2017 Toyota Tacoma - Review and Road Test

Thanks to an almost competitive-free environment, the Toyota Tacoma has dominated the midsize truck segment for nearly a decade. But the Tacoma now faces some stiff competition in the form of two new trucks from GM. So, does the third-generation Tacoma have what it takes to fend off segment newcomers?

[@sdlausen1]

I'm pretty sure this Tacoma will still be on the road 20 years from now without any issues. Can't say i'd trust the Colorado/Canyon with that longevity.

[@vesterlettucetoke3037]

+Soren Lausen You're 100% correct and hold their value more than that Chevy garbage.

[@snooplikesbacon]

+Vester Lettucetoke that's why the Canyon and colorado have the 3rd and 4th highest resale value of 2016? right behind the Tacoma and 4 runner. reliability means nothing if you haven't changed the truck in 10 years

[@sdlausen1]

+snooplikesbacon New vehicles always hold their value when demand is high and first introduced. I guarantee you the same model year Tacoma will hold twice the value 8 years from now. Also, if Toyota hasn't changed the design of the Tacoma in 10 years and it's still the number selling mid size truck, what does that tell you?

[@snooplikesbacon]

+Soren Lausen that people had no other choice but to buy the Taco. if you do regular maintenance then reliability isn't an issue, there are no "unreliable" vehicles sold anymore except maybe the Germans. but hey if you like drum brakes. plastic beds and rusting frames then go for the Tacoma that gets worse fuel economy, less towing and slower. and they also look like the pigs from angry birds lol.

[@snooplikesbacon]

+Soren Lausen before the twins came out the only other option was a frontier. what would you pick? the Tacoma has nothing on the twins right now. but that's all you Toyota guys do is play the reliability line everytime but their vehicles are the most boring you can buy.

[@rebelliouslegacy]

I love my 2017 Tacoma! I’ve had it since March of 2017. And I can tell you as a guy that has had two trucks prior, I love it!

[@NG-mj4iq]

Just picked up a 2017 with 45k on it a few weeks ago! Have you had any issues ? This is my first one

[@barsaf9989]

Just hope you guys didn't get white on the 2017 models 😉

[@rebelliouslegacy]

@@barsaf9989 Nah, I have an orange one.

[@danielrn133]

I had a 2010 double cab TRD Sport. This "new" Tacoma has the EXACT same cab with a "refresh". Look at it..they bolted on a new front and bed to the exact same cab...which is still made for someone 5'3. One thing...when I soled it I in 2015 I got 90% back what I paid for it...I private sold it and could not believe how much I got back. The resale is insane.

[@randycupp2133]

Toyota does maintain amazing re-sale value. I do agree though. They had ten years to improve on the design. They could have done so much better!

[@sk00sh]

I'm 6'4" and there is PLENTY of head room in this truck!

[@DirtNassty]

Probably because you don't have a sunroof... That saves a cple inches of headroom

[@Shakerhood69]

Being able to get a Manual Transmission is one of many reasons to pick it over the GM Twins.

[@julianayala8073]

+Shakerhood69 it does come with and manual transmission option

[@Shakerhood69]

+The Unknown The GM Twins only offer a Manual in the base model 2 wheel drive model, whereas the Toyota can be had with a Manual in 4x2 and 4x4 models.

[@julianayala8073]

ok thanks for the info

[@Shakerhood69]

No Problem

[@Shakerhood69]

+Xentenon I just bought my 3rd new Tacoma in 15 years, all have been V6 Manual 4x4s, you are correct in saying they don't shift like a sportscar but its a Truck. First 2 Tacoma's were bulletproof and a bonus on top of that is what they were worth at trade in.

[@Acc0rd79]

Damn, that blue is on point! I love it:)

[@uk7769]

16 MPG is exactly what I got in my 2008 V6 4.0 Taco. Day in day out. Solid. You don't buy it for the mileage, you buy it because it is an unmatched pickup truck in it's segment, and off road capability bone stock even in the 2WD. Full size all time best PU in history: F150. Smaller undisputed all time best PU in history: Toyota Tacoma.

[@symmetry08]

Why power adjustable seat is so important? Most, people, will adjusted and go. It's add price and unnecessary weight.

