Several people on here have commented that they had their fluid level checked, found that it was low and once it was filled to the proper level that the issues with surging went away.
Im thinking the problem is in the transmission, because you dont hear of people with manual tranny Tacomas complaining about this.
As far as what I was trying to prove, I was proving that the Tacoma can indeed do, "real truck stuff". You know, such as hauling a bedload of firewood. I'll make sure I take pics next summer when I haul firewood with my '08 Tacoma and I'll make sure I take pics in the winter of '08/'09 when I haul my snowmobile with my Tacoma. That way we all can see beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Tacoma can indeed do, "real truck stuff".
Also, about the "tinfoil" tailgates, if I remember correctly Toyota fixed that problem on the '06 Tacomas by adding more braces to the inside of the tailgate.
You are right, the Tacomas do have some issues. I dont recall anyone ever saying the Tacoma is perfect.
