 I find it hard to believe how many people have blind loyalty to these trucks. There are countless issues with them if you just look them up on forums and blogs. I have most of the problems people complain about: Drive line vibrations, brake shutter, wheel shutter, loud dashboard creaks and rattles. The whole truck shakes like crazy when I try to accelerate hard from a dead stop. The engine is chirping like there's a belt problem. The valves clatter when the water temp is cold. I practically have to wait for the water temp to get to normal running level before it stops. I love the truck and I want to keep it forever, but I get the feeling it either won't hold up or I'll grow to resent it.***Update:  It has been 4.5 years, 87,500 miles and not much has changed.  The belt noise wasn't the belt at all.  No one could figure it out.  Dealer charged me for belt replacement and when that didn't fix it, they tried to tell me it was the A/C compressor.   Not until I took the truck in for a recall to replace the catalytic converter did the noise go away.  Valves still clatter and click when cold.  Driveline vibration is just as bad if not worse and now I hear what I think are the u-joints chirping.  There's also a gear whine coming from powertrain.  Sound like the differential.  There's now mildew in the window guides on every door.  After a rain, it's putrid.   The windshield wipers started to howl like crazy.  They start relatively quiet, but when you drive a while in the rain they get louder and louder.   Been on my third set of different tires.  Different brand, different style and no tire store can balance the wheels.  I've isolated it to one wheel, but no one can figure it out because it shows balance.  Took the wheel off the truck and had it looked at for a possible bend or some sort of irregularity, but there's nothing wrong with it.  I remember having this problem within the first month of ownership.  Dealer kept the truck for weeks to figure it out.  One day they told me it was their machine.  Had to send it next door to Lexus for balance.  Problem was gone.  Next set of tires, same problem.  Live with it until the next set where I purchase very, very expensive, high quality Michelin's.  Same problem now a different wheel.  Took the truck to a vibration specialist.  They load balanced all the wheels at 80mph and the problem went away.  Ask the tech why this is so critical and why so expensive.  He says some vehicles are prone to it.  It's a characteristic of the car/truck.  It's expensive because there are only two places in town to get it done:  His place and Lexus.  Wow! it all makes sense now.  Point is: Toyota is well aware these trucks have issues, so why do anything about it?  They still have little competition.  Plus, they are riding on the coat tails of loyal customers, good word of mouth and long term reliability.  Well, all I can say is nothing else has broke on the truck so far, but I've own lots of cars past 150-200K miles and honestly, once you get past 100K, they tend to all hold up comparably.  I've had Honda, Kia, Chevy, Ford, Mitusbishi and VW.  The two cars I've had the fewest problems with and kept the longest?  Kia, Mitsubishi and Honda in order of most mileage.  Toyota in my opinion is nothing special.****UPDATEApproaching 120K miles and some of the chronic problems have grown worse.  Dive line vibrations are worsening.  Now there is no "sweet spot" with fuel tank level or payload to suppress it.  I tried new bearing shims and other aftermarket devices, remedies, shaft angle changes, etc and either no change or worse.  Next , I might try a drive line expert or beef up the rear suspension with leaf spring helpers, sway bars, etc.  I honestly don't recall noticing this vibration in the first year of ownership.  It was only after a TSB that it became apparent and slowly over time became worse.  A slight whine noise coming from the rear axle was noticed years ago.  Well, now that thing howls like wolf, but only when you reach cruising hwy speed.  Working for a power transmission company for decades has taught be that this sound is more than likely just gear mesh noise.  I suspect the gear geometry might be slightly prone to noise, but this very excitable chassis amplifies it.  Overall, my belief is that this truck is dependable overall, but chassis itself was designed mostly for off road capability and driveability is an afterthought.  Because of this, harmonics from other components in motion can be seriously intensified.  For a vehicle driven primarily on the highway, it can be frustrating.  I'm curious to know if that's why Tacoma reviews tend to brag about off road capability, while Nissan Frontier and Chevy Colorado reviews tend to hype up comfort and driveability.  It's a shame really.  Because, I feel on paper, the Tacoma has so much more potential in price, quality, styling, room, etc.  I just find it to uncomfortable for long trips.  It's just a bit better than a Jeep Wrangler.
