5 Reasons Why 2017 Tacoma Is the Best Year!

[@chadallan3350]

Reason #6 Because its the one I have

[@icttrador]

Haha yes

[@ChicagoTacoBrianInPISC]

8.20.22 Just bought a 2017 SR5, without all the extras, with 62k miles on it, and I am stoked. In today's market I got a very good deal with an impeccable documented full maintenance report, and super clean inside and out. And anything I want to upgrade and add-on, won't break my bankroll over time, but as is, it has everything anyone would want, and drives smooth and tight. Great truck!

[@nativityinblack7443]

How much did you pay for it?

[@sol1120]

Yea , how many green backs bro?

[@charlesg328]

I have a 2017 Sport TRD. 5 years,not one issue,,,24 mpg on highway!! Truck runs awesome

[@lennylee6528]

How many miles on your taco?

[@ryoung6725]

Have owned 4 trucks in my lifetime to include Toyota, Nissan and Chevy. I have a 2017 Tacoma SR with a lot of mods, and it is the best truck I have ever driven and owned. Love my Taco!!

[@xxxxxxGUNZxxxxxx]

Love this review brother! Theres some haters out there on this truck but i just got my 2017 tacoma and i love this truck!! 💯👍🏽

[@tgatez3566]

Got me a 2017 manual trd offroad on kings, love it so much.

[@woohunter1]

My ‘19 has the auto braking feature because of the camera in the grill. I love the Toyota safety sense features, in my 80,000 miles I put on it so far, I’ll admit that it did save me once from rear-ending someone. (It was my own fault, long day of work after not sleeping well the night before and wasn’t as alert as I should have been, P.S., I’m human)

[@StealthTRD]

Yea same..he trippin..mine saved my ass a couple times

[@adamtaylor4298]

I bought last year a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport. I put 2 inch lift n 285 Renegade tires. It’s my first Tacoma but I used to own Dodge Ram , f150 n Silverado., they are all good truck. The Tacoma has only 21k miles n paid $30,500. I love driving it every day.

[@Zoovfam]

Looking for a tacoma to buy and I've been thinking about the 2017 tacomas too. Nice video!

[@lennylee6528]

I have a 17 Off road 6 speed it’s been good and reliable 💪🏾

[@AR47X420]

My Tacoma is a 2016, secretive if the 2.7 L four-cylinder. Ironclad engine. Most if not all of the reported issues are with the v6 drivetrain

[@dogg92]

And no power. What a slow boy you must be!

[@davidhenry8137]

Have a 2017 trd off-road 4x4 premium technology pkg bought it brand new, have had no issues yet. Love my truck, im at 70,000 miles. Toyota also gave me $5,000.00 off msrp.

[@saulmartinez6165]

This is an awesome video! I’m looking at a 2016-2018 Tacoma and this helps. I’m just unsure if to go with an SR5 or a TRD variant. Not sure if it’s worth it or not

[@HotZTrain]

I have a 2017 4x4 extended cab and I special ordered a manual 6 speed trans. Most of the issues with the 2017 are with the automatic trans.

[@GabrielGarcia-ci2cg]

2017 sr5 double cab gang. Single owner 63K miles. Love it

[@russellmorash3816]

I got a 2017 tacoma sr and after all these years I have to say I have had no problems just changed the oil on time like you I never buy the first year of a veicle when it's been re designed plus we got alot of little things double storage boxes in the bed a couple of extra cubby holes in the dash that I've heard people on the channels have mentioned a few other things

[@gilbertoesquivel9668]

2020 Taco 3rd gen owner here…No problems whatsoever…then again, mine rolled off the factory floor in February of 2020…before production was seriously affected by Covid 19

[@VieweronYouTube]

2020 has no recalls too and it's a pre-COVID year.

[@lbbradley55]

I see this Magnetic grey is the most popular color !

[@forsakenraptor4931]

Just got a 2017 sport trd 4x4 first one ever. It came with 2in lift but stock tires and wheels. Love your stance. Exactly what I want. How does it drive on highway and town. And what are you specs and brands?

I love my 2017 tacoma ❤

[@pabloamericano4930]

Was about to look into a 2016 used with 96k miles but this video made me rethink that. I beat the 2014 was the best year actually compared to the late 2010’s models.

[@larrybailey1896]

My Tacoma came with a cabin Fart censor to let me always be aware of my Methane Gas levels so not to thin the ozone layer when out driving ....My 2016 has been flawless.

[@frankfeng6199]

16 here with 120k miles, no problems, knock on wood

[@Aglassact77]

The first 3 years of gen 3 Tacomas have a plethora of issues. They’re still good vehicles and are more reliable than 1/2 of the other vehicles out there , but I’d still stay away from 16,17,18 years. Starting in 2019 they ironed out a lot of those issues. By 2020 they were golden. Best years: 2020 2021 2022 2023

[@kokopuff193]

what kind of issues did you face?

