    same for mine.

    Only issue I'm having right now is trans fluid runs a bit hot on the highway in stop and go traffic.
    Was told it was checked but thinking I'll get another dealer to check it again to make sure its good.
    If it is and its just running hot, thinking of upgrading the trans cooler.

    But otherwise shifting is great in mine.

    Unfortunately, most are stuck keeping their 3rd gen, unless they want to lose thousands of dollars in trade-in because of rapid depreciation.

    True but these things do keep their resale value pretty well and the longer you keep it the more it'll depreciate. I figure eat up the cost now and live happier with something else than sell it for even less later.

    Actually it's going to deprecate the most the first couple years, the longer you have your Tacoma the better the resale seems.

    The entire auto industry's business model of forcing customers to buy from a monopoly of anointed "Dealerships " is outdated ,costly,and helps create an environment conducive to fraud ,waste and abuse.

    Making a $40 K purchase from a 20 minute test drive is a joke.

    Wow, an honest and truthful 3rd gen owner. Kind of rare in these parts.

    Totally Tomster. I was financially independent and retired comfortably before buying this POS. Now I have to go back to work. It ruined my life.

    I like mine, 26K miles and no problems, fast enough for me, no problem passing someone when you know how to drive. Owned a 1st gen for 15 years, still have it, but I adjusted myself (not my balls) knowing this one will be different. Love it, I'm sure there is plenty of us out these that love our THIRD gens. Keep thinking to yourself that we all hate em.....

    T-Rex grill with black bezel. Blacked out all the badges and added the Tacoma on the tail gate. The windows have been tinted to the darkest law will allow.
    Same here, since I started to use the s mode and getting into the gas a little then it became a different truck and I love it.

    I used to think I liked mine but someone explained that I was just not "perceptive" and did not realize what a huge pos it was. Now I really hate it.
