    Hello I am looking to buy a new truck and the Tacoma seems like an awesome option, however I have read these stories of driveshaft vibrations. Now i'm second guessing and would just like your guys' opinion, should this deter me from the truck, or is it not as bad as it sounds.

    Driveshaft vibs pale in comparison to the problems frontiers have. I have vibrations, but I don't even notice it anymore.

    Your worries should be about which color and options you're going to get.
