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.

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.

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.

Family has a 2008 Ridgeline, an 2017 Outback, a 2017 Odyssey, a 2020 Accord, a 2008 Lexus ES 350 The cab of the Tacoma is surprisingly quite, even on noisy highway's, it's the 2nd quietest car we own, almost as quite as the Lexus. Handling is great, the stereo is great, back seats are big cramped. It's a really good truck, and if you need a mid-size truck then you should buy one. I have a Ridgeline, and it's really great car with a bed, and for 90% of the public it's just what they need, but if you really need a truck, then you should get a Tacoma. I have 2 complaints which is why the truck only gets 4 stars. 1 - The fact that Toyota has not included the full suite of driver safety features. It's 2020 and to not have adaptive cruise control that will bring a vehicle to a full stop is unacceptable. 2 - Gas mileage, really Toyota? With all your technology, and I'm cruising down the highway at 70 and I look at the ECO screen and it say's I'm getting 12MPG. 12? My 1997 Ford Expedition with a 5.4L V8 got better gas mileage.

I’m 6’1” 240lbs and find the cab hard to get into And just plain uncomfortable. It appears to be designed for shorter folks as nothing is right at the hand. The ride on my off-road edition is bouncy and rough on road but does well off road. The steering is excessively heavy until about 1/4 turn of the wheel when it lightens up making it feel like iced roads. Pretty unnerving. Power is sad. Honestly I think the hybrid Rav 4 could walk away from it easily. It cannot pull hills wells and require downshifting one or two gears with no payload. Gas mileage is the same as my full sized Ram1500. Teens in mixed driving. The Taco gets better mpg when running at 2k rpm’s with the 6 speed manual. The mid grade stereo is unimpressive with muddy bass and midrange. The nav doesn’t work as well as my phone, Ram or Cadillac Nav systems. But it does look nice and the resale is ridiculous!

Needs More Torque

The first thing I noticed about my 2020 Tacoma V6 (3.5L) 4x4 is that it lacks low end torque. The truck struggles accelerating uphill, especially up steep mountain roads and often downshifts into 4th gear, or even down to 3rd gear. I’ve installed 4:88 gears and Tuned the the vehicle which helped considerably, yet I’m constantly wanting more power than the engine can provide. Overall I’m a bit disappointed with the performance from the engine, constant up shifting and down shifting from the transmission, and the road noise inside the cabin of the truck. Toyota definitely missed the mark on this one!

The last Truck I owned before this year was a 1986 long box Toyota with a 5 sp manual. As a young man back then I drove it hard, it didn't break, I traded it in 3 years later, never having changed the brakes when it passed 60,000 miles, and I hauled lots of stuff with that truck. This year i bought a 2020 TRD off road double cab 4x4. My Wife and I tried the Honda Ridgeline, it road like a SUV, it was nice, comfortable, but the information/radio display was horrible, not even a knob to control the volume. I did not feel safe in it, the engine made lots of noise on acceleration but did not seem to accelerate that fast. Because it is a SUV frame, there is some softness to it. Then we tested the Tacoma TRD off road double cab and we ended up purchasing it. The Tacoma feels substantial, it eats up potholes with out much fuss. It drives the crappy roads with confidence. The lights are great, the visibility great, the bed in the back is composite so it can never rust, doesn't need a liner, and looks like it could be replaced if needed to be. Adjustable tie downs are standard. This model has a rear locker and multi terrain select with crawl control. The truck come with Toyota safety sense features, like lane departure warning, cruise control with radar pacing and braking, pedestrian detection and other features. Another vehicle we thought about was the Ford Ranger, faster and can pull more weight than the Tacoma, but I am not a fan of turbocharged engines in a domestic Ford product. Good old naturally aspirated V6 will last a long time, many Tacoma's with the 4.0 V6 and now the 3.5 V6 on the road still today. How will the Ranger's turbo 4 and 10 speed transmission be down the road ? Resale value ? I don't know, I will stay with the tried and true Tacoma. Six months later, we still enjoy jumping into the Taco, and driving around in it.

We loved our 2017 Tacoma. With interest rates so low and our trade value so high, we couldn't help trading in for a new 2020 Tacoma. We basically got the same truck. Same color, same trim. A few upgrades are now standard on the 2020, which was just bonus for us. Got a great deal, a new truck, and significantly reduced our monthly payment. What's not to like?

So the bad, it’s slow,really slow.you have to push the gas all the way down so it can even go with the v-6.the driver seating sucks and it’s even worse for the gas pedal and breaking.interior good not great.I wish they can lift it another 3inches from the factory cause when a suv is as big as my truck it’s to damn short.the good. It tows really good.I towed a full size U-Haul trailer across the country and it did wonderful.it looks great which is the reason why I got it.
