  It doesnt get better than this - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By The Tom - July 9 - 8:13 am

  I bought this 1 year old truck used at a dealer. It gets 18 plus mpg. The access cab area doors open. It has way more room than my 98 Tacoma. It is quiet. It commutes well. Composite bed is genius. My 98 Tacoma was bought back by Toyota in 6/07, for a defective rotted frame. I was heartbroken. This truck purchase is quickly easing my pain.

  Best Pick-Up - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Oregon Pick-Up - January 9 - 2:33 pm

  I have been looking to get a tacoma since 2005 when the reviews came out on the new v-6 with the 6-speed manual. my wait was well worth it. I love this pick-up. plenty of power and all but one very small feature I wanted. Best in class by far I research for 2 and half years and always came up with the same answer for what I wanted.

  Toyota Reliability Again! - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By GeorgeNfla - January 1 - 4:00 pm

  This is my second late model Tacoma. The 2.7L-4-cylinder engine performs very strongly, yet returns decent mileage, high 20s. The truck fires off with the ignition so quickly, barely hear the starter. I own a base Tacoma with automatic as the only option. The only option I wish I wouldve gotten was cruise-control, other than not having that, its a perfect truck without flaws. I would recommend it to a friend.

  Oh what a feeling! - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Mr. Brown - December 13 - 6:06 am

  I used to have a 93 Toyota pickup, 5 spd manual with the 22RE engine that I loved. Put 24k miles on my 08 so far and no major complaints. The SR5 4.0L V6 has more than ample power. Roomy interior. Gated automatic shift lever does not have locking button so that the lever can shift at anytime if it is accidentally bumped. The downshifts could be smoother and less often, but arent that big a deal. Wish Id gotten the stick shift instead, but at the time I wanted to try an automatic after 15 years of my old truck. Love the suicide rear doors on the access cab. But rear seating is cramped and should only be for short trips or kids.

  First Toyota Truck - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Kevin - December 10 - 9:23 pm

  This is the first Toyota truck I have ever owned. Ive only had it a few weeks but could not be happier. Plenty of power for passing and a very comfortable ride for a pick-up truck. The interior of the truck was set up very nicely with no gauges being blocked from your view with the steering wheel. Ive seen several reviews from professional websites that claim the seating position is too low. Im 62" and I say the seating position is too high. Other than that an overall exceptional truck.

  Solid reliable truck - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By Aikizlla - November 18 - 7:10 am

  I have wanted a Toyota truck for some time. I owned other models but never kept them long. The 08 Tacoma is a solid well built truck with all the features I could want. Six speed is fun to drive and gives a little better engine break control in the snow. The TRD package provides some great seats and other features. The truck runs solid if not a little rough but it is a truck and with the bed loaded it smooths out considerably. Mileage is about as expected. The fit and finish is very solid as well. Does not look cheap or cheesy. Overall very happy with my purchase, great financing was offered by toyota as well as other rebate incentives.

  As Advertised - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By BillM - September 6 - 8:10 am

  I have driven my truck about 36,000 miles in 10 months(outside sales w/large territory). Power and handling are excellent for a truck. Mileage stays between 21.5 and 22 with mostly highway driving. Previously drove a Colorado for 150,000 miles. Toyota power and quieter ride are a serious upgrade. Used to have to pull off the road in the Chevy to talk on the cell.

  Great Truck - Worth the Price - 2008 Toyota Tacoma
  By rmd0311 - August 22 - 4:23 am

  I looked at this and the Frontier. While the Frontier would have been a good 3k cheaper, I like the Tacoma much more. There is nothing not to like. Drives like an SUV but I have a truck bed. Perfect combination.
