Look out!!!! mice eat the factory wiring harness. Mine was chewed on and it cost almost $4000 to replace it!!! many other Toyotas have this same problem the service center told me actually causing 2 to 3 occurances, ending up causing totalling the toyota. So now i have bait stations in my driveway and i have to spray peppermint into the engine compartment. Totally ridiculous. Transmission...My wife won't drive it anymore because she thinks the truck is going to stall due to the transmission. This is my 5th Toyota Tacoma I traded in my 6 speed 2017 double cab sr5 for my 2020 double cab off road Big mistake to leave the 6 speed manual trans for a total junk or automatic transmission THIS TRANSMISSION IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL I wouldn't have traded in my last Tacoma knowing just how bad this is. You need to be a lead foot to get anything out of this THE TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY GOES INTO LOW RPM NEUTRAL LIKE STATE JUST TERRIBLE

We bought our 2020 Toyota Tacoma Off Road brand new. We have had no issues rather than the fuel pump recall which was replaced. Other than that the truck has been rock solid! Ours is a 6 speed manual with the 3.5 liter V6 engine, which I absolutely love. With the manual, the acceleration in running through the gears is more than ample. It is smooth and easy to run through the gears. We have the 4.11 gear ratio. In traffic, I can crawl in first gear even as low as 2 mph without stalling. The seats are fairly comfortable considering it's a truck. On the highways we get around 22 mpg and around town about 18.5 mpg. I do use the tachometer to minimize the rpms in selecting the gear. The exterior has held up very well, but I do wax the truck both in the fall before winter and again in early summer. The stock Goodyear tires have worn well and is acceptable in snow and mild off road trails. If you are looking for a tough mid-size truck, I would recommend trying a Tacoma. If you also like a manual, I would also recommend trying one with a manual (very rare these days). Now four years after our purchase, we are still very happy with the truck! No issues. We change the oil and rotate the tires every 5,000 miles or six months whatever first. The manual transmission works very well and smooth shifting through the gears. Excellent mileage. We get around. 21 in town overall with about 23 mpg on the highway, driving conservatively.

It’s a beautiful truck loaded with features and rides amazing, as long as it’s not broken down. Bought mine in May 2020 and has been in the shop four times in less than 90 days to try and fix stalling Issues related to low fuel pressure. Toyota has been providing feee tow service and rentals, but after four trips and over thirty (yes, thirty) days in the shop you have to ask yourself if this something you really want to trust and own for the long term. The truck has been registering trouble codes, but apparently even those can’t seem to help narrow down the problem. This is just my opinion, but the truck is so full of technology that repairs appear out of reach of anyone-including Toyota itself. Update 2/11/21 - after replacing high pressure and low pressure fuel pumps and many unplanned dealer visits with lots of driving Toyota Camry loaners, the problem appears to be fixed. Update 2/14/25. Owned the truck nearly 5 years and 50,000 miles now and no issues since they fixed the loose wire on the fuel pump.

Purchased my new 2020 Toyota Tacoma in November 2019. It now has 1444 miles on it. I had a 2016 Tacoma SR and prior to that a 2008 Tacoma work truck. This new Tacoma SR5 is a definite upgrade. My wife and I really enjoy driving it and have had no repair or blemish issues. The power drivers seat was a necessary upgrade. I am 5'9 and my wife 5'2. We feel that the cabin is comfortable. We have read that large people might feel crowded? Also, definitely purchase the V-6 engine. The added power is nice and the fuel MPG seems about the same as the 4 cylinder I had in the 2016. I also recommend the double cab over the access cab. It's still a little tight back there but you can put a couple adults back there in a pinch. The access cab is good for groceries or a kid .The double cab has storage under the seats. I'm not a big electronics guy but we have figured everything out. Check out the offerings. They are pretty comprehensive. I did not opt for the navigation option. The Toyota Safety sense is a great idea. The blind spot and the rear warning is an option on the upper models but should be a standard part of Safety Sense as it is on the "Eye Sight" package on the Wife's Subaru. The power rear window and auto dimming mirror with compass was a nice surprise. I also enjoy the dark alloy wheels that came on my model. Over all the truck is tight and the finish bright. We think it steers and rides nicely. We would purchase it again. We live in Hickory, N.C. An added plug for Dave Edwards Toyota in Spartanburg , S.C. They were very nice to work with and we paid a reasonable price.

2020 TRD Off Road 3.5 V6 Anyone who says this engine is slow or sluggish doesn't know how to drive. When you apply firm increasing pressure on the gas at rational increments and let the transmission do its job, it will catapult you to 60mph quite smoothly and rapidly. Pressing the ECT power button gives you an extra boost that will move you up that hill and to the front of the pack. For those that must stomp their boot to the floor at every take-off, stick to your old Ford - this truck is too evolved for you to relate to. After a series of full size American trucks, I was ready to downsize for my retirement vehicle. Happily, this one can replace both my Ram and my Patriot as an all-in-one daily ride. My first 2k miles has given me nothing but joy. I have test driven the Tacoma every year of the last 5 waiting for them to get it right. They finally have. Living on the Central Oregon Coast can bring the unexpected. With this rig I am ready.
