2017 Toyota Tacoma

noise

Exhaust and interior noise prohibits use of voice command feature.

but no matter it just sounds like noisy lifters.

Rode smooth and didnt have any road noise.

Interior fit is poor, several noises and rattles.

Road noise-wind noise is not acceptable - chevy/Honda is better.

*   Excessive wind noice at highway speeds. *.

You go from park to drive and it would make this awful grinding noise.

but not hear the wind noise like the side windows.

transmission

The reviews I have read about bad transmissions is not true with my experience.

Just two nitpicky gripes- the seats need more thigh support (I'm 5'-10") and the automatic transmission searches for gears on downshifts with brief pauses & mild hesitation.

Twice the transmission has attempted to cause a spin out.

Now the back window has started to leak like the last truck, it's got 30k miles and the transmission skips and jumps.

but the transmission shifts way too often which forced me to trade in.

Upon picking it up for the rear end problem, the transmission decided it no longer needed to shift past 4th gear into either overdrive gear at 14,110 miles.

The worse is the clunking sound it makes when down shifting to 1st gear.

The issue I have with this truck is the transmission programming to squeeze out that extra mpg.

Poor engine and transmission match - they should have went with v8 and 6 speeds vs smaller engine and more gears - now it is gear hunting and mpg is bad.

windshield

Also, the windshield is so short, that with the placement of the rearview mirror I cannot see cars to the right of me at a four way stop.

The seats are too high for front passengers the glare of the sun coming off the front hood the Heating and Cooling gauges hard to see steering wheel doesn't adjust far enough back windshield extends to high up sun glare

The first time it rained I attempted to turn on the intermittent windshield wipers and about broke off the lever, it DOES NOT HAVE intermittent wipers unlike the last 3 Toyota's I owned.

back-up mirrors are too big--- poor visiblity when pulling out into intercetion--very dangerous-- also windshield  has poor vision in corners blocked out by upholstery.

The 2017 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck is made by Toyota

The Tacoma satisfied most of my needs, and is like new.

My Tacoma Sport double cab has been the best car or truck I've ever owned.

These Tacoma’s are way overpriced pieces of ****.

I am impressed with the Tacoma's drivablility and performance both on and off the road.

I never had any problems with the transmission trying to find the right gear as I've read about with some Tacomas.

I upgraded recently to a newer Tacoma and am very glad I did.

Tacoma exceeds my expectations in a vehicle and if I could buy another I would.

engine

Amazing that the 6 cylinder gets as good or better mileage as my old 4.

I love how it works in all weather conditions and the power of this four-cylinder engine, power and low consumption, ideal for my lifestyle as I work away from my home driving about 66 miles a day and gas consumption is ideal.

The gas mileage wasn?t that great for the size of the truck?s engine and totally gutless.

The Tacoma still is has loud engine noise when you accelerate to enter a busy highway.

Excellent choices of engine, cab & tranny.

V-6 engine seems underpowered and has to strain and downshift to accelerate.

Interesting that my 2013 Rav4 (4 cylinder) has 10 times the pep & power.

ride

but it rides so well with and without heavy loads that I can’t complain.

Great ride, great gas mileage. Comfortable.

This one rides smooth and has the inside space that I like.

This truck exceeded my expectations as far as legroom, creature comforts, ride and stability.

The ride is excellent, with a stiff suspension that feels like a truck, not softly sprung like the Ridgeline or Colorado/Canyon (I test-drove before my purchase).

Love the truck, it's features, ride and roominess.

The ride is smooth and quiet,  The inside is stylish, everybody comments on it.

comfortable

It's comfortable, powerful, reliable, roomy, and versatile.

Great off-road, comfy on street, good fuel mileage and can haul all the extra toys and gear.

The seats are comfortable although there’s not a lot of legroom in the back

My Tacoma 2017 is much more than I expected, 48000 miles, it feels like new, considering that my other car is a Corolla 2018 zero miles, feels the Tacoma with the same level of comfort and manageability.

