Random stuff you LIKE about your 3rd gen tacoma

the bsm is also great. didn't know that it was something that I'll love. both my boss always park next to me, they both drive full size lifted ram, so i can never see when I'm backing out. thank to bsm it's a lot easier to know if a car is coming.

 

The interior and quietness, the front end when de-chromed, the easy down tailgate and bed light, and the 20-22mpg consistently on 87 octane. My favorite Taco so far.

 

Most importantly it fits three car seats.
Can't ask for better than that

 

Are the two on the side the my size 65 by Graco? I still use mine rear-facing and it had to go in the middle during the test drive.

 

Hmm, I'll bite.
1. Love the sunroof
2. Heated seats!
3. BSM
4. Color (Inferno)
5. Hand brake location
6. 75 cup holders!
7. New dash and gauges
8. Etune (Pandora)
9. Ride and comfort
10. Off Road gadgets that I will probably never use,lol
11. New look overall
12. I'm sure there's more...

 

I love the gas mileage..24mpg commuting with a 4400lb v6 4x4!.

I really like the entune headunit. I dont see why it get so much flack from reviewers. Standard "premium" sound is pretty good imo. No reason to upgrade until i get some speaker tears in a few years..

The wireless charger.

The fact that the cruise control is the same as the 1990 celica, 2007 scion, and now this.

The weight of the steering wheel and ratio. It drives like a car.

I love the wide low roofed windows (im 5'8" though). Fits me great and i dont feel like im in a fishbowl.

Styling from the front, the giant grill has grown on me and this truck looks badass from the front.

Quality or ride. Quietest smoothest vehicle we own. Handles road imperfections well. Also for the sport it habdkes pretty well in the mountains with minimal body roll for a truck.


Things i dislike:
Needs a more responsive throttle curve (it has power).
Resonance vibration from exhaust (so we think)
Shifting slipage(should be fixed in a coming tsb soon)

 

I got an SR with the 5 speed MT, and the 2.7L, so I don't have a lot of the bells and whistles, but the truck still feels expensive as said before.

Additionally, silly as it is, I'm a big fan of the sliding visors, being able to pull it back on the side and block that annoying sun angle is great!

 

Ive been a LEXUS enthusiast for a while now, every generation of IS I've owned. Currently own a 2014 Fsport.
I love how getting in the tacoma feels like a truck version of my IS. The 3gen IS is very similar interior feature wise, love how its familiar in most ways like switches and dials and navigation etc. No re-learning when I choose which ride i wanna drive.
Great thread! LOVE most everything about this truck.

 

Engine, manual tranny, big ass chrome grill (which will remain stock), front and profile views, DRL, etune radio..shit I paused a FM station this morning(new to me). The look on 2nd genners faces' when they can't catch up....priceless

 

I just traded in a 2014 TRD Sport DCSB w 21K mikes for a 2016 TRD OR DCSB.

I love this new truck. I know I have only had it for 9 days so far, but what a huge improvement. I loved the look of my 2014, but the 2016 has really grown on me and looks much more aggressive.

I love having a sunroof. All my other cars have sunroofs.

The express up/down front windows is finally nice to have.

Locking glovebox and tailgate

Heated mirrors

Bed light really will come in handy.

Toyota finally added some of the little details that make a difference in day to day driving. It's all in the details. The little upgrades mean a lot.

Love the Barcelona Red!

 

2004 base Sentra. Pile of garbage

 

I am guessing I don't have the TPMS screen? Or I haven't found it yet

 

The Entune touch screen is fantastic. No physical buttons, just an area to press. I'm a IT guy and like Star Trek stuff, so anything touch related without an actual button to press is a plus in my book.

 

So you have an SR? If not, it's under the pitch and roll screen.

 

touch screen responds better than any I have ever used

Quicksand Color

improved fuel mileage

Interior is Top Notch

I LOVE MY SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTER!!!!!!!

MANY MANY OTHER THINGS AS WELL!!!!

 

I have an SR5

 

They are headwise 65 - which im pretty certain are the same.

 

I like that my wife prefers not to drive it.

 

Ive got the complete opposite problem...

 

I really like the keyless entry. Never having to take the keys out of my pocket might not seem like a big deal but I love it; also it's impossible to lock my keys in the truck (I've tried).

One-push up and down on both windows is awesome, I've never had another car with that.

The little rotating image of the Tacoma for the compass along with the speed limit is pretty neat.

As others have said, the quietness of the cab is really great.

The skewp >.>

How well the rear seats fold out of the way; my friend's 2016 canyon AC rear seats don't fold up nearly as far out of the way.

The seats are really comfortable.

While the entune unit is still not perfect, and probably never will be, the newer versions are at least much faster which is nice. My parents have a 2012 camry and I really like the car but their entune is a fair amount more sluggish.

The front cupholders are large enough to fit 1L bottls of water/larger cups/etc.

Wireless phone charging is nice since I have an android that supports it.

Heated mirrors, those are awesome.
