Re: 1998 Toyota Tacoma-Rust to Vehicle's Frame [irvin1965]
It depends on: What they are offering you. How you've maintained your vehicle. What condition it's in for the next few yearts. My 1999 Tacoma ran great because I took great care of it. I had to have a GREAT deal to part with it, even in 2008 with 141,000 miles on it. I was very wary until I actually was told what they would pay me. Mine was part of ... Read More

Re: 2000 tacoma frame rust [jmack05]
jmack: The first thing is to find out if the Toyota program for Tacoma frame rust program is still in effect. Back when I sold them my 1999 Tacoma - in Sept. 2008, they were qualifying rusted Tacomas under two circumstances: 1. Surface rust had to be, in their estimation, in excess of their "standards". At the time their standards were they didn't want very much surface rust on any Tacoma ... Read More

2009 Was a big change for the tacomas, They added the downhill assist control and computer changes to the trans.(different shift points) 2008 would be the truck to have not the 2009 or new. When they change something, the screw it up. Never had problems before, so why the hell change it. Downhill assist control get rid of it Toyota, I don't need it.

Re: 1995 frame [bru5]
Bru5: It sounds like your Tacoma is covered by the 15 year extended rust warranty program Toyota instituted in Fall, 2008. Beginning March, 2008, Tacoma owners were notified to have thier 1995-2000 Tacomas inspected for frame rust. Toyota repaired or bought back about 10% of the 1995-2000 Tacomas having more frame rust than Toyota considered to be "acceptable". They offered and in many instances bought back trucks at 1 - 1/2 ... Read More

Howdy We had two Tacomas, a '98 (which is in the buyback process) and an '04.

The service manager mentioned that the 1.5 times KBB value will ONLY APPLY to someone who's owned their '95 ... Read More

I noticed that the 09 tacoma's are several hundred pounds heavier than the 08s I asked the dealer why and he said that toyota made some mods to the frame. I suspect they are now going after the rust. I guess the next campaign will be 2005 to 2008 Tacoma's?

2005 Tacoma with RUSTY FRAME

The 2005’s have the same problem. Toyota has not fixed the rusty frame problem.

Re: 08 taco lease [polyvw]
Hi polyvw. Toyota's lease program for the 2008 Tacoma varies by region. Toyota Financial Services' buy rate lease money factors for this truck vary from .00099 to .00196 for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier. TFS' current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for a 2008 Tacoma DualCab Prerunner V6 4WD is 68%. Unfortunately, this number is not very useful because unlike most banks TFS places ...

2006 nissan frontier
Well its a sad day! Maybe not sad, but I bought the 2006 nissan frontier loaded. You just can't seem to find 2.7 liter tacomas around here. Also, the dealers are asking and getting top $$$$ for them. What a bunch of mother f ers. It's so great that some dealerships are taking advantage of people who want another tacoma. They all know of that 1000 dollar loyality crap cert. Well, ... Read More

2008 Indianapolis Auto Show. I was looking at the 2008 Toyota Tacoma in it's most basic form. Toyota sells it as a 3 passenger truck, but I can't see fitting 3 people in it. I'd like to see the automatic shift back on the column so that a third person could actually fit in the single cab. Does anyone know if Toyota will bring back this configuration? I don't want/need an ... Read More

Interesting info on 2008 Trucks
Went to Toyota today and was talking to a sales rep and he informed me that the 2008 PreRunner no longer will have 4cy engines.Only 6cyl. Also the standard tacoma accsess/dc will no longer have v6 in them. Only 4cyl. Kind of sucks!...If you want a v6, you have to buy a PreRunner now. $$$$$$$$.......

I am in the process of turning in my 99 tacoma because of the frame. But, as I am looking at other vehicles, I don't see any I want to own. Does any one know if the Toyota frame problem has been fixed? If I buy a 2007 or 2008 tacoma, will I eventually have the same problem????

Re: whats a 2008 4x4 Tacoma going for? [tug_slug]
An 07 toyota access cab like you describe with power accessories and a few options wholesales used with average miles for about $17000. For a new 08 your target would be about 21000. A Nissan frontier extended cab is easily doable for less than this. A comparable 08 dodge dakota club cab with options is probably $17000-18000 or so with a lifetime powertrain warranty. The 20mpg trucks have sold with such ... Read More

Re: 98 Toyota Tacoma Truck - Frame Rotted before exhaust!!!!! [tmiller159]
Hark! Someone listens. Toyota admitted this flaw in this era of Tacomas. You can get the specifics here, but the gist is that the frames will be extended to 150K or so, and replaced or reparied at toyota expense. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/07/toyota-extends-rust-warranty-on-older-tacoma-- pickups-to-15-years/ similar statements have been cross-posted by others. I luckily have not had this problem yet.

Frame Rust
After reading the comments on here on frame rust, I took a long hard look at the frame on the demo 2008 Tacoma Crew Cab at my dealer (Ira). It has only been a demo since October 2007, but in this snowy, wet winter it already has lots of surface rust at the frame welds and box intersections. I showed this to the service tech and he said the rust alone ... Read More

Re: Buying Dilemma! [carnut21]
The Nissan should be a far better buy than the Toyota and you will also have a better truck. Since no Tacoma owners have chimed in, I guess they agree with you. Was there any upgrades/fixes on the 2008 Fronty that I shouldn't miss out on? Many thanks!

2008 Frontier review
2008 Frontier quote Truckin- All in all, the Frontier is easily one of the strongest contenders in the midsize class in my book.

Even with the Dodge Dakota offering an optional V8, and the Chevy Colorado about to, the 4.0L VQ engine provided ... Read More

Tacoma 4cyl
Is an automatic available on the 2007 or 2008 Tacoma 4cyl? I don't need a V6, and it's hard to drink coffee and drive a stick. ;) Does the 4cyl Tacoma's feel pretty peppy? I like my old Toyota, and would like another one. However, I'm afraid I'm going to have to jump to another brand if I can't get 4cyl and Auto. Thanks for any opinions.

Re: Price? [mzaiderman]
Hi mzaiderman. You never mentioned whether you are interested in the 2007 or the 2008 Tacoma. I suspect that the '07 models are mostly sold out at this point, so I will go with the '08. Unfortunately, Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on the '08 Tacoma in its Los Angeles region. As a result, if you were to lease one through Toyota Financial Services right now, you would ... Read More

Re: Toyota Tacoma: Lease Questions [sswen7]
You're very welcome, sswen7. Unfortunately, I do not believe that Toyota is providing lease support on the Tacoma in many areas right now. As a result, if you were to lease any Tacoma, 2007 or 2007 model, through Toyota Financial Services you would have to use its standard lease program. TFS' buy rate standard lease money factor may vary slightly by region, but it should probably be around .00285 for consumers ... Read More