Overall, this truck strikes a good balance between utility and comfort.

While the interior is not necessarily top of the line, it is very comfortable and suits my needs.

reliable

Everything I was looking for in a truck dependable good gas mileage plenty of power great in the snow and ice and pulls my trailer and sxs without any problem

Its a good looking car and very reliable.

This truck met all of my needs, it is safe, dependable, efficient and can handle any job.

The truck has great exterior styling, is reliable, runs great and the gas mileage is between 18 and 25 mpg.

This truck is reliable, sporty, very efficient and the technology and safety upgrades are outstanding.

Very reliable and goes anywhere on my farm and on the highway.

It's reliable and looks pretty darn smart too.

2018 Toyota Tacoma

I don't  notice any transmission shifting issues or any stiff driving that some owners complain about.

The worst being the automatic 6 speed transmission.

Gas milage on average 22.5 MPG if they would make it an 8 speed transmission gas mileage would increase.

Transmission can never decide what gear it wants to be in and that  usually takes place on the highway.

Shift points are set at low speeds and it has to shift down on the slighest uphill grade to maintain speed.

When I took it in, they applied a software update to the transmission.

The transmission calibration does not help with this issue.

The dash had numerous rattles when freezing.

Really hard down shifts when not even needed, it would slip when accelerating and at steady speeds, at about 1700 rpm in 5th gear there is a roar and vibration that only clears up when it shifts into 6th.

Road noise is markedly quieter in the Tacoma, even with the moonroof option.

brake

Examples include, timing cover leaks, 3rd brake light leaks, rear diff noise.

The brakes are also too sensitive when coming to a stop.

My only complaint is drum brakes in the rear instead of disc.

warranty

Great, never going back to Ford , Toyota is too reliable, don’t know why I waited this long, as soon as Ford warranty was up , nothing

Toyota claims it is a "wear" issue and won't honour the warranty.

The A/C system is so poorly designed that there's a TSB to add another cooling fan.

The fan control was beside the 4wheel  drive knob and you had to look down to make sure you were not turning on the 4 wheel drive.

button is right next to the heater so you accidentally want to turn it all the time also when you try to turn down the volume you accidentally will dial the phone the screen is hard to read during the day overall I'd give it four and a half stars out of 5

Excellent truck, Tacoma's are great for everyday use and great in snow.

I really didn't consider anything else because nothing else in it's class compares to the Tacoma.

The Toyota Tacoma is one of the best trucks I have ever owned.

The 4 cylinder should only be in the lower based standard tacoma with just two seats.

This 4-cylinder Tacoma is big Faillure in all shape and form.

I’ll hold on 1 more year and see what develops on the Tacoma as far as issues go.

but the Tacoma beats the ford in every aspect, I’m very happy with the truck , and would buy another toyota

Reliable great looking holds it value peace of mind  I had a 2000 Tacoma  prerunner  my favorite  vehicle  and the 2018 is just as good  or better

My previous Tacoma still runs like a champ, so I was more than happy to get another one.

The Tacoma is very appealing to every age for all truck lovers.

but the engine is just wrong for this truck.

Planning on keeping this truck till the engine blows

The 2018 Tacoma is a fun truck the vehicle runs well and has plenty of power with the 3.5L engine.

This truck has met all of my primary needs, including towing, decent gas mileage, with a v-6 engine, four wheel drive, power windows, and navigation system.

I purchased the Tacoma SR and it has the 4 cylinder engine.

This truck has the best safety technology and comfort.

I LOVE MY TOYOTAS, WILL NOT BUY AMERICAN AGAIN, VERY RELIABLE, COMFORTABLE TOO.

But if you don’t care about driving dynamics on road, and don’t need too many creature comforts, it’s a solid truck and a fantastic off roader.

This Tacoma is very reliable and surprisingly comfortable.

I would not own any other new truck or car for appearance and comfort.

