2000 Toyota Tacoma consumer reviews

I can't say enough good things about my Prerunner. Great mileage, very smooth ride, excellent handling on city streets or Inerstate highways.

I bought this truck new in 2000 and it had 3 miles. 17 years later, I have 282,437 miles and it's still running. I've maintained it and made sure, parts were replaced throughout the years. I can by a new one but I can't give my baby up. I believe this is the best truck built and I'm afraid I won't get another one like this one.

What I was looking for. Have to wait a few months to see how it performs. For my son to go back and forth to school

Reliable truck for business and commuting. Fuel efficient., dependable truck rain or shine. Never have stopped on me.

Toyotas have a good reputation for a reason. I bought this truck with 225k on it, it has 325k today. It's 4wd, V6, 5 speed manual. It's lifted and has a topper. I drive it to work everyday, but it goes everywhere, lots of road trips where we sleep in the back, and 4wd roads to off the beaten track campsites and trailheads. Its a solid truck in snow and mud, and on rough roads. The gas mileage isn't bad either.

Good mileage average. smooth ride with a double cab Only 38000 miles to date. Would recommend this truck for everyday use. Very stable

Best car I have ever had. I am looking to buy another truck if I could find an honest Dealer. It is a great work truck for a four banger.

This was the most reliable vehicle vehicle I have ever owned. Nothing breaks on these things! I had SR5 V6 extra cab 4WD. I owned it for 5 years and about 60k miles. The vehicle was great off road, got decent mileage, and never broke down. I drove it to work. I took long trips. I took it hunting. I towed my Jeep with it. I towed trailers full of firewood. It spent pretty much all winter in 4WD... I drove the heck out of this thing and it never missed a beat. All I did was change the oil every 5K miles and did the brakes at around 110k miles. Only bad thing was mine had the frame rust-thru...just a tiny little hole..probably would've been fine... except Toyota made me such a great offer to buy it back, I couldn't pass it up. They bought it back this spring for $120 less than I paid for it in the spring of 2004! I've since bought an old '99 Chevy Silverado 4WD. It was a basket case, but the price was right. I've already fixed several things on it and it's almost coming around to the point where I can trust it, but I still miss my Taco. :(

I like this truck. It is inexpensive and simple. More or less comfortable enough inside. But it is no frills too. The 2.4 liter engine is underpowered. Handling is nothing special. My problem with it is that I had to get a $3000 valve job at 5 yrs / 90k and have to get another one at 10 yrs / 140k. I bought a Toyota principally for their reputation for reliability. This seems excessive. If not for this, I would have given the truck 5 stars for reliability and value.

this vehicle is a small toyota tacoma pickup which I have owned now for two years.it has 44,000 original miles on the smallest 4 cylinder 5 speed they made in year 2000.It runs very well ,and looks even better .mileage is around 19-23 mpg on reg gas.driveability is average and the antilock breaks take longer than Iam used to to stop in a high speed emergency situation,although at speeds under 50 mph braking is less worrisome,and the truck is not carrying any heavy loading nor towing any trailers. the amenities of the driver consist of air conditioning ,heater, defroster..the heating and cooling capacities are far more than is needed and would work well in a cabin twice the cubic footage.the am fm cassette radio even with door speakers is increasingly difficult to hear at road speeds above 20 mph due to engine and wind noises,and above 50mph conversation with passengers also becomes very difficult. all considered plusses and minuses this little truck appears well put together it is rattle free at the present time but in 100,000 more miles we'll see. I use the pickup for road trips of less than 100 miles and put about 5-6-thousand miles per year on my vehicles carrying bicycles ,groceries camping gear .the miscelleanous things like instruments and controls are adequate and lacking any difficulties of operation.under hood inspection is well placed everything important is placed at hand and visually apparent at a glance.I do miss a night light under hood for those nightly pit stops at the local fill up.
