  • Excellent - 2017 Toyota Tacoma

    This is my 3rd Truck and boy does it drive much better then the 1970 Toyota truck or my 1983 Dodge Rampage. That saying a lot since the dodge rampage drove like a car with nice bucket seats. The truck takes a little getting used to but like any new vehicle it going to take time to adjust to different settings. I was thrilled because my insurance only went up 10 bucks from driving a 2006 Acura TSX and I was not paying all that much for great coverage under 400 every 6 months. The truck likes to conserve on gas yes but when you need power just push the pedal down firm and you got full on get up and go power. If your taller then 6 FT you may end up hitting your head on the ceiling. For the most part though the ride is smooth and compliant especially on freeway. If your looking to get some extra weight under the wheels definitely get the Tonneau cover. It helps with getting more grip on the tires and improves gas mileage. Also the engine is much more compliant between gear shifts or maybe the computer just learned to adjust to my drive style. Either way it should be a boon to you because you can now lock your bed and lock the tailgate. Which is one of my concerns since the tailgate is so easy to remove.

    I purchased my Tacoma Off Road one month ago. 22" of snow over the weekend - 100 yd very steep uphill driveway - unplowed - truck never noticed it. No problem in 4WD high. Its a beast in the snow. Cool factor - my high school kids and thier friends love the vehicle.

    I love this truck. Gas mileage is OK, but its a truck so I didnt expect to get super mileage. My only complaint it there is not trim package that has a power seat or a manual way to raise and lower it. After 4000 miles, Im used to it. I considered a Ford and Chevrolet that are bigger, but went with the Tacoma because of the styling, resale value, and I dont need a full size. If you are very tall, this might not be the truck for you. Or any mid-sized truck.

    Due to EPA mandated for fuel efficient vehicles, it seems little sluggish for normal operation.

  • Better than before - 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Purchased this TRD sport in Blazing Blue Pearl in August of 2016. Highway driving I get over 27 mpg at 55-60 mph. Around this small town I am getting 19, which is much better than my 2015 Tacoma with the 4.0 V6. The truck is more comfortable and definitely quieter. I have owned several Tacomas and this one seems to be the best. The navigation works well as do all the apps. I am very happy with this truck.

  • Awesome truck! - 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    This is a truck, not a truck on a car platform like the Ridgeline. I like alot of what reviewers dont like about it. I like the high step in - 20 inches...which means it will get through the snow drifts at the end of my long driveway. Its a smooth ride as trucks go. The bed is deep, where the Ridgeline is shallow. The instrumentation display is much better than the Chevy/GMC IMO. Sure you sit with your legs a bit straight in the front seat, but once again, I know it will get through anything without bottoming out. The resale value, and reliability are a the top of the segment. Its a blast to drive. Sure it can be a bit sluggish if you are trying to maximize the MPGs merging on the freeway, but all you have to do is either press the ECT button, or push harder on the peddle to overcome it. My 16 year old did that and actually improved the MPG. Go figure.

  • Great truck, poor gas mileage - 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    This is my first truck, after owning bars and small SUV. I have a model with manual transmission. Im getting only 18 mpg on the highway. I expected a little bit better. I bought good stuffed tires and took the truck on snowed in mountain passes. In 4wd it holds the road like a champ. I have a full confidence in it. In 2wd it gets some fishtailing that is immediately corrected by traction control (I didnt have any weight in the bed). Breaking is great. I could feel ABS activating only once, when doing aggressive breaking from 60 mph on sheer ice. It partially may be thanks to good winter tires. Low beam headlights are good, high beam--best Ive seen. Build quality seems to be OK. I found cross-threaded bolt holding belly pan. I have yet to address it with the dealer. I think materials used on dashboard could be better. My wife has 2010 Subaru Impreza and it feels much more refined, although cost just over 1/2 of a price for Tacoma. Telescopic steering wheel is a joke. I cant lift it high enough to comfortably get out of truck. It traps my right thigh between the wheel and the seat. The truck is also missing drivers side handle to assist in getting in and out of the cab (Im fairly fit in late thirties). The biggest gripe I have is the fact that heated seats come only as part of $2000 package. I dont need parking sensors or moonroof, heated seats are nice to have in cold climate. All in all, Im happy with the truck.

    More room inside than the older models, safety features are great with cross traffic detection and blind spot warnings. Dealer support has been great through the whole process.

  • LOVE w Blue Truck - 2017 TRD SPORT Tacoma - 2017 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Traded in my 2011 Trd Sport Tacoma for one reason and one reason only the ride was rough I loved this truck. Then came the 3rd gen. Tacoma in 2016 saw it and heard about all the trans problems of 5th and 6th gear confused so I waited for this BLAZING BLUE 2017. Get looks from everyone and everyone comes up to me saying beutiful truck...which I think is absulotely true. Now the ride is like riding in a big F-150 or a Lexus it is so queit and comfortable. It get better: Averaging 24 mpg in the city. I drove it on a 33 mile freeway drive the other day with about 3 stop lights got 29 mpg... I am so so stoked. Open the door w/o pushing key button then push start the start button and your off to a smooth quiet comfortable ride luxury all the way. Is so so easy to start and go. Look forward to driving this luxury truck and easy to park. Cant wait for my next drive.....get one for yourself.
