Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Smooth and powerful engine, very decent fuel mileage, capable off-roader, and comfortable
Cons: paper thin body panels, poor seat material, and the worst clock location possible
The Bottom Line: The Tacoma is stylish without looking gaudy and still retains a truck-like look. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It might be the perfect truck.
Well, here I am writing about a vehicle for the first time in my 15 year driving history. My '02 Tacoma 4x4 SR5 TRD 3.4L V6 is my eighth vehicle to date. I have had a mix of cars, trucks, and SUV's over the years. However, I believe my Tacoma to be ...

Pros: Fun to drive, comfortable seats, leaves you feeling good.
Cons: Truck ride, 4cyl could be more powerful
The Bottom Line: This truck is perfect if you don't want a full-size truck, but still want that good-truck feeling.
INTRODUCITON: A relative of mine recently bought a new 2002 Toyota Tacoma X-tra cab 4-cyl. It is gold, with the SR5 package, which adds a lot of chrome, to make it a nice looking little truck.
ENGINE:
Ah, the heart of the truck. It sounds...

The Bottom Line: So far, the Tacoma has been great. I'll keep you updated as I go along...
I have a 2002, manual, 4X4, V6, Extracab with the TRD package. I bought the truck used in 2003 with 5,000 miles on it and have only put 1,000 on since then. When I was researching this truck, I found the longitudinal reviews with numerous updates to ...

Pros: build quality, tradition of strength, option groups
Cons: emergency brake and clock locale.
The Bottom Line: I think I found a vehicle that will be in my family for a LONG while. Highly recommend!
After years of owning Honda Civics and Nissan Altimas, my wife and I decided to step up (no pun intended) to a truck. Here's our take on this vehicle.
I could not believe the ride quality over my Civic and my wife's fully optioned Altima GLE!...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Perfect for light work, doesn't hog gas, no vibrations, retains value
Cons: Poor handling around turns, extended cab is a waste, suspension very rigid, occasional wheel locking
The Bottom Line: I recommend this truck but be careful with the handling and don't waste money on the extended cab.
My father owns this truck, but I drove it for over a year. Aside from a problem with a certain 'cable' that completely messed up the acceleration and wasted a lot of gas (though I was still able to accumulate speed gradually) nothing has gone wrong. That ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great power, price, and good looks for a mini-size truck.
Cons: Clunky 5 spd and clock location
The Bottom Line: This is a great truck for the buy. It is big enough to do normal workloads and can get in garage with ease. Buy this truck if you want reliability.
So far I have 2500 miles on the truck and it has been a great experience. I purchased a 2002 xtra cab 4x4 with the sr5 package which includes the cd player, white faced gauges, v6 power, cruise control, bigger tires, and delay wipers. I looked at ...

Pros: power, comfort, ride.
Cons: 5' bed, clock position behind steering wheel, need some brighter color choices.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend. Good ride, plenty of power, comfortable interior with lots of amenities.
I really like this vehicle and enjoy driving it.
I've had my Tacoma for 5 weeks and have put 1500 miles on it. The ride is excellent, even with the off road package. I thought I would not like having the automatic transmission (manual not available), but it is actually very effective on or off road. ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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: Great looks, the V6 has good power. The truck handles and rides well.
Cons: Poor quality. Many rattles and creaks in the interior. Dealer unable to fix.
The Bottom Line: I would be very careful buying one. Request a written agreement that if these rattles develop that the dealer fix them or replace the unit.
I bought my 2002 Tacoma Prerunner Extra Cab V6 in June 2002. In the first 3 months it was in the dealers 8 times to fix various squeaks and rattles, and has been in three more times since then. The steering wheel had sharp plastic edges and the had to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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: Legendary Toyota build quality, good mileage, reliable.
Cons: Bad clock placement, short bed and lack of manual transmission.
The Bottom Line: I'd buy this truck again if Toyota imports a manual tranny. I recently saw where Nissan will have a manual transmission on the 2005 Frontier.
I bought the truck new in '03 and it has overall been great. I have since driven over 34,000 trouble-free miles in all climates, from snowy upper Ohio to humid south Florida. I needed a truck for light towing (trailer/motorcycle) and yard maintenance. I ...

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: Powerful
Cons: Small cab
The Bottom Line: I think it is an excellent truck for if you drive in rough terrain.
When I bought this truck, I got what I expected. I bought it for the ability to haul stuff in the back, and I can do that without worry. I bought it for the power, so I could get through rough terrain, and I can without a hassle. I haul logs in the back...
