"Just picked up my 2013 Tacoma 4x4 TRD, Off Road, V-6, 6 Speed Manual. Wow, drove it back from dealer, 90 miles through the Smokey Mts. Pulled it self up to 3500 feet. On the On the interstate, drives like a Pro, smooth, strong, responsive. The 6 speed manual is like a sports cars, love it. Live on a ruff dirt road, flipped it into 4H, like a Burro, the 13% grade was like a stroll, for this solid, rugged, sporty and very functional truck. My previous 2006 Tacoma TRD, V-6, 4x4, Access cab, going strong with 105,000 miles. I was very impressed with my dealer in Knoxville, TN, very friendly, relaxed, overall, easy experience, I am looking forward to getting it muddy this weekend. Drives like a pro on the road, and sharp and surefooted on the dirt. I installed the sports shifter kit, very impressed with this option. Love this Truck! My dogs love it too. 5 Stars *****"

"First Tacoma, and may be the only brand I will now own. This is a fine, well trimmed, sporty looking 4WD Sport vehicle. Serves all my purposes and fits into the garage. Buying experience at Big 2 in Gilbert AZ was phenomenal - in and out in about 2 hours working with a lady named Nissa. I had been in the market all week for a Frontier, but once I experienced the Tacoma - no comparison. Highly recommended!"

"Took delivery two days ago, so I can't speak to reliability, but otherwise really happy. The access cab with the suicide doors is fantastic. Highway ride is on par with a car. I'm happy."

"Just recently purchased a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 from Toyota of Charleston. It was by far the best car buying experience ever. Dealt with Robert Lukens.He was straight forward with all my questions. I was given a fair price for my trade in, and purchased the truck at a fair price. Sammy Peek, TOC sales consultant could not have been more helpful, he has even contacted me on how I like my truck. Great bunch of guys. Keep up the great customer service."

"The Tacoma double cab is a great all around vehicle. It affords you the ability to go out with friends, drive to work or out to play hard. The quality of the build is good and reliable. The interior has anice layout, but the double cab feature does lack room in the rear seating. Leg room is a rare commodity. The sliding rear window seems to be a bit useless, because it must be accessed by climbing into the rear seating. If there was a power control for the sliding rear window it might be more convient. An offer of leather or vinyl seating surface would be great for those of use with pets. The fabric seat covering is tough to clean any shed hair. Storage is good in under and behind the rear seats. One thing that would be nice is a way to cover the storage are when you have teh rear seat folded to prevent stored items from falling out of the storage area. Entune audio system, I question the design and quality. It does work, but seems large and bulky. It acts as a large distraction. Sometimes the old ways are the best, but that is a personal choice. The touch display does work well, but I am not sure you really need that if it is just the basic system. The rear backup camera is a great feature. I am still getting used to using it. It is a great tool for solos trailer hookup. The view point affords the view of the trailer hitch and the trailer tongue. I think it should be connected with distance sensors. Placement of the monitor in the rearview mirror is very awkward. Using all three mirros is fine, but mixing in the backup camera view in the mirror seems like a lot of input in one view. I find myself focusing on the camera view and not the mirror. The rearview mirror is a bit low in the windshield view for me. I am 5' 11" tall and I find teh rearview mirror blocking my view of a large portion of the forward view. When I am at an intersection I have to dip my head down to see cars coming to an intersection to my right. Also, to view the traffic signal, I have to slouch in the seat or crane my neck. The feel and fit of the steering wheel is good. The only thing I would like to see is a little more reach of the telescopic feature, maybe an extra 2 inches of extension. Overall I find the Tacoma to be a well built, solid feeling vehicle. It has a great ride. Very capable off-road abilities. I love the truck. I would recommend it to anyone."

"Love this truck-it fits me and does everything I need it to do. Best of all my wife says she is comfortable in too! I need to mention that it fits in my garage for a n empty nesteer downsized garden home-that's important! I have the 4 door TRD w/Navigation and would have bought the limited model if one had been available. Best mid-sized truck on the market."
