Truck performance is fantastic the cab strange

This truck looks fantastic the performance is really good the cab is confused at 6 feet 2 inch tall I'm not a humongous person but I cannot sit all the way up in the seat without my head touching the roof line the height of the seat cannot be adjusted at all at this price range you would expect a little bit more adjustability in the seat if you are shorter person this truck is everything you will need if you're taller you might think twice

Makes the hubby happy

This truck meets our family needs. It fits the kids and dogs comfortably. It allows our family to have adventures in style and comfort, but most of all gives us the security of having a reliable vehicle.

Fishing, Farming, Hunting and Hauling

Very satisfied with my new Tacoma. Having previously owned five 4-Runners there were few surprises on operation or where components were located. The big difference is that this TRD drives and rides like a truck. Besides the Toyota reliability that I am use to, the added safety features including "lane change warning", "back-up camera package" "avoidance braking" and "blind spot warning (added option)" closed the deal when shopping for a new pickup. There are also a ton of add-on features for looks, function and storage from the after market vendors. There is a much more solid feel when trailering my boat than I had with the 4-Runners. I love this 4-door truck that actually fits in my garage (the full sized 4-door competitors would not). So far the only negative is that my 7' 2" fishing rods must be bent to fit in the five foot truck bed.

What can I say it?s a TACOMA

I?m not sure why I didn?t buy a tacoma years ago. I have mainly driven sports luxery sedans all my life. I have always wanted a truck. Last week pulled trigger and absolutely love the Tacoma. Not as fun as some sports cars but it?s a fantastic truck

Transmission Shifting Issues

The Tacoma cannot deside what gear it needs to be in when climbing small hills. When stopping it almost feels like the truck shifts into neutral. There is a TSB for the 2017 that also corrected a transmission issue. I cannot find a TSB for the 2018 Tacoma.

Tacoma all that needs to be said

Now I know on the internet there has been complaining about this truck but I love mine. I am getting just over 21mpg and it?s a truck. I think they could have done better with the seats but Tacoma have never been known for comfort.

Toyota Tacoma

Well built drives well but the trans needs better shift points or instead of 3.91 great ratio it should be 4.30 all the rest of the truck 5 star.

The Toyota Tacoma Sport is classy

This is the perfect truck for us. It is extremely useful but has lots of bells and whistles so it is comfortable and can carry 5 adults comfortable. The Tacoma TRD Sport with the premium packages has all the features you could want but is a work truck as well. Our last Tacoma was trouble free and had a great resale value. We expect the same of our new Tacoma.
