Used 2007 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Consumer Reviews
Great Truck
I thought my wife's 2001 Acura TL was quick but the engine of this Tacoma is impressive when power is necessary. Very fast! Rides like a truck which I enjoy but is still very smooth and comfortable to travel. Decent room for passengers in the rear although a little tight if you have tall people up front. Very nice interior although I've noticed a tendency to inadvertently push the steering wheel radio controls during turns. Overall a great looking and great performing truck.
The smartest truck out there
It doesn't have as much hp as the frontier or ridgeline. However it tows more, has a higher payload rating and accelerates better than both of them. All the while it gets better gas mileage. Off road it is tough yet comfortable. The tacoma is the best compact truck out there period. It is expensive. You certainly get the value for what you are paying however a frontier becomes much more lucrative when it is $7k less.

You get what you pay for!
Its true, you get what you pay for. Every aspect of this truck is very near to perfect. Smooth, quick, quiet at hwy speeds, eye catching at every turn and just overall comfy. Be sure to test drive this truck prior to making your final purchase.
Poor Gas Mileage
The drive and ride on this vehicle is very good. The transmission shifts good and is smooth in shifting. The brakes seem to be very responsive and firm. After the fact of purchase I found out that the plugs needed to be changed every 15000 miles. I really find that unacceptable. I changed them and restored the gas mileage back in the 18-20 mpg range. The Tacoma needs the timing chain changed out at 100000 miles. I find that unacceptable. I bought this vehicle for low maintenance costs. I don't think this will happen.
Test drive sold it
Just purchased, but the test drive sold this vehicle. I was ready to buy the Frontier, a nicely-priced '07 "mgr.'s special" and decided I owed myself the test drive in the latest Taco. I have never owned either brand before. Traded a Sube, still have an old 318 Dakota. The Fronty was a good truck but this blew it away in my opinion. I greatly prefer the adult interior styling and the overall road feel. Power was excellent and felt more controlled in street conditions than brand N. A very sophisticated pickup truck. Did not want the fuel and complexity of 4WD, or cute lettering on the side, so took the straight 4x2 dbl cab with the l/b. Long bed rode better than the short.
