2001 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab

Most Reliable Vehicle I've Ever Owned

By Mean Green (TX) on Monday, May 20, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 200,000

Pros: "Reliablitiy, low maintenance, great value."

Cons: "No real power, sits a little low to the ground"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"If my 15yr old Toyolta could talk, it would say "I'm ready, put me in coach! It's been a great reliable little truck. Very low maintanance needed. Other then regular oil changes and tire replacements, we've only had to replaced the cluch once. Every time I think about selling it, I can't seem to do it. You know what they say...,If it's not broke don't fix it."

By Marshall (ID) on Monday, May 13, 2013

I owned and sold this car

Pros: "It always ran and got me where I wanted to go..."

"I owned this truck for 12 years. The original battery lasted 10 years. The only thing I ever had to replace other than tires and oil was shocks. I hated to get rid of something this dependable but needed more power for pickup camper and pulling boat. I replaced it with another Tacoma with a bigger engine."

Best Truck I have owned

By S.H. (TX) on Wednesday, May 08, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 148,000

Pros: "Great for hauling young kids and all your stuff"

Cons: "Entertainment system works good / no auxillary jac"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Have taken this from the mountains to the beach and back numreous times in 9+ years. Never had any major problems. Oil changes, Timing belt etc at 100,000 other than that has no problems. I have raised two young kids in the back seat. Definitely need bed extender for stuff like plywood sheets. Handles every day hauling and moving furniture great. I have never towed anything with it so I can't comment on it. Gas mileage isn't awesome 16-18 mpg in town and max 20 mpg on highway, but way better than a bigger trucks."

Trouble free vehicle.

By Jimmy B (FL) on Wednesday, May 01, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 191,000

Pros: "Reliability, low cost"

Cons: "Payload capacity."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"No worries with the Tacoma, as the maintenance costs are VERY low. I purchased it new in '99. Mine is has 191k on it, still has the original clutch, A/C, & exhaust system. Only had to replace a leaking radiator, A/C evaporator, and a bushing in the starter (~$49) which I did myself. Other than normal maint (tires, brakes, oil changes, etc.), there are no surprises. Doesn't burn any oil at all after 191k! This is a great truck and will serve you well. My kids don't want to mess with a 5-speed so I'll keep driving it indefinitely. If you drive very carefully (glide up to stop lights, accelerate slowly), you'll get 28 mpg in the city. Best part- - the trade-in value has actually gone up over the last few years due to the cost of a new one & scarcity. The word is out how reliable these trucks are. There's nothing like low cost + great running/reliable transportation! Have fun!"
