Gripes about 2025 Taco

Exactly

 

1. Lane assist - They certainly prefer you use your blinker... Annoying but I also kind of wish every car rewarded blinker use. I have mixed feelings.


2. When I back up... Sorry, I might be at fault. My wife backed up her brand new Sienna and forgot to close the side door. Ripped it off on the garage door. We submitted a complaint to Toyota because the audible alarm doesn't come on until like 3mph.

3. Fuel economy is bad. I disagree. I've got 26 and 28mph on to long trips. Average 22-24 on work commute (mostly city). The boost gauge shows the "miles per gallon" to "smiles per gallon" exchange rate. Less skinny petal.

4. no mud flaps... IIRC, removing mud flaps was the first thing people did on older gen Tacomas. Mud flaps are not always your friend when offroading

6. I've found that I need to make sure my phone is disconnected from the wifi. Annoying, yes.

8. My last major beef is the turning radius. Yes.

10. It is super noisy. I find it very quiet ???


13. I think I lost a few inches in the back seat. Yes, I believe so but its at the expansion of the front seats. I'm OK with that trade.

1. Pick up is great....goes like a rocket. (This is where your MPGs are going )

I should have bought a 2023. Boy, you should read the 3rd gen complaints

You forgot the gas tank size.

 

I guess Toyota got it right...

 

A year later I am still bitchin about that wreck of a powertrain.

 

What year was it and why'd you buy it? You could of had a Ranger or a V8.

 

Which powertrain?

 

I think he's talking about the 3.5 6spd automatic.

 

The mistaken gen. I had to wait seven years for them to put out a proper truck.
