  Worth Every Penney - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By dbatten - March 29 - 7:26 am

  Well, Ive owned my Tacoma for almost a year now and its time to review it. I had wanted one for about two years and when I found out they were changing the style for the 05 I went in and bought an 04. Ill let Toyota work the bugs out of the new design before I give it a try. Toyota is good, but not perfect and the 04 is basically the same truck they have been building for 9 years. Theyve had lots of time to get it right. So, what did I get for my money? I got a vehicle that I can take my wife and 3 kids in to get groceries or I can take a few buddies and enough gear to go camping for a week. Its smaller size and high ground clearance allow me to go places where others cant.

  Best Truck I have ever driven. - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By Eissac337 - March 21 - 10:00 am

  I have had no problems with this truck...best car-buying decision I have ever made. I know other people who also own tacomas...we are all very much satisfied. I have never needed warranty service thus far.

  Tacoma Rules! - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By johnof - February 11 - 10:00 am

  Great design in a powerful package. The 4 doors are perfect for the kids -- surprizingly spacious in the rear compared to the 2-door extended cab versions. No mechanical problems in almost a year. Mileage not bad for a 3.4 liter V6 with plenty of towing power.

  Tacomas are top Toys! - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By TOYLC1978 - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Traded in a 1999 3/4 ton Silverado I bought new. This Tacoma carries & drives BETTER than the Chevy! I havent towed as heavy loads, but it tracks great in town. Ive also carried 1200 lbs. of rock payload on the freeway--great acceleration & no change in fuel economy. Love that I can park it anywhere. Theres also WAY more room in the double cab rear seat than was in the Silverado. Who says you need a full size truck?? Its truly a Toyota!

  2.7 L Is a little underpowered and only gets 1 MPG more then my friends V6 Tacoma. Seats get a little uncomfortable on long rides. Other then that a great reliable truck.

  60000 Mile Review - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By DanB - January 11 - 5:53 am

  I bought mine new in 2004. I have not had a single mechanical issue with the truck. An improperly tightened gas cap triggered a check engine light several months back, but it cleared itself. This truck has good low range power. I have had 1200 pounds of hardwood floors in the bed and have pulled a 21-foot Ranger boat with it. It pulls better than my previous full-size Bronco, but doesnt have the mid-range or top-end of other trucks. It works well within its rated capacities. I average 21 mpg, but this is because I dont drive hard. If I drove like most traffic, Id get the advertised 18 mpg. The comfort of the seats was absolutely terrible and I have replaced the seats which helped.

  Lemon - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By DevScott - December 31 - 10:00 am

  My tacoma broke down after a week, had it fixed, broke down again two weeks later. They have been blaming it on interior water leaks that short out the electronics. Its in for the third time now, still leaking water, still breaking down. 2000 km. 5 weeks old. Its been in the shop for 12 days and counting. Anybody can make a lemon. Dont get caught up in

  good but not great - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By esteband67 - December 7 - 3:00 am

  Purchased 04 Tacoma new. Love the outside looks. Power is good but not great. Dash and controls good. The clock is not visible but who cares. Everyone complains about the 4 cup holders. I love it! Put change in one, water in another, and Coke in another. Still one left for passenger. Only have 40,000 and the water pump went out. Good thing I got the extended warranty. I thought I would get at least 20 mpg on freeway but only have gotten 19. I get 16 in city which is horrible. For that matter, I would have gotten a Tundra. Would of got more power out of it and more room. I doubt I would get another toy. Nice truck, but expensive. Would look for something cheaper next time.

  My first "perfect" car/truck! - 2004 Toyota Tacoma
  By dJ5 - November 23 - 2:00 am

  Im a reasonable guy and expected a few imperfections on my new truck, but found none--even inside the engine compartment! The build-quality is amazing. I saw new Ford trucks which already had rust-spots on the housings of various engine components. The 2.4L motor is good match for this vehicle, enough pep with good fuel mileage. If I want to go fast, Ill ride my motorcycle. I think the 2.4L 2WD 5-spd manual trans., Extracab is the best value/dollar on the market--if you get it near invoice. I paid $16,500 out- the-door, including a $750 rebate. Mine has the SR5 "chrome package". I love my new truck! :-)