[@1amino224]

+symmetry08 It has nothing to do with being lazy. It's because manual seats provide far less adjustability. And it's pathetic that a $30,000+ truck doesn't even offer power seats.

[@old2470]

+symmetry08 1. It is important to have it when you don't like the price the car you like someone wants to sell it to you. 2. It make drivers feel special - most cars are having just driver seat with power. 3. I would ask for power seat with memory - to not have to adjust whenever another driver drive my car before - not for power seat IF I would ask for one. Bottom line, a power seat is a nice addition for ego, but was never a deal breaker when PMW (price-make-wallet) were in sink.

[@synysterXsteve]

agreed. my last few vehicles haven't had power adjustable seats, barely ever notice. I'm the vehicles only driver, so I set it when I buy it, and never worry about it. manual adjustments are more reliable anyway. :)

[@dampendamp1441]

+Draven Olary It takes more time to figure out to use these things than does a manual adjustment. Easier is always better.

[@wtrdogg20]

Leave the power adjustable seats to delicate people.... I only expect to see that in luxury cars... I personally dont like them, they take longer to get a stupid seat adjusted than with regular manual levers...

[@DonaldV8]

Not really a fan of midsize pickups, but the new redesign of the Tacoma does look menacing. I like it.

[@mitchypoo117]

For everyone mislead by this video, I've put 35k miles on my 2017 Tacoma trd off road. In reality expect to get about 20-24mpg average. Never seen less than 18mpg. You can hear how wound up the engine is in a few clips. If you're lighting up the tires, doing doughnuts in the sand, and driving with a lead foot expect 16mpg like these guys.

[@richnichols9135]

Yes, KBB are misleading on gas mileage. They quote 18 city/20 hwy for the Tacoma, it's 24 Hwy. They quote 25 mpg combined for the Colorado - it's actually 25 mpg Hwy, 20 mpg combined. They should at least present the correct facts. I have a 17 with 32k miles and also average 20-24 mpg, high on highway of 28.5 mpg.

[@techjdu]

Same here, I've never seen under 20.

[@parkerdalo3248]

I believe on the Colorado/Canyon you cannot get a trim level without the plastic air liner on the bottom, which is bad for offroad. I'd say if you want a great offroad midsize get the Tacoma with the V6, if you want a commute/towing midsize get the diesel GM twins.

[@randyr6610]

[@joshuathomas8529]

I am 6 foot 2 I recently test drove a 2017 manual transmission Tacoma and loved it. The only thing I did not like was when pushing the clutch my toe was pushing about have way up the clutch pedal bar not on the pedal. I love how a rear facing car seat fits perfectly in the center back seat making it so you don't have to move the driver or passanger seats to fit.

[@BigOsTaco]

I love my 17 TRD Sport. I added a power lock to the tailgate which comes in handy to lock and unlock with the key fob. Even made a video on how to do it. What I don't like is the MPG. My city MGPs 14 MPG. I really dont do highway since I only do city driving. But 14 isn't that great. Other than that love my truck.

[@Newtonian_Law]

Great review! :)

[@Dirtydunton]

That is actually an honest review

[@ACLTony]

Looks like a cool, sweet running truck and I see many of them on the road. Only thing that bugs me a bit is that even the regular Tacoma's sit a bit high. If I got one, I'd like to lower it back down to the level of the late 1990s Tacoma SR5, but then the catch would be that Toyota would void the factory warranty.

[@MrCTBurke1]

The MT and full size bed is great for off road and camping. As well as a blast to drive.

[@johnarmlovesguam]

I've had Ford and Chevy. Both good but my Toyota is great:)

[@samjose8182]

I’m 5 foot 10, I went to look at the Tacoma today. I managed to convince my self of the truck and the tight driver space. Then I wanted to check the room for anyone riding behind me and it was practically impossible for me to get in the back seat. So I adjusted the driver seat position, guess what, it was just impossible for me to hop onto the driver seat. I was hitting the roof line and the steering wheel and just could not get into the truck. It’s crazy how Toyota can get away with such designs. Other confusing features in the Tacoma were things like keyless entry only work on driver door. There is no arm rest for back passengers. There is no sunroof unless you go high end limited trim. Sales man kept arguing, the truck is purposely designed with inconsistent features to make it distinctive and special......and guess what the engine is a GDI, I bet no one new that. I love Toyota but they are always 15 years behind. Yes very reliable but boring to death. Other manufacturers have improved their reliability and if you are keeping your vehicle for say 7 years, who cares about reliability and paying a premium for a boring Toyota. Toyota designers need a wake up call.

