2024 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Worth the wait
Started looking 8-9 months ago and researched the Frontier, Canyon and Colorado. Nothing against them but the Tacoma is better in my opinion. TRD Sport 2wd with upgrade package. Power seats and lumbar, heated seats and steering wheel, giant 14 inch center console screen, trailer tow package, power rear window, running bar, etc. Rambling comments, seats are comfy enough, I'm 6 foot and have about 2 inches clearance from the roof, audio is great, dash speaker pops out if needed. There is a speaker and microphone above you in the roof for calls, crystal clear. Plenty of cubbies. Back seat is tight but expected. Storage underneath. Power outlets, all kids, everywhere. No USB so pop for the USB/C/A cord package. Tailgate has an assist up and down. Feels bigger than it is. Visibility is limited, like a Tundra so I dropped the rear headrests. Came with lane departure, adaptive cruise, auto breaking (I disabled it, it freaks out too early when your behind someone, rear cross traffic. Drives smooth and quiet-ish. Rear springs are an improvement. Steering is effortless. Power is steady and measured but the turbo kicks in when needed. My commute is 33 miles highway and so far I get between 22-24 MPG, better than the Ram I had. Fit and finish are as expected, good. Underground color with gray/black interior. Wasn't sold on the white dash accents but it fits. Complaints, for lack of a better word, auto start/stop, don't care for it since it comes on every time you stop. Turn it off and don't push the brake hard and it won't come on automatically, dash alert will tell you. Back seat, again, is tight, but you know that if your considering getting one. Dealer had about 12-15 on the lot and negotiated a bit, at least I felt that way, haha..., anyway, just glad I waited until they were available. .
Fast but slow
Bought a 6" bed Tacoma SR-5 three weeks ago. Love the truck. Has some get up and go. However, when the speedometer reads 87MPH I am actually only going 80 MPH. I took it in to get it calibrated and they can't adjust it. They said up to 10% off is acceptable. I am not very happy about that.

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.

My first Taco and I like it
Lets be honest, like any new launch there will be problems. Toyota will as before taken care of any issues as in the early transmissions as well as the V6 in the Tund. Toyota replaced them asap. The only problem I am having is, maybe at my age of 67 is getting the infor-system to do what I want it to do yet I understand all car companies are going to these hi tech style systems. As of the engine, it has lots of power and get up and go and I understand Toyota has been putting turbos in trucks for over 40 years which make me feel better, The tranny shifts smooth and I get about 20mpg on the interstate doing 85mph. I'm good with that. I got the TRD Sport Premium package with the 360 camera and I love it.
