    After much debate and reading here and posting a question asking those that were happy with their 3rd gen (heard a lot of complaints about the transmission etc.), I picked up a 2017 tacoma double cab TRD 4x4 off road today. Transmission seems perfectly fine. No cruise control issues or searching for gears. No delayed shift or anything (Dealer just got it in off the truck). Throttle response also is fine. I did request they manually check the tranny fluid by removing the plug from the pan before I bought. As of now, if it stay like it is, there are no complaints at all. Truck has plenty of power for its size. Thus far, I have to say I am happy. Toyota always has had a good reputation for standing behind their stuff if there is a major known problem.
