What do you DISLIKE about your Tacoma?

I hate the pull out parking brake on my 5 speed... why couldn't they just put a normal pullup parking brake?

 

I can live with it (obviously) but I would prefer it the other way

 

They figured out how to do it in the Hilux. I really like the Hilux interior.

 

My 1991 x-tra cab had it also.

 

Your build shows grey seats. I mean full black, not just dash. I got grey leather, wish it was black along with carpet too. FYI, like the tie down rings on truck bed you put.


O'yeah, the front mudflaps that break off too. WTF!

 

Is there any DIY way to make it look similar to the Hilux interior? At least hand-brake wise?

 

That's funny because I have absolutely no problem getting hogs with mine.

 

no sunroof
don't like power to fuel economy
too much plastic type interior
seats (material and lack of options)
ugly stock head unit
mostly just the huge lack of optional features.
However I do like how many mod options there are for these trucks.

I would still choose this over any other mid size, but I do want to sell for a full size asap.

 

Front mud flaps being waaaaaaay to low.
Can't lock truck with door open.
Truck relocks if you don't open doors quick enough?
Not enough D rings!!!!
No indicator for fog lights on.

But thats me being nit picky. I lOVE My TRUCK!!!!! 08 OR DC II

 

I'll say it again... Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

 

went to Amsoil 5W - 20 oil and the ticking is just about gone. So it would appear to be the hydraulic lifters.

I test drove a 2011 ford superduty with the new ford-made 6.7 litre diesel (F250) and that truck was awesome. My taco compared to that truck is just irrelevant. Toyota could make these tacoma a lot better but they just won't do it. But for a light-duty truck, my taco is a pretty good truck. Just not anywhere near as good as they could be.

 

Or they used to be. They were built to last. My '08 is complete rattle trap after just two years. Sounds like it is falling apart on anything worse than a minor bump. Soo sad.

 

x2 When we had a 1st gen, the only problem we had was the water pump let antifreeze and water all over and was a mess to clean up. Once that and all the belts were replaced everything was fine.

 

I dislike the fact that y'all are disliking anything about your tacoma on tacomaworld. enuf said.

 

ohh ok lol...yah i have to agree having two similar colors for interior is kinda lame...and i have yet to see the taupe in person....

 

Even a super hot wife with a great personality pisses you off from time to time.

 

No mileage computer, no auto headlights. Yeah, I know you can leave them on, but I don't like running them when I don't need 'em.

 

No fog lights / cruise control. Wish I wasn't so damn cheap. I DO like the black trim over painted though

 

After 25000 miles, really not bothered by much of anything. The truck is marketed as a light-duty truck and as such it performs as advertised. My truck is running sweet. For what it won't do, I will have to get a heavier-duty truck. No rattles or any other problems. The one thing that is a bummer is the gas mileage. Should not have had to spend several thousand to fix what was wrong with it; but now that it is done the truck is running great. Will I buy another Tacoma? No. This is my fourth taco and toyota is just drifting too far away from what made the tacoma such a good truck originally.

 

What do you mean by drift away from what the TACO was originally? Your comment was very interesting to me! (Not being a smart ass it just interest me by what you meant--all your other comments I understand and agree with 100%. I believe the drifting away from the gas mileage has/will hurt them.)