The car Toyota is a very comfortable and well sized car for a regular size family.

Seats could be more comfortable as well, back seat is for short people short distance as well.

Comfort is great and durability is unbeatable.

Beautiful, comfortable, easy steering, nice handling, great all around.

feature

At 5’10 it has plenty of room, I like the long bed, and 4x4 gives me options to get off the pavement.

From all the great safety features to the power moon roof & sliding rear window, heated seats, hard tonneau cover w/locking tailgate & much more, I love this truck & would highly recommend it.

Safety features cause more problems than help.

Love some of the new standard features such as the navigation system, new safety features that didn't exist in 2005.

There were so many upgrades on the interior and other upgrades and features in my new 2018 Tacoma over my 2014 Tacoma, making it the best new Tacoma ever!

PLENTY OF SAFETY FEATURES AND MORE COMFORT.

This truck transportaion and feature wise is awesome and would easily fall under “a good buy”.

Dirt and gravel roads sometimes and this 2018 SR5 was loaded with many standard features you pay extra for with other manufacturers midsize trucks.

The wireless charger for Iphone is awesome feature for the truck.

This truck rides better than my 2018 F150 2wd eco boost.

The ride is very smooth, although I do agree that the seats do become very hard on longer drives & the Entune radio tethering  errors can be frustrating,

It’s got a high ride height, making it good for off roading.

Love the truck just not enough room I purchased it new the truck rides great no issues I drive it every day
It’s has navigation Bluetooth collision sensors ect

It rides smoothly and has excellent power and acceleration.

The ride is nice and it handles nice on the road.

Either way, the ride is very smooth for me.

This is a fun little truck to drive and ride.

I have a 100 mi commute daily and the Tacoma runs and rides great.

2021 Toyota Tacoma

lights

The automatic high beams could also be “smarter”, as it’s way too sensitive with traffic signs and people think I’m flashing them.

but it does not disappoint when it comes to getting around that slow driver in the right most lane, or speeding up to catch the dark orange stop light.

The bones are good, it will last a long time and you can not beat the resale value or after market support for Tacoma in the midsize segment.

LOVE IT GREAT TRUCK FOR THE HIGHWAY 
TOOK MY FIRST DEER WITH THE NEW TACOMA 
BLACK ON BLACK

Have had Tacoma's as primary vehicles for 20+ years.

The FJ40 is now too old to be "the vehicle to take across the USA after a nuclear war" and it has been replaced by the Tacoma.

I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRDpro 4x4 and the truck looks nice so I decided to buy it to enjoy some weekend off-roading which is something I have always enjoyed to do, I purchased the truck because Toyotas are known to be reliable tough trucks,

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck is made by Toyota

In 2011 I had a Tacoma Access Cab and absolutely loved it!

But if it’s like the 2013 Tacoma I traded it should be a great truck.

The Tacoma is still a truck not a glorified SUV or car.

Toyota has made a great truck in the Tacoma

The engine has plenty of power if anything you want to do, I drove it on the freeway for over an hour 85 miles an hour to keep up with traffic and had no problems.

I recommend the 6 cylinder over the 4, and the crew cab over the access cab.

Custom made Elka suspension gave the truck a balanced and smooth highway ride with better on center feel and comfort both on highway and off and is now a pleasure to drive on long road trips.

Meets all my needs, comfortable, the audio, wireless charging and Car play are my favorite.

It's a comfortable ride and has plenty of room.

The let downs are in the ride and comfort areas.

The Toyota Tacoma was a comfortable and this truck was just what we are looking for.

Absolutely love this truck comfortable and fun to own!

It's comfortable enough to take on long trips, the interiors is nice enough that you're not afraid to let folks look inside your truck and it gets you through the woods (off-road) to where you need to be.

Style comfort power and a perfect size for what I need.

Overall great truck descent fuel mileage and very comfortable and gives an awesome ride down the road.

If you want a quite, floating, bouncy ride, get a Big SUV for 85k.

