too many special tools required to work on it; visibility while driving can be a hazard; low quality materials and workmanship; planned obscolecense at its best: parts seem to be engineered to fail at specific intervals; toyota seems resistant to stand behind their products these days

My God truck

Mine is a standard 4 cyl. That said it is 4 wd, access seats, Tacoma. It has the additional tire flares and tinted windows. It is a sporty cool, looking truck. It is my God truck, as I asked God for all of the amenities. And an affordable price and payments. I did preface my prayer that I would prefer it not to be white, it is white :) He answered all and much more. I have never been let down by Toyota and once again I am very happy. If you are used to a 6 cylinder the 4 will take some getting used to. Great gas mileage.

2.7L, 4spA, 2wd access cab. Pros: low maintenance, comfortable seats, excellent fit and finish, smooth shifting transmission, roomy interior, durable. Cons: rear wheel bearings wore out at 20k miles! low seating position, spongy brake pedal, mediocre mpg @22 city, 23 highway, weak drivetrain and low GVW.

No More Fords For Me

After almost buying a 2009 F-150 4.6L, I decided upon the Tacoma. I was leery about the 150's fuel mileage, and checked many Tacoma Forums for their mileage assessments. That being said, I have NO regrets at all. The Tacoma, to me, rides like a car with the benefit of a truck. I owned two Ford Rangers previous to this purchase, and the difference is night and day. Interior is superb and luxurious compared to the Ranger's plain design. Seats are more comfortable but the seats are lower, which is the only dislike I have about this vehicle. I'd much prefer to sit up a bit higher. I feel a bit like driving a Miata with my legs out rather than in a normal sitting position.

My previous truck was a "plain vanilla" 1993 4-cyl 2-WD Toyota pickup, so this was quite an upgrade. Power windows! AC! Reviews describing as a car on the inside, truck on the outside are accurate. Enough power so far, and the auto tranny seems OK. A great all-around vehicle for driving and light hauling.
