2002 Toyota Tacoma Extra Cab 4WD TRD Offroad Step V6

Summary:

The best compact 4WD truck on the market

Faults:

The only problem I have had to date has been an annoying click sound when depressing the clutch petal.

General Comments:

This truck, so far, has been the best vehicle I have ever owned.

It has a very comfortable interior with excellent lumbar support in the drivers seat.

The very functional and stylish step side bed now offered on this truck is about 8" narrower than the standard fleet side bed.

I have taken this truck off road several time and it has performed perfectly each time.

If you're looking for a great looking, reliable and functional 4WD this is the truck for you.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree, the Tacoma is a great truck. I own a 2003 Tacoma opted for the 260 hp Trd supercharged package. It's a great buy, and I wish you good luck with yours!

When it rains my Tacoma would leak on the passenger side floor boards. The dealership can't seem to fix the problem 5 times.

Very great running truck, but the body doesn't hold up well in the rain because it leaks.

We have a 2002 Tacoma double cab since April and it leaks on driver's side in the back cab area, had it to dealer once and they changed gaskets, but still pours in. It is once again scheduled for an appointment.

My 2002 Tacoma Prerunner has a leak in the passenger side floor board. Dealer made one attempt to fix the problem. As soon as it rained, The water poured in. Does anyone seem to know the problem?