[@miguelatorres17]

Bro what size tires and rims are those? Nice truck man! I have a 2017 sr5 and it drives so nice just got it in 2022

[@The_Goon3r]

Thank you I appreciate that 🤙🏽 I’m running 35x12.50-18

[@jasonmckinney6444]

I’ve heard both the 2016 and the 2017 had the same problems. It took Toyota a couple of years to sort out those problems

[@AngelHernandez-wg5dh]

Because is the one you can afford and let me guess grey is your favorite best color

[@youngwang5959]

2017 white has famous paint issue , you should check JD power to see the other problem that 17 has.

[@lennylee6528]

Must be a hit or miss my ‘17 6 speed built in Texas has been great others I know with early model 3rd gens said the same thing

[@lennylee6528]

It’s a boring truck lol nothing fancy but it’s been through some nasty storms and handled great! It’s great in snow and I was surprised as hell I didn’t have not one hail dent or broken glass after getting stuck out in a brutal hail storm

[@coreygonzalez6890]

Yup, my 17’ white paint is peeling and Toyota won’t acknowledge it. Shame on Toyota🤬

[@TacoSyndicate]

I have a 2016 and have had no issues.

[@270eman]

Car care nut specifically stated that 2016, 2017, and 2018 all had issues. Its 2019 and up that it all gets fixed. 2016 was definitely the worst year though. After 2016 its just little minor issues. I think 2021 and up is the best years since you actually get a powered seat and all the technology like radar cruise control and a better screen. I just got a 2023 SR5 V6 4wd in Silver. Love it. You can disable the radar and collision stuff if you don't want it but I think its nice to have. I saw a tacoma review with 318,xxx miles and the radar stuff still worked fine. All original.

The 3rd Gen Taco has that iconic silhouette/shape, specially when lifted and levelled.. the 4th Gen, however, starting to look like a baby Tundra's.

[@sol1120]

Well Sir, there was one little thing u didn’t anticipate,and I do mean little- and that is that the new gen for 2024 is strictly 2.7 4 banger 🤮. Sorry Toyota, not me! Love my 2017 ! Anyone know how to delete the “too close “ sensor mentioned here?

[@cowboybebop8273]

I always thought too about how not to get the 1st year of any vehicle new features

What brand wheels do you have on your Tacoma I love them

[@The_Goon3r]

They are Fuel wheels

[@MrCivilwar1861]

Thanks so much!! I love them. Will check them out

[@jiroh8123]

I know you can't always trust the internet but every other source says the 2016 and 2017 are some of the worst in the reliability category

[@lennylee6528]

Don’t believe everything you hear from personal experience my 17 has been very reliable and I’ve only done oil changes tire rotations and changed a battery apparently I’m supposed to perform other maintenance stuff but being I’ve had to budget only done the basic stuff

I love my 2017. I hate the jbl radio thought. Wish I had wireless Apple play. Any suggestions to get that while keeping my factory radio?

[@drdddan121]

It’s entune that does the infotainment. I would upgrade to the entune 3.0 but you would also have to upgrade the amp to the subwoofer to be able to have CarPlay and keep it factory compatible

[@Rockinruffhouser]

@@drdddan121 can that be done through a software update?

[@dogg92]

Amazing the kind of new-fangled issues you kids find with vehicles. Like you can't just play a Spotify playlist or something. No, you need "Apple CarPlay" or whatever the fuck it's called. Hilarious!

Wrong, 2016 and 2017 models were affected models, you my friend just got caught lacking, you said never buy the first year of a new generation but the second year is never the best

I have a ‘17 v6 Taco with 35k miles. Recently cost me $6,400 to fix a small oil leak. It’s the third Taco I owned but it’ll be my last unfortunately.

[@TheReaper-gq8jz]

isn't 2017 the year with the known timing cover gasket leak AND the differential leak ANNDDD the 3rd taillight leak? lol

[@The_Goon3r]

The timing cover leak and 3rd brake light effects 2016-2019 Tacoma, not just 2017 models. I’ve also never heard of only 2017 Tacomas having differential leaks.

[@lennylee6528]

I got a ‘17 I thought had the recall reverse light leaking issue ended up being cracked wasn’t the seal so they changed the seals anyways and the plastic light and “labor” costed me $300 😤 other than that only things I’ve done is changed oil tire rotations and one battery I’m at 50,000 miles

[@lukepalmer325]

​@@pricekolby I'm sure! Jealous of y'all having two tacos! Supposedly 2019+ "more insulation, thicker side glass and a revised rear suspension" which made it queieter overall. The one thing I'll def give to the 2017, if a 4 banger, is the ability to have it be manual

[@pricekolby]

@@lukepalmer325 We own a small business, so the SR5 is going to be our company vehicle. I think it's funny that my TRD PRO has manual seats and the SR5 has power seats. My legs start hurting after a few hours of driving in the TRD. Also, I've notice that the SR5 doesn't hunt for gears as much. We just got it last Saturday, but I notices it right away.

Absolutely

I think so. Personally I went for the 6 cylinder and happy with that decision but the truck will last you forever 40k on this truck is very low mileage!
