  • Great Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    The Tacoma is a great all-around truck. The only complaint I have is the high price, but you get what you pay for. I havent had the chance to take it off-road yet, but on the street it holds its own.

  • A Good Recomendation - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I use this truck for everday use. This includes towing, hauling, and some off- road use. The truck has performed nicely with no problems.

  • A Real Truck!!! - 2003 Toyota Tacoma

    Have the TRD package, stock, except added a grille guard. Took it up Horsethief Canyon Trail at Lake Mead Rec. area last Sat..Kept it in H-4 the whole time.(Jeez, when do you use L- 4???) Only lifted Rubicon jeeps could handle this trail, except for my taco. Larger 4x4s have to stick to civilized off-roads.

  • Dont have the feeling - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    This is my third toyota vehicle. For the first time I am concerned about the level of quality. What I am concerned about now were not apparent when I purchased the vehicle. However, now I notice the drivers side door panel doesnt fit flush with the side of vehicle, the temperature gauge sticks after an evening of subzero tempretures. Finally, the frontend makes uncomfortable noises when turning hard left or right when in four wheel drive. I am left hoping I can get many years of trouble free operation as I have experienced with my past toyotas.

  • Toyota Doesnt mean quality - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I bought the truck because its looks good and because its a Toyota, but I have had problems with the breaks, the U-joints, and the thing rattles very bad. Also the doors feel like paper when you shut them and it is noisy when you drive and if the windows are rolled down you get blown out.

    Never thought Id buy anything "foreign" but Im glad I did. This is one great truck and can actually be used like one.

  • love it - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I got rid of a Ford F-150 4x4 to get this and I havent regretted it for one minute. i have plenty of space, plenty of power, and Im getting about 20 mpg, which I never even approached in the Ford. The smaller bed took a little getting used to, but with the help of tiedown straps I regularly carry 4x8 sheets of plywood with no problem. I would recommend this truck without hesitation.

  • Great Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I Just traded a tundra w/trd for this 03toyota dbl cab w/trd and i am very very satisfied with truck. It fits me and my family better than the tundra did the only thing i am missing is the v8 power and i think tacoma needs more available options like homelink and over head console with temp and compass. But i still love it w/out the features..

    Outstanding vehicle, overall good quality, very user friendly. 21 MPG average with a v6 5 speed. Excellent safety features as well. Plenty of power, very responsive acceleration. Overall good price. A good looking "beefy" truck!
