Used 2010 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Consumer Reviews
Way more than expected!
First off, I got a truck because I was sick of driving a small sedan and wanted the utility a truck offers. I am amazed at how quiet the ride is and how smooth it drives. Totally unexpected. Fuel economy is just what I expected at about 18.5 to 19.5. Of course I wanted 30, but it's a truck! Plenty of power and a very comfortable ride. I now don't mind my commute every day.
The truck that my wife picked out
We bought the truck new 11 years ago. It has 46,500 miles on it. We have been very satisfied with it.

Gen 2 Taco is the way to go!
A mid-year 2nd Generation Tacoma is the best for stable, reliable technology and comfort. The extra 4" width is a noticeable improvement. I really wanted to avoid the mammoth screen in the center dash too, since this would be an off-roading/ family camping vehicle. The 2010 I bought had a single-din stereo and a two-way radio already installed, in addition to some off-road improvements. Watch out for 3 major recalls in 2nd Gen Tacos: frame rust, rear leaf springs, and air bags... but if those aren't needed, these trucks are awesome! Update: 3 years later, this thing is still awesome. This is a VERY capable offroad/overland camping vehicle. Reliability has been fantastic. I have kept up with planned maintenance and had no major repairs, despite frequent mid-distance offroad trips (not extreme rock crawling much... primarily "remote area camping"). These are really good trucks... I see why they hold value like they do.

Solid fit and finish
Researched for a long time. What a solid and refined vehicle. All plastic matches and doesn't squeak. Comfortable and smooth ride. Sits high enough without realizing it's a truck. Nice interior. Great storage and convertible seating. Versatility without being too big.
Fun to drive!
I have clocked about 1000 miles so far. I thoroughly enjoy the ride and it is a LOT of fun. I bought a locking lid for the back and can fit bicycles, golf clubs, beach chairs, etc. in the back with no worries. 4 doors up front allow me to carry 4 adults comfortably. I looked at a few SUVs but realized I would be forced to fold the seats down for my recreation equipment thereby limiting passenger convenience; garage limitations prevent me from getting a behemoth SUV. I LOVE the manual transmission and this is a great truck for my weekend "adventures". I picked it up in February and it was fun to drive in the snow we got in the north east.
