I've had a 2005 Ford Sport Trac w/V6 now for 197K miles and I LOVE this truck! Bought the 2017 Tacoma Sport 4x4 with ALL the bells and whistles........but someone forgot to put testicles in the engine, and you can hear every bit of the engine. Just seems like from a stop, to 35-40 MPH you hear what sounds like a high dollar industrial sewing machine. You would think by now Toyota would insulate the engine bay much better, (call Ford, they'll tell you how). and someone would've gotten the gear ratio right/better than what is being used today. Once you get past the 45 MPH mark, the truck glides nice...........it's just that low starting section and the lack of engine bay insulation. You guys make WAY too much money off of these trucks not to cheap out..........and don't wait until 2018 to fix it and act like the savior.........what are you gonna do to fix it NOW!!!!!!!!
Right now the dealer won't replace the truck only wants to repair, still trying to work w Toyota corp to get a new truck but they have had the truck so long it may get replaced under lemon law....
