This is my first Tacoma (and following up a bad Chevy experience). Overall I am happy with the truck, it shifts smoothly, has power to go when needed, and it has the options I wanted.

bought this 6 speed 6 cyl used. first thing i noticed was the rough ride and road noise. then checked gas mileage and it got an amazing 14 mpg ( highway) then was changing front differential fluid and found holes in the frame from rust! now there is rust on tailgate rocker panels! toyota replaced frame but acted like it was going to bankrup them so unprofessional. also have had to replace fuel pump 3 times. so i advise to stay away from the 2008 tacoma!!! UPDATE: this truck has rusted very bad frame was replaced by toyota on recall. rocker panels also rusted out. the 4.0 v6 gets only about 15 mpg on highway and 1o town driving. ( 6sd trans.) it has always rode rough even on smooth roads. every time 4x4 is engaged it usually takes several minutes to get it out of 4x4 mode. (very aggravating ) bumper brackets also rusted out and one day while pulling a small trailer the bumper fell off with trailer attached. my advice is to stay away from the 08 tacoma!

The 4 cyl does all I need it to do and more. It's been up and down the mountains, through tough places, hauls loads, pulls moderate trailers and just keeps going without problems. The first truck I've owned that gets better MPG than the window sticker. Rarely less than 20 and rarely more than 23 MPG.
Why won’t you die?

236,000 miles and going strong with nearly NO pricey repairs. I’ve even gotten used to the annoyance of no intermittent wiper action. Come on, Toyota. The frame is original. The local dealer has inspected it, padding it each time. But there’s a section I’m worried about since it is obviously weak. It is flaking like mica. Long trips are not recommended unless you want a sore body. Consumer Reports, those suburban Connecticut snobs, have been wrong about this bullet-proof small truck. I’d like to acquire a new vehicle—but why? Like the movie V for Vendetta, I ask my 2.7 litre five-speed manual, “Why won’t you die?”

Nice truck,but toyota won't fix the rear springs in the truck till they brake.call the 1-800 number and received a letter about the springs.they know it's a problem but will not do anything about it.Had a recall on the frame because of rust,it's was painted by toyota.I have had like 4 things that were recalled by toyota .but not the rear springs.not sure what my next truck will be.