[@jetninjamonkey]

That fuel economy would drive me right into a full size truck.

[@michaelchen1459]

+jet79637 i thought that way too, but for me, the Tacoma is a smaller more versatile truck. Smaller and more manuverable, and even a few MPG improvement for less trips to the gas station. For offroad purposes, It can hang with the Jeeps and FJ's out on the hard and more narrow trails that your full size wouldn't even fit through. All in all a better everyday truck.

[@LVang152]

My Tundra get 18mpg if you don't show off the v8.

[@michaelchen1459]

+Goliath X the Colorado and canyon also have a stop sale issued right now for a possible fatal air bag recall. they're not allowed to sell anymore until the units affected are repaired properly for sale. and they're looking into ways to get current owners in asap to fix the issue. air bag won't deploy fast enough in a high speed collision so you would essentially face plant into the steering wheel and dash.

[@michaelchen1459]

***** lol why so hostile all of a sudden? I merely stated that there was a stop sale recall on the gm twins. all that immature name calling is not something I'm interested in. so I will stick with my taco thanks. tacos are quite yummy specially with some rusty frame recalls going on. thanks for participating

[@guyproulx1660]

+Goliath X who gives a shit, anyone with half a brain knows the Taco will shit all over that POS lol

[@dennisprice6119]

i love the tacomas dash layout. the air vents are a bit small but they still pass a impressive amount of air. just wish my 6 foot 6 ass could fit in it

[@scott0551]

After you went off road the front end alignment was off?

[@rowdytitan]

I drove one today (Texas edition crew cab 4wd auto transmission). Off the bat I felt like it had no power down low, not until roughly 4k rpm. The new v6 feels and sounds a little coarse at high rpm. The interior was vastly improved and the ride quality remained about the same. In comparison, the ancient Nissan Frontier V6 felt much stronger down low. Not sure why Toyota didn't offer rear disc brakes on it either.

[@erizzle67]

My mpg experience is a little different. I got one a week ago, 2 wheel drive 6-cyl access cab, getting 22mpg 90% in town driving. Going very easy on the throttle, mostly. Also when buying it seemed - at least on the price tags on the trucks on the dealer lot - each major "upgrade" was about $3k (between the access and double cabs for example). I got the access vs. double because it really wasn't all that much more room because the double cab seats are much larger and I wanted the longer bed. The double cab seats were definitely more comfortable though! Note on the access cab you can't roll down the rear side windows.

[@Shakerhood69]

@GoliathX, I did not "need" to replace them, I usually keep my Trucks for 7 or 8 years before buying a new one. I had a 2000, 2008, and then 2015, so its really 2 Trucks in that 15 years as I am using #3 now.

[@conantdog]

Recently consumer reports did not recommend the Toyota Tacoma because of reliability. I was shocked. I was also shocked to find out that you can't get a power seat in this truck !!! WTH

[@kilokato]

Just be honest, the new 6-speed automatic transmission in the new Tacoma is possibly the worst transmission Toyota has ever put in a truck. It constantly up-shifts and then only to down-shift on the slightest incline or any slight acceleration. It has practically caused me to hate driving my 2016 4x4 Access Cab.

[@shepherdofelo1122]

The 6 speed manual transmission is miles better. Get a tune, it'll help you tremendously.

[@MusicLover-ti6zo]

I am glad that you guys gave a non-biased review and not a bunch of Taco fanboys gushing over the truck. The Tacoma interior is ugly and the engine still lacks power, if Toyota would incorporated some of the Toyota Hilux styling into the Tacoma then it would be #1 for sure. The Hilux is a good looking, comfortable truck. I would pay the extra price for 2.8L diesel Colorado and it has a more comfortable ride, nicer interior, loads of torque for towing, and excellent gas mileage.

