After 30,000km's and its second winter:
Suspension is excessively soft, and bouncy. It drove like a sports car when I first got it, but now it bounces like a 20year old farm truck. I think the extreme cold may have been a factor (a week of -50C), as I never overloaded it.
I love this truck.
It's never let me down, and performs wonderfully for a small truck. Has loads of power. (A cold air K&N intake made this more apparent.)
It's a little annoying having the suspension so weak, but warranty should fix that next month, then it will be back to normal. Anyone else with this problem?
The six speed transmission shifts with ease, and has a short throw from gear to gear.
It doesn't quite have the visibility my Honda Civic did, but it's still a lot better then most.
I wish the 4 door, long box (6ft) was available with the manual transmission.
The factory tires it came with were substandard, but easily fixed with some Nitto's or Yokohama's.
All in all a great truck, although a little let down by the suspension.
I also have a 2007 Tacoma TRD Sport with towing package. Also have been thru two winters, including one week of -50C. Suspension is also very soft and the truck bottoms out a lot under normal driving conditions. very annoying and disappointing.