The audio is excellent and overall a nice ride.

Truck meets all my expectations rides well and have a navigation system that is voice activated, plenty of room in truck  I am happy with my purchase

The truck is a pleasure to drive, plenty of power, smooth ride and very quiet.

Lots of fun to drive and tons of customization features.

Tacoma Off Road 4×4 is great all around fun vehicle.

It’s fun going through everything to see what it can really do.

I have the TRD OFF ROAD trim with 4wd and feel comfortable knowing that my truck has the features and the power to get me out of any situation and gives me opportunity to have fun in.

It is dependable, fun and perfect for my life style.

I really enjoy having the car it is easy to drive and I would recommend it to my friends.

2019 Toyota Tacoma

Overall I’m a bit disappointed with the performance from the engine, constant up shifting and down shifting from the transmission, and the road noise inside the cabin of the truck.

told normal by dealership many times   , only way to make better is to run with etc (electronic transmission control )button  on ,yes we drove the ford & Chevy didn't shift as bad as this.

It skips, transmission doesn't shift like it's supposed to, the motor sounds like it's about to fall apart.

The truck shifts into fifth gear before I get to 40 MPH which is really frustrating.

A problem you've never seen before and need a week to diagnose or an intentional transmission design.

but I didn't detect too much hunting; perhaps I'd read so many bad reports about the transmission but the motor and transmission seemed to work well together and the truck accelerated fine in my opinion -- not effortlessly but with reasonable alacrity.

At 800 miles started shuddering when shifting from 4th. 5th.

but the 6 speed trans  doesn’t seem to pair up good with engine!

has vibration issues and no get up and go for a v6 unlike my last 2 v6 tacomas.

My new truck has odd squeaks and sounds a new truck shouldn’t have, not ones that cost this much anyhow!

Disappointed, truck has more rattles than my 03 Sierra had with 270,000 miles!

They need to check poor performance shakes when accelerating.

The truck is also to big for me and the interior noise is loud seems like it's coming for rear tires.

but what ever engineers thought putting that lousy engine in a 4x4 is an idiot 
Way under powered
Horrible gas mileage 
Engine vibration when in a bind at around 40 to 45
Toyota you failed 
If truck owners wanted a Prius we would have bought one

acceleration

Rims too small should be at least 18” 
Engine acceleration weak, need more power
Compared to the other trucks in its class the engine does not seem as powerful

Love my truck only issue I have is sometimes feels it lacks acceleration on the highway,

Initial acceleration is a little doggy (slow to respond)

Snappy acceleration, with some minor 6 speed transmission hunting while navigating minor grades and strong head winds.

speed

turn on and off by itself, we live out in the sticks driving along no other light, Constance speed light will drop to low beam then high.

Unknown shudder/vibration at low speed (20-25 mph).

I got the 4 cylinder engine and the fuel economy is no different from the V6 engines and there is not much power when you need to travel at high speeds.

fold

The only thing about this truck that is not completely satisfying  (other than gas mileage, lol) is that the middle of the back seat does not fold down into an arm rest/cup holder.

Backseat should have design better without to remove rest head everytime when i have to do full fold in for me to put stuff on hard surface above of fold seat.

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck is made by Toyota

This would be a perfect truck for anyone looking for a new Tacoma as it has just 2,043 miles, and looks and drives like new!

Still, I’m happy with the utility and usefulness of the Tacoma

Would recommend the Tacoma as a work truck or pleasure vehicle.

I especially like the Tacomas because of the high ground clearance and the large tires.

I think Toyota tacomas are really good trucks and looks nice and does everything I need.

I’ve installed 4:88 gears and Tuned the the vehicle which helped considerably, yet I’m constantly wanting more power than the engine can provide.

Probably the most reliable engine on the market.

The motor was smoother than I was expecting and the transmission was very smooth.

It also down shifts hard, like engine braking from 25MPH to a full stop.
