Here are some complaints about the 4th gen Toyota Tacoma. There is only one thing I truly wish was different. All the other complaints are just small nitpicks that don't really matter to me.

After a few thousand miles with my 2025 4th gen Tacoma SR5, I wanted to lay out the handful of “complaints” people keep bringing up—and be clear about which ones actually matter to me. Most of this stuff is just nitpicks. The interior feels pretty plasticky and basic, and yeah, you can find a little movement in spots like the door handle if you start torquing on it, but I’m not buying an SR5 for luxury. I like simple, practical, good value, and this truck does the job.
I also talk about a couple tech/comfort things: my wireless CarPlay was cutting out every few minutes, so I switched to a wired connection and it’s been rock solid (plus it charges my phone). The backup camera works fine, but after driving a 2025 F-150, the Tacoma camera quality looks like DVD vs Blu-ray—still usable, just not impressive. Back seat space and interior storage are midsize-truck reality: doable, but not roomy.
My one real complaint is the fuel tank. The Tacoma’s 18.2-gallon tank just doesn’t give me the range I want. I’m the guy who wants to fill up and go as long as possible, and I really wish Toyota had squeezed in a couple more gallons—like a 21-gallon tank—to bump the range up without changing anything else.
