    I started reading about the same troubles I am having
    Hard shifting seems sluggish can't climb a hill without feeling like I'm going to blow something up
    Gas milage not very good well I thought I was alone thanks for not making me feel left out
    Any way I have 15000 miles on my 2017 Tacoma mostly highway and this truck that I have been wanting for 25 years now I love the feel the equipment I went all out and got the limited but the ride and shifting makes me nuts I wish I would have test drove it more when I bought it but I thought no this is the truck can't go wrong with Toyota well unless by some miracle Toyota can shake there majic dust over my truck and change this it will be my last and soon now I know how you can love and hate at the same time sorry for venting so much but this truck is driving me crazy o and by the way dealer checkups I had 3 now truck checks out fine I can't believe Toyota did this to me

    I get that that's frustrating but he only made this thread 3 hours before you posted this, lol. I'd give him 24 hrs at least before calling someone out on not responding.

    I'm as big of a TW junkie as any of us but it took me a few days before I started getting the shakes from going more than a coupe hours without TW. Now I'm a full fledged addict giving handjobs on the metro for a quick look at Tacomaworld on a stranger's phone :(
