2017 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4dr Double Cab 5.0 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
62 of 66 people found this review helpful
I have the 2.7 ltr 4 cyl and the truck was making a whining noise which I almost didn't take to the dealer because I thought it was no big deal.....well I was wrong for sure as the truck had a bad engine block from the factory and now Toyota is having to put a new engine in the truck. I hope this isn't the first of many problems but I have seen other issues w the truck from other owners such as the real diff going out etc. I would consider another truck and Toyota won't buy this one back and the dealer is refusing to swap for a new truck only saying if I give them more money then I can get the exact same truck I have.....I have purchased 4 other Toyotas and I am really disappointed with the lack of quality in this one....

Purchased this TRD sport in Blazing Blue Pearl in August of 2016. Highway driving I get over 24 mpg at 55-60 mph. Around this small town I am getting 19, which is much better than my 2015 Tacoma with the 4.0 V6. The truck is less comfortable and a little quieter. I have owned several Tacoma's and this one seems to have been rushed into production. The navigation works well as do all the apps. I am very disappointed with this truck. The transmission never knows what gear it wants to be in and going up the slightest incline will cause the transmission to downshift two to three times. I have been told that Toyota fashioned it this way to improve gas mileage but the improved gas mileage doesn't make up for the way it drives. They should have stuck with the old 5 speed which was impressive but I think they rushed this one through. For the cost of the vehicle I would think twice.

Rear differential failed at 750 miles. Replacement recalled for leaks 3 months later. Harsh ride compared to other trim levels, combination of hard leather seats and dated leaf spring supension creates fatigue on long rides. Steering wheel adjustment is a joke. Acceleration is disappointing when operating in Atkinson cycle but floor it and Otto cycle is great. Have not tried E85 fuel. Six speed transmission shifts up early but sufficient torque is available when pulling 3,000 lb. loaded trailer. 4 x4 Hi drive with traction control is good on ice. 4 x 4 Lo will climb through 3 ft. snow banks. The power moon roof and power rear window is perfectly matched and provides excellent ventilation at any speed. After 23,700 miles and 3 winters commuting in blizzard conditions, it is obvious that someone at Toyota HQ needs to get out of their office cubical and try winter driving. NO REAR WINDOW HEATER is both annoying and dangerous. Power sliding rear window fails with ice and snow. 4x4 traction and good snow tires make this a good winter vehicle. At 46,200 miles engine hesitates under load. No check engine warning. Dealer confirms no on-board diagnostic codes displayed or pending. So no fix available. Paint is also dissolving on tonneau cover leaving bare metal.

Beware of the Recall for 2017 Tacoma

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4dr Double Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

First off, my previous Tacoma was a 2010 model and only problems I had was the cabin fan acting up and getting replaced twice and put 170k miles on it. So I decided to move to the 2017 Tacoma and 7 months of owning it , I can say it's nice except, the transmission seems to slow down the engine with shifting. It did improve though but not 100% sold on this new type of transmission. On month 8, I went to dealer for noise issue on drivers side, then that turned into downing my truck for something completely different a recall. So month later, truck still at dealership and the recall has no fix yet for the leaking rear differential even though their letter clearly stated change gaskets and re torque.... I called headquarters and keep getting the run around about when they got a fix for this issue. As of today they say it can take up to 3-6 months to get a fix for recall. Now I don't know about ya'"ll planning to buy one but if it takes that long to fix a recall it's not worth buying. Nothing better than paying for a truck you can't drive due to their mistakes.... thanks Toyota you may of lost a long time customer after this mess....

Automatic Transmission sucks, shifting is wrong, manual shift does not work properly, cruise control / transmission over revs the engine even after topping hills wasting fuel and frustrating owner. Fuel mileage is poor for a Toyota partly because of the stupid transmission. when going down hill transmission downshifts to slow vehicle wasting fuel, cheap parts made in Mexico cab blower fan broke 11 months after owning, yah i have the one in a million defect. Poor hwy performance for a v6 again possibly the electronically controlled transmission. Comfortable to drive long distance, the extending steering wheel could have had more telescoping adjustment, Poor interior lighting, no bed lighting. you are not able to have accessory on without the dash lights on (and they are not adjustable) and it timing out and turning off, not good to listen to radio for more than 10 minutes without re-energizing the ignition. 18mpg hwy over a 3000 mile trip.
