Before your purchase please check out the owner forums and reviews - specifically regarding the engine and transmission. After owning many long lasting and fantastic vehicles from Toyota, I never thought to do much research given my ownership history - my bad and lesson learned. My truck's issues included a transmission which continued to hunt for the proper gear regardless of grade or terrain, a hood which vibrated constantly at highway speeds due to multiple broken welds which could easily be seen from underneath, and unexplained engine power loss at high speeds. Dealership was never able to help with the transmission or engine glitches. After four weeks of driving in frustration I had enough. I know I am not alone, just read the forums and reviews from others.

I am very disappointed and unhappy with my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. Having owned two previous Tacoma's, Toyota really missed the mark on this truck. The truck has very poor acceleration and the transmission constantly shifts hunting for the right gear. This is very annoying on the freeway. Went on a 900 mile trip and the truck and averaged approx. 15 miles to the gallon. Everything else about the truck is outstanding.

After doing a lot research and talking to people who own other tacomas, I decided to get one. After previously driving a 13 Camry se and 14 RAV4 limited, I've got to say for a truck, Toyota has done an incredible job. Everything seems more durable and a lot easier to keep clean than my previous Toyotas. The look of this vehicle I can't stop looking at it. My parents just bought 16 Chevy Silverado 2500hd and although it's an amazing truck as well but impressed that a truck that's $13k less comes with a bed liner. The ride is great and people complain about the seats, I'm 511 and body builder build and I'm perfectly comfortable. I do wish there was height adjustable but I'm still comfortable. I love that the speed limit pops up on the instrument cluster. Gas mileage, this is a truck, not an unibody vehicle, but averaging 20.4 in mixed driving and lots of Boston traffic. Wish I got tech package with blind spot etc like rav but can't have everything. After test driving a 17 Colorado, I feel I got more bang for my buck. Bedliner, bed power outlet, keyless ignition, and the best resale value of any value on the road and it was kind of no brainier. Everyone I ask how you like your Tacoma always says I love it. I couldn't be happier and can def feel this truck will last a long time. My daily commute is hour to work and back and I don't regret getting rid of my rav. I'm comfortable and just love the ride after all this is a truck and seems to me lot quieter than I thought it would be. But this is my opinion do your research and test drivers, ask people how they like their tacomas and make your decision, personal preference is key these days....
frustratingly sluggish on highway

I wanted Toyota reliability and quality and the offroad capabilities. Tacoma seemed like everything I wanted. but my daily commute on the highway is very frustrating. it's severely underpowered and difficult to keep steady speed as transmission is shifting gears constantly. acceleration is poor and even other cheap low end cars pass this truck all the time. I have to floor it to climb even the slight uphill. it's really a bad driving experience. update 2 years later: that auto transmission is pathetic. the worst is when I drive around 60-70 mph and the transmission can't decide which gear to stay in. feels very under powered. my opinions are unchanged.

Worst Truck I've ever purchased

I purchased this truck in October of 2016. At 500 miles I took it back in and told them the truck had no pull and was shifting terrible. After letting the dealership look at the truck the only answer I got was it's a "Toyota Problem". I called and got Toyota involved and got a case brought on the truck. At 1000 miles I was still complaining about the performance with no help from the dealer or Toyota. I kept taking it back and at 15,000 miles I had had enough of the run around and wanted to just get rid of it and try again. The dealer offered me $4000.00 less than what I owed. This is after the Service manager had told me that I was not the only one complaining about the truck. I've been driving the truck and now at 55k my son can run faster than the truck. I wanted to stay with a Tacoma because I've still got a 2004 double cab 6 cyl that has been one the best trucks I've ever owned. After all of the time and run around I'm getting away from the Tacoma because of no one wanting to own up to the problem I'm having with the 2017.
