This little truck is perfect in every way. Nothing I don't need, no power anything, except steering and brakes. Seriously peppy five speed consistently lays down patches of tire when I need to go fast. Plenty of room to change the oil. Super easy to replace the brakes. And after 100,000 miles haven't really had to do anything else. Oh yea, a couple sets of tires:) I get better gas milage than my wife's new Subaru, can haul just about anything in a rust free, unbreakable bed, and the stock stereo still booms after 15 years. My black paint is even still shiny! Thanks Toyota, you have made me proud.

I have only had this truck a short time but have already put 3000 miles on it and am averaging 24 mpg. with a 4wd. vehicle. The truck just seems to be getting more power and is probably the most powerful 4 cyl. truck I have ever driven!!

While the truck does have towing capacity that is all it has, but it can't even do that at high speeds. Heck a golf cart can pull something, it just can't do it with any speed and neither can my Toyota truck. Gas milage is average for a truck. The interior is small compared to Mazda and Nissan. Also not very comfortable. Road noise is very loud. The body metal is even thinner than before and the vehicle can be dented just by leaning on it. Everything on a Toyota is an extra option costing you more money to upgrade. Toyota is relying on its name and reputation to sell there product instead of giving the customer options. I'm getting rid of my Toyota and getting a Nissan.
