what do you NOT like about your Tacoma?

Mine is a 2015 Access Cab SR5. I don't like that all the switches are not illuminated. No real outside temperature gauge,that Weather Channel thing doesn't always get a signal. No power after the key is off. Other than that I'm very happy with mine. It was a close one for me between the Tacoma and the Frontier. I went with the Tacoma mainly because I though it had more cab room and was a little nice inside. The Frontier did have more features for less money though.

 

Probably already mentioned:
No factory locking tailgate

 

Already mentioned I'm sure, at least I have seen it a few times over the years....The low non-adjustable seat. I just bought the 1" bushings last night so I am gonna try those out to lift the seat. Link is below.

Too many girls bothering me to take them for a ride and take their phone numbers..

And the gas mileage.

 

The loud humming from the windscreen at hwy speeds.
Installed a new mirror with temp sensor/home link. Still amazed a top model doesn't include that.

 

I love my 96 Tacoma. It's simple, reliable, and cheap to fix. I wish it were a manual and 4wd, but that's on me, because I couldn't pass up a $250 truck.

 

What? Belch Black Smoke?

 

Nah get out of its own way. These things are pretty gutless IMO

 

I'm glad my 2.4L is gutless. I think I'm going fast, but I'm not. Keeps me out of trouble.

 

Since this post I've actually solved the wind noise, wiper switch and backup camera! Happy camper now!

 

2014 / 2015's got effed on that.... thats why i love my 2013, no bastardization of features.


Bout my only complaint is MPG's but i get epa rated so i cant complain too much.

 

Small stuff but annoys me for such an expensive truck

Electro 4wd switch instead of manual like first gen

Drum brakes

Auto up/down mirror switches on both Windows

Rear window go down like tundra. I wish

Just yesterday noticed my AC system smells like wet gym socks already

 

I didn't like that ether but for $149 and a Gentex mirror I fixed that. Now I have Auto dimming rear view mirror with compass and outside temp for fairly cheap.

I didn't and don't like the lack of a fold down arm rest in the back of my Double Cab which then should and could have cup holders. Would be easy to have provided that. I can live with that though.

 

It is an easy fix, but a 35k dollar truck should have that as standard equipment. If this thing cost 20k new I would understand.

 

I agree with you. But you make your decision based upon what you see and what you can live with and or fix.

 

Oh I agree. It's just ridiculous.

 

Sure. I would much better like the outside temp on the radio display too. That should have been easy enough. Coming from a Tundra Crew I gave up a lot

 

Tacoma is overpriced, comes with less features for more $$$ than competitors but "it's more reliable and better resale"

It's cheaper to buy a new one than used.

Less horsepower and mpg than competitors.

The 4 banger is seriously lacking modern technology and too underpowered for Access cab 4x4. Slowest thing I ever owned. That's why I got a V6.

No 2nd gen Tacoma junkyards around here because salvage yards told me a totaled wrecked Tacoma still cost 6-7 grand and can't make enough money off parts.

Plastic tie down thing on the bed rail seems weak but haven't broke one off yet...
