Hi everyone, just purchased an new 2020 Tacoma TRD OR in Quicksand three weeks ago, this is my 8 Toyota pickup, the first being a 1987 Turbo pickup in Tan. I purchased the truck now, because I wanted Quicksand. I had to drive about 750 miles to get the truck. I do like my Toyota trucks.
With this being my 8 Toyota pickup, I can say that I think Toyota is not building trucks good as the past, little stuff. Toyota pickups have always been simple and built to handle whatever I could throw at it. The truck rides and drives great, MPG is good, it has got sone nice stuff on it, love the weather map. Really I am a bit disappointed in the little stuff, no mud flaps, Toyota pickups without that 4x4 on them, just wrong. No place to put my gas cap while I filling the truck, WTF. Already been in for the radio problems and having to go back in and also the information system not working correctly. Not being able to select a gear in sport mode and hold that gear until I choose a different gear. No storage in the front doors. A spare tire that can be rotated in, but not a matching wheel. No remote start, winters are cold in the mountains. Left side storage in the bed no longer included. Are the needle bearings really that bad, had a dealer wanted to change them out before delivery?
I will make this truck mine and move forward. Many of my complaints I can corrected and I will work to make it better, just alittle disappointed in Toyota. I plan for this truck to be as strong as my pass Toyota’s. Picture of my last Toyota pickup, sold it to a good friend, need more seats. So I went to SUVs, a JKUR and then a Lexus GX470 (lifted & off road ready) and time to get back to a pickup.
