    It looks good. There isn't a time I step out in the parking lot or my driveway where I regret what I bought. It's agressive, yet conservative.

    Like that you can turn the fog lights on anytime .. some vehicles you have to have headlights on to turn on fogs. Like the DTRL and that you can turn them off/on. Like the settings on infotainment screen where you can set the delay for lights to auto shut off and set the volume for the lock door and also set to unlock all doors with one push of button on key fob. Like the bed and the fact you dont have to buy a bed liner. Like the locking tailgate. One big like for me since im short is the way i sit up in the seat and its comfortable. Like the e-brake next to shifter.
    I LIKE alot of things about my new Taco and it gets many compliments

    I think the most underrated small feature is the bed light! First time unloading something in the dark, and it was a lifesaver.

    love keyless system, never have to touch my key to open, start, or lock truck. when i drive my 02 taco, i find myself touching the door handle thinking it'll open or stepping on brake and trying to press the start button that it doesn't exist

    The new interior is so much better.

    I love the keyless entry and how I have it set to unlock all four doors with a touch of the handle.

    I love all Tacomas... But the new body style is great! A bit more aggressive.

    Better cup holders!

    Great thread!

    This would have never been a make or break. But I really like how the navigation provides the speed limit in the info screen located between the gauges. This makes for a nice reference when driving on new roads when you miss the speed limit sign.

    Sort of a broad answer but the truck doesn't feel cheap.. in terms of closing the doors etc. When driven it feels like a quality vehicle.

    Toyota put the funds where it matter most.. for example cutting on unnecessary power seats and focusing on cabin noise

    I came from a 2013 Lexus IS 250 so some of the stuff is familiar from that car. Overall the truck I think is nicer than my Lexus. They did a great job on the interior and I think they did an especially good job with the dashboard and controls. It looks very high end and modern but also rugged, unlike a lot of the "car" trucks out there now.

    I really like all the storage behind and underneath the seats, and the little cubbies in the bed. I hate having to keep a box or something like that to put all my crap in. With the built in storage it's all stowed away nicely.

    I also like the info display between the gauges. It's nice to have all that info right in front of you.

    It's a small thing but the led ring around the key hole is so nice, there's been so many times in the pitch black I dug into the plastic on my last Tacoma

    I like the brakes, they are much better than on my 2nd Gen. It almost feels like there are discs on all four corners.

    Oh yes. The self lowering tail gate is sweet! Especially with having a little girl. I was always a little nervous dropping the tailgate around her before. Especially if my hands were full

    I have some real issues, but I'm loving my JBL stereo.
    In fact, I love alllllllll the tech (minus the sunroof and unreliable QI charger).
    People say it's a truck, and you don't need all that fancy chit, but I use these features daily.
    Worth it in the long run

    Have had 4 new vehicles in a row and have to say that this vehicle has a great stearing wheel. Love the feel. Love the tail gate. And I have t used it yet but I'm gonna love using that rear power outlet.
