"The Toyota Tacoma is the best-selling midsize pickup in the country, but from behind the wheel, it's hard to figure out why. "Toyota wins all the
style points," features editor Scott Evans said. "Thank goodness for that because it has a lot of offsetting to do." It's hard to pinpoint just one
flaw with the Tacoma because there are so many.""
That quote, from the current issue, is just the beginning. It hates the truck from here to the end of the road, and then some.
They hate the cabin comfort, seats, ride and power/transmission connection.
They hate everything except how it looks.
Toyota lovers should avoid this reading because it will ruin your day....
A recent review tested the Tacoma against the Colorado, and the Ford Ranger... In Off and On-road driving... all three drivers (they switched between
the three trucks liked the Chevy ride on the highway best and loved the Tacoma performance off-road. The new (well only new in the U.S.) Ford failed
big time.

I bought a new PU 2 yrs ago. I drove the tacoma and f150. After trying the f150, the tacoma seemed crappy in comparison. Funny, the f150 ecoboost 6
cyl gets better gas mileage than the much littler, lighter tacoma. Tacoma aint got no game.

For the other replies... a Tacoma is a mid-size truck. It is not comparable to a Ford f-150 or 350.... seriously.

I was in market for 4 dr Pu, did not care mid or full size, but had to have look i could tolerate, be comfy ride. . The ford and toyota had tolerable
look, the ford beat toyota, was really no contest, the toyota was cheesy out of date interior. Ford f150 had much better ride.
I would have bought midsize, but none could cut it.

The new Ford and Toyota grilles are virtually identical! Not a fan of the new Toyota headlights, too bulging and bulbous.
I've owned two Rangers, both extremely reliable, simple to work on, and economical. Never let me down. Toyota good trucks too, not a Chevy
S10/Colorado fan, seem oddly engineered, tough access to simple maintenance items.
Times change as does the vehicle design. The way it was three years ago is not so great for the new model. It happens for all makes.
Just look at the reviews for the new Tundra. Once it was the best of all pickups. Not so much for this years model.
Both Tacoma and Tundra are following the classical practice which is make them pretty and ignore the details. American car companies followed that
method for a long time. The common rule is do not buy the first or even second year production after a major change.
I got a 2005 Tacoma (2nd Generation) which was the first year of the bigger Tacoma (now about the size of the first generation Tundra). It had some
issues (noise in front brakes and ABS issues, too soft suspension, air bag light cable fail) that my 2001 Tacoma didn't have (it didn't have any).
My good friend and my grand son both have the Gen 1 V8 Tundra. What a great truck. Neither have had significant issues. The size is about the same as
a Tacoma.
"My F350 eats Tacoma’s for breakfast “. That should get the ball rolling😎"
No this is wrong. It takes atleast two Tacoma's for an F-350 breakfest...
It is folly to buy a truck to compensate for your small penis size.
Your boat got stolen, you dont need the gas hog anymore. F350 rides like chit. Beating up your body with every bump in the road actually makes your
gut bigger and penis smaller, true that!

Its comparable price wise.

desided to buy a new4 door pick-up, primarily for traveling to and from Baja, but also alot of travel in general. we put about 70,000 miles per
year on our 2 vehicles.
I wanted comfort and smooth ride, but awd or 4wd absolute must. went in to the Toyota dealer all set to buy a tacoma, I loved its reputation, and
man does it hold resale value! . Boy was I disapointed. just sitting in it was awfull, very limited space in the rear seats, front seats squished
you into tight cubbies, didn't ride that great' it would be terrible on long road trips. I could not talk myself into it.
went to ford, F150 was nice, but had a pretty stiff ride, and the price was pretty stiff as well.
and on and on, for 2 weeks, dealer by dealer eliminating vehicles.
eventually went into Honda - walked out with an awd ridgeline I got for cheaper than the Tacoma, has a fantastic ride, loads of room front and back
seats, really neat 2 way tail gate plus lockable trunk. The thing checked all the boxes. so 2 months into it, just rolled over 9000 miles, and it
is absolutely fantastic. 23.8 - 25 mpg, rated to tow 6000 lbs, thats more than I tow.. I'd like it alot more, but my widfe took it away from me,
and kicked me into her old range rover.
I do fully understand that the Ridgeline does not come equiped with the artificial penis inflator, but as my wife pointed out, I really didn't need
that.

I would prefer that you not be interested in the size of my penis please
