Used 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB (3.4L 6cyl naturally aspired 5M) Consumer Reviews
Great 4-wheeler and commuter truck
I've tested my truck on 4-wheel roads up in Colorado each of the last 5 summers. It's handles the worst roads up there like a champ and doesn't appear to be affected by high elevation at all (unlike my Fords - boo, hiss!!). It's also my commuter car here in town and has been incredibly reliable. The tight body construction is terrific, especially considering the off-roading I've done (careful offroading, though - I don't bounce it all over the place).
Tacoma 4X4
Overall it is a very reliable vehicle. Except for routine maintenence, it has not had any major problems or repairs. For a V6, it has enough pep, but being a truck, it isn't geared like a sports car either. I sold my Camry when I bought this Tacoma, and have no regrets. Sure, it doesn't ride like the Camry, but then again, I don't expect it to!

1998 Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4
I really like it. I do with the interior was more "exciting" as its really blah. And the cup holders are in wierd positions. Strong V6. I've towed and hauled with it and experience was great.
Love this truck!!!
My Truck is great, Very reliabily. It tows my boat, my 6x12 Trailer with atv's and I've never had a problem..If your looking for a truck with good gas mileage, great looks and will get you about anywhere, then the tacoma is for you......
Great example of Toyota quality
I bought my truck at 73k miles. It now has 168,300 and runs just as well as it did the day I bought it. I did however have a major breakdown at 90k miles. The tensioner arm pulley and the water pump pulley had both frozen up. The fix which included a new OEM waterpump, timing belt, thermostat, tensioner pulley and radiator fluid cost me over $700. Fortunately this is a non interference engine so there was no further damage. Aside from this one problem the truck has run flawlessly. I get better than expected gas mileage (22MPG average, mostly highway)The window sticker says 16 city, 19 highway but Ive never seen numbers that low out of my truck.
