Overview & Reviews

For 2006, a tire-pressure monitor is now standard on all Tacomas. Revised SAE testing procedures have dropped horsepower and torque ratings.

• Flexible and refined drivetrains, excellent off-road ability, 18 different body configurations, available stability control, solid build quality and reliability record, well-trimmed interior, unique bed features.

• Manual gearbox still vague through the gears, awkward emergency brake on some models.

  My 2006 Pre-Runner - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Blackie - December 22 - 9:56 pm

  This is my fourth Toyota, a Tacoma Pre- runner SR5, and its probably going to be my last one. I love my Tacomas looks, quality and performance; but there is no adjustment for raising the drivers seat. I sit much too low, and I am 59" tall. Also, theres no audible signal from the remote door locking device; I have to watch the turn signal lights to see if they flash. I know this sounds like petty stuff, but Im tired of Toyota doing things on the cheap in their top-of-the- line vehicles. Next time Ill take a closer look at the competition.

  Will own it for life! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jason - December 17 - 2:03 am

  Finally purchased my toy last summer, after humming and hawing for years. Ive researched the pros and cons between the Nissan Frontier and the Tacoma, and the biggest issues outstanding for each is the transmission trouble with the Taco, but the differential troubles with the Frontiers. After thinking about the cost (frontier cheaper) the size (frontier smaller) and reputation, I felt that I could live with the random gear changes of the taco, and it wouldnt cost anything in repairs, or pay less for a Nissan, then replace the differential in a year, have less cabin room, less box room, and less "look cool factor". Ive been driving in every terrain with only once stuck in a ditch! Love it!

  Still loving it. - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Don Ray - November 28 - 4:36 am

  I have now put 2,000 miles on it and still loving it. Best tank of fuel got me 20.10 mpg. Put A.R.E. bed cover and stainless steel side bars, flow master 3 stage muffler, stainless steel tip. Looks and sounds great, Love this truck. traded my 2002 for this 2006. Went fourwheeling and climbed everything I have the guts to climb.. The sport model has limited slip and it is the way to go.

  Nice truck, long distance hauls are uncomfortable, seats still are not well padded, it is sporty and has looks, braking is still a little sluggish.

  2006 TRD Taco Review - One Year In - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By CFFuts - November 10 - 4:16 am

  Its been almost one year since I purchased my 06 TRD Crew Cab Short Box and overall it was a great buy. It has been very reliable, gets relatively good mileage (at 11.2k miles, Ive averaged 17.75 MPG) and is fun to drive.

  Pay for what you get - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By seeker - September 29 - 1:26 am

  Yes the Tacoma is expensive, but you pay for what you get this day in age. The option you get with the TRD package are mind blowing. And you get the reliability of a Toyota. Need I say more. Stop researching and buy it!!!

  Sharp Truck! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By TMac - September 24 - 4:16 am

  This is my first truck and I love it. My last car was a 2-seater convertible and decided to go the opposite direction this time. The Tacoma has exceeded my expectations on almost everything. Toyotas design outranks all competitors and the performance is great. Plus you can trust that Toyota reliability. A+++

  Driveline could not be worse! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Indy - September 15 - 3:20 am

  Sharp truck, too bad I hate driving it because the transmission shudders so bad when shifting gears. The automatic shifting is infuriating all the way around. It down shifts like it has Jake brakes. Good luck trying to coast. Toyota claims that all these problems are not problems, but normal. I wish they had mentioned these normal features in their brochure.

  Cool truck - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Alex Roberts - September 11 - 4:03 am

  Really nice to drive.The 4.0 is really quick. You have to get the TRD off road package to get the real nice interior and features. The four wheel drive is excellent in the snow. I am disappointed with how fast the bf goodrich tires wore in just the first 12,000 miles from all highway driving.
