What do you DISLIKE about your Tacoma?

The payment for sure. New full size trucks with standard options that we only get with TRD Pros.

 

The underpowered V6 and shifty transmission on my 2020.
Not even a close comparison to my 2011.

 

The mpg in my 2015 is the worst. I fill up half as much in the 07’ Titan I’ve been driving, the past few weeks.

 

Perhaps the only thing so far is the engine power band. If only the torque was available earlier it would probably be better.

Don’t really like needing to hit 4-5k rpms to hit what seems to be peak tq. I did see a tune that made the tq. More available and as a result mpg goes up a bit.

 

Stock suspension on the third gen OR. It's great if drive around with no gear. Load it up for the weekend and it's an absolute mess.

 

The steering wheel doesn't telescope enough. There is no grab handle on the driver's side a-pillar. You have to replace the needle bearing with a clamshell bushing (which most auto shops either don't know how or refuse to do it) in order to lift your truck without any issues.
You have to be in 4-low in order to use the locking rear differential.
The engine/transmission lacks power at low rpms.

 

What I dislike is, worrying that someone will steal it or crash into it.

 

The damn curve from the door to the arm rest

 

What do I dislike?? Ummm…. ……. Nothing.

 

After adding winch, armor, wheels and misc stuff, its a 5000 lb vehicle. Spent $$$ to upgrade the brakes and rotors.

 

It bothers me that they are so easy to total.

 

The reason I traded mine in for a Tundra was the lack of power. It wasn’t an underpowered engine like everyone thinks either, it was the gearing. The KDMax tune fixed a HUGE portion of the horrible OEM transmission shifting, but the gearing is a mechanical issue that can’t be overcome without replacing with Nitro gears. You shouldn’t have to buy a $40k truck just to spend thousands in tuning and regearing just to make it drivable. In stock form it can barely hold 75mph on the highway.

 

MPGs. Honestly everything else is just great. All vehicles are expensive these days, and I'd find something to dislike about any other vehicle...guaranteed. But I feel like it should be easier to average 20mpg without driving like I have a depth perception problem.

Also, not much to dislike when you're sitting on an easy resale.

 

I wish it had come with the lighted ignition key ring and no tpms crap.

 

My truck won't lock if the powered back window is open a bit when I leave it in the sun. WTH?

 

I hate the squeaky door seals during cold and dry weather

 

The crappy GY Wrangler SRAs on the truck.

Due to budget, I need to run these slippers until they are worn out. Although it shouldn't be too long, the treadwear only has a 560 UTOG rating and these were made in 2015.

 

The $25000 i still owe

Edit: And yes the crappy stock tires that come on it. Popped three of them before I splurged on some BFG KO2s

 

That I have to buy my own gas!

 

The only thing I dislike about my Taco is that it isn't available with an inline diesel. A torq-ey, low revving little, balanced diesel in I-4 or I-6 configuration. Every Aussie off road vid I see on YT has these beautiful off road rigs pulling caravans with their Yota's heart beating with diesel. That's the only thing I dislike.

When I win the Lottery I'm going to have a shop specializing in diesel conversions.
