  toyota truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Biker - December 9 - 2:00 am

  very good reliability, it feels a little cheap compared to american builders. 4 wheel drive system works very good. The body could be stronger and seats should have more support and comfort for us big guys.

  I LOVE WHAT YOU FOR ME.... TOYOTA - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By KuTeAzn1 - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I use this truck for everything... Daily driving... work and fun... I am a big time outdoors person... So I decided to lift the truck and change the suspension... because it came stock with the Tokiko shocks... Put Sway-A-Ways in the front and Blistens 5100 in the back and this thing is great off road... never had problems with it at all... Also upgraded the stock radio and cd to a 7" DVD/CD Player and it is great on long trips...

  Red Toy - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By First Time Owner - May 10 - 2:00 am

  I have been very pleased with my Tacoma 2001 Prerunner Extra Cab 2.7 liter 4cyl. 2wd. Have had some problems all under warranty and fixed to date, rattle in the dash was the most annoying found there to be a service bulletin on this and had it repaired turned out be the defroster box under the dash on the passengers side had to tear apart dash insulate it and put new defroster box in and some foam padding problem taken care of. have had both seatbelts replaced and a big problem after just 6,000 miles somthing with the bushings were worn in the front and it caused premature wear on one of the tires which was replaced after alot of grief.

  Swiss Army Knife - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By looseshoes - December 22 - 9:00 pm

  This vehicle does it all -mostly-. Hauls 4 or 5, carries cargo, gets decent mileage, super-dependable. Not too sporting on the road, but not expected really. I get about 21 mpg with 50/50 city/hwy driving. Has 70k miles and only problem was I had to have power steering pump replaced - under warranty.

  S-runner 2001 - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Switchblade Sue - October 30 - 12:20 pm

  I have had this truck only a week. I LOVE it! Great power even without the supercharger and i have gotten many compliments on it already. I find the hand brake to be very dated and the interior design to be very basic but even with these downfalls, i find it to be a great truck!

  Solid - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By ResQ198 - April 5 - 5:30 am

  I have had 3 Toyota pickups, an 89, 99 (my all time favorite) and now an 01. The 01 is great in the snow, reliable as can be, and easy to drive. The four cylinder is underpowered, and as some people have mentioned, the gears need some adjustment. I would never discourage anyone from buying anything Toyota, but like everything out there, if you take care of it, it will take care of you.

  By Seahawk Blitz it - March 11 - 10:00 am

  This truck is by far the best truck out there.I only have 31000 miles on my 2001and it looks and runs like the day I bought it.Wish the interior was a nicer design,but all in all this is the truck to jump towards.

  It meets my needs. - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Diana - May 9 - 10:00 am

  I am very happy with my pre-runner. It has been flawless in the 10K I have owned it. Actually Im not a big off road person, but I have hauled some big items with this truck, and for my small needs the truck is perfect. Good gas milage, low maintenance, and a great value for many years. It also hauls the kids and equipment fine. Then Ill give it to my son and buy another.

  Tacoma experience thus far...... - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By issisteelman - May 1 - 2:36 am

  My Toyota Tacoma is just over 4 years old. I only have 32,000 miles on it so far but the experience has been a good one. I live in the sticks in Northern NH and spend a lot of time on logging roads so many of the 32K miles have been hard ones. The only minor problem Ive experienced thus far is that my e- brakes recently locked up. Im also a little dissapointed in the gas mileage for a 4 cylinder (only getting about 17 mpg in town and 21 mpg on the highway). However, so far the truck is completely reliable and has lived up to my expectations regarding Toyota quality. I use my truck in all conditions to haul wood, to trailer my snowmachine, to trailer my 4-wheeler and it runs great!
