    I'm 6'1 and I have the 2018 TRD Pro. The driving position is definitely an acquired taste. I bought the truck blind because it's impossible to test drive these things just like a Raptor. When I sat in it for the first time, it felt like I was WAY too high up with barely any headroom. Anyway, I've had the truck for 6 months now and love every bit of it. Like I said, you eventually get used to these minor "quirks".

I’m averaging 20-22 MPG, high performance was 26 on a trip between Chattanooga and Owensboro KY and back. I did not get a sunroof as it takes about 2 inches or so away from the headroom. I own a horse farm - on a river - and I find the 4 WD capability very impressive. I do use the truck around our farm and I genuinely appreciate the footprint of this truck as it is easy to maneuver around my river trails. I own quite a few vehicles and I must say this little truck is very impressive and fits my needs well.

    It's pretty funny how Toyota designed the transmission in the 3rd gen Tacoma to be more passive in order for better fuel economy. Yet somehow, it manages to get worse fuel economy than the 2nd gen Tacoma with the bigger 4.0L engine and way more responsive transmission.
    I love Toyota, but in all honesty, that "love" is beginning to fade pretty quickly.
    Their low-tech and inconsiderate approach to everything is REALLY starting to show.

    @hfwilkesjr 5 лет назад +1

    I owned a 91 Toyota pickup (before they called it a Taco) and the driving position was exactly as you’ve describe on the new one. I absolutely loved it, it reminded me of how high I was off the ground without the roof being too high. I also like the light steering, it’s not a sports car. My current favorite is the Jeep Renegade concept pickup from a few years back, a close second is the that baby blue two door Jeep concept (the four door is way too long), and the Taco is third. In a few years I expect to be on the market for a small pickup, hopefully by then someone will have an small electric pickup, not hybrid, just electric motor & batteries, like our old RC cars.....simple. Thanks for a great review gentlemen 🍺

    I own a 2019 TRD Pro and I actually like the Desert Air Intake. I feel like it gives it character, plus the airbox is sealed with a one-way valve that I would assume is decent at preventing water intrusion (not about to test that theory though). I'm 5' 10" and fit in the truck just fine, but headroom is a bit tight.
    Really my only complaint is that ancient transmission, but you learn to live with it in favor of an otherwise great truck. I love mine and can't recommend enough for anyone even remotely interested in offroading.

Once I mastered the move it is not a big deal for me. Overall I think it is a reasonably refined, nice truck to drive on a daily basis. It is not without its gripes, and I drive the 6 MT so I do not have to worry about the automatic gear hunting issues.

    I really wanted to like the Tacoma, it’s my favorite looking small truck. I took it for a test drive and had the same problem, my hair is on the headliner and my legs were up in an awkward position. I also couldn’t get in without hitting the steering wheel. It was such a let down knowing I can’t fit in it.

One thing I don't like is the loud engine noise when climbing up hill. It is a lot more noisier than my previous 2005 Taco TRD. Over all it is a very beautiful Sport TRD truck and love it.

    I’m 6’1” but have the benefit of longer legs, shorter torso. I have a 17 TRD Pro so no sun roof which is also a benefit. Just fine. I love my truck. It’s definitely cramped when packed full of people. But typically it’s just me or 1 additional passenger so it works great. The truck gets better with age. I wanted something that felt like an old truck so it fits the description. This years updates should address a lot of the issues you brought up. But I definitely am a Raptor first kind’ve guy as well. This was a great step in that direction.

    I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with the Double Cab and Short Bed in manual. I am 6'1" and my seating position feels okay to me. I think it is particularly due to not having a moon roof so I have an extra inch or two of head room. I am also used to the lower seating position because I came from a 2013 VW Golf R which also felt like I was sitting on the floor.
    Beyond that, I am also glad I got the manual because I see everyone online complain about the automatic transmission. I just wish I had gone with the TRD Off-road trim instead of the sport so I could be rocking Bilstein shocks and a locking rear differential. Just means I'll have to go after market on those once I'm done paying off my loan.

      Agree, 5 speed auto in my FJ is lame too 😂 super reliable though! I think that's where the slow shifts and gear hunting comes from, no need for smooth shifting that rides out the clutch packs, and holding gears making it tough on the engine. Also no point for more than 6 gears, they're built to be a rugged off-roader after all 🤷

    I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma access Cab TRD sport 4x4 4.0L V6 with 15x,xxx miles. The truck has been great, reliable, useful. My only complaint with the truck is the seating position. It isn't awkward seating position. I have seen on the new 2020 Tacoma the seats are now 10-way power adjustable to fix the seating position.

    I’ve got a 2017 Tacoma, bought it brand new. Now I’ve got 70,000 miles. Never felt that the seating position was bad. Wish it was electric adjustable, and wish it could be adjusted up and down, but really not as bad as many reviews say.
    I’m also someone that comes from owning a 2017 Camaro SS, 2016 Ram 2500 diesel, 2014 Honda Accord, 2012 Toyota Prius. I’ve gone through a lot of vehicles.
    It’s a great truck that holds value really well, if you care about re-sale value. Transmission could be better, that’s for sure. Although after the trans flash and update, it’s been better!

    I'm somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11 - I dont feel cramped or have any problems at all! I'm always surprised to hear the complaints that people have . But considering the number of people who have complained I must be in the minority... Although the truck definitely needs more power and that transmission needs to be tamed. I put the 93 octane OVtune on my truck and the transmission was remapped- so it shifts like a normal vehicle, and power at the crank is now somewhere around 320 HP and 320 ftlbs!

      Toyota designs their vehicles like they do, so they last. Build the truck to handle 500hp, put only 278hp into it. Won't break. Unlike others, design for 500hp, put 550hp into it. Toyota has a history of being conservative when it comes to new tech, as they want their stuff to survive their vigorous testing. Just look at the other trucks out there and their reliability, it shows.
