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

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....

Auto transmission issues

I bought a new 2017 Toyota Tacoma Nov. 2016. Transmission slips, mostly first thing in the AM. with engine cold (I live in SW Florida so it's not real cold). When I park uphill in my driveway (front first) overnight it slips first thing in the AM., when I park downhill in my driveway (back in) it didn't seem to slip. Doesn’t seem to do it after it has been running a while. It also downshifts with an audible CLUNK @ some stops early in the day. I read online that there were similar issues with the 2016 models. Some were saying the transmission fluid was lowfrom the factory and some would say it was a factory code that needed to be downloaded that corrected it. Either way there is an issue. Engine and transmission don’t seem to be in sync when taking off. Very sluggish especially if I’m turning hard at the same time. Hesitates, engine skips sometimes going down the road. Brought to the dealer, they check the fluid which was spot on and they downloaded the latest download for the transmission. Stopped slipping BUT the engine and transmission don’t seem to be in sync when taking off still. Hesitates, engine/transmission skips or I should say bucks sporadically going down the road at different speeds. Mostly on light acceleration. I brought it back to the dealer again and after them talking to Toyota techs they told me it was the characteristics of the transmission (flaring) and they could do nothing about it @ this time. I test drove another same model and it did the same thing. I am contemplating on trading it for an American truck now or I might hold onto it for a while longer to see if they come up with a fix. I know they had a PILE of same issues with the 2016 models according to some forums I read. I had a 2006 Tacoma for 10 yrs with absolutely ZERO issues and loved it. I would say the total redesign was an error on their part. Why did they ever change something that wasn't broken?
