2007 Toyota Tacoma
This year drew 540 complaints against a median of 185 across the Toyota Tacoma's other years, 2.9× that median. No single fault was reported unusually often, and it did not reach the 2.5× threshold this site flags at. It has 10 recalls, listed below.
Generation 1 of the Toyota Tacoma, which began in 2005 and ran to 2015. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Toyota Tacoma was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
