  The Best - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By adammc - March 14 - 8:00 am

  This truck was a graduation gift from my parents and they couldnt have made a better choice. I have owned a 91 and 93 toyota tacoma, both 4x4, and they have become my favorite trucks. I drive my truck hard, using the 4X4 on a regular basis and I have yet to have a problem. The off-road capability is unmatched by anything I have come across yet. It is a simple truck that cant be beat!

  Good little truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By john in GA - March 11 - 9:36 pm

  Its a great truck for the work commute. About 22mpg. Then, when I need it - hauling furniture, groceries, lumber, propane, gravel, yard work, etc. Theres some room for stuff behind the seat, and while a full car seat would be tight, my 4 year old fits well in a booster seat behind the passenger seat. I was also surprised to find it can haul U-Hauls largest trailer straight on the bumper, just had to buy the ball and lights. Ive kept up with the maintenance schedule and have only had to replace things Ive actually physically broken (advice: dont drop a tree near your truck, it may hurt the paint job.)

  Great Truck for the Long Haul! - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Leon - December 2 - 1:20 pm

  Toyota makes a great truck with an actual 4 door area for seating or carrying itmes. The mechanical durability is great, not one problem in over 105,000 miles! Inside seats could use a little more cushioning, but the power, gas mileage and reliability make this truck a winner. I will keep mine until it reaches 750,000 miles in ten years.

  Tacoma Rules the Road, and Off Road too! - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By gunslinger357 - November 5 - 1:53 am

  My Toyota Tacoma Prerunner Doublecab 3.4L V-6 TRD RULES the Road! It Kicks BUTT in every way. It is Ultra Reliable, Toyota-Tough, and I can ALWAYS depend on it. On the weekends, my Tacoma can Tear it UP with the best of them Off Road. In fact it IS the best, because every week I pass by all the broken down Fords, Chevys, and Dodges with engine/transmission problems and I laugh. My Tacoma rocks them ALL! Ive tried the Rest, now I Own the BEST!

  A Very Good Truck - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By cromboaz - October 27 - 10:00 am

  This is a very good truck if you are in need of a vehicle that can seat 5 and have a small pick up. Compared to the other trucks that are in its class the Tacoma seems to me to have more interior room than the Dodge and Nissans that I looked at. I am also getting 17/20 mpg.

  Best of 13 Vehicles Ive Owned. - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By flyfishing - October 9 - 10:00 am

  for 85,000 miles in less than 3 years, I have put about 8,000 true off-road miles on it and can say it is the best built vehicle Ive owned. Im looking at another one, but feel comfortable putting 3-400,000 on it. Get one!

  Its been a pleasure - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By AdamE - June 17 - 1:56 am

  Well Im selling my truck after three great years (only because Ive decided to become a sedan guy). I could not be happier with my Tacoma over the years. Got regular oil changes and that was it for the whole three years. No mechanical problems ever.

  Tough Tacoma - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Sticks - June 1 - 10:00 am

  Where Im from, most everybody drives big Detroit Irons. Where the big boys rule and the Domestics are the tool, my Tacoma may be just beginning to fancy the imaginations of the the local old guard. Not only Do I often turn heads with the stylings of my shiny black workhorse, but I recieve reluctant, sometimes mumbled or tongue and cheek, compliments and eagerly anticipated questions regarding her performance. Proving Grounds- Botswana River in Canada! 20 plus miles of all-terrain madness (Rocks,mud,sand,water,climbs,etc) Result? Speechless!...and it wasnt just me!

  THE BEST - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By dave - March 17 - 10:20 am

  I have been thoroughly happy with this car. Although the back seat is not exactly spacious, it is great to have a spot for an extra person or a bunch of extra stuff. You can actually fit quite a bit of stuff back there.

  Totally Awesome! - 2001 Toyota Tacoma
  By Rod - February 25 - 10:56 pm

  My 2001 pre-runner is nothing more than amazing. I have over 70,000 miles with no mechanical problems at all. I guess this is why you never see the 01 to 04 on a used car lot. Nobody sells them once they have one!
