traded a 4L V6 Nissan Frontier for the Tacoma and I sort of wish I hadn't. (I wanted a manual transmission but I didn't want the trim level and price at which the standard for the V6 is available and I think the 2.7 L Tacoma engine with the 5 speed manual is quite underpowered.) The power in the Tacoma is decent but the automatic transmission feels a little, I don't know, squishy somehow...not as crisp and clear as other automatics I've driven, if that makes any sense. And the downshifts into first are weird. Come to think of it, to upshifts into first are weird, too. like the clutch slips or drags or something. (I don't know enough about automatics to know what it is.) The steering wheel position and distance are not optimal for me and not comfortable. MPG is kind of dismal but it's really about what you should expect from a V6/4WD and at least the tank is fairly capacious. I like the ability to manually shift (even though there's no clutch) and I like the automatic gear selection gait. The tailgait lowering damping in very nice but it's heavy to close and there's no help for that. I like the 4WD when the winter roads get snotty and in general the truck handles okay. I had an '02 Mazda B Series that had terrible corrosion problems so I had the Tacoma undercoated with some dealer-applied gunk but the jury is still out on the value of having done that since I have only 8K miles on the OD. I like the body styling, a vest improvement over the early 2000s which looked like warthogs on wheels. I think the dash climate control knobs themselves are a bit unclear and the blower is a bit weak. The power steering is great, very light. Overall, I like my Tacoma well enough but I'm not super impressed with any one aspect.
