  Disappointed but still a good truck - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Nelson Colon - July 23 - 2:10 pm

  I purchase a 2006 Tacoma Pre-Runner Jan of this year, it is my second Tacoma and I really have enjoyed the old one as well as the new 2006. There are some disappointments on this truck, if you happen to be traveling and there is a need to hang your clothing by using hangers you will not be able to see out of the rear view mirror, it will completely block your view. I find it hard to believe that the engineers at Toyota actually allow this to happen this is a hassaress and should have been discuss and relocated as the truck was been tested (is obvious they did not test the truck well). The brakes are spongy,squeal like a pig, hard to stop.

  Jeffs Tacoma Review - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jeff - July 15 - 2:20 pm

  First Toyota Tacoma ever purchased. Very wise decision for me. It has a strong V6 engine, very capable and responsive for this size of truck while still getting good fuel economy. Lots of fun to drive, especially while listening to the 6 disc CD changer. Great truck.

  Great truck - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By thegreydog - July 15 - 8:20 am

  A great buy! I have owned many trucks and this is by far the best. It has plenty of power and it is comfortable ride. I really dont know what else to say. If you are looking for a great mid-size truck, this is the one. It has everything you ask for.

  Steering wheel shakes - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By 06TxTaco - July 14 - 4:06 am

  Overall a great truck, good power and very comfortable truck. My truck has a shake or shimmy in the steering wheel that the dealer cant seem to fix after several attempts, they even let me drive a new 07 off the lot and it had the same problem. The truck rides fairly smoothly but the steering wheel shake between 55 and 70 MPH is extremely annoying. Other than that, I love this truck, beautiful styling, plenty of power, comfort, good gas mileage for a truck. I get between 20 and 22 MPG depending on how my right foot feels that day, combined city/highway driving.

  Great Tacoma - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By lovecars10 - June 15 - 8:22 pm

  Okay, I have what some people may call "car issues". I am 33 years old and on about the 40th car. Six months ago I bought a 25k mile 2006 with a factory warranty. I am totally not a truck guy and could not see myself driving an F-150. But the Tacoma is not a truck for us. Its the Ultimate Family Vehicle. We go camping, lots of room with tonneau cover, it can tow, it fits 4 of us comfortably, and I can get stuff from Lowes. By the way its very reliable and overall feels very solid. I cant believe that my top favorite car out of Acuras, Bmw, Saab and a bunch of others and its a "truck"...no, its an..."Ultimate Family Vehicle".

  Truck of Trucks - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By DJ - May 22 - 11:40 pm

  Overall the Tacoma is what a truck should be modeled after. Rugged, reliable and fun to drive. If one is the market for a true 4X4 truck, buy a Tacoma.

  Not Surprisingly Surprising - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By Nerl - April 14 - 4:30 am

  I have owned Toyota trucks in the past and will only buy Toyota. This truck has great power with the VVT-I engine. The new 5 speed tranny works great. I have over 6000 miles on my truck. We use it as our family vehicle so I had leather installed and it really made this truck a fine piece of machinery. The ride is surprisingly smooth and quiet. I get a combined driving mpg of 19. I am happy with that. I know 22 mpg will be no problem on a trip. I have experienced no axle wrap on this truck. I am not surprised by how good this truck really is because I didnt just stumble upon Toyota. I want a return for my hard earned money and Toyota delivers with its durability, reliability and residual value.

  Overrated - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By tacmot - March 10 - 12:20 am

  When I initially bought this 2006 TRD Tacoma, I was initially blown away with the styling and capability. Did a lot of bragging for Yota and probably sold a few vehicles for them. Fast forward 2 years, "the honeymoon is over" and it time for real solid engineering and time tested design to take over but I feel that this is not the one. This truck has not left me on the side of the road but is giving "indications of potential unreliable conditions" i.e. the tranny works but feels like it has begun a death march. The engine runs but sounds like it could have some problems in the not so distant future. learned my lesson, you be smart, learn from my mistake, buy an F-150, ford Im coming home.

  Hell Yeah!! - 2006 Toyota Tacoma
  By J. Hawkins - February 28 - 9:20 pm

  I have owned everything from Expeditions to Volvos and I am more pleased with this than any other. The ride is great and at 64" and 300 lbs I am plenty comfortable. Even the 4x2 handles very well off road and can get more places than larger 4x4s. Great for traveling. I have been from GA to WV, NY, and Key West with friends over summer vacation and we were all comfy. Costs about $50 a tank to fill and I get about 365 miles to a tank. One heck of a bang for your buck!! I will be buying another very soon.
