Overview & Reviews

For 2011, the Toyota Tacoma's four-cylinder engine is a more practical choice now that it's available with an automatic transmission. Air-conditioning is now standard on every Tacoma, while all but Regular Cab 4x4 models get bucket seats. The front grille has been slightly redesigned depending on trim level and a pair of new off-road-oriented packages debut.

• Wide variety of body styles and trims
• Well-appointed interior.
• Strong safety scores
• Impressive build quality
• Engines offer a good balance of power and fuel efficiency

• Low seating position
• Spongy brake pedal
• V6 can get noisy.

  4 cylinder, 4x4 Tacoma with 4 speed automatic - 2011 Toyota Tacoma
  By nedreck - November 12 - 11:42 am

  Overall the truck has been pretty good. The acceleration of the 4 cylinder in this model with the 4 wheel drive and 4 speed automatic transmission is poor, and fourth gear is way too high for this engines modest power and torque level and the shift points are all wrong, in my opinion. It always starts and runs well for me, but the blower fan has been replaced twice under warranty.

  Does The Job - 2011 Toyota Tacoma
  By mitchelld - March 25 - 5:32 am

  Previously owned a Ford F150 with V-8. After 7 years, I made the decision to down size to the Tacoma. The Ford was more comfortable and much easier to get in/out of. Additionally, (and somewhat incredibly) the Tacoma only delivers about 1.5 better MPG. However, the Tacoma is much easier to park in tight spaces and rides on a par with the larger F150. Brakes on the Tacoma are adequate in spite of feeling as though there is air in the brake line (mushy). Also, be aware, the brakes squeak/squeal & you will be told by Tacoma that this is "NORMAL" If you are down sizing, be willing to accept less vehicle in interior/exterior space, ride, and hauling capability with little MPG improvement.
