Honest community pros / cons for science...

Super objective review right here

 

i test drove three trucks on the dealership lot, and all three did that stutter. it is barely noticeable. my wife thinks i am losing my mind. she never notices.

to be clear..i had to dig deep to find some CONS. deep. it is a very very good rig for my needs.

 

Pro: 6MT
Con: lack of power, or low end torque, regardless of tune.

I could list quite a few cons (none of them major, but annoyances nonetheless) but that one is the biggest for me. It was difficult to get used to after coming from a 4.0L manual Frontier that just had gobs of grunt comparatively, and better gear ratios in the trans.

 

Pro: Longbed. Looks more like a truck than the short bed and sleeps 2 people easily.
Con: Drives like shit. I don’t need a ton of power but the gear hunting is awkward and annoying.

 

Pro - Daily drivability (composed of simple operation/layout and handling in parking lots) while keeping decent capability/utility (composed of naturally aspirated engine, good ground clearance, and decent tow/payload for a midsize) of my '23 TRD Pro is the biggest plus.


Con - I know you asked for one, but I have three! Lack of factory trailer brake controller is disappointing, no cooled seats in the Pro is hard to take for the price, and finally not giving the double cabs a full roll down window like the Tundra Crewmax has is a big miss.

 

Dude your YouTube videos to work on your taco is super helpful!! Just wanted to throw some kudos!

 

He should "burn in hell" for it, right?

 

Pro: pretty good allrounder & cannot beat the reputation for reliability.

Con: Wish it had better payload and need a little more power for some summer camper hauling.

 

Pro: Reliable, Versatile, Capable, and love the MT.

Con: Low HP and No lockers (SR).

 

Sure whatever you'd like dumbfuck

 

I invited all you little delicate hombres to come at me in my DMs....none of yall stepped up lol

 

2023- Pro: Truck looks sweet
2023- Con: Driver seat sucks, JBL speakers suck

2011- Pro: Love the way the truck looks
2011- Con: Damn insurance is high! Everyone always asking me if I will sell it.

Why does the 24 have the handle in such a weird spot. passenger has to lean forward and to the left to reach it!

 

And deprive the public from your outbursts, judgement, and condemnation? Can't have that now!

 

Pro: TRD Pro suspension is perfect for my needs and is great for a Daily Driver. Looks good. NA V6. Capable and easily get me to my favorite hunting and fishing spots.

Cons: 4x4 knob rather than lever like my 4Runner, Soft Paint, Cab mounts noises, gear hunting. Forced to buy the Predator Steps. Lack of access cab on TRD Pro trim.

 

Pro : Capable & reliable
Con : Plastic bumpers ( especially front )

 

I’m hoping not to offend anyone but my honest opinion is that Toronto and Vancouver (I lived there) are overpriced and overcrowded shitholes.

557.900$ is still affordable and I see the value at that price.

PG is a nice medium size town that’s got everything but IKEA. It’s actually a quite nice place to live. Fishing paradise up here.


edit: wait, how did you know how much I paid for my house??

 

Pro: the greatest, most varied, and bottomless parts marketplace of any four wheeled vehicle, to make it truly your own.

Con: see Pro.

 

Says a guy that drives a 2WD





I kid I kid

 

Lots of us manual owners in here with that pro. Haha

Pros (Outside of my stick) - Love that the DNA of the truck feels older. It’s good on the dirt I put it in, too.

Cons - My BMW has a 12.5:1 steering ratio, the Tacoma is a lot lazier than that. Haha. The 4wd drive I keep accidentally grabbing to adjust the cabin temp. And the seats could be better, does anyone know of a swap that keeps the airbag functionality?

 

(TRD) PRO: Very capably (Impressed by the OEM Fox bits) and reliably does what I need it to do easily & un-dramatically while providing simplicity using 3 pedals.
(Edit: And Lunar Rock!)

CON: It is not driven by Electric motors.


I salivate thinking of the added capability of electric motors going off road. AND all the extra space that would be available in the cab and elsewhere in an e-Taco - designed as such and keeping it the same size as the 3rd gen.

Engine compartment would house the 2 front motors AND leave plenty of room for a Frunk. (4 motors would be ideal to better apply power to wheels with traction.)

A Flat battery underneath would be armoured - smooth all the way aft. It would take less room than the drivetrain / transmission / and other bits underneath. Expand for under foot / under seat / under bed storage?

I would happily (but only then!) surrender my third pedal for that...
