I just bought a 2018 TRD Sport. The transmission is not much better than the 16 I used to own. I love Tacomas but abandoned them when the 16 model just didnt live up to its previous reputation. Bought a Frontier, which was a good truck but smaller and less fuel efficient. After speaking to other new 2018 owners I decided to take another chance which I hoped would be for the best. Bought with the technology pkg. and a few cosmetic extras like step bars, all weather pkg., etc. Right now it has 350 miles on it. The first fill up at 185 miles averaged 23.5 mpg with combination highway and city driving. The Inferno color looks great with the tinted windows all around. The ride is very comfortable. The one complaint is getting in and getting out. I am over 6 ft tall so it is a little awkward and I wish the steering wheel had more vertical adjustment to it. Overall I am still not very satisfied. The transmission still hunts for gears and downshifts all the time. Dealer says to stop that you should engage the ECT button but why should you have to do that. I don't think this lives up to the Toyota reputation. Maybe they don't care because they sure have heard a lot about these transmission issues. this has been sold.

I have now driven it for 18 months and still feel the same . The ETF button helps to a degree but it still disappointing that this one issue really takes away from the whole impression of the vehicle. I work with Japanese firms every day and they are so picky about the details I can't believe this type of performance was acceptable to the Toyota engineering people. So much good stuff between the looks and the technology goes down the drain because the thing can't figure out what gear it wants to be in !!! Some days I feel like driving it off a cliff. Shame on Toyota for allowing this to happen and shame on me for not test driving a Ridgeline. After 9 years in a 2009 Taco I trusted that Toyota could not mess up such a great vehicle. Make sure you take a very long test drive and are convinced you can live with this very noisy, balky constant up and down shifting.

Bought my first Toyota, for the most part, because evryone always told me how great they are from a quality standpoint. I was not impressed. I would say some of the things I mention were engineering and build quality issues. Got rid of it after 15 months. Issues - Engine Squeak when warm - I was told this is normal, Heater controls were very hard to turn, Noise from under dash on passenger side - fixed, Had to have transmission reprogrammed for shifting issue - better but hurt performance. My new Grand Cherokee with a HEMI gets the same mileage.

Speakers vibrate both front doors, phone Jack works when it wants too. Tranny can not make up it's mind in what to do. It's shifts down when going down a hill for no reason with no load. Makes noises, clanks, the sales person told me don't worry about the tranny it will act funny only because the truck is getting use to your driving habits for 1000 miles.. I got 2700. And it still acts up shifting when it shouldnt.. Thank God it's a lease.. lol
