    I Lemon Lawed my 24' Tacoma, and they just bought it back on January 17th. By far, the worst paint and finish on any new vehicle I've bought. Not to mention, these Toyotas have a major design flaw. First, they widened the stance. Then, they limited covering the tire tread by tapering the fenders and flares. Their splash guards are tapered, too. So, the design leads to basically sandblasting your truck. From various road or trail debris! It's worse when the vehicle is in 4WD or you own a Limited with AWD. When I talked to the Toyota Rep, they knew there were problems. However, they didn't think they would be this bad. They offered me another Tacoma, but I declined. Seventeen times at the dealership in less than 5 months. With 1,782 miles! No thanks, it's time to move on. What's it going to look like at 3 to 5 years? Didn't want to find out!!!!!

I am looking to replace my Silverado when I look at Tacoma TRD off road it was nearly 64K. And people complaining about engine cylinders are literally blow hards. All the Ecoboost variants are more popular than the Coyote. Soon the PowerBoost will become a more popular option than the Coyote. Buyers care about performance and driveability than cylinders.

    Recently rented a Tacoma Off Road base spec in Northern California...here are my thoughts...cheap interior...way too much plastic. Seats comfortable for a short trip...after 1+ hrs in traffic I was dying, couldn't wait to get out of the truck. Non Hybrid engine was ok but felt very underwhelming, no character. Infotainment system...seriously they need to outsource this to a tech company because they really don't know how to make a good UI. I liked the styling and the new dimensions but just feel like they went cheap everywhere. Was looking forward to this launch and was ready to buy but the value isn't there for the price points. The SR version you test drove is a $32K truck not $42K...If they want to charge those prices then need to refine the interior, get rid of the plastic and offer a different powertrain.
