I purchased a 2019 Tacoma about 3 months ago and already hate the truck. The transmission jumps all over the gears and the engine misfires often. The dealer and Toyota are blowing me off, saying it does not have a code showing any problems.

I traded in a 2013 Tacoma double cab 6sp. for this POS..now i get honked at at red lights cause it has zero pick up. I am constantly down shifting cause it has no power on hills that my 13 would fly up..i was told the new engine has more HP but I don't know where it is. sad! UPDATE: Unloaded that junkpile and got a Jeep Wrangler JKU rubicon.

I had saved for 3 years to buy a new Tacoma, What a mistake I made buying a Tacoma! On a gradual grade at about 40mpg the truck starts to shutter, almost feels like a tire is out of round. Carried it to the dealer, they told me they knew exactly what I was talking about. They said Toyota is aware of the problem, but has not figured out a fix. The service manager told me he owns a 2018 Tacoma and is ready to trade to something other than a Tacoma.What a shame, i would tell anyone whom is contemplating buying a Tacoma, get the manual Transmission or move on to another make and model. UPDATE. I gave up on Toyota to be able to come up with a fix for the above problem. I traded the truck at took a $6000 bath to get rid of it. I will never EVER, purchase another Toyota product! Reconfirming I will never buy a another Toyota product! Reconfirming again, I will never buy another Toyota product!!!!!

noise from Transmission

I have had my tacoma for just over a year. When new there was a slight moaning-ringing type of noise that would happen on acceleration up hills. I didn’t mention this to the dealer at my first service but did talk about it with a friend that purchased the same truck about the same time. He hadent noticed any strange noise. The noise became worse and it would happen all the time seeming just before shifting and stop as soon as it shifted into the next gear. On my second service I told the dealer about the noise and they asked me to drive with someone to demonstrtate the noise. We went for a drive the noise was verified. Engine oil and service was done as well as an AC not blowing cold issue that was repaired under warranty. When I picked the truck up I was told the service was done, the A/C was fixed but they could not verify the transmission noise and was asked to go on another test drive. Drive we did and the noise was gone and my invoice stated could not verify noise from transmission. Now the noise will still happen but not as loud and only acceleration on hills like it did when new. My concern and thoughts are that there was possibly an additive added to the Transmission fluid and it may keep the ultimate failure of the transmission to happen after the warranty period ends. I am considering about sending a fluid sample to one of the testing labs and see the results. Other than that this makes a great work truck.

Good looking truck Decent gas mileage 22-26 , put a trailer and side by side behind it, it drops to 14-17 Took me about a month and 5000 miles to learn how to drive it... 6 speed auto does suck. Don’t mind the rough ride, has very good suspension and rides the way I expected small 4WD Have had it about a year and had 25000 miles Looks like a well built truck Other than the crappy transmission I love it If your in the market you need to decide what you are going to use it for.. towing a trailer a lot May not be the best. but commuting to work and back, it’s fun to drive and gets a lot of compliments . If I had it to do over, I would have got the 6 speed manual
