Searching for Gears and worthless premium sound
Toyota Review , New York, NY, 09/17/2020
2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
2020 Tacoma TRD Sport with JBL Premium Sound. Have about 6k miles on it. Auto trans is constantly searching for the right gear and is a slight nuisance. My biggest gripe is paying extra for the upgraded JBL sound system and it is absolute garbage. You can barely hear the music at highway speeds or when the windows are down. Not sure what they were thinking. Even with Bluetooth calls, you … can barely hear the person on the other line, even at max volume. Max volume on this system is abysmally low. I can’t believe JBL would even want their name on this system. I have a portable JBL speaker that puts out more bass and volume than my truck does. I’m severely disappointed with this fact as music is super important to me. Will be my last Toyota unfortunately. It’s terrible because everything else is great and up to par but in 2020 paying extra for a subpar system is just plain highway robbery.
A nice surprise in the TRD spec trims.

2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4dr Double Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
While the no high performance disc brakes in the rear/all around and the cop out excuses for why it does not come with that are a pain, the truck performs well. The Trucks interior is very nice and quiet. It handles off road very well. It tows for its size very well. It is super reliable. Looks good in TRD trims. Some Functions on the steering wheel that applies to stereo control are … backwards for the U.S. It accelerates well as long as you have it in S mode. The truck tries to stay two gears too high when driving in D mode. A re tune of the Transmission would solve this. Simple software fix really.
First and last Taco

Don’t buy. The transmission doesn’t know what it wants at any speed. Floorboard vibrations up to 60 mph. The film in the front widows almost makes you sick. Gonna trade in for and older truck.
Best Truck EVER!

No complaints whatsoever! This vehicle has a smooth, quiet ride for a 4x4 truck. The handling is superb.

Which Tacoma does Edmunds recommend?
The topped-out TRD Pro and Limited trim levels are the most appealing of the Tacoma offerings, but they're also the most expensive. So, if you're looking for great value alongside great capability, we recommend the TRD Off-Road trim level. It comes with the upgraded V6 powertrain and can be had in both extended-cab or crew-cab configurations. It is also available with an impressive suite of comfort features such as heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and an upgraded JBL stereo.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
Driving
7.5The Tacoma's powertrain is its weak point on the road due to an overly shifty transmission. But the truck makes the right moves for an outdoorsy 4x4 that does not care whether the road is paved or not. Brake modulation could be better on-road. In the unpaved realm, the Tacoma stands out.
Comfort
7.5This Tacoma rides smoother and has better noise isolation than the previous model, and it excels compared to the competition, too. The seats are comfortable, but the seating position is unusual in order to maximize ground clearance. It's more of an entry issue, though, than a comfort one.
Interior
7.0The attractive interior is also nicely laid out, with easily understood and effective controls. There's plenty of space up front, though headroom isn't top-hat worthy. The most significant shortcomings are the relatively tall step-up to get into the cabin and the odd driving position.
Utility
7.5The Tacoma's bed is a model of usefulness. Its relatively low and short sides make for an easier reach than the Colorado, and its numerous bed accessories are available across many trims. Cabin storage is decent in variety, though none of the nooks are particularly large.
Technology
7.0The Tacoma is a mixed bag when it comes to tech features. It's great when it comes to active safety gear because it's all standard. But audio-related tech is another ballgame — one that Toyota is losing. The Tacoma's approach to smartphones and smartphone integration is simply way out of touch.
