Used 1996 Toyota Tacoma Consumer Reviews
Great little truck
Absolutely reliable, fun to drive, good gas mileage. I expect I will get another 10 years out of it, easily.
'96 Tacoma LX Xtra Cab 4WD 2.7L I4 5 spd
This is a great truck, I bought it used with 169,986 miles on it and it currently has 179,090 miles on it. I have the aluminum wheels with 30 inch. tires. The only thing I wish I had was the locking rear differental but I didn't buy it new or I would've opt for that. Since I've had it the only thing needed to be replaced was the cat. converter (which all vehicles need eventually) and a clutch (which replaced the original from factory @ 175,000 miles). This truck is a great truck for on and off roading. You can't go wrong with a Toyota.

Great Truck
I have owned my Tacoma LX 4x4 since '97 and put close to 60K miles on it. I recently had the AC compressor replaced, and that has been the only problem I have had. I have added a brush gaurd, roll bar, custom bumper and 33" wheels, and it really turns heads. A blast to drive both on and off road. I have definitely become a big Toyota Fan!
Bullet Proof to the End
This is my second small Yota pickup and it proves again that you can't go wrong in the reliability department with a Toyota. Needs a new clutch at 145K miles but other than brakes that is the only non routine maintainence I can remember in 12 years of ownership. One tune up and 2 brake jobs and 1 clutch in 12 years, can't beat that. It has never left me stranded.
96 Tacoma
I have had nothing but good luck with this vehicle, I'm just getting ready to do the 90,000 go through with this truck.
