What DON'T you like about the Tacoma

I don't mind them because I don't sit back there. its usually just used for storage space

 

what i don't like the center cup holder needs to be a little bigger cant fit 20 oz coke. They have also had a 4 speed auto since 1982.

 

I don't like the lack of cup holders in a double cab. I need more cup holders!

 

I have about 15 to spare in my Access Cab, maybe you could borrow a few?


I hate the 4cyl mt clutch, with a damn passion. 4cyl + auto=better off riding a camel, so no good choice there.

Wish the taco was a little more affordable.. but everything seems to cost an arm and leg now so I guess thats not really valid.

Everything else is awesome, and I love my 2 million cupholders.

 

If i wanted a auto tranny i would want 4 heavier built gears, rather than 5 less sturdy ones. The Taco's 4 sp auto is one of the best AT's made, reliability wise. Go read about the Ford and Ram's transmission problems.

 

I know first hand about ford transmission problems 47k. Just over 5 years ford said 3k. Toyota could easily upgrade the transmission put the 6 speed from the tundra for the v6 the take the a750e and put it with the 4.

 

Down shifts into first gear (auto) two quickly. Truck always seems to try and race from 0-15 MPG. If it would hang in second gear slightly longer it would improve my commuter MPG significantly.

 

after owning my truck for just over a year i still love her. but, if i had to pick one disappointment it would have to be the lifeless black piece of plastic where the compass and thermometer used to light up. the fix never brought it back and i would of loved to have seen it work.

 

As I'm selling mine I've had time to really reflect on what I do and don't like about it. There are things I overlooked at purchase and didn't really bother me at first. It's hard to say if the forum had any influence on my opinion but I think that spending as much on this truck as I did, it was silly to have to spend hundreds more on the following things (I didn't, but would have eventually):

No locking storage in the cab (glovebox or console) or console divider
No power sliding window (just damn silly in a DC)
Entune just sucks and there's no reason they shouldn't have made the trip computer info available as on other vehicles. The screen is nice but the apps are worthless.
No lock on tailgate
Rear view mirror placement
Cup holder inserts always gripped bottles and would fly off.

There are some creature comforts I think should be available but that's not really a "don't like" issue. But I don't like they don't offer seat heaters, leather, heated mirrors, power seats, etc. that you'd think would be available in the 2010s. I understand "it's a truck" but so is the tundra....

 

I wish mine had a bench front seat with fold down armrest that has storage.

 

I wish my 09 regular cab sr5 came with bucket seats. I have the bench seat and it would be nice to have a center console and he able to recline.

 

Reclining in a regular cab Tacoma...I just don't see that being possible

Not reclining but be able to move the seat back a little. I've always found the benc seat to be at an odd angle.

 

Like coach seats on an airplane ;-) i guess even a little will be better than nothing

Are you texting while driving, JoEYE? If so, the bump you just ran over caused you to hit the send button twice.

 

I swapped the bench seat to buckets in the 06 regular cab I had. It was a bitch but I did it. I couldn't stand having the bench seat it was so uncomfortable so I found a pair from a wrecked truck along with a center console and installed it too. Back to the topic, I wish the 12v outlets had power all the time and not just when the ignition is on.

 

I bought a 13 dcsb SR5 and really don't like it at all. I've had it for a few months ~2000 mi.
Don't like the ride quality.
Hate the bad vibrations during moderate acceleration why anyone would want to put $4g sc on a driveshaft that can't handle the anemic 4.0 power is beyond comprehension.
That downhill downshift thing is horrible.
The air pump noises are hideous.
Brakes are soggy.
No bed lighting off the cab brake light.
No heated mirrors.
No defrost vents pointed at door windows to clear view of mirrors.
Radio sound quality sucks
Doors sound like pop cans when closing.
I repositioned the rear view mirror.
I added a poplock gate lock. It's finish blows but it functions.
The wind buffets oddly when the windows are down.

I hope the resale value is good because I can't see myself driving this thing for more than 2 years, I am really trying to like it but the more time in it the more I dislike it.

 

i just dont like the 1st gen double cabs not really having many options as far as subwoofers behind the back seat other than going custom. only one box on the internet from supercrewsound or something like that and only fits a pair of 8" shallow mounts. its what i have but i gotta say i REALLY miss my 10" jl audios... my little brother told me heard the bass at my former high school from my front yard (about a half mile away)
