What could improve your Tacoma?

a V8

 

Folding outside mirrors!!

 

Preach...2019 and older problems...

 

Mini guns and bumper car style bumpers all around to keep those chucklehads in their own lane.

 

Pretty impressive.

 

Friendliness? On TW?

 

How about longer trips at 70 and 60 MPH?

Although, admittedly, these are my extremes during normal driving and where it wasn't all downhill. I'm usually pretty happy to reach 23.

 

It's called 2015 and earlier, aka 4.0L V6.

 

I'll bet those that report their mileage or lack of are just like the majority of people that fill out reviews and that is, those who are unhappy with said vehicle/product.

 

Buddy, you're so full of shit. Try logging several full tanks while keeping track of the odometer after each tank. We all have the same truck. It's not impressive that you took a picture of a bar graph which only updates when you hit the "Update" button as you coast downhill.

I just got back from a 600 mile round trip to Vermont driving like an absolute grandpa with a 23 average. I know it's possible, but it's not a representation of average use.

 

1. They shrunk the headroom aspect compared to my second gen, so taller interior.

2. Maybe a GOOD electric or diesel option, at least bring back the 4.0

3. Somebody for the love of god figure out sway-bar disconnects.

4. Aaaaaaaand ya, a manual 4 door longbed.

 

I'd say bring back (or add more) bed cubbys. Smaller hood that's easier to see over when off roading. Or provide USB power to the backseats. Why do these damn trucks have so many cupholders?

 

The mirrors on the 2021 Sport A/C fold back. Manually.

 

Data point

New 2021 with only 2k miles. Went for a 7K mile venture out west "to see the kids". Not all interstate, in fact, the way back it was two lane all across the mid lands.Nevada to New York state.

Looks like 21 mpg all in. I drive 65-70, the wife has a heavy foot for a light gal.

I think we could have done better at 60 mph.

 

Thank you.

My truck doesn't get the advertised mileage and has no low end grunt...

 

Planned obsolescence I tell you! A few years in and my power and fuel economy just went to shit.

This simple modification could come in handi!

 

Lack of power is my main gripe, 275 hp 265 tq sounds reasonable on paper but doesn't translate well with actual driving experience.

 

The tq was always my reason for a MT with my previous 3 Toyota trucks. This one I wanted a DCLB so really didn’t have a choice. Had to go AT. Plus none of kids can drive a stick and I wanted something they could drive if need be. So far it has worked out just fine, but I’d be lying if I said there was a time out two I didn’t wish for a bit more torque getting off the line pulling something or a heavier load. But to date, it has done everything I have asked it to do.
