  Great Small Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Pilgrim - November 22 - 2:00 am

  For a small truck this is really comfortable to drive and easy to get into for large people. Your passengers are comfortable and at ease while riding in this truck.

  Great Truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By dennis - November 21 - 3:36 pm

  I have owned this vehicle for over two years. I bought it for myself, but it has now become my daughters primary vehicle. I feel good knowing that she is in a safe vehicle that is unlikely to cause problems for her. Whenever I take it in for routine service the techs comment on how good of shape it is in mechanically.

  Surprising MPG - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By John - November 20 - 4:10 pm

  Just purchased a 2003 Tacoma Prerunner 4x2 SR5, 2.47L. I was pleasantly surprised that on a trip from Boise, Idaho to Lompoc, CA I averaged 23.5 mpg using the cruise control as much as possible and the Power ECT on long uphill grades.

  Typical Toyota - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By R. P. Petersen - October 16 - 10:00 am

  This is my 9th Toyota purchase and the quality and appearance is second to none. I briefly owned a Honda Pilot and with less than a year ownership I was more than glad to rid myself of it. Regardless what others say about the Honda product Toyota is still head and shoulders above them. Attention to detail, reliability and resale value will keep me a Toyota customer for quite some time. Good job Toyota!

  Fun but noisy - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Mr Cheap - August 3 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the Tacoma for less than a week. Excellent design and quality. I had a Mazada B3000 4x4 V6 for less than 4 weeks, until the dealer could install A/C. No comparison... a rebranded Ford Ranger... The Tacoma is powerful, fun to drive, great traction in 4x4, but noisy. I know Toyota has great NVH engineering (my other car is a Lexus), but not enough was invested in this vehicle.

  Finally Got It!!! - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Troy - July 13 - 1:26 am

  I had always wanted a Tacoma, unfortunately I could never afford one until now. I started out about 3 years ago with my first Truck a 1999 Ranger. While this is a decent truck to start out with, I still wanted my Tacoma. So when I finally decided that I could afford one I went down to the Toyota dealer and bought a 2003 2.7L 5-Speed 4WD extended cab. It has loads more power then my Ranger(2.5L) as well as plenty of torque. While it is not a race engine, it still has plenty of power for what I need to do. I couldnt see wasting my money on a Hemi just to accelerate faster and get 8-10 MPG. The 4WD is superior to any other brand of truck, way better than the ranger.

  Only one complaint - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Blairnative - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I like this truck, I like it a lot. If this truck does not last me for 15 years I will be surprised. Just traded in my 1990 Toyota for the 2003. Love the rear differential lock, love the improved console. Why on earth they couldnt move the damned clock is beyond me. Its the only weak link in the whole damned thing.

  Great Truck, 10 years till my next one! - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jeff Miles - March 8 - 1:03 am

  I have to be honest that this is the best truck that I have ever owned. It does great on gas. I never have any problem with it. I use it for hauling, loading kayaks, mountain biking. And driving all over the country. In 5 years I have put 100,000 miles on it with no problem. I plan to put another 150,000 miles on it. I just keep the oil changed brakes and tires every two years and she runs like a champ. Great looking truck to. Next time though I think I am going to buy the v6. Better for towing my motorcycle!!

  By jonjon38 - March 5 - 2:00 am

  This is the first truck that I have ever owned that has met the durability and dependability that no other has been able to give to me.

  perfect truck - 2003 Toyota Tacoma
  By shawnwat - March 5 - 2:00 am

  My 2003 Tacoma Xtra Cab TRD 3.4L V-6 5 speed is a wonderful truck. It performs great in 4 wheel drive, from the snow to the beach to mud trails. Its 190 hp has more than enough zip to it. I plan on having this truck for a long time.
