  Retired Tacoma Owner - 2013 Toyota Tacoma

  I recently replaced my 1997 T100 SR5 with the access cab Tacoma. I had well over 200,000 on the T100. I figured the Tacoma would serve me well also. I ordered the 4cyl Base Access Cab with the SR5 Package. The milage for the first month has been 24.6 - 25 MPG. The fit and finish is excellent, Millage is where it is advertised, and performance with the 4 cyl. has exceeded my expectations. I like the rear view camera, makes hooking up my small trailer a snap! I have a single axle trailer that I use to pull my Arctic Cat Prowler around with. The trailer loaded weighs about 1700 lbs., I have not had any problems to date. Id purchase the same truck again!

  Good Truck - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By oldguy42 - September 2 - 9:30 pm

  I had been driving a 1994 Toyota pickup for 17 years and decided to trade for a new one. I was sure it would be another Toyota, and spent quite a bit of time deciding which model to get. Im hopeful that my research might help others in deciding what to buy. I mostly drive the truck back and forth to work, so it was important to get a comfortable vehicle that is fun to drive. The SR5 package has more comfortable seats in my opinion and a nicer interior, so I got the SR5 package. The 4-cylinder has plenty of power for me. The truck is quiet and comfortable and I enjoy driving it.

  Awesome - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By cisrab - March 22 - 7:59 am

  I have owned jeeps, wranglers and cherokees. This Tacoma with the TRD off road package, supercharger, and Baja suspension is a much better vehicle then the jeeps. Much more reliable and excellent off road. Will it mach a Rubicon no, but it will hang with it. The truck is much more reliable and comfortable on the road then a rubicon. Toyotas dependability is unmatched.

  Expected More of Toyota - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By brw115 - January 23 - 1:47 pm

  After owning a troubled GM truck for a decade, I had high hopes for this truck. Unfortunately it seems that Toyota has dropped the ball. Though a smaller engine than the 6 cylinder S-10 I owned, this 4 cylinder gets worse gas mileage. The ride is very choppy and the Dunlop installed tires seem very cheap. Why not Michelin Toyota? The exterior of the truck is stylish and the seats on the prerunner are very comfortable, but what is the deal with that cheap Entunes crap stereo? The sound is awful and the so called voice activation rarely works. I do like the space in the access cab and the warranty offered was excellent, but Toyota could do better.

  2013 trd sport - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By joeguy - September 4 - 2:50 pm

  bought it certified pre owned; with 13k miles, and 100k warranty, saved 30%. mine is not a 4x4; but, Im not an off roader. No, it isnt a Tundra deluxe, but I like it. very comfortable ride; better than an SUV, great truck for those who want the best of both worlds. I dont do much hauling; if you want heavy duty, look for a Tundra, but for every day family use and utility; this is great.

  Best truck made for an outdoor a couple - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By heli_mhunter - May 17 - 5:02 am

  I bought the TRD access cab. My wife and I like to bike and canoe. This truck fits our lifestyle perfectly. I had a 4 door tundra (too big and looked and operated clumsy). The Tacoma however, looks incredible and feels and handles very smooth. I park it in the garage and just look at it. I would highly recommend.

  Good truck with some issues. - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jeff - March 23 - 6:03 pm

  I purchased this truck in 2013 brand new. I still own it in October of 2016. There are two design flaws and one other issue with this truck. The two design flaws are: 1. There are two rubber strips across the top of the truck that come loose in strong wind or at the car was. Im not exactly sure why these two rubber strips are on top of the truck in the first place. They dont seem to do anything except come off the truck. 2. The painted on descriptions of the controls. For example ... POWER on the radio knob. These painted on descriptions come off over time since they werent recessed into the dash then painted so you couldnt touch the paint. In my opinion if they were just recessed without painting they would look better. So the descriptions of the knobs will come off over time due to touching them. The other issue is towing and the shifting of gears. I towed a UTV on a utility trailer. I could not use the cruise control when towing this UTV because the RPMs would go too high. Even without towing something the shifting takes a while at higher speeds (60+ MPH) when getting on the highway. Once it does finally shifts gears lowering the RPMs its fine. I love the way my Tacoma TRD looks and handles, but there are issues that keep it from getting a 5 star rating that could have been caught in the design of this vehicle. I would recommend this truck but not if you want to tow something at its maximum towing capacity and as long as you are OK with its design faults.

  4x2 Double Cab PreRunner V6 (5 Speed Automatic) - 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  By ginflorida - February 21 - 11:33 pm

  Ive been driving BMWs for quite a awhile but my wife and I entered the home renovation phase that required multiple trips to Lowes/HomeDepot and similar stores. The day I had to pay a guy with a truck $20 to assist me with delivering some drywall was the day I knew we needed a truck in our household. Not a BMW but for a mid-size truck, comfortable and agile enough to move around town without mowing everyone down. I purchased a special demo version that contains almost every accessory available and its a sharp looking vehicle. My wife, kids and even the dogs seem to enjoy it. I feel good that I dont have to worry tearing up $60K plus vehicles while renovating our home.
