  • Test Drive First!!!!!!! - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Be sure to thouroughly test drive before committing. Engine has a very annoying buzzing, resonating vibration while accelerating or under load between 2100 and 2400 rpms. This seems to be a somewhat common problem mentioned here and other websites and forums. Toyota claims it’s “normal”. It is literally driving me nuts and I’m trading it in with 23K miles. Only saving grace is that re-sale is above average. Gas mileage is great but it is quite under powered. Don’t plan on towing a big boat or camper with this unit. Overall quality such as fit and finish, materials used is good. Good firm but comfortable ride and handling. This engine is just un-acceptable. Vehicle should have been field tested more before release to the market of a fundamental flaw like this. I will not return.

  • transmission update - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I have 5000 miles on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma and was not too happy with the way the transmission shifted. On my first oil change I mentioned a transmission update, and my dealer was surprised I knew about that. They told me there was an update available and I am a lot happier with the shifting. I got my information reading these reviews. So people do read these

  • Overstated performance - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    The new V-6 engine coupled with the new 6 speed transmission is an ill fit. The engine struggles to maintain highway speeds without a lot of transmission downshifting. Small hills and overpasses strain the drive train to the point of frustration and distraction. After breaking the engine in according to Toyota specifications, I towed a 12 trailer loaded with a 1500# ATV (total GVW of 3500#) 800 miles. The trip was torture for the truck and myself. Fuel consumption is disappointing. Pure highway mileage is 20.2 mpg. Combined mileage is 18.1 mpg. Towing mileage was 11.8 mpg. Toyota did not get the engine/transmission properly tuned. I dont want to leave the impression I am down on Toyota in general. I have owned three Toyota trucks in the past, and they were great trucks. Toyota seriously missed my expectations on the 2016 Tacoma.

    Great truck, Entune is great. The Tacoma is easy to drive. Go get one. I have the 2016 Double cab with long bed. No issues with transmission, smooth and easy shifts.

  • 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road Dbl Cab Long Bed - 2016 Toyota Tacoma

    Great truck! Great drivability with excellent handling on and off road, which is quite a balance to strike! This is NOT a particularly high tech or fancy truck. For example Tacomas have never had power seats at ANY trim level. No Remote start, even as an option, by keychain or LTE via app, like competitors. I do feel like it should either have a little more torque and horsepower OR slightly better fuel economy, but not terrible. Having made those small gripes, I love this truck for dozens of other reasons! It is supremely capable off road and a joy to drive.

    Happy as Heck!

  • The Drivetrain is a joke - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    The drivetrain of the 2016-2017 Toyota Tacoma is a total joke. This engine transmission combo belongs in a minivan, not an off-road truck. Toyota should be ashamed. Additionally, the infotainment system is also a joke! Where is Carplay or Google support? Toyota seriously needs a team of UX people for their software designs.

  • Quality, Looks and Performance are the reasons - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I love this truck. So much that I drove 225 miles to buy it for $1,800 less than any deal I could find locally. And the dealer was willing to go out of his way to trade for the exact truck available in the color combination and options that I wanted. This truck drives and performs even better than I expected. The aggressive styling of Tacomas 4 door Access Cab are absolutely the top of the class

  • More than I expected - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    The ride is amazing.. its a rugged, classy, and great looking. I dont feel comfortable driving over 80 but I can use my BMW for that. Great around town and it laughs at pot holes so common in the NYC tri-state area.. Over 12K miles now and still runs like the day I bought it.

  • Good Everyday Truck - 2016 Toyota Tacoma
