are there any issues with the 4 cylinder access cab 4x4

I want to make sure before I order my tACO tomorrow that there aren't any mechanical issues with the 4 cylinder. reason being a member said there having all kinds of issues such as vibrations hesitation tranny problems oil and differential problems with fluids not being filled correctly straight from the factory. please let me know of any issues you know of associated with the 4 cylinder 4wd only. Time is short as im to be in KC tomorrow at 9am. Thanks in advance!

 

OH YEAH 5 speed manual only please!

 

Are you ordering a New 2017 in the 2.7 L 4 cyl. engine? Is that what you're saying?

If so, the Tacomas have had a 6-speed manual for some time, and it's not even an option on the 2017, Acess Cab, 4x4, 2.7 L (which is the only way to get a 4 cyl. with 4x4 in a new one according to that link).

 

The 4Cyl, 5spd Manual, 4x4 tacomas are the same as they have always been. Rock solid reliable.

 

yeah supposed to order the 4cyl access cab 4wd 5 speed manual in the morning. Getting a pretty good deal at 23675. But like I said member said they were having issues with the 3rd gen, which I believe they do with the 6 cylinder but not the 4 cylinder.

 

There has been a TSB in the past for premature clutch replacment on these trucks. This configuration is as heavy as they get with this clutch. Something to pay attention too, but i wouldnt call it a deal breaker.

 

Get it. The 2.7 is virtually indestructible like its older 22RE sister.
Try to get it in a manual, I have the 6speed Auto and it's not the best due to the last 2 gears being over drive and constantly down shifting.

Other than that, the 3rd gen is good. Remember the 3rd gen section has a bunch of trolls, shit talkers, people trying to start fake stuff, whiners, etc.

 

This is spot on. I haven't had an issue really with my 4cyl besides some shifting problems but that's the 6speed auto unfortunately. I mean it would be nice to have a V6 sometimes but I prefer the reliability and the slight bump in real world driving MPG.

 

Ordered the 4 cylinder 5 speed manual access cab 4x4 this morning. Drove it and loved the way it drove. It was an auto . I was impressed even with the auto tranny it drove nice. Since I'm moving to Colorado I decided on the manual over the auto tho. The 1800 dollar difference was the deciding factor. On a side note I drove the 6 speed manual 3.4 and was not impressed at all. although some of it was probably me shifting at lower rpms than I should have, Thanks for all the inputs from my threads.

 

Enjoy!

 

Have the dealership go through a pre-trip inspection. Check all fluid levels etc. When I picked up my new Ram I had them check it and then had them watch me check all my under hood fluids. I found 2 fluids low in 2 minutes and had them top them off before I left the lot.
