very well built vehicle

good vehicle a few things that I would change, put 4x4 control in a different area not next to blower motor control with the same knob, also 6 speed auto trans does to much searching in hills of Pa, also more seat to roof height for entry if your a big guy 6'2 285lbs

Great Truck

The interior is spartan but it has everything it needs. The drivetrain isn't a big computer-controlled mess, making maintenance simple. The vehicle does have some nice technological innovations that offer a degree of safety and comfort (lane detection and radar-assisted cruise control are nice). The seats are a place to sit, not super comfy but not uncomfortable by any stretch. The higher level trims may have a different story to tell. I particularly love the composite truck bed. Never have to worry about rust or scratches. The V6 offers plenty of horses and torque for daily driving AND is decent on gas, currently I average 20MPG city driving.

I have owned the Tacoma for four months

The Tacoma has met my needs and very much love the way it rides and drives. I love the technology that it has and all other features.

First truck I may buy new ever!

I look for several things in a vehicle, economy, reasonable price, function, and abilities! It rode well, decent power, not overly techy, and just the right size!

Beautiful new Truck

This truck is truly awesome. We were looking for a mid size new truck with 4x4 feature. This is perfect. Beautiful TRD package in white color with graphite interior, nav system, back up camera, USB port and Bluetooth features. drives very quiet and smooth.

So far so good

Cars has met my expectations and needs. Drives like a car. Powerful for a small truck. The back seat seems to have plenty of room for the family.

I LOVE IT !

I needed to replace my '98 SR5 which had over 250,000 miles. Since I have grandkids nearby I went from the two door w/jump seats to a 4dr with full back seats. While my 98' had a 6 ft bed I went for a 5 ft for ease of parking which is great but still miss the extra foot of space for larger loads. Pro's: Lots of extra's and it looks great with all white and black hardware/rims/grill. The V-6 has lots of power and it's easy to drive in traffic or out on the highway and very comfortable. The full computer package is fantastic and well worth the money Con's: The 6 speed tranny is a bear when having to speed up/slow down and then speed up again with power surges in the 35-45 mph range when accelerating. Gas mileage on the open road is up to 30mpg at 75 mph + but around town not so hot with maybe 10-12 mpg going 20-30 mph. Back seat leg room is a bit limited and who decided not put the standard driver side grab handle on this year which makes (for me) climbing into the cab bit of an effort even with step bars ? All in all I would buy it again without hesitation as it's a Toyota.
