Good Solid Truck

For the last 10+ years I've owned nothing but Chevy Ext Cabs. This truck stacks up well against it. The V6 is amazingly nimble and if towing isn't a consideration then the V6 is an obvious choice.The Chevy's ride smoother but not by much. The Toyota is the quietest truck I've ever driven, I'm sure the undercoating has a lot to do with it. I decided to go with the Toyota for the simple reasons of reliability and resale values, not to mention it's a very nice looking truck. I'm very pleased with the truck so far and am still amazed at the Power the V6 has.It will be hard to give this truck up. I think Chevrolet has lost a customer.

First truck I have owned. I needed a truck to assist in the rebuilding of my property in New Orleans. Great price and incentives from the factory. Should have gotten the four door model for $1000.00 more. Well you live and learn. Truck came with front bench seat. Captains chairs with center console would have been a better choice.

Because it was such a beast to park, we traded our 2004 Tundra crew cab for a new Frontier but later missed the cushy Tundra ride. Several weeks ago we purchased a 2006 Access Cab with only 12,800 miles. It has the very comfortable captain's chairs with the short console. What a pleasure to take a trip in this baby. I was leary of getting the V-6 but the 5 speed automatic is programmed to work very well with this engine. Every power option works as a Toyota is expected to work. Even the back seats are large enough for small adults or grandchildren. This is a "real truck" without the bulk of other full size brands or the bounce of the smaller trucks.

I bought this truck new in 2006. It has an oil leak that was suppose to be fixed under warranty. I never received a notice and the dealer conveniently waited until after the warranty to run out to inform me? I never got it fixed and the leak has not gotten any worse. I have never done anything but change the oil, two front break jobs, replaced the Rack and Pinion boots, they were cracked, changed the plugs twice, had the automatic transmission fluid changed at 100K. . Other than that it has been a stealer pickup. Easy to work on so far and always reliable. I would not trade it for a new one. I pull a 3400 lb. pop up camper with it. Have pulled the pop up with it about 20K with no problems what so ever. Update 3/13/2021. Just put in new KYB shocks on the front struts, replaced the stabilizer bar mounts. Replaced the rear shocks. Replaced the u-joints. Amazing ride, just like new. Only problem is I took it in for an airbag recall and they screwed up my vent system. The dealer will not fix their screw up???? So I will have to tear into it. Update 3/15/2023. No problems what so ever. 180,000 miles. I bought a 20 ton press at Harbor freight. I pressed in new front wheel bearings, this was just preventative maintence.

Great Truck

Most reliable truck I have owned. Real fun to drive. Have to deal with drive line bumping when stopped which I understand is common for 2006 trucks from Toyota and Ford. Not a problem in terms of performance or safety. Just an annoyance. Performs more like a car. Last year of a true midsized pickup. 2007 they went huge with Tundra. It is a great size for functionality, comfort and handling.
