    I've got the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro which was an upgrade option in the latter part of that year. I did a ton of research on all years and I came to the conclusion that the 2015 was the Tacoma year I wanted. I lucked out and found mine 250 miles away at an Audi dealership. I have since upgraded it with an overlanding build. I absolutely love it. I'm fairly certain I won't like another truck in my life like this one. My therapist says that's probably too early to tell, but she drives a Ford. So.....quack.

    I recently got a red 2015 with 58,000 miles, it’s a beauty for sure. SR5 4WD with the tow package. I only wish it was an off-road trim with manual, however where I live manual Tacomas are very rare, regardless of generation. It’s a great balance between a classic and simple vehicle, while still being new enough and having a relatively good safety rating.

    I'm a long time Toyota truck customer dating all the way back to when they didn't have a model name or trim, simply called Toyota pick-up. Bought my first truck in 1985 and traded about every five to seven years. Next a 1994 that I traded in 2001 for the new first Gen Pre-Runner SR5 double cab, then traded it in 2006 for 2nd Gen 06 Pre-Runner Double Cab 4.0 6 cyl 5spd automatic. In 2010 traded for my current 2010 Pre-Runner Access Cab 4cyl 5spd mnl, religiously, keeping up scheduled maintenance on every one of them and never any costly repairs on any. My current truck has 200600 miles has been completely trouble free having only had right front wheel baring assembly replaced. Currently waiting for my new 2022 SR5 to arrive in a couple weeks. By the way this time, I'll be keeping my 2010 for the loyal trouble-free service it's provided and for the manual transmission. If you take care of them, they'll take care of you.

  • @vinr6867
    @vinr6867 2 роки тому +12

    I bought a 2010 with 47k miles, 4.0L, 2wd. Have 61k miles on it now and has been very pleasant to drive, light and nimble, trouble free miles. I recommend full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles and drain and fill the tranny at 50k miles, do this every 10-15k miles until you've done this process 4 times since you can only get 3quarts out of the drain fills each time you do it.

A recall where Toyota replace the leaf springs for free, that's it. I was going to trade it in for 2024 Trail Hunter, until I was informed there is a 2 to 3 year waiting list.

    It got 12 quarts! I did fill and drain, i change regulary the engine oil every 5000 miles.
    And i changed the coolant in radiator and changed also the air filter. :)

I take IT off road, drive it EVERYWHERE, NEVER GOT STUCK. I've also NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY TACOMA which is powered BY a 4.0 liter V-6 engine which is SUPER POWERFUL and VERY FAST.

Of course my 2020 is worth a lot more than what I paid for as it only has 4900 miles on it. But Im not trading her in...put a lot in on mods and of course the regear. Shes awesome now because the regear she shifts so smooth and no hunting...but i did love that 2012.

      @@johnnyrebel3340 oh didnt mean to give u the impression she doesnt run well...she does. Its the pairing of the engine and gear ratios that cause a lot of gear hunting. As far as taking a loss...my Toyotas have kept their value...I didnt think my 2012 would bring nearly as much as it did and right now my 2020 is worth 8 more grand than what I paid for it (which was Jan 2020 right before the Covid crap set in. So right now she actually could make money for me but wouldnt trade her. Shes got the mods that I want and shes tuned perfectly, smooth and seamless shifting on hills etc.
      I normally would say never buy new...but the 2012 was brand new and it was a little overpriced but thats the area around here but she more than compensated for that when I did trade her in. Now I did buy one new Ford 2004 F150 4x4...and lordy talk about depreciation! But everybody is pretty much happy right now with what they are they are getting trade in wise. I just wouldn't buy anything with the way the market is now. I just lucked out getting mine when I did.

    I bought my 15 taco new off the lot. 140k mi and just as tight as day one. I have kept up on maintenance as the truck is designed to do so. Super easy dyi from regular engine oil, power steering fluid, Trans fluid and coolent replacement.

  • @newttella1043
    @newttella1043 Рік тому +6

    Generally the last two years of any model/generation of a vehicle are the most reliable. With Tacoma having an unusually long run with each generation (10 years!), it's a sure bet to be good in it's final years.

    I had a 2007 extra cab v6 6 sp manual & loved it. Had 20" wheels with Yokohama tires& drove it like a sports car. Traded it for a 2013 4dr long bed auto V6 that now has 140,000 mi on it and once again...no issues. The auto trans is fine, no hunting gears, gas mileage is 20 to 23 MPG , no rust issues but I did opt for the Diamond coat which I also did with the 07 and I recommend that as I have never waxed (either one) and they always look good after running thru a BRUSHLESS car wash. My wife has had a couple of Camrys and they both racked up more than 280,000 mi no issues. Toyotas rule!

That being said, I’ve driven the truck (from San Diego) to; Phoenix (x3), Las Vegas, Humboldt Redwood State Park (x2) and Portland, Oregon (x3). It’s my daily driver…. oh, and I worked part time delivering pizza with Dominos for two and a half years. Thing is a beast. Added a Snugtop Rebel camper shell last year and fell in love with the truck all over again.

    I've got a 2013 double cab pre runner with 128k miles. I'm thinking I want to upgrade to the 4x4 TRD off road double cab in a few years, but honestly I love my truck. It's smooth and feels great to drive. It's actually not that bad on insurance pricing, and it feels quality. Mine is a bit cosmetically lacking but overall it's nice in magnetic metallic gray. I mainly bought it because my anxiety about the Nissan cvt I had in my daily before. I didn't want to get stuck with a 4k repair bill over Nissan quality being garbage. My only complaints are how much a tank of gas cost and a new set of 265/70/16 all terrains are.

    I’m about to buy a 2015 Tacoma SR5 from my sister who’s husband passed. Back than I told him to get a Toyota after a string of Dodges. This gives me confidence I’m buying a great truck for sure. Originally I was getting the truck cleaned up to help sell it for my sister. I own a Ram 2500 diesel and it seemed kinda small. Driving the truck got me used to it being small, but not a mini truck size like I had when I was a teenager. After owning this truck for 16 years I was ready for something simpler and cheaper to maintain. I look forward to owning this truck!

    Those sound like solid years. I believe somewhere down the road our 2020’s will be considered in the same light. Also, not sure where these Odyssey stories originated have heard it before, we have owned two. 2007 and 2010. Both well over 200,000 miles only maintenance required - standard stuff and timing belts. Only other repairs were the brakes. Honda brakes tend to be their weak spot.

The one thing I liked about it was that it was like a grandpa truck. Hasn’t been beat to shit, was in great condition. Was traded in by an older Asian man the dealer said. He went with a newer model tacoma. But the one thing I liked about it was it was very basic. No big bells and whistles and crazy lifts. I’m very happy with my truck 4 months down the road so far

    Hey Rob, thanks for sharing this video! I purchased a 2013 Taco with 100k on it and had numerous issues. The alternator, front calipers, brakes and rotors, one idler pulley, serpentine belt, and rotted out transmission lines! It seems to be losing coolant with no evidence as yet. Maybe this is all normal, but it has left a bad taste in my mouth! I live in the rust belt and the body is in really nice shape, but the frame and all the other components have heavy rust scaling. It doesn't have much initial start out power and the transmission constantly shift up and down. So, if you have any info or comments, please share them with me! Thanks for listening and I look forward to more videos from you!
