Everything I wanted in a truck.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 3,700

Pros: "Great look, comfy interior, excellent sound sytem."

Cons: "Rides better when there is some weight in the back"

"I have had my eye on the Tacoma for several years, opting for this over the larger and more expensive Tundra. I purchased a 2013 V6 4x4 crew cab long bed and I absolutely love it. Roomy enough to take the family on vacation, we have our first long-distance trip planned for the summer. The long bed and tow package offers the versatility of the bigger trucks without feeling too bulky on the road. It handles well, especially when carrying cargo. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants to have a great family vehicle that is truly utilitarian. I plan on keeping it for a very long time."

Baddest tower/ off road capable

By Tacolover (TX) on Monday, May 06, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 110,000

Pros: "4x4 is very capable with locker and 4.0/ reliable"

Cons: "Stupid recalls that mean nothing."

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

"Don't underestimate this truck. The 4x4 will go anywhere with standard or just above standard without mods other than tires. I have a 2005 and 2012 Baja both are 4x4. My 05 with the supercharger 6 speed manual will run with any full size truck. And will tow anything you hook it to. I once pulled a ram and a s10 both at the same time out of a mud hole. If you want a truck that will perform and work the Tacoma is for you. I will never have another truck other than the Tacoma I don't like getting stuck or let down."

This is a great small truck!

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 69,000

Pros: "Low maintainence, great design"

Cons: "Sensor indicators, lack of molding, no ashtray"

"Never having a truck before I decided to buy the 2006 Tacoma regular cab. I wanted something that I could fit into (6'4" and 260lbs) but not spend alot on gas with the bigger models. I've had it for 7 years now and keep up on the routine oil changes and suggested lifetime maintainence. I've only had a few inconvienences. Those being *Floor matt* and sprial cable recalls. Two things that are minor that I don't care for or wish was different would be 1)molding on the sides of the door to stop knick/dents from others doors 2) not have the tire sensors. It's aggravating to have the light come on without a real indication of what the problem is. It could mean that you need air in the spare (a pain), oil change reminder to something more serious. Plus you have to turn off the light manually. I've gone in for an oil change and the techs either forget or don't know how to turn it off. I live in the desert where the sun is a killer on most cars interior. My dash and other plastics look almost as good as the day I got it. Smokers beware...there is NO ashtray! The gas milage is around 15/23 mpg. If you're looking for a great smaller truck I'd recommend this one!"
