Best deal out there!
Nothing is wrong with this truck.
It tears the dirt up!
4Runner was awesome, but I flipped it and lived, so I thought I would give the Tacoma a try. I am glad I did!
Great truck.
Plenty of power.

Very strong and powerful
Some occasional rattling in the dash, but nothing major other than that.
2.7 liter engine is strong enough to handle anything you can throw at it.
Seats truly suck for long distance trips.
Has no problem getting up to speed quickly.

A simple yet dependable kind of car
I gave my Bettle to my younger brother.
Never had a major problem on it though.
It wasn't the best car, but very dependable and cheap on maintenance.

Stock, right out of the box, this is the best truck on the market hands down.
My differential gasket started leaking at approx. 30,000.
Also too much fading has occurred in the headlight lens plastic, however hardly any to the rubber trim i.e. around windows.
Bumpers too week for "parking by touch" in a tight situation. The front bumper bends down to easy, the chrome rear bumper dents, with no damage to any other vehicle encountered. (I live in San Francisco).
The seats are a joke, new ones on order at 55,000 miles; not from Toyota this time!
After some after market seats this truck is awesome! Really, I've owned plenty of vehicles and the quality of the working parts is much better than expected; even for a Toyota!
I am very happy with my purchase, which was a dealer demo (highly recommended).
The engine, (2.7) is better than I even need. Acceleration is always there when I need it, and with an exahst its sublime.

What good is the truck if you can`t get it fixed when it brakes
The truck shakes badly in the steering wheel.
I have had the truck to the dealer, And they refuse to fix the problem, By saying they can`t find anything wrong.
I like the trucks reliability.
However the dealer service has left a sour taste in my mouth.

You get what you pay for
Trim pieces fall off. Engine doesn't always start on first crank.
Can't fit 31" tires under the tacoma like you could on the old p/u.

I was told 31" tires would fit on a 98 4x4 trd tacoma. The guy I contacted said I would get a better ride. Either me or you spoke with the wrong person.
If 31" tires won't fit try letting some air out or try 30" tires.
My toyota tacoma is a 2000 and it doesn't start on the first crank, she is still a champ.
I have a 2000 Tacoma xtracab 4WD with a leveling kit installed. What would be the largest wheel/tire combo I can put on it without any more suspension/body lift?
Poor workmanship
The dash rattle when the weather is cold. The transmission or drive-shaft making a clunking noise when start, after a stop.
Both problems were brought to the dealer, which claimed nothing wrong with the truck. Please disappointed with the dealer. Definitely not buying another Toyota.

What did you expect from going from a sports car to a pick-up? They weren't really built for luxury, but rather reliability. I don't know, maybe you just had the misfortune of getting one of the bad apples in the bunch.
The dash rattling when it is cold out should not be much of a problem since the cab will warm up anyway.
The clunking noise is the free play in the drive train (transmission gears, splines and differential. Don't worry about that, the drive train will outlast the rest of the truck. I really don't think you have much to complain about, you just expect too much.
Best mid-size truck on the planet
Clicking noise when I push the brake, will get it fixed when the second service is required.
Paid 32,000.00 Canadian, should come with power windows and locks as standard, other than that I could not ask for more.
