The best vehicle I've ever owned.

It does just about everything you could ever want a vehicle to do. Super reliable, has never let me down. Everyone needs to own a Tacoma at some point in their life.

Totally satisfied with my purchase.

This vehicle was exactly what I was looking for. It met my needs for a reliable used vehicle. I was looking for a reasonably priced vehicle with reasonably low mileage. I found what I was looking for at Jarrett Scott Ford.

Solid, dependable mid size truck

Bought new: Access Cab, 4x4, V6, 6 foot bed,auto trans, Towing package. just the truck I needed for a little work and alot of fun. Has been very reliable and trouble free. Dash board is old school, no high tech infotainment screen, just basic am/fm/CD sound system, Excellent towing capacity , plenty of power, comfortable ride, even for a long trip. Fuel consumption is OK, not excellent. Recomended service interval (oil change, ect) is 5000 miles. I plan on keeping this truck for many more years.

The best truck on the planet

The Tacoma is, hands down, the most well built truck in its class. For a 'small truck', it does more than one might think. It handles better than most cars I've driven, and makes light work of the harshest winter conditions. Also, I have spent very little money maintaining the vehicle. It seems like it becomes more mechanically sound the longer I own it. I Definitely will be a Toyota owner for life, preferably a Tacoma owner.

Excellent truck in a class of its own

Truck was extremely well taken care of and Who is in brand new condition had no qualms about buying a Tacoma in this condition was 97,000 miles I have no doubt it will go well over 200,000

Rugged truck

Nice for off-roading. Real reliable truck. Best truck I’ve owned. The only problem is the space but love the power it has. Would definitely recommend!!

Awesome truck,Most reliable truck ever owned!

Plenty of leg room, very reliable, good tow rating for a 2 wheel drive. Canopy and cargo room is great for carrying more than enough camping or tailgating gear!
