  • Great Truck - 2002 Toyota Tacoma

    Hands down the best vehicle Ive owned.

  • A good truck but for a few nits - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Tight and well-built. Underpowered, but this may be the fault of the tall tires which raise the effective gear ratio. Driver seat felt weird at first but my bad back loves it, even on long drives. Weird and irritationg motor rap around 2K under light load, sounds like a rod knock, but cant be heard outside the vehicle. Some folks say the 3RZ motor will just keep running regardless. Bought a 100K "wrapper" warranty just in case.

    I have found not problems with the truck. when needed the 4 wheel drive is indispensible. have never been stuck and vehicle always starts. Installed an engine block heater for cold climates.

  • The best 4-wheel-drive truck for the $$$ - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I wanted a reliable 4x4 truck that would last at least ten years. This truck has now 30K miles and there is nothing wrong with it. I have taken it off-road a couple of times and have been very confident in it. It is clearly not a truck that you want to abuse too much off road though. After off-roading once I had to have the alignment done because it was thrown off. Even though the ride is somewhat rough and sometimes bouncy, the truck has very good handling and it is sure on its "feet".

  • Tacoma Double Cab Pre-Runner - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    After comparing all of the competition, this is the best truck for the money. Everything about it is smooth and well built. If you like the looks of a 4x4, but the price of the 4x2s, the TRD package is the way to go. The only way to tell that its not a 4x4 is to look under the truck.

  • Tacoma still the best midsize truck - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Not for the budget buyer! But if you want the best you get it with this beauty. Try it for a test drive I really enjoy it!

  • Noise - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I like the concept of the 4 doors. I expected alot more quality in design. I am extremely disappointed in the noise factor of this truck. They needed to put alot more time in the design of it, to take away the wind noise.
