  Best pick-em-up-truck made - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Dan - November 1 - 10:00 am

  Quite simply the best intermediate pickup made. From style to quality of build, it is outstanding. The ride is very good and the bucket seats are fine for me and my wife. I dont understand why all the criticism of the seating. Well done Toyota.

  On the fence - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Rod - October 2 - 3:13 pm

  Purchased this truck after owning a 2001 Tacoma. Unlike the 2001, I feel the quality of the product has diminished some. I love the truck overall but I am on the fence regarding the overall performance and reliability of the truck. I hate the fact that the automatic model searches for a gear at low speeds. In addition, the engine sounds like it has a "ping" in it. I understand this may be te fuel injectors. After test driving a competetors model, the truck feels more like a "toy." Nonetheless, the truck is fun to drive and the V6 has nice torque to it. Short bed is really not that much different from the standard, and the doublecab leaves plenty of room for passengers

  Access cab, AC, Speedctrl etc package.. - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By calletacoma - September 16 - 7:31 am

  Our first truck got it through a local car dealer as I traded in my VW 2.0 T Lemon (self disintegrating POS). Our Tacoma is fantastic with its instant heat / AC. "Only" 159 HP, sure but its 2.7 L engine produce plenty of torque. Mixed mpg was 21, which is great on a 2010 with 35K miles. Engine compartment looked in mint condition and the rest of the body had a few small dents / scratches. Im keeping this car and adding a dew upgrades to it..

  Way more than expected! - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Erik - July 18 - 10:46 am

  First off, I got a truck because I was sick of driving a small sedan and wanted the utility a truck offers. I am amazed at how quiet the ride is and how smooth it drives. Totally unexpected. Fuel economy is just what I expected at about 18.5 to 19.5. Of course I wanted 30, but its a truck! Plenty of power and a very comfortable ride. I now dont mind my commute every day.

  *BEWARE* - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By JASON - April 1 - 8:44 am

  With a known recall for the differential locking up for the 16s and 17s my diff locked up on the freeway with 68,000 miles 8,000 miles past the warranty. Let me tell you it was a scary ride, luckily I was able to regain control of the vehicle without rolling the truck at 65 mph and thank god my kids were not with me. I took the vehicle to Toyota to see if they would do a good wheel warranty. Even if they would have taking care of some of the financial damage would have been ok for me. Especially, knowing this is a issue for there newer trucks. They did nothing. This is how Toyota keeps there customers happy. I will never buy a Toyota again!

  My 3rd Toyota truck... - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By MikelJay - February 18 - 12:06 am

  I love my Tacoma. This is my 3rd Toyota truck. The 10 Tacoma carries on the tradition of great build quality and reliability. This is one of the quietest trucks Ive owned. The 4 cylinder/auto tranny is very responsive, pulls well and builds speed quickly. The interior is very comfortable and quiet. Although Ive had the truck for 2 weeks now, the fuel mileage seems to be getting better as it gets broken in. Averaging 25 combined city/highway miles per gallon, and I expect it will only get better as it gets broken in.

  Toyota Tacoma Not needs work - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By lawje - January 28 - 3:50 am

  Purchased my 2010 Tacoma in CNY and was disappointed from day one. 179 miles on with large scratch. Dealer fixed but not a good sign. Major complaints: Radio seemed to be very low. Volume was on 50 to hear radio with windo down. Handling, not great. Constant noise when van or heat turned on. Later found out it was a recall and Toyota did not let me know after I complained. Gas mileage...maybe 16 mpg average driving. Not very comfortable for someone 600 tall. Sold after 2 years and 25,000 mile. Also have a 2005 Toyota 4runner which is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

  Top of the Line - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Bill - January 25 - 6:16 pm

  This is my first Toyota since a Corona station wagon back in the early 70s, and boy have things changed. It feels even more solid than the 94 Dakota it replaced, and its at least twice as comfortable to drive. Havent had the chance to put all the off road features through their paces yet, except for checking that everything works, but I already have some very interesting "roads" in mind to try it out on. The double cab configuration with the short bed is just about perfect for what I have in mind for it. Fuel economy is nothing to write home about, but for a truck this capable, its not too shabby. Reliability remains to be seen, but Toyotas reputation is very high in that regard.

  Gen 2 Taco is the way to go! - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jon - December 25 - 3:48 am

  A mid-year 2nd Generation Tacoma is the best for stable, reliable technology and comfort. The extra 4" width is a noticeable improvement. I really wanted to avoid the mammoth screen in the center dash too, since this would be an off-roading/ family camping vehicle. The 2010 I bought had a single-din stereo and a two-way radio already installed, in addition to some off-road improvements. Watch out for 3 major recalls in 2nd Gen Tacos: frame rust, rear leaf springs, and air bags... but if those arent needed, these trucks are awesome!

  Disappointed - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  By Tico - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Just passed one year and 10K miles and more disappointed than I expected (this is my 4th Toyota, but first Tacoma). Lots of little probs: Buzzing sound from center console that dealer said was fixed (it wasnt). needed windshield replaced due to glue streak marks that impaired visibility, acceleration from stop poor (dealer says this is "normal" -- yeah, right!)...poor mpg 15-16 in city, 18 on highway. Hindsight being 20/20, Id go with a Frontier or Ridgeline.
