Tacoma Monster Destroyed Elephant Hill

A testament to Toyota truck reliability and quality. Bought a 6 speed manual 4 door TRD off road in late march 2018. Wife and I took it out to Canyonlands Utah for some off roading on Memorial day. Stock truck on Elephant Hill was brutal. Loose sand, stair step drops, intense rocks. Lets say factory skid plate is well seasoned at this point with about 4500 miles. The truck took it all in stride and held up to the punishment. After we made it to the camp site remember telling her exactly what's written in the first sentence of this review. Should preface this by stating I am Tacoma addict. Been driving one since 2003. Never modded any of them and never been stuck once off roading. The 2018 truck has given me no reason to change brands. Only strengthened my opinion of the Tacoma line. They have a reputation of reliability and holding their value for a reason. The six speed manual is great. I heard the complaints about the automatic and its relentless shifting. After test driving one, glad I went with the manual. Love this truck, with the electronics package, and manual transmission

I come from a 1st generation Tacoma with over 450xxx miles and it was still running strong. I got this 2017 TRD Sport 4x4 for about a year 1/2 now and totally love it. Toyota is well known of producing great trucks and this is not an exception.

Construction Quality

I’ve owned Toyota vehicles since 2007 and traded every one for a newer vehicle. I owned three 4Runners and I have been amazed with the overall high construction quality. I purchased a 2018 Tacoma and in comparison with my previous vehicles it became very obvious after a couple of weeks how the poor of some areas like the easy does Dior panels scratch, the front bumper seems like is not fasten well enough. Overall the vehicle has a great look inside and out, performance is also great to include MPG of 24 gals per gallon.

Solid truck, terrible technology

The truck is solid and can go anywhere, but the technology is embarrassingly bad. The Entune nav system is garbage. It can't recognize a voice. The map interface is garbage. Also, the built in USB charger doesn't produce enough current to charge a phone while using navigation on the phone, which you have to do because the built in nav system is so bad. Wireless charging is no better. It is located near the heater ducting, so the phone overheats while wirelessly charging in the winter. This truck should have been shipped with Android Auto, which is infinitely better than Toyota's junk. Instead Toyota shipped their junk and did not provide enough details to the aftermarket to produce a proper replacement. Did I mention that the air conditioning unit is undersized, so on hot days it doesn't cool the cab down well? Thank God I'm not in Texas in the summer. The driver aids are good and protect everyone in the truck, but they are a step back from what is in my wife's Mazda. This is likely my first and last Toyota. My next truck will likely be a self driving electric. I don't think Toyota can pull off the technology. They are stuck in the 1990s. Oh yeah, I've had to take the truck in for recalls more in a year than my Subaru needed in a decade. Also, the 5,000 mile oil change is a relic of the past. My Subaru and Mazda were closer to 10,000 miles. Ugh. ...and, I have the manual transmission. The shifter boot is poorly designed and rattles off the shifter regularly. The redeeming part of the truck is that it is solidly built.
