Reading other reviews and it appears that the sluggish acceleration, constant gear hunting and rear end noise that I have are symptomatic for this vehicle. I've had the truck back at the dealership 4 times already for a reflash of the transmission firmware and the noisy rear end. The transmission still hunts all over the place when I'm on the highway and the rear end is still very noisy. I haven't experienced the leaking that others have complained about yet but I suspect it won't be long before I do. My brother bought a Colorado shortly after I bought this truck and after driving his I wish I had as well. I'd like to dump this truck now but I know I'll take a bath as I already have close to 10K miles on it. This is my second bad experience with a Toyota product and it will be my last.

2.5 years later update: Excellent vehicle still. I'll be keeping this one for sure. I just traded up my 2011 Tacoma 4cyl, 5 spd manual, 4x4 to a 2017 TRD Sport 4x4. This truck is great so far. I'm currently getting over 21mpg in the city. The engine and trans are set for economy, not power, unless you use the ECT power button. I haven't experienced any issues with my Tacoma as I've read about here. This is our 6th Toyota (my third Toyota truck). I have never had any reliability issues with any of the Toyotas I've owned. I had my first Toyota truck (1982 SR5 4x4 pickup) for over 13 years before I sold it. I expect to get at least 10 years out of this newer one. Update: 8/2022. Truck is very reliable and comfortable. Currently averaging 17-120 mpg depending on conditions (I did go up one tire size which had an affect on the mileage). Still very happy with this truck.

So i have had many 2wd and 4wd and this truck is amazing ! But , the fuel efficiency is off, the trans is too slugish , but the overall feel and ride is perfect !! Its an amazing truck but let's face it ! Prices keep going up like an iPhone! Perfect phone at times , but because of the name, they think value shlould increase!! I think what toyota has done is good somewhat , but no different than the ipone ! If u going to charge 35+ for a truck, i best see leather, and it loaded! Lets face it , most of us are not rich, we dont care for our lives to be payments and banks! If u sell a product make it worth the damn cash!!product price is way to high! Toyota builds its prices off the name! Yes quality can be good depending on what u get but its name isnt everything!! I dont care to pay $40,000 out the Door the rest pf my life for a sr5 4×4 double cab.. i like this truck but u and GMC and all else are [non-permissible content removed]! Pay has not imcreased , but cost of all else is rising! I may be able to pay, but dont care to be strapped for this amount when my 98 chevy s10 can do most of! Great build , but pricing is horrible! Get off the high horse toyota!!!

This is my first truck, after owning bars and small SUV. I have a model with manual transmission. I'm getting only 18 mpg on the highway. I expected a little bit better. I bought good stuffed tires and took the truck on snowed in mountain passes. In 4wd it holds the road like a champ. I have a full confidence in it. In 2wd it gets some fishtailing that is immediately corrected by traction control (I didn't have any weight in the bed). Breaking is great. I could feel ABS activating only once, when doing aggressive breaking from 60 mph on sheer ice. It partially may be thanks to good winter tires. Low beam headlights are good, high beam--best I've seen. Build quality seems to be OK. I found cross-threaded bolt holding belly pan. I have yet to address it with the dealer. I think materials used on dashboard could be better. My wife has 2010 Subaru Impreza and it feels much more refined, although cost just over 1/2 of a price for Tacoma. Telescopic steering wheel is a joke. I can't lift it high enough to comfortably get out of truck. It traps my right thigh between the wheel and the seat. The truck is also missing driver's side handle to assist in getting in and out of the cab (I'm fairly fit in late thirties). The biggest gripe I have is the fact that heated seats come only as part of $2000 package. I don't need parking sensors or moonroof, heated seats are nice to have in cold climate. All in all, I'm happy with the truck.

interior is nice and the truck design is sharp but the transmission is junk. It constantly shifts and it learns the way you drive which is a terrible option for a truck. The truck will cruise at 1000rpm which is way to low for that 3.5l. Not enough torque to pull that off. I like everything else but the driving experience is so bad i am forced to trade it in. Don't want to but i have never been more frustrated in a truck just driving down the street.
