Freon is leaking out of the A/C compressor, but, I just roll the windows down if I need air. I have taken the truck to the mechanic and they can't find a leak in the compressor or the lines. The mechanic says it could be the evaporator coil in the dash.
The truck is extremely reliable. I am sure if I had the coil fixed it would be great. Other than that, the truck is awesome. Just like everything else Toyota builds, it lasts. The 2.4L 4 cylinder is very powerful for city driving, but if you have 2WD and going up a hill, it takes a little extra effort. If Toyota could put a little more equipment standard (which they are working on and I still commend them) would be a good thing. If Toyota seems expensive Nissan is a good truck to consider.
People I know who own Tacomas have less problems than those people I know who have Mazdas, Nissans, Dodges, Fords and Chevys.
I don't think this truck has a coil. it has direct ignition.
