I am leasing a 2019 Tacoma Limited (wanted a TRD Off Road, but dealer didn't have a decent color available) and am ultimately pleased thus far (had it for a month). However, there ARE a few flaws I'd like to share with prospective buyers -- not to dissuade, but to educate and alert. First, the front side windows are slightly tinted with a film that causes a wavy pattern in the glass, distorting the view at certain forward angles. My passenger complains of motion sickness at low speeds caused by the distortion of horizontal objects that seem to ripple with forward motion. I only mention this because this is not an issue with Tacoma's competition, the Ford Ranger. Second, the engine hood sheet metal was separated from the framework underneath which caused the hood panel to visibly vibrate at speeds above 40 mph -- very annoying and distracting. I resolved this issue myself by liberally applying 100% silicone adhesive to the space between the framework and the sheet metal, providing both support and adhesion. Next, the tri-fold hard tonneau cover that came with the truck has a gap between the cover and the bed rail that allows water to seep inside -- and the cover itself has no way to adjust the tightness to the bed. Seriously? Who designed this cover? Finally, and I mean this as a personal fan of cup holders because of their convenience, why are there TEN cup holders in a cab that seats five people? Do all Japanese drink from both hands while travelling? WTF? It should also be noted that when I washed my Tacoma in a touchless car wash, the rubber strip on the roof that covers the groove where an optional roof rack would be added dislodged and began flapping during the blow dry cycle of the car wash.

The transmission is constantly shifting up and down and it bogs down a lot because of the shifting delays. The dealer has told me at the last 2 services that this is normal. I told them that it shifts like an old Chevy.

I won't write a long review, just don't buy one of these 3rd Gen tacos. - Truck surges at a stoplight if the air conditioning is on. It actually goes forward a little bit. - Brakes are absolutely horrible on this thing. - As it downshifts while slowing down, sometimes there is a 500 rpm-ish surge, which makes it feel like a battle to slow down/stop the truck. Brakes are already squeaking because of this. Feels like braking a very large moving truck full of furniture. - Hood sheet medal vibrates. - Truck has braked on its own whilst driving on the interstate. - Four wheel drive has a mind of its own. Sometimes it will engage, sometimes it doesn't and just blinks on the dash. - Absolutely zero power unless you floor it, and not until like 4th gear, then it jumps into gear and takes off. Very uncomfortable feeling. I honestly do not think these are safe to drive vehicles. I own a 2019 TRD OFF-ROAD double cab v6 4x4.

Toyota trucks are awesome, but a Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7 engine is a total, miserable combination. I wish I had never let the dealership talk me into buying it. The MPG is no better then the V6, because of the weight it has to pull it's self around with. Stay away from the 2.7.

Traded my 2014 Tacoma for a 2019 Tacoma, worst mistake of my life. The truck has a slight skip as though one of the cylinders is miss firing. its subtle, but its there. Towing my 18 foot boat and its very noticeable. In stop and go traffic the engine bogs down and you have really step on the gas and the truck slingshots you. Also the auto interior rear view mirror doesn't work. Brought the truck to the dealership TWICE to correct these problems but no go. As far as the mirror goes, the tech shined a light to the mirror and it worked. I did the same thing and it worked fine. But in REAL nighttime traffic, no go. My next trip to the dealership in a couple of weeks will not be pleasant! Worst Toyota I have EVER owned and I have owned quite a few over the years . DONT BUY THIS POS TRUCK!!!!
