  • New Mommy-mobile - 2004 Toyota Tacoma

    This truck is great for hauling kids, motorcycles & dogs which is something my Expedition couldnt do. Looks great and wears the "dependable" Toyota namebadge. Look forward to owning this truck for years and years to come.

  • My Small Truck - 2004 Toyota Tacoma

    I use my truck for pleasure and work. I pull a 3 ton dump trailer with no problem. It handles well in snow but you must engage 4 wheel drive. I dont go off road, but the ride is fine considering its a truck. Ive filled the bed with pavers & cement and the truck didnt flinch. Its a reliable and dependable vehicle. I only take it to the dealer for service. I put a cap on the bed and it looks great!

    Great truck. Handles very well on and off road. No problems out of it yet.

  • Solid as a rock - 2004 Toyota Tacoma

    Had this truck for a year and a half now. This is my second truck (had a 2001 Dakota V8 for a year but it turned out to be a lemon, nearly self- destructed). If you want a truck that is trouble free and solid, this is your vehicle. I loved my 01 Dakota (when it was running), but it had too many problems to keep. The Tacoma, while not as powerful or agile as the Dodge, is built much better. As long as youre not expecting sports car handling or power, this is a perfect truck.

  • Love it so far - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Just got my 04 Tacoma. Previously owned a Nissan Frontier and I just cant believe how much better this truck is. The power is excellent and smooth. The 4x4 system works great and is easy to engage. Overall this truck is more than I expected.

    I think that this truck is one of the best vehicles that I have owned in my history of driving. If you would like to have a vehicle that is fuel effcient and is fun to drive then get a new toyota Tacoma today

  • AWESOME - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    i finally figured it out... after several chevrolets, i found a truck that feels right. i can feel the quality as soon as i open the door & take a seat behind the wheel. i absolutley love the coziness of the cab & the simplicity of the controls (doesnt take long to figure out where & how everything works). the A/C blows snowcones, which is very important in BIG D. great look, great ride, great truck

  • Very Satisfied Toyota Customer - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    This is my 8th Toyota and my 2nd Tacoma. I couldnt be more pleased with the vehicle or the dealership. Its got more than enough pep and pick up for me and is every bit as much fun to drive as a sports car like the Celica. I do a lot of do-it-yourself projects and am very pleased with the Tacomas bed size and hauling capacities.

  • MY 2001 TACOMA - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I spoke to dealers and mechanics about this, and I all get is that they all do that, which I find that real b.s. Another thing, the rubber around my windows are much harder to keep clean for the first time in 30 years. I have been a Toyota owner since the 70s and never had that problem-ever.. I spoke to the dealers and the mechanics and all they tell me is that they have to be cleaned with soft scrub and use wax on it.... Since when was I told to use bathroom cleaner on my truck? I know that it is not under warranty-but I would love to hear from you-I can get that replaced for free....

  • Loved my TRD Taco! - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I actually purchased my 99 Tacoma in 9/1999 for $22,500. It was well equipped with SR5 and the TRD-Off Road package. I wanted one with a 5-speed though, and it was very hard to find because of the "popular" build packages. If you ask my wife, shed tell you she was jealous of it. I didnt help matters by calling it my baby. I had to sell it recently because I now have two kids that I didnt have when I bought it. It always ran perfectly. Nothing ever broke. It was great off-road, in the rain and snow. I sold it in early 2004 for $14,500, thousands more than I could have got for any other comparable 99 truck.
