  Wasent Looking - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By Diana - April 21 - 8:16 pm

  I wasent considering this truck until I drove it. I must confess my narrowness of mind while shopping and only looking at the full size trucks. I love this truck and I would purchase another one without hesitation. It also fits into my garage easier than the big trucks which was a safety/security concern for me.

  Cool Truck - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By MikeyG - December 9 - 11:23 am

  This is a great looking truck inside and out. I like the ground clearance and have good visibility. Im 63" and there is plenty of head room inside the cab. Its comfortable and has a good amount of storage inside. I havent had any problems with my Tacoma. Ive only had to do the regular scheduled maintence. I would highly recommend the Tacoma to anyone in the market for a quality pick-up. I also suggest that you go with the V6 over the 4-cylinder.

  Blown Engine but still like it - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By houstonwarren2 - December 8 - 8:53 am

  I have owned this truck since it was new. 4 cylinder, full 4-door model. The fuel economy sits around 19mpg highway fairly consistently. For the first 53k miles I abused the heck out of this truck. It is a gutless 4banger so I would push it to just over 100mph by pushing the OD/off on the shifter to drop a gear in order to get over 100. This was nearly every day for my commute because I literally am always running late. The minimum was 90mph (toll road 17 miles to work). Under the powertrain warranty I carved out cylinders 1 and 3, so I was given a new short-block and new lease on life. Ever since, I dont even let this thing slip into overdrive and baby her.

  We love it - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By ryari - November 27 - 10:00 am

  I have owned 3 compact trucks over the years. Datsun(Nissan), Ford, and Chevy. None have impressed me from the beginning until now. The Toyota dbl cab feels,drives, and handles like a dream.It looks great and all my friends are green with envy. Yes it is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Like everyone else I hate the clock placement, but my biggest complaint is that my wife is always behind the wheel. Oh well........

  No other truck comes close - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By libraryguy85 - July 25 - 9:13 pm

  This truck is the most complete and downright solid truck I have ever owned and probably ever will own. I bought this truck used because I liked the second generation body style better than the new ones, and it has not disappointed in any way. Ive wanted one since I was in high school, back when I drove a 96 Nissan hardbody pickup, and about 8 years later, I had a TRD 4 door in my driveway, ironically almost the same color (Impulse Red Pearl) as the Nissan. I never thought Id find a better truck than my first, but I was wrong. This truck is perfect in every way and never lets me down. It has about 108K on the odometer and many miles to go. Keep up the good work, Toyota!

  Bought brand new in 02. No mechanical problems, only issue was rattle in dash. 4WD is great! Decent MPG for a v6 4WD ~19 overall.

  Solid little truck - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By John - May 22 - 4:50 pm

  The Tacoma is a respectable little truck. In 6 years Ive put 75000 miles on it and only had to change tires, the battery, coolant, and oil. One thing in particular, is the steering has never gotten out of alignment, I had it checked when I replaced the OEM tires. It was right on. That was at 35000 miles. It is reliable, but slightly underpowered for its weight. It only gets about 18 mpg overall; in a range from 15 to 25 mpg. The interior is appealing except the seats are too lightweight. A seat spring makes noise sometimes. It also needs keyless entry. The headlights have never been changed and have been burning for 75000 miles! Same goes for other lights too. Ive had no major problems

  New Tacoma Xtracab - 2002 Toyota Tacoma
  By TexTacoma - May 3 - 10:00 am

  I just turned 1000 miles, and I couldnt be happier. This truck is great. I have three kids and they all fit in the back seat. The truck runs great, and is a blast to drive. I will update this at 10,000 miles and well see if its the same.
