Glad I got the V-6

There were no V-6 Tacoma's in stock just 4cyl. so my salesman let me drive his. I'm really glad He did. The 4cyl seemed unpowered to me. The gas mileage is only 1 or 2 mpg difference. Also the V-6 model came with extra features like a factory installed hitch and wiring connections. So to me it was worth the extra money. Thanks to Mark Doyle my salesman!

So excited, but slightly disappointed

I bought my brand new 2022 Toyota Tacoma in January 2022. I decided to drive, live and be in my new Tacoma for a year before I put in a review, so I can give an honest review. Positives: I love the 4 wheel drive, my rear locker, and all the amazing off road features. When I go off road, I’m confident that I’ll be able to get out of most (maybe ANY) situation that befalls me. I love the safety tech package. BSM, lane departure and the auto high beams makes driving almost thoughtless. The stereo system is great with all the newest tech for syncing your phone and more. Now to what I don’t like: The oh sh$& handle on the passenger side makes zero sense. It’s located in the front on the right hand side of the passenger door. While off roading over rocks or anything bunny, there is no way to adequately hold onto the handle. If you do somehow grab the handle, it puts your arm in an awkward straight front position that will more likely assist in jamming your arm rather than help stabilize you. It is seriously a horribly thought out component for the Off Road trim. Mapping doesn’t come with your Tacoma tech package. Not a huge deal with being able to connect your phone, but with a button that says Map, but no way to install the feature without a trip to the dealership, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I own a 96 Land Crusier, a 99 4Runner, and a 2006 Lexus. This Tacoma feels beyond cheap. It’s been one year and the panels aren’t flush with the vehicle, specifically the driver side panel closest to the floor. I keep the back seats down so I can use the back as a type of trunk. I only have transported groceries, but there are scratch marks on the plastic that should be way more durable for a $45,000 truck. My biggest gripe of the Tacoma are the seats. The drivers seat is fully automatic, but the passenger seat is fully manual. Another way Toyota cheaper out. My drives seat is beyond uncomfortable . As I’ve stated, I’ve owned Toyotas all my life, and I had to get a pillow for the Tacoma. If you plan on any road trips (which you should if you get this type of truck), comfort will be an issue. Overall, as excited as I was for a new Toyota, I’m disappointed in the lack of attention to details that I’ve had in every other Toyota I’ve owned and still own. I don’t see this truck having the longevity of previous Toyotas. I hope to be proven wrong.

Issues to consider

The Edmunds review is not accurate for vehicles being shipped in 2022. There are issues with these trucks that need to be considered. Edmunds failed to point out that these trucks have a terrible throttle lag caused by the new drive by wire technology. That along with the awfully bad shift points in the transmission make this truck miserable to drive. The seating compartment also feels terrible cramped compared to previous models. The resale value is still going to be good. I recommend buying a different vehicle until Toyota fixes the throttle and transmission issues.

LOUD and NOT fun to drive (manual)

I have been dying to own a Tacoma for upwards of 20 years (or whatever they were called before Tacoma). I finally bit the bullet, ordered mine before it was even at the dealership, and drove from Atlanta to Charleston, SC, to buy it. I really wanted to like it, wanted to drive it into the ground, wanted to use it for the next stage of my life in a colder, more mountainous climate away from Georgia when I move next year. But....I couldn't. I've already traded it in after literally 3 months and 5k miles (did get back just about what I paid for it, though, a definite plus with Tacomas). As far as looks goes, I loved it. Rugged TRD Sport 4x4. One of the coolest looking trucks out there. I would only consider a Toyota. The new Frontiers look pretty cool but the backseat is like sitting on an awkward concrete block. And the new Rangers and Colorados, LOL, I don't want to spend my life in the shop. So, moving on from the good part, its appearance..... Now the bad or not so good. It's NOISY and UNDERPOWERED. Only a few cars in my life have been automatics. I've driven mostly manuals, and I've driven so many that I have a good frame of reference for this review. This is the 2nd worst manual I've ever driven (#1 spot goes to the worst car I've ever owned, a manual 2016 Honda HR-V. OMG). Anyway, for a V6 with 270something horsepower and a 6-speed manual, this thing felt like it had no power. In order to get it moving, you had to laaaaaay into the accelerator (and watch the fuel efficiency meter on the touchscreen drop to single digits for a while). I was scared to pull out of my neighborhood at times if cars were anywhere nearby, as I wasn't sure I'd make it. For a truck with this engine, it should feel stronger than this. It felt like I was constantly begging it for more power. A result of this was the LOUDNESS. Even once you got it going up to speed, like 75 on the interstate, it still had very pronounced engine noise up in the cabin. You'd think there'd be some kind of insulation between the cabin and the engine compartment, but it seemed like there was very little. I expect more noise out of a truck, of course, but not this much. On to the interior....the seats, while a little better than the previous gen, are still not very comfortable. There was plenty of room for 5 passengers; they just wouldn't be very comfortable for the trip. Also, the touchscreen. It was fine overall but could often be quite slow to change over to whatever you selected. There were times I'd be yelling, "C'mon", waiting for it to switch to sat radio, bluetooth, whatever. A final note I'd give is about buying it new. There was definitely a break-in period that was awkward. By the time I traded it at 5k miles (for a 2011 4runner, which I love and is super quiet), I think I had broken it in fairly well. But for the first several thousand miles, it was weird. I know all new cars require a little breaking in, but I've never seen that period quite as strange as it was with this Tacoma. All of the loudness and underpowered things I've mentioned above were even more pronounced during the break-in period. I was driving my daughter back to her college one night from a fun day at Cedar Point, and I felt so bad because she couldn't even nap on the ride back because of the noise, awkward shifting, and rough ride. Sooooo, all of this to say, if you want a dependable, cool-looking truck, the Tacoma certainly will fit the bill, but you better be prepared to put up with a vehicle that has all of the above issues. It was simply not the fun, enjoyable experience I'd been dreaming of for upwards of 20 years.

Great Truck - Tech Is A Little Dated

I just bought a new 2022. I have had it for a few months and I love it. It's great as a daily driver and has performed flawlessly in the light off-roading I have done so far. I don't like the infotainment system - it's dated, clunky, and non-intuitive. But I didn't buy this truck for the gadgets. I bought a great-looking, reliable truck that's a highly competent off-roader and I basically couldn't be happier.