[@guyproulx1660]

+Goliath X when the twins were first introduced you said the same thing about the nail in the coffin but sales proved you wrong yet again lol

[@guyproulx1660]

***** GM must love rear drums, they were buying small Japanese pickups back in the 70's and rebadging them as their own LMAO, remember the Chevy Luv,, did your mommy own a Chevy Luv Goliath? LMAO, doesn't GM own plants in Mexico assembling Silerra's with parts from China LMAO

[@MothRetra]

He mentions that the steering "misaligns in both of our test vehicles." I think he may say this twice. If this means that mild off-road use knocks the steering out of whack and will require an alignment due to something bending is highly worrisome. Or does he simply mean that steering becomes loose and sloppy at higher speeds? Comment from KBB would be appreciated.

[@MrMraggies1996]

Which truck would you recommend. A Tacoma or a Canyon? I am a single man. I have a 2000 Ranger and I'm ready to buy a new truck.

[@alyx2yonde301]

[@R777-RLM]

I've had two Tacomas and liked them both, mainly their reliability, but I now have a 2008 Nissan Frontier, I've had no problems, I'm 6 feet tall and have about 4 inches above my head, the seats have a soft velour like centers, and unlike Tacoma, you can have a beige interior which includes the dashboard and steering wheel. New Tacoma's are dark inside with a black dashboard except the little patch on the passenger side, and only on higher models. Also I have a real, FULL WIDTH FRONT BUMPER. In my 1997 Tacoma while off roading, the frame twisted and the bed dented the back of the cab. I love Toyota's but for the high prices of these trucks, their should be more no price increase variety in options like there were in the Nissan.

[@trevorc5477]

+ron mortensen toyotas are pricey, i wont deny it. but later on down the road youre likely to get most of that money back

[@R777-RLM]

+Trevor C I don't deny that they are great vehicles, but everything including colors, are extra priced options on new Toyota's. On my 97 and 2000 Tacoma's, you could have a grey or beige interior, and any exterior color, except specialty colors on any model.

[@trevorc5477]

+ron mortensen I've built about every combo of colors on toyotas site and there are no upcharges, sometimes it bumps the price up because to get that color it has to add option. The system to build them is based off of current supply in your area

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Can you get the manual transmission with the V6? According to the Toyota website and KBB, it only comes with the 4-cylinder. However, the manual supposedly only comes with 2wd, but according to one poster you can get it with 4wd.

[@bintarosector9]

GMC twins are catching up with their resale value at 68% after 5 years vs Tacoma's 72% after 5 years

[@NGMonocrom]

You can put down key-less start as another disadvantage. Worse than useless, it can cause your truck not to recognize your keyfob for a number of moronic reasons. Thus, leaving you stranded wherever you happen to be. Even if it's the middle of nowhere because you wanted to do some off-roading during your days off from work.

[@ChandlerCharityTV]

Same thing can happen with a Keyfob. That's why cars with passive entry AND cars with Keyless entry can both be stolen via a device that copies their transmission. Only the Keyfob does it when you press the button, and has a much smaller battery. HOWEVER, God help you when the push button start breaks, that's hella expensive.

[@NGMonocrom]

You missed the main point. Yes, both types can be broken into. However, key-less start can leave you stranded for no reason at all. Back in 2007 in America, a show came out on one of the cable channels called "Speeders." Reality show about people getting pulled over for speeding. Ironically it was a bit entertaining. One episode had a young, obnoxious woman in a Nissan SUV. She was pulled over, and was quite rude to the officer. Once he ticketed her, she went to turn on her vehicle (Key-less, push button, start).... and literally nothing happened. She then became super nice and sweet towards the officer who was still there. Asked him to help her. He was having none of it. He told her to dial information for the nearest tow company, and then he left. No way in the world am I getting stranded because I push a button and my car decides "Nope! I don't feel like starting up for you." This is an issue that simply does not happen with a traditional car keyfob.

[@ChandlerCharityTV]

Hold up, I was a dumbass. I forgot the Push Button Start must recognize a separate transmitted code for it to start... My apologies, you're correct about it stranding you.

