Great value!

I've owned 5 Tacoma's over the years, great vehicle, great performance and they retain their value. Toyota Tacoma is the highest resale value vehicle today, as a result, I'm able to trade in and trade up every couple of years without the usual step depreciation that plagues other brands.

Love my Tacoma

I?ve had my Toyota Tacoma for about 3 weeks. It is the SR5 trim level with v6 double cab and upgraded navigation system. I really like the exterior, interior, and technology that comes with this vehicle. To me it looks better than the other mid sized pickups on the market and it does what I need it to do so I am extremely happy.

Nicest truck we've ever had!!

We just purchased the Toyota Tacoma. My husband has been actively looking for awhile. For what we wanted, mileage, style, comfort and a vehicle that keeps it's value, the Tacoma was the right choice for us.

Toyota Tacomas Just Keep Getting Better and Better

Every single person that I've asked who has owned or currently owns a Tacoma has said nothing but positive things about the truck. Now that I currently own one, I see now where they're coming from. What an amazing vehicle. I can't get over the size. Toyota has really beefed up the Tacoma Model, and I don't think it can be called a compact anymore. It's in between a compact and a full-size. LED lights in the bed. Plenty of legroom in the back, I just drove three of my friends who are over six-five from the airport to their house, and they were completely comfortable. Four-wheel drive. Blimd-side monitoring. Superior off-road performance! This truck has everything a full size has but better gas mileage. Excellent vehicle.

Tacoma 4x4 Off road

Vehicle is small for anyone over 5?11?, the newer 3.5L engine is slightly under powered compared to a comparable pickup however, the truck drives very economically between 55-65 mph, lots of options, very user friendly, very capable off-road, the off road features are for the more serious wheelers and are probably a waste for those of you that just want a great small 4x4 truck because the standard 4 wheel drive is very capable by itself.

Most Fun Pick-up Ever

I have the TRD Pro Black; as a military member who mostly drove trucks when overseas and during duty, I finally have a truck of my own! The technology, looks and toughness - I can finally for time that I would never trade this truck for any other car in the market - period.

Best Off-Road Vehicle I have ever owned

I researched serval types of off road vehicles that would serve all of our needs and decided I was most interested in the 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO, however those were very limited and hard to find. so I test drove the 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO double cab and was very impressed with all the option that came with this year, crawl control, traction assist, heated seats, navigations, rear lockers, upgraded shock system, very well built skid plate to protect the under body in front, the exhaust has a nice growl to it, lots of storage, plenty of leg room. I am extremely happen with my purchase. I cannot wait to take it off road and really see what it can do for us.. The absolute best vehicle I have owned. Great Job by Toyota for building sure an awesome vehicle with these potions.

Impressed

The safety features of this vehicle seemed unnecessary during the test drive, then when you actually drive it if you make the purchase, you realize how neat they really are and understand that they are really cool features. The vehicle is very slick looking. The one thing that blows my mind is the fact that the vehicle has all these neat features, but then no power seats/heated seats and no Keypad code entry on the vehicle. However, this is just a luxury and not completely necessary, just nice to have.

Most economical all terrain truck.

Tacoma holds its value surprising well. 2018 Tacoma has so many safety features. It is fun to drive with a real feel for the road.
