2013 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab TRD Sport

[MTtrout]

I had an 2013 off road package and really liked it. Drove the hell out of it in the mountains and desert with only basic maintenance ever needed. Traded it in for something bigger when car seats came along. Still miss it from time to time on narrow 2 track roads.

I bought it used for $28000 and traded it in 5 years later and the dealer sold it for $24500. I’m always amazed at the resale value they have. Although I don’t think the new owner would appreciate hearing the stories I put that truck through

I’ve got one, double cab 6 ft bed. Only configuration you couldn’t get a manual transmission, at the time, hate the auto transmission. Fuggin Toyota… 145k miles, no issues. Seats suck and the mileage is meh. Take care of it and it’ll take care of you.

Nice truck for sure. Problems in those years……

Wheel bearings
Paint
Temp Sensor
Some AC units failed.

Had a 1994 model. Should’ve never sold it. Great pickups.

I loved mine, I owned it from 15 until last spring. Ran flawlessly. Oil changes, new battery and a set of plugs at 95k. No issues at all.

Mileage absolutely sucked. 17 mpg was the best I've ever got.

I had a 14’ with 33’s (e rated) and a winch bumper and usually got about 16mpg average. I have given up on good fuel mileage, I just got a new one, and with slightly bigger tires (basically 33’s) it gets similar fuel mileage, the only one I got decent mileage on was my 18’ which got close to 20mpg with e rated tires

Midsize pickups don’t get good fuel mileage, my zr2 got around 16 as well. Midsize pickups have been pretty much all I drive, and none have been fuel efficient… the gen 3 taco has been the best in that category

My current 24 taco seems to get the best fuel mileage in sport mode, which is kinda ironic. Putting heavy tires on them has a measurable impact on fuel economy, but I don’t have a choice, it’s either that or flats constantly

A couple years ago I ordered some e rated ko2’s for my zr2, got 2 flats the first month and was wondering what was up, double checked my tires and they messed up and ordered c rated. They did replace them for free at least

As for my 14’ taco trd off-road, it was a great pickup while I had it, it had about 140k when I traded it in and oil changes and tires were the only thing I had to do to it. All of my tacos have been great. My 98’ broke a leaf spring, but I think it was warrantied, besides that, I don’t think I’ve done anything but basic maintenance on any of them, and have never had one get me stranded… hopefully the gen 4 is same
