2024 Toyota Tacoma Consumer Reviews

Rides like full size
Great truck and 4cyl with turbo is robust, quick, and drives great on highway with power. I haven't driven off-road yet, but assume it is a beast. Great truck overall and I love it. Some nits, the back seat/cab is small in 4th gen, and the tech packages are expensive, so 8 inch screen is cheap looking but works great with Apple car play.

Perfect truck
This is a perfect size truck for my needs. I can tow something small if I need to, but also small enough to get into just about any parking spot. I don't need anything fancy, but still need a truck from time to time and it fits into my life style.

Transmission Failure at 690 miles!
I bought a new 2024 Tacoma SR due to the excellent reputation of the brand. Unfortunately, at 690 miles, the transmission failed. To my surprise, this is a major problem on some of the 2024s. Google " 2024 Toyota Tacoma problems," and you find that Toyota has issued a TSB on the truck, and there are multiple lawsuits on this defect that are widely known. I learned my lesson on ever buying the first year of a redesigned vehicle. The repair cost: 11,000. The service department was reimbursed 9500 since obviously it was under warranty. I asked Toyota to repurchase the vehicle, and thankfully, they did and were very professional about the whole process, which was amazing. Besides the obvious issue with the transmission... there were some other descepencies that became annoying after driving it for a few months. For example, I came to realize that the gas tank was small, that the back seats were extremely cramped (if you ever plan on someone seating back there), there was not a garage door button, no mirrors in the visors, and no door handle unlocking capability on the driver side. Higher end models probably have these options but the base SR did not. I was shocked at the experience I went through with the transmission failure but pleasantly pleased with how Toyota handled the issue.

*** buyer beware ***
I purchased a new 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 double cab 4x4 long bed Jan 2nd 2025. My first trip was 85 miles to Winston-Salem, NC that weekend and I was using my GPS. I had my cruise set to 70 mph and noticed the GPS speed was 66 mph - 4 mph difference. I also noticed the slower I drove, the more my GPS and speedometer were matching up. Looking at the different Tacoma trim levels, the higher trims come with 265/70r 18" tires - my SR5 came with 245/70r 17" tires. I called the dealership to have my speedometer calibrated but they can no longer do this. The speedo has to be sent to California and this is costly to the dealership. I asked for larger tires (not a larger wheel size, just tires) and my new tires could be used on a trade that needed this sized tires, they refused. I got with Toyota who directed me back to this dealership and to the CRM (customer relations manager). She is very nice but not very helpful. I think in order to streamline production Toyota calibrated all Tacoma's to the larger tire size and didn't care how this impacts buyers of lower trim levels. Along with the speedometer being incrementally off, this is adding miles (that I didn't drive) to my odometer. I opened a case with the BBB for this county, this dealership still refuses to make right. I think when you pay this much for a new vehicle, it should be in perfect working order and this includes the speedometer calibrated to the vehicles actual tire size.
Great Small Truck
This is a great small truck. I was surprised as the acceleration . The interior cabin is extremely nice and the sound system is awesome !!!
