So who is or is not happy with the 2019 Tacoma?

17 got locking tailgate and power rear window. No other changes I can remember.

 

We got homelink standard, at least on the tech and premium package.

 

I believe in US trim you get or can get the wireless charger. We mostly live in igloos in Canada and were sub human and only get wireless charging with tech packages.

 

Lovin my 2019 TRD Sport. 10 days old and 200 miles.

 

Unhappy. Truck runs like hell

 

Care to elaborate?

 

Traded my 16 for a 19 MT. Happy with my 19. I can see improvements with certain things vs my 16.

 

A locking tailgate, as in what? The '16's have a locking tailgate. If you mean power locking, no Tacoma has that from the factory.

 

My Off-Road came with heated leather seats, power sunroof and wireless charger. It is part of the Luxury Package, that also includes a power sliding window, dual-zone auto climate control, auto headlights, and a crisp premium JBL sound.

 

I had a 16 SR 2.7. Upgraded to a 19 Sport auto. Now trading that for a 19 OR manual w/tech and premium. The transmissions feel the same. I don't have a real complaint other than they act like every other modern auto racing to get to 6th gear as soon as it can shift just to downshift 2 seconds later because it falls on its face. I love the Tacoma. It's the perfect size for my area and the things I need it to do and it looks badass. I missed driving a manual trans though and once I looked at everything I decided life is too short to not upgrade and get the fancy features of the premium package.

 

Traded my 02 Toyota Tacoma SR5 for 2019 SRS, love it.

 

That a tech package or something?

 

2018 TRD Sport purchased late last year..have around 1,700 miles. Not a daily driver. I wanted a manual and the color keyed body parts, so the only thing I am missing out on is the locker, which was not a deal killer for me.

I could've done without the TSS. Already got a recall notice for the PCS. Also agree with some that the cab is a little cramped in some areas. Otherwise, pretty happy with it so far.

 

I have not heard of the Luxury Package, is that new for 2019?

 

Sorry, Premium Package. Same difference...

 

Gotcha, that threw me for a loop. The sliding rear window and wireless charger should be standard equipment

 

Got it.

I was pointing out to another forum member who chose TRD Sport over Off-Road because Sport came with leather, sunroof and wireless charger. My OR came with all those things.

I can't tell what is standard and what are optional; my OR came with pretty much every option.

 

Right I pointed that out too, but it sounds like he was from Canada and those trucks seem to be equipped differently.

 

Lol please be sarcasm. I could care less if any newer model from this day forward has chrome

 

Only had for a little over 1 week.

traded out a 2019 mustang gt auto pp1 (it's engine made a typewriter sound and rattled at 3k rpm but ford said normal)

this is my first toyota and tacoma.
