Good little work horse

I've owned my Tacoma for just about a year now and other than having to put a radiator and Vacuum Switching Valve, it has given me zero issues. Gets right around 22 MPG and doesn't cost much to fill up. My only regrets are that it's not a 4 door and it's 2WD.

One of BEST 4X4's lifted and stock

I enjoy Toyota Tacoma's because of their simplicity, style, and reliable performance. The customized lift and sound system make this an amazingly fun truck.

Reliable & Capable

Comfortable, reliable, capable vehicle. The 4.7 moves the vehicle well & despite it's weight & construction, it actually handles way better than a body on frame truck-style SUV should.

The best vehicle I've ever owned. I Love It!!

The cost of these are fairly expensive. Buy it!! You won't be sorry. This truck will last forever. Mine has just over 242,000 miles and has never failed to start or get me where I need to go. It has the 3.4 liter V6 with an automatic transmission. Neither has given me a second of problems. I've had most of the recommended services completed when they became due and that's it. The body has held up very well. It finally has started getting a bit of rust on it, but nothing like the Toyota Trucks of many years ago. Except for the service items, tires, and brakes, everything is still factory equipment. Even the exhaust is original and still going fine. When it comes down to the original cost vs the value I received in return, I almost feel that I still owe Toyota.

I will NEVER sell this truck

I bought this truck as a Certified Used Vehicle from a dealer. I am on my 3rd set of tires and have only done minimal repairs and regular maintenance. This truck is never being sold. I will drive it until it won't move.
