Is the '17 essentially a '16 w/ elect slider?

First of all I don't want to come off as bashing the Tacoma
I want a new Tacoma so bad I can't sit still.
The 2016 made the list of "The 20 vehicles to avoid at all cost". If the only improvement is an electric sliding window, and zero fixes of some known problems the '17 will no doubt end up on the same list.

Is there any info concerning fixes to known 2016 issues?

 

I strongly suggest reading one of the 25 threads on the 2017 model year.

 

What list is this now?

 

It also comes with the update ECU programming contained in T-SB-0077-16

 

I don't know. I just searched google and couldn't find what he was quoting.

 

The only list with that title is the SheBudgets list. Are you seriously quoting that list?

My 2016 has its issues but seriously...SheBudgets? Good. Lord.

 

I'm not sure what shebudgets is. I do remember a few months ago there was a list "20 vehicles to avoid...." And it was brought up here as well.
Many times.

Traction, I did scroll through this site looking for '17 threads. I found a couple but not the 25 that you refer too. If there are indeed threads talking about changes to the '17, I'll continue to did. This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

 

Yes. It is. 2016 with a slider. /thread

This is what you are quoting....


But yes the 2017 isn't much different than the 2016. I would personally say it is not worth the price difference if you can get a 2016 on the lot in the configuration you are looking for.

But be warned, the 2016 is known to have quite a few annoying issues.

 

I googled, and it looks like that is where the list came from. Not sure what shebudgets is. Not reputable?

 

Sounds totally legit to me.

 

"According to 2016 Tacoma owners, this truck leaves a lot to be desired. Not only is it hard to climb into because it’s a bit high off the ground, but vibration and steering is a constant problem [7]. That being said it does have its good points mainly that it works well for towing, hauling, and going off-road. That being said its “a chore to drive” according to Consumer Report. It’s up to you…is this the truck for you?"

I appreciate the depth and detail this comprehensive article goes into as to why you should avoid these vehicles at all costs.

 

I heard that the 2017's autos get upgraded to 4.33 rear end. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-known-as-just-test-drove-2017-trd-or.444839/

 

They were referring to the Gen prior to the 2016!

Ya his post says 2016 Tacomas....and all points made in that article really have not altered much from 2nd gens.

*edit I'm mixing several articles up, nevermind

 

I think the 17's have a power slider window and auto-locking tailgate
and other than that, same truck.

love my truck!

 

I have to say that I LOVE my 2016 Tacoma. I converted over from a 2008 Jeep JK Unlimited this spring. I'm trying to get used to the radically different approach and departure angles (I'm used to just driving up to something and rolling over it), but I REALLY enjoy the handling, the ride and the functionality. The Crawl Assist is pretty cool and really does a nice job in both Drive and Reverse. The cabin is comfortable. Having a bed to put stuff in is GREAT! I don't have any complaints.

Saying things like, "It rides like a truck," or "It's a little tall to get into," is like complaining that a peanut butter sandwich is bad because it isn't a ham sandwich.

 

@Skinny Dugan ...... Something you're especially proud of? No wonder you're reading "shebudgets"...

KIDDING!

Kind of...

Welcome to TW!

 

Honda makes a "TRUCK" for these "sHEbudget" types.....

 

wow that's the most sexist car review written by a man on a female website I have ever seen.
