2018 Toyota Tacoma - Transmission Issues
Don't buy the Tacoma Automatic, Weatherford, OK, 04/23/2020
2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
The 2018 Tacoma Automatic has so many forward gears that it cannot decide what gear it wants to be in. If it's not down shifting or shifting into a higher gear only to down shift and do it again it's not happy. This is my 4th Toyota Tacoma - PRIOR to this 2018 they have always been a great great little truck. This truck would be ok if you never expected to get out of 2nd or maybe 3rd … gear - but highway driving - even in Oklahoma where it's mostly flat and there aren't too many hills to climb is frustrating as can be - do NOT buy a Toyota Tacoma 6 Cylinder Automatic unless you like feeling the jerk of an automatic transmission that cannot decide what gear to be in. Toyota Service acknowledges that everyone complains about this - but to my knowledge has never found any form of solution.

2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I always wanted a Toyota Tacoma and I found the perfect one at Toyota of Watertown MA. The only thing I don’t like about the interior of the Tacoma was he lack of room inside, but I guess it’s understandable since it’s not a full size truck. Overall so far so good. It’s nice looking, good in gas compare to other pickup trucks, and it rides smooth.

Which Tacoma does Edmunds recommend?
If we were putting down our own money for an off-road-capable small truck, we'd opt for the TRD Off-Road V6 4WD. It provides an impressive amount of capability without the sticker shock. The cabin is equipped with enough creature comforts (heated seats, a 7-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone charging, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a sunroof) to make it an acceptable companion for a daily commute.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
Driving
7.5The Tacoma steers and handles with quiet confidence on the road, but the V6 engine and its automatic transmission don't always respond quickly to inputs. All 4WD Tacomas benefit from Toyota's off-road design emphasis, but the TRD Off-Road is particularly capable when the pavement ends.
Comfort
8.0The Tacoma has an agreeable ride quality, and the seats are accommodating. But the high floor tends to make tall drivers wish for more adjustability.
Interior
8.5The interior is nicely laid out, with easily understood and effective controls. The cabin has plenty of space up front, but tall folks might disagree. The biggest shortcomings are the relatively tall step up to the cab and an odd driving position.
Utility
9.5The Tacoma's composite bed has lots of smart cargo management features, and there's a decent number of places for items in and around the cab. Its tow rating isn't quite class-leading, but it isn't far off the mark. Child seat fitment in the crew cab favors forward-facing seats and boosters.
Technology
We generally like the touchscreen audio system because it has large virtual buttons and employs knobs for volume and tuning chores. Supports smartphones with a proprietary Entune app instead of the more universal Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Lags behind Honda Ridgeline in advanced driver aids.