[@NGMonocrom]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Getting possibly stranded due to the vehicle not recognizing a transmitted code is just a headache I'd rather not deal with.

[@MrNuggetface]

No power seat means the old men will be freaking out.

[@old2470]

[@old2470]

As an old time buyer, I will tell you that 'no power seat, no deal' it means I am looking for an excuse to not pay what you ask. Not that I can't use the seat 'as is'.

[@budcargeorge]

Nice Video but I don't like that the truck got 4 inches longer, no mention on that. Wish it had gotten smaller, I would pay a premium for a midsize size for a smaller truck. Hopefully the Ridgeline will be smaller, have AWD good clearance a decent box and a comparable suspension. 4 wheel steering is needed on the quad cabs.

[@mextijuas5]

you rigth, but that length did not increase interior space. same rear legroom as the old model, the front of the car got longer which to keep it looks like a long nose and it makes the truck look week.

[@danripp8917]

Had a 2017 tacoma trd off road. It will barely get over 20mpg hwy real world. If your over 6ft you won’t be comfortable in this truck. Sitting positions are horrible. Back seats like always isn’t made for people. Those back seats are like a last resort. I moved on to a 2017 trd off road 4Runner. I avg the same gas mileage like almost identical on my daily runs. The 4Runner if it had the push to start/passive keyless would be perfect. The power delivery in the 4.0 is way better than the Tacoma’s new 3.5. I also thought the 4Runner transmission was smoother. I love the looks of the Tacoma but once I got to know it. It wasn’t the truck for me.

+ebuff57 Drum brakes are used in the tacoma because it's frequently used for offroading, and having disk brakes, the brakes have the tendency to get dirty and clot up compared to drum brakes which remain closed and clean. I've test driven one, and it's braking was fantastic. Can't tell it's drum brakes in the back.

Seems odd though. Since Toyota's 4 Runner has 4 wheel discs.

Does the driver seat move in height

[@JUKEBOXX1990]

More power yet slower then the 2nd gen.

Steering out of alignment after one off-road visit...

[@freewayninja4065]

+Joshua C Lol, I face the same thing with my 3rd Gen 4runner

[@charredskeleton]

I wonder when Nissan gets back in the game with a US Navara.

Head room and rear seat room is what kills me on this truck otherwise I'd buy it. I have kids and need a decent size backseat plus Im 6'2. The Tacoma just feels tight inside which in a pick up truck, even in a mid sized, it shouldnt.

[@Lifesrad8]

damn good looking and cost friendly truck but to damn bad in 6'4" tight as shit in cab.

[@juanvelez5699]

what is the difference between the Trd sport and Trd pro???

[@alyx2yonde301]

Juan Velez spelling sir

[@JMotorCity]

Somebody got lean.

[@nathantribble7599]

I would rather have a key

TEST DROVE BOTH THE V6 WAS A CHORE TO DRIVE UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS , COARSE ACCELERATION, AND WALLOWY SUSPENSION FEEL. THE 4 CYLINDER WAS MORE COMFORTABLE, PLUS ACCELERATION WAS SMOOTHER EVEN THOUGH MERGING ONTO FREEWAY COULD USE MORE HORSE POWER...

[@nikond-vp9wt]

toyota great

[@XxNiGaLocZxX]

JBL... i prefer Bose over JBL any day. My opinion, i prefer Colorado.

[@alyx2yonde301]

Raul Martinez me too but still bought a tacoma,

[@UltimateCARNUT]

steering out of alignment after some mild off roading??? wtf.... on that note alone i rather have a frontier pro-4x. I have a 2008 nissan xterra 4x4 which ive beat the hell out of off road. Including some jumps in the sand dunes... steering is still as straight as the day it came out of the dealership.

[@catdieselpower193]

my 2015 TRD OFF ROAD TACOMA 6spd manual 4.0 v6 will easily fit me in it and I'm 6.3 lol and it will chew up! And spit that Colorado out the tail pipe off road! and I am a chevy man to!! but fact is fact! folks but I do like that Colorado DURAMAX nice dam truck my freind has one but he just laughs when I say let's go to the hills lol because he knows he will spend all day being pulled out by my TACOMA! ;-)

[@balkee42]

Fix the shitty mpg!!!
