Pros: Excellent package, cool looks, spacious, feels free
Cons: Ride, handling, suspension
The Bottom Line: Well, if you want to enjoy the ride, take the Toyota Stride - PreRunner - The path to a comfortable, stylish, but simple transport.
This truck is excellent! It is my very first truck and I love it so far. Though the ride (above 50 mph), it kind of vibrates a little more than my old '93 Mercury Tracer I traded in for it.
Other than that, the sound inside is good. I do...

Pros: Spacious, looks, tight Toyota quality
Cons: Ride, Handling
The Bottom Line: Overall, our family is really pleased with the truck/sedan. If your family is like ours, I believe you'll be also.
Our family of four was split on different style of transportations. Ladies in the family wanted a nice sedan with room enough for at least 4 adults. Our dad on the other-hand, wanted a truck so that he can haul big items time to time.
I didn't want...

Pros: Attractive styling (inside and out), Toyota reliability, price, usable bed and comfortable back seats
Cons: truck-like ride quality, front seats a little uncomfortable, smaller bed
The Bottom Line: Function over fashion. A very versatile truck with unconventional looks...but the looks will grow on you.
I just recently purchased my 2002 Double Cab SR5 and was amazed at how much space the rear seats have. I really wanted the 4Runner, however after picking myself up after seeing the price, I decided to get the next best thing. The Double Cab offers many...

Pros: Very nice looking truck, more room in back seat than my Honda Civic.
Cons: The gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: It is a must buy if you have a family or one on the way and need a truck in your life also.
We bought the truck to combine 2 vehicles, our Toyota Tacoma Extra Cab and our Honda Civic. We were tired of having 2 cars and 1 truck and with a new baby it took 30 minutes to get an infant seat into the Extra cab of the truck. We are so happy with...

Pros: Reliability, Styling, Resale Value
Cons: Ride, clock, no 5 speed??
The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable truck that seats 5 do not hesitate, go out and test drive this truck.
The Tacoma Quad Cab offers the best of both worlds. You can haul around your buddies or pickup a load of top soil for the yard. Everybody knows about Toyota's reliability so I won't sped much time on that. So far we have logged 13,000 miles on our...

Pros: 18 mpg combined, powerful (w/ the 6), kids are pretty safe in the back.
Cons: Inside tire spins while gunning into traffic
I bought a used 2002 Pre-runner last month for about $14,000. It's a double cab with a V-6 and lots of roof rack, gate extender, and other goodies. A smokin' deal--well, it has 107K miles put on it by a Texas auto parts store.
Look at the torque and hp specs. sometime and you will notice that the V-6 maxes out at 220Hp at 2200 rpm (or so). Blah, blah, blah--what that means is that this truck really has some guts in the lower end. Feels like an 8 until you get it revved too high when its 6 nature becomes apparent.
One thing. Even if you aren't thinking of going off road, please consider the TRD off road package. You really want a limited slip differential with this tourquey bugger.

2002 toyota tacoma 4wd sr5 TRD

Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: quality
Cons: valve ajustment at 60000 miles
I bought it new and now I have 40000 miles on it. I checked the brakes 2 days ago and happy the rear drums have two threaded removal holes, just put two metric bolts in and tighten equally. The rear drum pops off for inspection. My inspection revealed 6.5mm rear shoe lining and 8mm front pad lining I will check the brakes at 65000mi. I have added a full skid plate to it and taken it on rubicon 4wd trail also towed my jeep and hauled fire wood with it. It is QUALITY. I hope the new tundra is 3/4 ton, my 4 year old is little hard to lift into her backseat car seat without hitting her head.

Great truck after some modifications

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Toyota Reliability and value.
Cons: Cab noise is louder than most cars -- but then it is a truck.
There are a number of sites out there that have the specs and prices on this truck so I will not go into those details just to "fatten" this review. What I will write about is my own experience with this truck, which has been quite interesting.
Get the V6 engine, the 4-cylinder is way underpowered. Also, this truck only comes with automatic transmission, which was unacceptable for me -- so I put one in: http://junglecode.com/toyota/tacoma.
I also regretted not getting the 4WD, so I put those parts in too. The stock stereo is also quite weak, but is easily upgraded to a Scion MP3 unit that fits right in with no soldering. Note that these modifications did not require any welding, but they did require this:
