The only mechanical breakdown I had with this truck was one failed fuel injector and a failed O2 sensor.

I love this truck. The only thing that I wish that I had known before buying this truck was that if you are going up hill against the wind there will be problems. Not enough power with the 4 cyl. Next Tacoma I get will definitely be a 6.

Purchase my 1998 Tacoma Limited 4x4 extended cab manual V6 new right off the Toyota showroom floor. It has 184,000 miles and runs just like the day I bought it. Never had a problem with it mechanically. I would say it’s been the perfect truck for me. Always offers to buy it.
