Capable & Unique, yet lacking in some areas

Wednesday, April 22, 2026

Moved from 03 4runner to 23 SR5 3.5 V6 Tacoma. I love how this truck looks and feels honestly, could be more comfortable but that's the only area its lacking, the comfort. What I like : Unique look , durable , reliable, easy to work on & use, moddable. What I don't like : Bit uncomfortable & speakers are cheap , i replaced them easily. Interior is somehow squished and tight, but what I like about it is how simple and straightforward everything is. Mechanically also very simple to work on. I replaced speakers and door panels come right off if done right. Transmission feels weird sometimes, it takes a good second to get a response but overall I would say its fine with me. Ive done some long trips with heavy payload and uphill V6 struggled a bit but rest felt fine, truck actually felt planted with weight in the bed and the back seat. I also listed durable because I was rear ended on the red light and bumper ate the damage, i barely felt it while car that rear ended me was total. Over the course of 3 years I have not done anything but basic maintenance. Still looks like new, I am planning to keep Taco until I have big family and we can't fit in it anymore.

Bumpy ride on city Streets

The Tacoma is an uncomfortable ride on San Antonio, Texas Streets. It does have an excellent electrical system. A/C is not bad either.

The best truck l have owned.

I purchased this truck new. It has proven to be what I need. It does get dirty in dry seasons. We own farms, Hay, Corn. Winter time we hunt. I can pull a trailer with equipment on it. It has never failed me. I've pulled Chevrolet and Ford pickups out of mud. My son got stuck in a field on the North side of the field. The shade had kept the mud frozen. He backed up to drop some corn for the Deer and his truck became stuck. He has a Ford 250 Diesel, four door. Loaded, heavy. He called me.... I backed up to his truck, put it in low-4-wheel, turned the Creep crawl on about two-mph and turned it loose. I'm not even sure my truck spun. No trucks muddy that day. I love my truck!

Everything about the 2023 Toyota Tacoma v6 trd sport is very nice except for us tall people. I've learned to duck before getting in. And the steering column does Not go up down, just telescopic. Other than that we've enjoyed the power of the V6, the ride and the head room comfortibility!
