@honda116969 2 года назад

Considering I do 95% driving on the street I should have probably got the TRD 4x4 sport model but instead I went with the TRD 4x4 off-road model I don't know if there's a whole lot of difference but I kind of like the plastic around the fenders & the bumper rather than everything being painted. But being tuned more for the street probably would have been better. The off-road has that locking rear diff which is hella nice, but I don't think I'd ever go off-road enough to where I would need it the 🌮's are so good off road I think just having 4-wheel drive you can get almost anywhere even in stock form for the average person camping, hunting & shooting things like that... Not going out to purposely Rock crawl or mud bog...

It has all the bells and whistles on it (that I actually want), and it will tow a boat or a small camper trailer with no problem. I am now 63 years old, and I doubt seriously that I will ever have to buy another truck.

2021 TRD OR 4x4 owner. Love it. I like the transmission. I’m not sure what folks are talking about. The transmission likes to keep the RPMs as low as possible for fuel economy. So that means it likes to upshift earlier than folks might expect. Another huge benefit is low RPMs keep the engine running for many years. Less stress.

Great little review Scotty. Thanks! BTW, 3rd generation "gear hunting" can be eliminated with a performance tune. Had the OTT performance tune done on our TRD Off Road 4x4 V6 automatic a couple of weeks ago and it shifts perfectly, not to mention immediately improved throttle response and even better acceleration when ECT is engaged. No effect on mileage either. Best money I've ever spent. Now it runs the way it should have from the factory. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

I have a 2020 TRD Off-Road 4x4. Everything said about the transmission is absolutely valid.

But, is that always a bad thing? The current tech in the Tacoma is proven and it will last a long time. It is not your typical futuristic truck loaded with tech and there is a very certain market for a Tacoma. Update: still have my Tacoma and I love it! The transmission improves over time as you drive it so I’m very happy to say it’s way better! In love with this truck and very happy with it.

I have a 2019 Tacoma Sport MT bought new. Has almost 70,000 miles. So far the truck has been bulletproof. Zero issues. Of course real world driving 75 to 80 mph on the highway delivers about 19 mpg. Still not bad for a truck this size.

Traded my 2017 Tacoma for a 2019 F150. Mainly because the dumb transmission. I get better mpgs in a full size truck. Plus, they were the same price.

Another weak review. He knows more than the average person about vehicles, but doesn’t know anything about manufacturing. That plant pays 10x the minimum wage, and the employees are extremely conscientious…much more than the Detroit plants. To say they’re only “put together” in Mexico means you don’t understand manufacturing. Why say things like a radio breaking from a vehicle built in Mexico. The location of the vehicle plant has nothing to do with reliability of an electronic component sourced from another company, then shipped to the vehicle plant to be installed. These trucks have the best resale value. For a reason. Period. And the plant in Baja California is the best plant you’d visit if you went.

And I’ve owned 6 Tacomas in the past. This is the first time I bought a new Ridgeline and what a difference. The Toyota Tacoma performance is crap compared to a Honda Ridgeline. And I really hope Toyota engineers pull their heads out and design a reliable truck with performance like a Ridgeline. And I will buy one on the spot because I like the stance and looks of the Toyota Tacoma. I just want better performance with the gas mileage of at least 24 on the freeway.

I had one like this instead mine came with the TRD Off Road package. I know actually what Scotty was talking about when he said how the gears kept switching. Once you start using the truck long enough, you will know how to fix that issue easily. The gears switching occur more when you uphill because it requires more power. What I did was I switch it to sport mode and leave it in 3rd gear or 4th gear depending on how fast I am going. This avoids the gears to switch back and forth. The only reason I sold my truck was because I needed a bigger truck to tow my trailer. Other then that, it was the best off road truck I've ever driven.

@chrisjarvis5876 2 года назад

I had the ‘03 Tundra with the 4.7 engine also and the crappy gas mileage but loved the truck and the power. Friday the 13th of September 2019 changed all of that at a street light when a full sized work van pulled out in front of me and I plowed into the right front of the van at 45mph. Totaled both vehicles but the Tundra still started afterwards. All 4 doors still opened fully without any binding. Bought a 2019 Tacoma 3.5 Sport as a replacement. Other than lack of power compared to the Tundra, I love the gas mileage. I get anywhere from 17-26 depending on the terrain and traffic. Not a bad trade off in my opinion. Toyotas are built to keep you safe.
