1 Month Ownership 2015...disappointed

I prefer driving my Tacoma to my wife's 14 yr old Chevy Tracker.

 

I have a Corvette in my garage and prefer driving my Tacoma.

I hate WoW, but that was funny. If I could drive over warcraft nerds, I might consider at least one round...

 

Ya'll look hungry

 

Classic TW photo ^^

Could use that for the world of warcraft video

 

^ This!

Noice!

My truck will be 1yr old middle of next month, over 21,000mi. , 3 trips cross country, 2 of those towing, a trailer-then my 1st gen, the only issue I've had was the front diff vibration and Toyota fixed it.
And a broken windshield that my insurance didn't cover(deductible too high).
So I must be blessed to have had so few problems!


Also, my 4th Toyota truck!
I buy them for a reason!
1st Toyota V
1980


2nd V
2000


3rd V
1998


4th V
2015

It had custom lift, replaced 4spd w/a 5spd, replaced the 20r carbureted, w/ '88 22re fuel injected, w/wiring harness!
And custom front bumper, I put a lot of work into that truck!

 

#1. WTF?
#2. Wait till u get closer to unlock....never had issue on my '11
#3. SR5 seats?
#4. Take it to dealer. Still under warranty
#5. Agreed
#6. Even with ice we get never a need for one
#7. Lose some weight.....just kidding
#8. You put on a heavier rim with probably one of the heaviest 285s out there and are surprised by loss of power. Probably added an additional 15 pounds with the tires. Guessing another 10 with the wheels. So yeah it's going to be slow.

 

lame thread is lame

 

Change your gear ratios

 

Wait, the seats are uncomfortable if you're over 6 feet?

 

lame contribution...

 

Apparently

 

Even though members have already "bashed" you, I'm gonna toss in my $0.02. To start off, it's a TRUCK. I purchased mine for the capabilities of a truck and under that obligation knew there were going to be some issues. The tailgates are indeed shit, at least on mine which didn't have the TSB done. I don't have any issue with the seating and I'm six two. The wipers in your case are weird, but most likely can be fixed easily. The head units in stock trucks are most likely garage in any case, so that's not surprising. A majority of this stuff is just common practice with a Tacoma. It's a V6 after all, so power isn't all there to begin with. Just my thoughts...

 

The seats are an individual fit and preference. I love my TRD seats as they fit me perfectly. My wife doesn't care for them. Her Highlander seats fit her well but I find them uncomfortable. I test drove a 2016 and the salesman was telling me how much better the new seats were. I found them less comfortable than my 2012 but that is just my personal fit and preference. Maybe try some other Tacoma seats, pads, or covers and see if you find a better fit. I would bet the 3rd Gen seats could be an option as they look like they would fit into a 2015 without problems.

Do any trucks come with rear defrost? About the only time ice and snow stick to the rear window is if the wind blows right up against it. In that case there is usually a drift and not something that a defroster could even clear on its own anyway. I always keep a scraper in the bed for easy reach and it barely takes one or two scrapes to clear the rear window in the rare occasion snow and ice stick. If you treat the window with Rain-X or something similar snow and ice are very easy to remove.
