Used 2020 Toyota Tacoma Consumer Reviews
Double cab all the way
Love the 2020 TRD off road, couldnt be happier. Getting out is easy and comfortable contrary to what Edmunds says. Make sure to get the Sport model if you want the smoothest road driving experience. That LSD is super capable for 99.9% of drivers.

good utility
The bad; transmission as most others have commented on. I find it tolerable and with some modifications in how you drive you can mitigate some of the gear hunting. I can see how it is a deal breaker for some. The non-JBL radio is pathetic. Easy to switch speakers, which helps some. I have an interior rattle at 10K miles that I can't isolate thus far. Paint is breaking down on one area on the roof. I think this was bird-poo related. The good; easy to drive. does great on light snow and driving in rain. weekend hauling of stuff+++. cheap to maintain. parking is easy vs driving a monster truck. I would buy again. For me, the truck would be perfect with a battery powertrain. Not holding my breath however. Perhaps with the next revision it will at least get a smooth transmission. IF you are on the fence about purchasing, my advice would be to test drive it and make sure that you fit ok in the cockpit and that the auto-transmission is not a deal breaker for you. update; Kdmax pro tune for $400 will fix the transmission shifting issues. Sad that Toyota could not do this for their customers, but it makes for a much better drive. update 2: -now 5 yrs in. 38K miles. No major issues. solid truck. more minor rattles in the interior as time goes by. push the start button - it starts . change the oil regularly. Reiterate do the kdmax tune (or similar) to make the transmission thing a non-issue. best $400 I spent on the truck aftermarket. Recommend and even more so now that the new truck is a 4 cylinder turbo.

Toyota’s Best
Just purchased a 2020 Toyota Tacoma Limited 4X4. This is my 4th Tacoma but my 1st Limited and my 1st 4X4. This is the best Tacoma yet. I am impressed with everything about it. It is a beautiful truck that is also extremely functional and reliable and has all of the latest safety features and creature comforts. It rides and drives well and is very comfortable for a mid sized truck. I made an excellent choice and I am very pleased with my Tacoma. I traded this vehicle in for a Toyota 4Runner and no longer own it.

2020 TRD pro
Plastic melts Toyota said not to park next to windows and refuse to fix it (900 miles). Still running drum brakes in the rear, Toyota says to “keep dirt and debris out” well they suck and have no consistency. The 6 speed is really a 4 speed with 5/6 being over drive. 75mph down a interstate and god help you if you have a headwind or the slightest hill, you will not get over 16mpg. The transmission still hunts gears even after Toyota said they fixed it for the 2020 models. For 50k you get a lower than estimate mpg, lack of power, constant shifting (4-5k rpms on a hill), weak inconsistent braking, no remote start, no heated mirrors for winter, all the cameras are very low resolution and almost unusable in low light or if light is behind you. The bed is plastic a rubber mat is a must. Did I say it melts!? Bottom line is if you need a off-road vehicle get a jeep or new bronco, if you need a truck, well almost all full size trucks get same or better mpgs more room more power more towing more hauling. The Tacoma is not a good truck. Toyota has failed to fix the problems starting with the 2016s, failed to keep up with the rest of the automotive industry. The are riding on the old trucks reliability. Hell you can get a 2019-2020 ram 2500 for nearly the same price and actually have a legit truck that gets better fuel mileage down the highway.

New Tacoma
I got the most basic model Tacoma offers but it still has plenty of bells and whistles. Solidly built and similar to my 2010 Tacoma. My son is getting my 2010 Tacoma with 140K miles on it. I expect he will be driving it for several more years. Update, 30K miles on the Tacoma now, no issues. My son is still driving the 2010.
