Honest community pros / cons for science...

Do you mind giving me one summed-up Pro and one summed-up Con about your truck? Can be anything personal to you; big or small. I need this for... science.

P.S. 2.7L maintenance trackers are closer than ever

- Tyler (Team Oil Drop)

 

I'll start:
Pro: Agile and easier to maneuver than a full-size
Con: A gutless gear hunter pre-OTT tune

 

Pro:
6MT

Con:
Overall fit and finish

 

Pro: Has Stick Shift
Con: '98 4Runner gets better gas mileage

 

Pros: stick
Cons: my T4R with 2UZ gets better MPG and nicer finishes.

 

I couldn’t have said it better…..

 

Pro: It's a Tacoma
Con: Hard to fight all of the chicks out of my passenger seat.

 

Pro: compact
Con: power

 

Pro: basic design, easy to work on

Con: not the quietest cabin in the world

 

2nd gen here but I'll play

Pro: I've never seen a single check engine light or warning light of any kind, never had it no-start or leave me stranded

Con: the damn Dakars squeak like hell, I can't get better than 15-16 mpg no matter how I drive

 

Pro: Bad Ass looking truck.
Con: Bed and bumper alignment.

 

Pro: exactly what i need out of a vehicle.
Con: cruise control is unusable with the slightest incline or a 5mph headwind.

 

Pro: I love the way my truck looks and drives. I know many on TW don’t like the AT, but I rarely punch the gas and if I do I use the ECT button.

Con: I don’t like the engine compartment layout. Too hard to get at driver side spark plugs, coolant crossover pipe, timing chain cover etc.

 

Pro: hopefully Toyota reliability. starts everytime. comfy. looks great, rides great. way less road noise than my 2006. i'm middle aged, and i am cool with the auto tranny. life aint a race for me.

Con: noise rear diff. "can i get some cheese with that whine?"
the fit and finish, especially around the front grill is kinda janky. it is oddly loose feeling when i wash the truck.
that low RPM stutter when you exit a corner is something to get used to.
i dont love the canister oil filter thing.

 

Pro: I liked my 3rd gen.
Con: I sold it to buy a house.

 

Wish that was the case in Canukistan, need to sell at least two 4th gen Trail Hunters to afford a shack…

 

I didn't sell it for enough to buy a house, I sold it to get our debt to income ratio right so we could buy a house.

The pro to that is I took the leftover money after paying it off and bought a skid steer

 

Great con to mention

 

For my ‘22 V6 TRD Off-Road 6MT:

Pro: Manual transmission, looks, tons of aftermarket support, capable off-road

Cons: not much low end torque, reverse gear is geared too high leading to have to slip the clutch a lot while reversing a trailer

I also wish the payload and towing capacity would be slight higher (7k lbs towing capacity would be nice)

 

What year? These cons aren’t normal.
