What DON'T you like about the Tacoma

Wish the rear bumper was a little wider. I step up on mine a good bit and it could be a little wider. Overall not that big of deal.

 

Thanks for directing me here (to whomever did that). Fun thread. Just commenting so I can find my way back in the future.

 

I've had my 2010 Taco for about 3 months. I love the truck except.....it needs more power...Turbo please!

Sold my 03 F250 6.0 Diesel (loved that truck too!) to buy my Taco because I live in the city now. Just wish it had more getupandgo!

Oh! One more thing...The 6-speed manual. Low is not low enough, and high is not high enough.

 

Driveline vibration when shifting from first to second gear. last about 200-300 rpm's then it's gone. They've done the TSB and it's worse after the rear spring replacement. Other than that I love it. I'm getting 20 mpg combined.

 

hell no not on a mid size truck. that would look so fuc*** weird! it would be so long and nerrow. 8’ beds look ok on 1/2 ton and look real good on the 3/4 and 1ton trucks.

agreed. also most the stuff people are whining about is found on full size trucks. they don’t have all the same stuff the tundra does because they usually sell less mid size trucks, and also the market is not really there.

and honestly. I would not want stuff like heated seats/ heated steering wheels, no sun roof(at least on a truck) heated mirrors would be kinda nice. maybe has an option, also tow mirrors would be a nice option for those that tow a lot or wide trailers.

 

The crossover exhaust with the V6. That's plain mickey mouse. The thing hangs a good two inches below everything else on the undercarriage.

 

Wish I could get rid of the front end rattle when hitting bumps..

 

I wouldn't mind having a moonroof like 1st gens have if it didn't cost extra

 

The center vents (the ones adjacent to the radio) adjustment range won't adjust more than 90 degrees, with the endpoint being straight back. i.e. the one on the passenger side won't "cross" to the driver's side, and vice versa.

 

The vents do suck. I hate them especially since they don't have straight x,y axis adjustment. Since they are angled it takes forever to get them adjusted to where air flows to my face.

 

^^ i hardly use A/C just put the windows down.

 

I used to until a wasp flew in and shot down into my shorts.

 

the way the engine sounds at idle. tick tick tick tick, bugs the crap outta me

 

Just sold my 2011 Subaru STi hatch for a 2013 DCLB TRD Sport.

The one thing that really bothers me in the 5 days of ownership is that the rear view mirror is directly in my line of sight when looking across the hood to the right. I find myself having to duck my head to see strait out to that side.

It's almost like I need to lower the seat but I don't think that's possible??

 

I went out to play in the mud sunday with my '07 92k mile TRD "Offroad", now i need a new starter and T-case actuator.

That really really pisses me off bad. Just sold an '04 Frontier off road that I took to the same exact place and did the same exact thing with zero issues. Before that was an '01 Discovery lifted and snorkeled that I used only to go out there, 3 years of punishing it in mud and water crossings over the door handles with very little issues (Once I got the intake hoses waterproof).

My 1st Gen TRD Tacoma i put through a ton of off road crap, mud water ect and had not one problem with.

Seriously want to trade my '07 for an '04 DCSB TRD now.

To top it off, I broke my King Quad that day, then pushed it on the Tacoma and rolled it through the back window. Not Toyota's fault, but jesus.

 

Get one of these

Haha thanks for the link!

I've actually already PM'd ImMrYo about buying on!

Cheers,

Front diff issue, other than that it does the job I bought it for.

 

Caveat emptor..... just saying...

My issues are all my fault. made assumption that wen buying a fully loaded 2013 Baja... it would be... no heated mirrors , lack of switch illumination and the no auto down on both front windows are the majors for me. Heated mirrors for when I am up north and the auto down windows for the 8 months of hot afternoons down here!!!
