    Not everyone is gonna like your sh*t, get over it. If your wondering how well a Tacoma does, just google (KBB) the values of its competitors from 2012 with the same miles to the Taco. The Taco will still be king, old new and future, JD is turning into 'fake news'.

    I did too, sold my 06 SR5 and bought a 10 Pro-4x, I went into it with low expectations but It's proven to be a really great truck. I like all of the midsize trucks for different reasons, The Frontier ticks all the boxes and happens to be the least expensive.

    Highlights

    V6 : Though sophisticated, the V-6 is not particularly refined in terms of noise, vibration, and harshness, nor is it particularly fuel-efficient. It also can’t match the segment leaders in terms of towing and payload capacity. Step hard onto the accelerator pedal and the Tacoma literally roars to life and moves with a semblance of authority. But most of the time this truck is just loud and slow.

    Drum Brakes : To understand the Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s driving dynamics you first must consider that this truck is equipped with variable hydraulic-assist rack-and-pinion steering, ventilated front disc and rear drum braking system. The steering is heavy and slow, supplying vague response to input. The brakes are difficult to modulate, displaying an irritating on-or-off trait when all the driver wants to do is to bleed some pressure in stop-and-go traffic or when threading down a country road. The ride quality is bouncy, but the Tacoma TRD Off-Road effortlessly pounds broken pavement into submission. At highway speeds, wind noise and the constant background thrum of the drivetrain can become tiring.
    Handling is mighty unimpressive, the tires proving squishy on pavement and offering little in the way of confidence. This, combined with the grabby brakes and sloppy steering, keeps speeds low and slow. As a result, on the test loop, the Tacoma had no trouble executing a full-ABS panic stop after a long mountain descent, simply because the truck failed to instill the confidence necessary to bring speeds up to the point where hard brake use might possibly cause fade.
