The truck provides great safety features, style and functionality I was looking for. The interior Cab is a little tight but overall, I am very satisfied

Nice Mid-size truck

This Toyota Tacoma has met all my needs and wants from a mid-sized truck. Ride is great and has all the off-road feature I was looking for. Downsized from a full sized long bed supercrew truck. So far I love the Tacoma. Made a great choice and they hold their value.

Perfection

This truck is stylish with all the safety technology I was wanting. The Tacoma has plenty of power and accelerates without any hesitation. The ride is smooth, the seats comfortable and there is enough storage space for the stuff I keep in my vehicles.

Very capable truck. Excellent mpg

Being a rather large person the leg room is suitable, with 2 car seats in the back there is plenty of room for the whole family.

Don't buy this truck!

Don't buy until Toyota fixes the auto transmission. 2018 is the third year for this trans and Toyota is still trying to fix all the problems with software updates. Bought a new TRD Offroad in April 2018, had issues on day one. 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. Took it back to the dealer, was told it had the latest update. The next day the dealer called and said a new update would be available in two weeks. Had that update done and the shifting was better, the roar and vibration was still there. This was my third new Tacoma. Toyota really dropped the ball on this transmission. I keep a truck for about ten years before I sell it but sold this truck in July after only four months. I didn't want to be disappointed for the next ten years so I took a loss now.

Its great so far (only driven less than a thousand

I am totally impressed with the truck so far. The auto slow down when on cruise control is quite amazing and a great safety feature. My wife and I enjoyed a short trip in it and liked the comfort of the cab and the smooth ride.
