2017 limited, V6 AWD, top the line. Very poor (slow and jerky) acceleration. You feel the engine working hard when RPM change from 2 to 3 to 4. Small slope requires high RPM. This is so different from my previous Lexus RX 330. The rear camera alarm stopped alarming within a month. Will sell it.

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
3 of 6 people found this review helpful
This is my third Tacoma...clearly I love these trucks. The TRD PRO has great off-road capabilities...that I probably won't use. I don't go "rock crawling" or anything crazy. The PRO package is slightly over-priced in my opinion...but I still love it, which says alot. I know I could have opted for the TRD Sport or Off-Road...but then it wouldn't be a "PRO." (I'm kinda a sucker). I also lease...and the PRO has very high residual value which kept my payments low. I wish I would have gotten a manual transmission because the automatic seems like it is searching for gears too much. But manual tansmissions are incredibly (and frustratingly) rare. Wish Toyota would make more manual transmission PRO's. The interior is a big upgrade...heated leather seats, quiet ride, solid feel, love the instrumentation. I love this truck. If pressed to find a complaint, I would say I wish it were manual and had a moon roof (available on other packages). I love the blue tooth features, but not a fan of Toyota's navi...I just use my iPhone app for that. Some "Entune" apps are junk (Movie Tickets and restaurant reviews), but others are great (Pandora). I don't like XM/Sirius...not going to pay for radio. The radio knobs are bad...I use the steering wheel controls. (really...radio knobs??? pretty minor complaint, I know). I don't tow anything, or haul excessively heavy loads. I can easily handle half a cord of wood...which is about as heavy as I get. I also shopped light trucks from Nissan, Honda Ridgeline, and GM's Colorado. Honda Ridgeline was great, but felt too much like a car. Didn't care for Nissan. Colorado felt "plasticy" and too lightweight. (fair disclosure...I don't care for GM vehicles, so not sure I gave it fair look. But it seemed like it would be typical GM junk before 5000 miles). Considered a Tundra (because it was at the dealership), but I didn't want or need a full-size truck. I love this Tacoma PRO. Only have 4K miles on it...so things could change. But right now, I love it, highly recommend it, and would totally buy it again. UPDATE - End of my lease. Turned my Tacoma TRD PRO in. Residual value was set by Toyota about $6K less than what it was worth. So the dealership PAID ME a check for (almost) 6 grand. These trucks HOLD THEIR VALUE. I totally would buy another. BEST TRUCKS ON THE MARKET!!! If you need to know...I bought a Jeep. I have wanted one since I was a kid. Leased the Tacoma b/c I used to be a responsible person and I had 2 kiddos...baby seats and open tops didn't seem to go together. I love Tacomas and will own one again...hopefully a 2017 Tacoma TRD PRO.

2017 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I love this truck. Gas mileage is OK, but it's a truck so I didn't expect to get super mileage. My only complaint it there is not trim package that has a power seat or a manual way to raise and lower it. After 4000 miles, I'm used to it. I considered a Ford and Chevrolet that are bigger, but went with the Tacoma because of the styling, resale value, and I don't need a full size. If you are very tall, this might not be the truck for you. Or any mid-sized truck.

Could Be The World's Greatest Truck

I just love my Tacoma SR5. For starters, I live in S. Florida where there are no hills, so I don't have any issue with the Transmission shifting. I hand wash my car, so I don't have any automatic car wash concerns or regrets. I have 2wd and don't like to get my truck dirty, so not at all concerned with off road capability issues although the general consensus is that the 4wd Tacoma is capable in that arena. There are approximately 4,071,000 miles (6,552,000 km) of roads in the United States, so why out of your way to off road? The truck carried approximately 2,000 lbs of tile from store to my house without issue, and without bottoming out the suspension. The truck carried a whole pallet of paver brick to my house without issue. The truck is fun to drive, keeps up with traffic, easy to park, gets decent mileage at 20mpg, and can get to 90 real quick on the highway. I can pass cars that are passing cars (when I'm road raging California Style, LOL!) I have owned/driven Ford, Nissan, and Honda trucks, which in my opinion were not as fast,did not handle as well, and were not as fun to drive. For me its the experience and Tacoma has it. Ultimately it is your decision, but frankly some of the comments are real nit picky. You either like it or you don't.

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

Had this truck for 2 months and I am in love with it. The ga she mileage is mediocre averaging about 17.5 in town and 22 on the highway but it's a truck. Nobody buys a truck for it's excellent gas mileage. I've been off roading once and the 4WD system in 4LO got me through the local trail just fine but I did use the crawl control feature just to say I tried it even though it's not necessary. The crawl control and Multi terrain select features are great toys to have for off roading which is one of the reasons I went for the off road over the sport model. Some have been complaining about the transmission shifting gears to often and I did experience it early on but now that my truck has 3k miles on it the transmission is more in sync. Once the truck breaks in its far more responsive. I'm 6'1 and I fit just fine in my taco and my family members fit all fine in the backseat. I love my 2017 taco and I will drive her to the wheels fall off and don't care to own any other pickup truck on the market.
