Toyota Tacoma Change Vehicle

“A bit noisy, acceleration is uneven, steering is still stiff.”

“Its a prerunner with an extra long bed. Hauls a full yard of soil or mulch or nearly a ton of gravel while riding and handling fine. I get the capacity of a big truck with the size and MPG of a small truck....and I can park it in a normal spot!”

“Very comfortable to ride in. It gives you a great view of the road due to its height. The V6 provides good acceleration and acceptable mileage. It's a good looking truck.”

“Only 4 cylinder engine has trouble accelerating from a standing start.”

“The throttle lag programmed to improve mileage drives me crazy. You have to wait for the engine to slow down so that you can shift.”

“LARGER THAN EXPECTEDL SLOW ACCELLORATION”

“Its a bit noisy, road noise.”

“My previous pickup truck was a 1994 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 with the 5.2L V8 and 5 Spd manual transmission. The 5.2L engine has one & a half times the torque of the Tacoma V6, and at a much lower RPM. Torque makes a difference when you need it, especially offroad. The Tacoma also has an automatic transmission, and I have had to learn to use it properly, especially offroad. I do really like the much tighter turning radius of the Tacoma vis-a-vis the Dakota. There are trade-offs with both trucks, b”

“4 cylinder engine is underpowered”

“Slow acceleration is good on gas but Ihave to plaster the accelerator pedal to the floor to ge tit to downshift for rapid acceleration when needed. A 4 or 5 spd transmission instead of a 3 would perform betterI beleive.”

“The six-speed transmission needs some tweaking. First gear is too short. Sixth gear is WAY too short. Sixth should be an overdrive gear that allows me better mileage on the highway. First should be longer to allow me to accelerate from a stop without having to shift just a few seconds after accelerating. Frankly, I don't use first or fifth much. I start in second and skip from fourth to sixth.”

“The engine brake-assist is dangerous on curvy mountainous roads”

“Very clunky steering and it drifts. Rear suspension very bouncy. Engine clatter at morning startup, Very annoying.”

“I love driving this car handles so well”

“My husband got this to commute to his office job which is 5 miles from home, and so he had something for hauling large items from garage sales on the weekend. We had to make the decision quickly, and unfortunately, chose wrong with this gutless Tacoma. He feels like he is going to get squashed on the interstate, because this thing has just sh*tty acceleration with it's tiny 4 cylinder, and surprising they even make one.”

“The truck the noisy and is certainly not a long distance driving vehicle for comfort. I love my truck, but Toyota could improve this area”

“I bought the Tacoma with a tow package. I wanted it to tow my travel trailer which weights about 3700 pounds. I find the Tacoma can manage this towing job, but millage drops to around 11 mpg--depending on the the terrain. I wish the millage were just a little better.”

“climate control and ride are great”

“Very comfortable ride. Much better than expected for a truck.”

“noise”

“It rides very well for a truck”

“The seats could be more comfortable.”

“Seats are too low and can only be adjusted manually and noise level is too high.”

“entering the vehicle is hard for a big person, i have to really duck my head low to get into the truck would love to have a little more leg room.”

“Pretty much dated interior. I last had one in 2007 and they could have twin interiors. Driver seat especially needs to be more comfortable.”

“No power seat,even though this is a limited edition. No power or heated mirrors, came with a noise increasing exhaust, way to loud.”

“This truck truely does ride like a car. The seats are very comfortable and as long as there is not an adult in the back seat there is plenty of legroom for the main passenger.”

“Like many professional reviewers have stated, the seats leave something to be desired, in particular because they sit so low.”

“It is a harsh riding vehicle without good handling.”

“While the seats are comfortable to sit in, the high cushion on the seat edges are difficult to slide over on entering and exiting.”

“Excessive wind noise around doors and windows at highway speeds. There is no excuse for this when our 2003 Camry is much quieter. Also, there is too much road noise independent of the wind noise.”

“A problem area is for 2015 Toyota replaced the outdoor temperature reading with one using digital reading fro a satellite. This is all right if you are in a major city. If you travel from Tucson, Arizona to California, the satellite can't find any source for a temperature until you get to Los Angeles or San Diego. Minor complaint but expected better from Toyota. They have fixed the problem for 2016 in RAV 4.”

“Overall a good truck, truck can get noisy with wind and stock tires are crap on snow.”

“This is a work truck. I love the way the rear seats completely fold down out of the way because I use the area for secure storage for tools etc. Otherwise, I'd need to install a box in the bed, but then, I'd loose capacity to haul bulk materials. Also very comfortable rear seats for passengers when folded back up.”

“It's all good. If dodge still made Dakota, I might have bought that. Price?”

“road noise is too loud, rattle in dash, air conditioner does not get cold enough.”

“The Tacoma "rides like a truck". My wife hates the ride.”

“Compared it to other trucks, most comfortable of all.”

“rough ride, lots of cabin noise”

“Drivers seat is to low, raised rear of seat 3/4 " up helps, seat is hard and uncomfortable on long trips. Due to the outside mirrors it's hard to see out when making turns, would like to have the mirrors moved to the door body like the 2015 Forester.”

“Seats aren't that comfortable.”

“Thought about buying a used one but they have a pretty high resale value.”

“The value of the vehicle stays higher than most.”

“We use it to haul things from our property to the dump and in heavy snow. Its great! USAA gave us a lower insurance cost because of its limited use”

“We love our budget-friendly Base model and knowing that the factory prewired the majority of accessory features, i.e. backup camera and homelink mirror for example, we are able to purchase these accessories as we desire and Plug-n-Play them with no compatibility issues! What a concept by Toyota to make a universal model that owners can taylor to their needs! Thank you Toyota!”

“Toyota Loyalty, Great Value, Best Styling ,Good Resale Value. All around great Truck.”

“The 2005 Tacoma was much much less expensive than the 2015 Tacoma that replaced it.”

“compared to other trucks, it seems like a bargan”

“Expensive”

“I thought that the Tacoma was a good value for the money”

“Dependable.”
