I am going to approach this review differently. This is the third Tacoma for me. I loved all of them!! I purchased the 4cyl in all 3 beginning in 2005. Dependability was my most important choice. 381,000 miles on the 2005; 225,000 miles on the 2013 and now I own a 2023. The best was the 2005. Literally, I never had to replace anything:transmission, alternator, etc. And even the AC was working perfectly!!!! Most of the reviews here are V6, 4WD. I Use my Tacoma for light duty, plywood, light materials and in that regard my trucks have NEVER failed me left me stranded. However, the V6 offroad is a bit different in comparison. My main objective is reliability. I always service the vehicle every 5000 miles and that's what's the difference for what I expect. Offloading is a different horse.

From the moment I test drove the Tacoma I was sold .it's so quiet / smooth / and very comfortable . I drive normal so I get a consistent 24-27 mpg . I chose the basics because all I need is a quality drive train and the Tacoma delivers it less all the bells and whistles I don't care for. reminds me of my once Dodge Dakota 5.2l that I put 289k on and it's still on the road / different owner with nearly 400 k on it . at 68 I switched to Toyota and i'm loving it .

Almost at 5,000km on my 2023 SR5 Trail Edition and love it so far. If you want a big, luxurious, plush road hog of a truck, the Tacoma isn't for you. While Toyota has done a great job of ironing out many of the wrinkles, the Tacoma still has an unmistakable rawness baked into its DNA, and that is exactly what makes it incredibly endearing to its many fans. It makes no apologies because it doesn't need to. Its more modest power output is because Toyota understands the impact that strength-energy curves have on durability. It feels 'underpowered' because the transmission is programmed for economy, which is also why it 'hunts' at times, but use ECT or S-mode and let it rev and it isn’t exactly a slouch. The transmission programming and power-band definitely make for a different driving experience, however I am not looking for sports car performance in a mid-sized truck and I have to accept that Toyota engineers probably know a little more than I do about these kinds of things. Some slight adjustments to my driving style and it works great. When measured against a more advanced set of performance metrics than outright luxury and/or marketing nonsense like horsepower ratings and 0-60 times, the Tacoma is somewhat genius in its simplicity. I used to own a 2006 4Runner that was an amazing all-around vehicle, but the driving dynamics bug got to me and I went back to BMW, getting an incredibly powerful modified X5 diesel, but at the end of the day it was simply too needy from a maintenance and repair standpoint and I couldn’t wait to get back into a Toyota truck. I found that the SR5 Trail Edition best reflects the essence of a Toyota truck, equipped in a manner that lends it a more adventurous prowess not found in the base SR5, but without the gadgets and gimmickry of the TRD models. It has everything I want and need from the factory, with none of things that I don’t. Cloth interior, non-LED lights, no electronic brake-booster trickery and void of obnoxious decals/branding. Timeless good looks. It is compact, so it is easy to maneuver and never a burden on city streets and in parking lots – it also fits in my garage, which was important to me. Many would consider the cabin to be tight, but for two of us and a dog it is comfortable without being too much. There is no denying the BOF construction with leaf springs/live axle, however ride quality is impressive overall and it surfs the infrastructural decay of the city streets with ease whenever we have to venture into the closest metropolis – something it does without a single squeak or rattle from the vehicle. This thing is well built. The Tacoma certainly isn’t for everyone, but for those that value the virtues of a simple old-school truck, I don’t think it can be beat. And the Gen 3 Tacoma may be the last of its kind – as amazing as the Gen 4 appears to be, it is definitely taking the Tacoma into a modern new world, which is why I decided to jump on a 2023 – it is both the perfect blend of new and old, and in its most refined state being at the end of its lifecycle. Do recommend – if you appreciate nostalgia and durability, there is no other.
Great truck , had for 2600 miles. No complaints

Great ride. Power. Comfort (not easy for short passenger to get in ; put some nerf bars on; same short person says they wish the front passenger seat a little longer on the thighs ). Mpg has been in the predicted range. Very capable on rugged logging roads Shifting is fine and not the gear hunting some report Ample inside storage , bins under and behind the rear seats Is a wireless charger works but I put items in there instead Road noise not bad (not silent like a luxury car) Toyota connect service works well. Unlock. Lock. Remote start. Note the remote start can be done via app or the fob with a lock lock , lock hold. Not something I’d use much but nice to have I think the 3rd generation is done quite well. I had a base 2011 4x4 4 cyl regular cab from 2010 to 2015. It had zero problems and so far expect the the same for my 2023 trd off-road.

Toyota paint sucks

Purchased new in April 2023. Shortly after my purchase while washing my new Toyota I noticed what appeared to be trash in the paint on the passenger door. Decided to take a closer look at the paint and noticed almost my entire Toyota has more than 20 of these bad places in the paint. Looks to me like it has been repainted and was a terrible job. Contacted Hoover Toyota in Hoover Alabama where I purchased. And have been told by their preferred collision center it will need to be completely repainted. Have spoken with Southeast Toyota and was told they are sorry and they would give me $1500 but I was stuck with the truck. This sucks!!!
