This is a truck, not a truck on a car platform like the Ridgeline. I like alot of what reviewers don't 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.

My First Taco

This vehicle is unique, I've had Fords 150, 250, Chevys K5, C2500, Dodge's Ramchargers, Honda Ridge, MDX, but with that all said, and 58 years later, I pissed off the sales department, but heck, I signed the dotted line for 36x15k per yr, 2017 Taco Limited. I will say I due have a concern about the transmission, acting like a PMSing woman, but my bad azz days r in my mirror. The jury is still out in general, but for the 1,700 miles I've put on so far, mostly city, 500 highway. I'm ok with this thang. Acura MDX was my fav, but I needed an open air pickup due to the chemicals I transport. But I've been complimented x 4 times, about the looks of the taco, me I'm a fat ugly porkroll. But the lil runt gets a 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 with me.

First time Tacoma Owner - Love it

I love this truck. Gas mileage is OK, but it's a truck so I didn't 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, I'm 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 don't need a full size. If you are very tall, this might not be the truck for you. Or any mid-sized truck.

Super Truck

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 Tacoma's and this one seems to be the best. The navigation works well as do all the apps. I am very happy with this truck.

So fat i love it

Do your homework before you visit the sharks that will gladly charge you as much as possible. Web resources like Edmunds are a great start.

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

just traded my 2013 taco limited for a 2017 model. i hated to see the old one go but the more i drive the new one the more i am knocked out by it's performance and features. everything i didn't like about the 2013 model seems to to have been addressed by toyota in the past four years. as i understand from my salesman, toyota brought in lexus engineers and they made improvements in noise control, quietness, and the ride - and it works. if you have ever fantasized about lexus making a pickup, this is it.

Couldn't be happier and def no regrets

After doing a lot research and talking to people who own other tacomas, I decided to get one. After previously driving a 13 Camry se and 14 RAV4 limited, I've got to say for a truck, Toyota has done an incredible job. Everything seems more durable and a lot easier to keep clean than my previous Toyotas. The look of this vehicle I can't stop looking at it. My parents just bought 16 Chevy Silverado 2500hd and although it's an amazing truck as well but impressed that a truck that's $13k less comes with a bed liner. The ride is great and people complain about the seats, I'm 511 and body builder build and I'm perfectly comfortable. I do wish there was height adjustable but I'm still comfortable. I love that the speed limit pops up on the instrument cluster. Gas mileage, this is a truck, not an unibody vehicle, but averaging 20.4 in mixed driving and lots of Boston traffic. Wish I got tech package with blind spot etc like rav but can't have everything. After test driving a 17 Colorado, I feel I got more bang for my buck. Bedliner, bed power outlet, keyless ignition, and the best resale value of any value on the road and it was kind of no brainier. Everyone I ask how you like your Tacoma always says I love it. I couldn't be happier and can def feel this truck will last a long time. My daily commute is hour to work and back and I don't regret getting rid of my rav. I'm comfortable and just love the ride after all this is a truck and seems to me lot quieter than I thought it would be. But this is my opinion do your research and test drivers, ask people how they like their tacomas and make your decision, personal preference is key these days....

Amazing Truck Right From The Start

Most Tacoma owners add aftermarket modifications to their trucks; I will be one of this majority. However, without these modifications, this truck is a comfortable beast right off the lot. It has power, stamina, just enough clearance to get you through many obstacles, and great looks. I do wish however that Toyota would have given more luxurious options (for example: interior with brown leather seats and trim in more than just the Limited model). I am so far very happy with my new Taco and believe I will continue to be happy for many years with it. In the first 1000 miles of driving, I've already taken this truck through the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California twice with no complaints and I plan on many back road / off road adventures through the years.

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.

Great truck in need of transmission reprogramming

I've been looking for a midsize truck. I was originally set on the GMC Canyon but after seeing all the safety recalls and consumer complaints I decided to pass. I ended buying the 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off road 4x4 double cab short bed, automatic, towing package and JBL premium tech package. My biggest complaint was the shifting problem with the transmission. After having the 2016 TSB for the issue applied (and transmission fluid filled to the correct level) at the dealer the issue is now resolved. I couldn't be happier with the truck but miss the HP and torque of my old 2004 GMC HD2500 with the 6 liter V8 (but not the gas mileage or rough ride when not towing). I do some offroading, and minimal towing (3000 lbs or less) with two kids and this was a great downsize from the "big" truck. Not to mention Tacoma reliability and resell value.
