Absolutely no power at all. This is 7th Tacoma-- worst ever. Lucky to do 60 passing, then is wound so tight. Shifts all time-- crazy. Lost power 3 times now, computer at dealership showed no codes first time, has done 2 more times ( total 3 ) goes back Mon. Trying to find a answer from some one in states-- cannot only be mine. Like the black/ red design interior first ever.

Researching mid size trucks I tested the Tacoma. Poor acceleration, gears changed like for no reason, bouncing back and forth. New vehicle? My god. I wanted to scream. Decided to have a sit down with sales. Told him was shopping and would be in touch. Will try another dealership and drive. Thanks to this review board this buyer is very aware. PS. I previously tested a Colorado and none of these problems were present. These problems may just be the roll of the dice. When I make my final choice (from on line inventory) my test drive will resemble the scene from the flick ‘Used Cars’ where the race car driver poses as a buyer and takes the ‘57 Chevy for a test drive. BTW, I do all my negotiations via E mail, I pick my exact vehicle and go from there. I don’t let them treat me like I’m buying a timeshare property.

I waited months for this truck. I could hardly hold my excitement in when the dealer finally called and said it had arrived. I now have 4500 miles on it, and am considering selling it. This truck cannot maintain highway speeds in Montana (80MPH). The constant shifting drive me crazy. I have two 4.0 V6 Toyota's, they are far superior to my new truck on the highway. I love the rest of the truck and would be 100% satisfied if it had a better engine. update: traded it in on a 2018 4runner TRD PRO. love it

Recently traded in my 2015 Tundra for a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Paid almost exactly for the Tacoma what I paid for the Tundra two years ago (approx $37,500). I have driven Tundras since 2008 and loved them but I thought downsizing would be good since I rarely used the Tundra's full size capability and only averaged 15 MPG for mostly highway driving. So the Tacoma looks good and has a smaller engine, so I guessed better mileage and ease of parking at Wal-Mart. I have driven it about 800 miles so these are my first impressions. Driver seat is VERY uncomfortable for me and I can't adjust it to fit me properly. I am 5' 10" and 200 lbs. THERE IS NO POWER DRIVER SEAT. My wife's Honda CRV has a power memory seat for gosh sakes!!. C"mon Toyaota. Wake up to who is buying this vehicle. Printed pattern on the seats looks like a design from the 1980's. The engine is my other complaint. Again, I am used to the big V-8 Tundra, but the Tacoma just feels under powered. When you push down on the gas pedal it seems like it has to downshift to go faster, or entering the highway seems to tax it's capabilities. Mileage so far is about 18MPG while I expected at least 20. The electronics and navigation are easy to use. If you want one, take it on a much longer test drive than I did. I regret my decision to buy this vehicle. Next time I would look at the Colorado, and I hate any GM product and have told my wife to shoot me if I ever even considered a GM product. Please Toyota, help save my life and upgrade the Tacoma! ⁸ UPDATE: After driving the Tacoma for 9 months, I traded it in on a new Tundra and my life was back to normal.

I waited to make this review after 1 year of driving. I love the high stance and ground clearance that have always made Tacoma’s stand apart. So far I love driving it. I am happy with the power and the peace of mind knowing it will last me many years of trouble free driving. After all, it’s the same engine found in Lexus, Sienna, Highlander and Camry. I agree the transmission likes to shift to the next gear quickly but I am getting decent mileage. Averaging 21-22mpg on regular fuel. If I get tired of the early shifting, I can press the ECT button and I’ve got plenty of power to keep or pass fellow motorists with ease. I can tell the interior material will last. The cloth seats and interior plastic feel very durable. I personally love the seating position. Toyota could put a little more features in the vehicle but the lack of cutting edge features is what helps keep Toyota reliable. Love the power sliding rear window. I get plenty of compliments. Update At 30k miles I have had a great experience. Still drives like new. So far I’ve had to replace the rear brake light due to a leak and battery died right at 2 year mark. Other than that truck has been very reliable.
