Best truck I've bought.

The truck is sporty with lots of extras for the price, drives very good. And the overall quality of the build is nice.

Worst motor and trans combination ever

It is fine going down hill or on the flats. It absolutely cannot find or hold an appropriate gear on even the slightest uphill. Horrible fuel mileage.

One problem ENTRY

Entry into the Tacoma could be improved. If your long legged, no problem. I had to purchase a running board for my wife. I have observed a number of Tacomas' on the highwqy and most have installed a running board.

Powerful and dependable

The Tacoma has the power of a truck, but has the ease of driving like a car. The interior is very spacious with the full cab and we love our 6 foot bed.

The 4 cylinder - What a JOKE!!!!!!

Is Toyota kidding with this engine? Zero power, zero acceleration, zero everything. Loud, straining noisy boat anchor. Interesting that my 2013 Rav4 (4 cylinder) has 10 times the pep & power. SHAME ON TOYOTA.

Funky remote start

Toyota does not offer remote start as a factory option, dealer (in Akron) didn't tell me this but wanted money up front for option. Dealer sent my brand new truck to a local shop to have remote start option installed. I find this out day truck arrives... NOT HAPPY. Then when I pick up truck I find out that after starting truck remotely engine and truck SHUT OFF WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR! HUH? DUH? WAH? (Not what I really said). Dealer sez all Toyota's work that way. Brother-in-law who sells Lexus sez Lexus vehicles work same way too! Passenger side floor mat no longer fastened to floor bunched up with first person who rode there so I'm constantly straightening out floor mat... UNBELIEVABLE! Gas cap hanger no longer provided on filler door now gas cap bangs against paint. What else did Toyota do to cheapen up the vehicle that is undetectable? Will probably seek out different manufacturer for next vehicle.

Worst auto transmission I have ever oened.

Horrible auto trans. Not enough power from motor to pull the slightest grade without down shifting two or three gears. It hesitates shifting in lower gears going up hills.
