1995 Tacoma 4WD Xtra Cab V6
Bobs95, 06/27/2008
1995 Toyota Tacoma V6 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (3.4L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I have 135K on this truck and its still going very strong. I have cheated - I have always used Amsoil pure synthetic lubes, oil and air filters, so low wear is to be expected. But the fact that I've had very few other components fail is testimony to a quality design and the famous Toyota reliability. I've been 4-wheeling and camping and it goes everywhere I need it to. Recently I bought … a 4000 pound travel trailer and will likely step up to the V8 Tundra since this trailer is close to the limit of this Tacoma's towing capacity (5000 lbs). But it does tow economically - we just got back from a camping trip up into the high Sierras (6500 feet) and got 15 MPG on the trip towing the trailer.

1995 Toyota Tacoma 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.4L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I bought this truck new. Currently
has 282,000 miles. Each year I say I
am going to buy something new, but
everything, EVERYTHING, still works on
this truck. It still has the original
clutch, alt, starter, etc. Only has
oil and filter changes. I've grown
attatched to this vehilce.

1995 Toyota Tacoma V6 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (3.4L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M)
This was my first truck I have purchased on my own, when I was 18. Great truck!! It now has 270,000 miles and keeps on going. Things I had to replace or repair: U joint in drive shaft (80,000 miles & 120,000 mi), Powersteering pump (100,000 mi), starter (120,000 mi) and that's all that comes to mind. Right now, I do have a an oil leak, need to replace spark plugs more frequently … since there is an oil leak there too but the truck keeps running fine and it passed smog (CA is a big deal). The car, in my opinion is very reliable. Toyota trucks, compact size, are great cars!

I bought my truck brand new, almost 7
years ago. I want to buy another
Toyota but the one I own now is doing
so well that I hate to spend the money
on a new truck.
