  Toyota for Life - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jason Wheat - November 26 - 1:36 am

  This is the third toyota truck I have owned. Had my needs for room and transmission types not have changed I would still have the first one. I have been extremely pleased with every one. Not once have I had to put it in the shop. Tacomas have excellent street reputations among sensible drivers looking for quality trucks.

  4 Door Taco Driven Hard - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Kris - November 11 - 7:50 pm

  Most versatile vehicle Ive ever owned!! Huge back seat for a mid-size truck. Im 6 tall and I fit back there. Very, very reliable!!! I abuse this truck and it takes every bit of it. 118,000 miles only work done is new brake pads, tires, and o2 sensors. Very usable truck. I drive it on the highway every day, go off-road on weekends, and tow my boat regularly. Great truck period.

  Toyotas Fly - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By heavy weight - August 26 - 2:00 am

  This was actually my dads truck. He was in a serious accident, he flew about 100 yards off a canyon.He cleared oak trees. (to tell how high in the air he was) The truck was totalled beyond repair but the inside of the cab was undamaged. If he had been in any other kind of truck he would be dead!

  Best truck to date for ownership - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Southerngator - July 20 - 9:00 am

  Fun truck to drive, great gas mileage for the horse power to weight ratio w/ the 2.7 four cylinder engine. Wife would love to steal it from me if she had the chance! Best investment for the reliability & quality, only had to change out the org. set tires w/ normal maintenance. I purchased the truck second hand from the local dealer, (after searching the web), got a great deal! Third door would have been nice addition, missing fm my model, but I still would recommend it!

  Best truck money can buy - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Best truck out there - January 13 - 6:30 am

  I have drove tacomas all my life and this is the best to date. I do a lot of 4 wheelin and this truck will beat any jeep. I never have to worry about anything mechanical, ever. This truck is solid. I have big tires and a lift and it still runs strong at 103,000 miles on the clock. I had a chevy truck that was a pile of junk at 100,000. You cant even compare the two. Toyota is in a league of its own. I plan on driving this truck for decades to come. Great truck.

  Shes my baby! - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Carl B - December 17 - 9:33 pm

  This is my third Toyota pick up; Ive owned 1 1986 1/2 ton and now 2 Tacomas. My 2001 Tacoma Pre-runner Doublecab is still as exciting to drive as the day I drove it off the lot. Fuel economy with the 2.7L 4 cylinder (which isnt offered in the new Tacoma Pre-Runner Doublecabs by the way) is absolutely outstanding (around 25 to 28 hwy and 20 to 22 city) if I dont drive like a maniac. Ill neve give up this truck; its the best vehicle Ive ever owned.

  Taco lover... - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By elendil - October 3 - 2:00 am

  I love my tacoma! Ive driven alot of trucks, and this one is the best by far. Even with the I4, it has an adequate amount of power with the 5spd. I would recommmend it to anyone who is looking for a good, reliable truck. I have over 32,000 miles on it, and no problems!

  4X4 TACOMA - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By JACOB - September 27 - 10:00 am

  I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FUEL ECONOMY, BUT WHEN I REALIZED THE TOWING AND HAULING CAPACITY, I UNDERSTOOD WHY THE FUEL MILEAGE IS WHAT IT IS. THE TRUCK HAS A 4:10 AXLE RATIO THAT KILLS ANY HOPE OF GETTING 18+ MPG(WHICH IS WHAT I HAD BEFORE THIS). BUT POWER, PERFORMANCE AND A GOOD SET OF MUD TIRES MADE UP FOR MY DISAPPOINTMENT. I CANT WAIT TO INSTALL MY TRD SUPERCHARGER AND GET EVEN LESS FUEL ECONOMY, BUT A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN.

  Sexy Tacoma - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Styles - August 17 - 6:36 pm

  I love this car, its unbelievable, my only complaint is the clock location, youre better off looking at your phone or watch, its like under the steering wheel and youll get into an accident trying to find it. My only complaint about it is the fuel economy, its ok, I get about 240 on the tank but it seems like the gauge empties pretty quickly. Im sure its amazing for a truck. My main advice to anyone looking to get one of these is go with the v6 and a prerunner, its much higher up than it seems and I love the horsepower and the feel of the ride. You wont be let down.
