What do you DISLIKE about your Tacoma?

I hear you , when I'm rolling through the Hood dodging carjackers I miss this feature too

 

Going way back to a first page post

I x2 all of these with a passion.

Anyone know how to fix the noise at 80+ from the driver side windshield?

 

I hate that I have 110k on the odo... That's about all I can really bitch about

 

2012 Tacoma, SR5
Bad seat, pillow top compacted so I was setting on the seat frame. 1200
km on the clock no less, joke!
Dealer ship could not beleve it, poor f#@$#$& qaqc at the factory much.
Steering colunm rattle, parts are back ordered, still a f#$&#%$ issue on the 2012.
Hard shifts from 1st to 2nd, auto.
Intermittent hard starting.

Being a new owner I am not impressed. Under warrenty but this is a laugh. Starting to worry, I hope this bad luck changes soon. Disapointed.

 

Ohhh and that more people in my area don't appreciate the Tacoma World as much as I do.

I wave and try and inform other Taco owners but they just don't care....

 

the a cab makes me think i can put people back there... haha i see a double cab in the future for sure!

 

Steering is awfully loose and would LOVE to have it in DIESEL. (My 95 F350 4x4 Crew Cab gets better mpg) Otherwise 170,000 miles of trouble free driving.

 

No hook to hang my fuel cap on while refueling.
Can't buy diamond tread bed caps (or atleast I can't find any)

 

So you not have the plastic piece that keeps the fuel cap attached? Or donyiu want the door hook?

 

I don't have a door hook to hang the cap w/attached plastic lanyard.

 

I like the door hooks.
The strap is good to keep the cap from getting lost, but it hangs down and could mar the paint.

Another thing about the strap.... the cap is "stuck to" the truck.
Ever stop at a station where the handle latch is damaged, doesn't work, or was disabled by the station owner to make people stand there?
Pull the handle, and slip the cap in sideways to block it open.

Can't do that with the strap.

 

no cargo light

 

Love my 96 except for:

-Shitty banch seat
-speedometer whining
-rough ride compared to other trucks

 

Stupid whistle noise from 80km - 100km

Where the mirror sits on the window

The double click key fab to open all doors

The shift hesitation on my automatic

How long the mud flaps are

No heater mirrors

Oh and yea, the whole no cargo light, what were they thinking

But other than that everything is awesome. Haven't done many mods yet so this is all I can complain about, still wouldn't trade it for anything els

 

Diesel, straight front axle, lock in lock out hubs. Floating rear axle would be nice but I won't push it.

 

I hate how easy it is to steal my cats!!!!! Fix this Toyota

 

Things one would expect on a $30,000 Truck delivered to NH:

Cargo Light
Defroster for rear window and side view mirrors
Radio not XM compatible
No foor mats
No Heated Seats
More aggressive tread on this 4WD Truck

However I did get a fake hood scoop!

Thus far I've added Weather Tech mats, Rain X Latitude Wiper Blades and Lund sill protectors.

 

It's almost a perfect truck but here are my dislikes:

Weak frame
Cramped cabin, could be bit wider but being narrow does help on those narrow trails.
That damn squeaky bushing on the clutch.
Poor gas mileage
Not much horsepower, even in the V6

 

How the interior is so loud driving at high sppeds on the highway

 

No automatic headlights or doorlocks!
