You can't buy a better truck

I have 4 Toyotas right now. I won't buy anything else. Resale is great and never any problems with any of mine. Those recalls were just Rocky Bama trying to sell more Dodges. There was never any problems.

Excellent Vehicle

I bought this truck new and now have 182,300 miles. I'm getting about 19 mpg overall with the V-6 and automatic. Up to now, normal maintenance except for a intake manifold gasket at 82,000 mi. This truck is very reliable and after all these miles, still uses no oil between changes (every 4000 mi.) It is also very easy on tires - 62,000 mi. original set, 87,000 mi.on second set, and have 37,000 on this set with many more to go. I would recommend this truck to anyone!

Tacoma

My 2001 Tacoma is a SR5 with 4 wheel drive and a supercharger option. Boy does it make a difference. I'm pulling around 300hp!!! I totally recommend.

Great Car OverAll

I bought this truck back in Jan. 2004 & have had for 4 years now. So far only had recall on catalytic converter which Toyota paid for under 70,000 powertrain warranty, had a max airflow sensor to go out cost about $400 but I consider that to be standard maintenance. Other than that good truck. The only thing is that with the V6 190hp it struggles to pull 16ft. fish/ski boat. Have to take it out of overdrive and waste alot of gas. But just for driving back and forth to work and carrying around wife and 2 kids it would be great. Also got a great deal on it and toyota really holds its value.

Real good truck

Change the oil on time, put in the middle grade gas, this truck will run forever. The only problems I've had with mine are that the paint on the front bumper is not very good, the bench seats are not comfortable at all and on my truck, there is no tachometer. My dad's 85 Ford festiva had a tachometer...come on toyota, do something.

I've owned this truck for 2 years & it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. It has 100,000+ miles on it & I've only had to change the oil, tires, shocks & other minor items.
