10,000 miles and no problems. The engine runs good and the transmission shifts smoothly. Mechanically the truck has been as good as they get.

The only problem is that I am getting poor gas mileage - 20 miles per gallon on average. No matter if I drive the interstate highways or red light to red light, it still gets 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel tank is far too small, you have to re-fuel after driving 300 miles each time. A 20 gallon fuel tank would be a big improvement.

Driver comfort could be better on long trips, the floor board is not level and makes your ankles bend in an uncomfortable position. The steering wheel is too far away from a >6' driver. A telescopic steering column would be nice.

The ride is little harsh on streets with bad paving, which adds to driver fatigue.

General Comments:

The truck runs and drives great, but the gas mileage was a big disappointment. For short trips and day to day driving, the Tacoma is a great choice as long as you don't mind getting gas often.

No Mechanical failure to the Toyota Truck To Date.

General Comments:

Aggresive V6, smooth and refine transmission, good low end torque for you weekend warriors, bulletproof reliability and dependability. Seats Are comfortable, and supportive, although it does lack that extra space for work purpose if you are in the construction world. Great Beefy suspension for off road, handles abuse well and takes any road like it was made for it. A Good truck, but a little pricey compared to some larger more powerful trucks in it's class. If you are looking for a dependable truck with good features and options, great low end torque and a smooth transmission, look no further, Your truck is At Toyota.

Nothing.

General Comments:

No serious complaints with this vehicle. The 4WD is good enough for lite duty and common road hazards (i.e snow, rain, dirt). It was a difficult transition from the roomy F150 to the smaller cab. Also, wish the fuel mileage were a little better. But I expect this truck to run for years.

General Comments:

This truck is attractive, has ample power, transmission shifts nice, has a good ride for a 4x4, handles nice, console has a nice assortment of cup holders and storage. My off-road use for this truck is beach fishing in Texas. I have had no problem tracking through sand, some of it deep, to get to my favorite spots. The seats in this truck are at times bothersome to downright uncomfortable on somewhat extended journeys. I am 6'1" and 205 lbs., so I am not too big for the truck. Judging from my experience and some other reviews I have read, it might behoove Toyota to have extended comfort in mind for their next generation Tacoma that is due next year. The oil filter is difficult to access, but not impossible. At times when I have reduced the stereo volume, I have noticed squeaking where the top of the dashboard makes contact with the windshield. If you can handle the seats, take a long test drive, and deal with the occasional minor squeak in the dash, then I highly recommend this truck to anyone. This will probably not be my last Toyota truck. I am confident that they will remedy the comfort issue with the seats. However, if they don't, it will be my last. Anybody at Toyota reading?
